From these two basic arguments, you should then wonder how Martin Ling has began such a vivid story of his life before his birth.

Muhammad, as we all know, is the prophet of Islam who established his new, monotheistic religion among the tribes of Arabia in the seventh century CE. Before Lings died in 2005, a newly revised edition of the book with 22 additional pages was published, which included final updates made on the text and incorporated into its contents, containing extra details pertaining to Muhammad's endeavors as well as accounts covering the spread of Islam into Syria and its neighboring states surrounding the Arabian Peninsula. I do not recommend this book to readers if they want to learn about Muhammad and the history of Islam.False teachings, false recordings, have becoming so intermingled with the core teachings of Islam, that separating the two has become near impossible. We are given a brief chronology of the noble ancestry of Muhammad (may God's peace and blessings be upon him), taken through his childhood to the eminent position he held as 'Al Amin' (the Trustworthy), in Meccan society before receiving Prophethood. He points out that the book was based on the earliest Islamic sources, and where there is a difference of opinion in those sources, the book takes the most widely accepted view; and that Lings simply accepts the early Islamic sources without discussing their value. He is best known as the author of a very popular and positively reviewed biography, Muhammad: His Life Based on the Earliest Sources, first published in 1983 and still in print. The author Martin Lings was a Muslim convert and Arabic speaker who spent formative years in Cairo and earned a Ph.

I wonder if the high rating of this book comes from Muslims reading this book and loving how "true" it must be. Despite the vastness of the subject, this biography makes an easy and absorbing reading for anyone interested in religion as such.The young Lings gained an introduction to travelling at a young age, spending significant time in the United States due to his father's employment. His contribution to Shakespeare scholarship was to point out the deeper esoteric meanings found in Shakespeare's plays, and the spirituality of Shakespeare himself. Kisah Nabi Muhammad SAW dari Martin lings ini paling enak dibaca diantara buku-buku sejenis lainnya. Reading through this book and learning more and more about Muhammad only made your original idea more firmer.
