Acclaimed worldwide as the definitive biography of the Prophet Muhammad in the English language, Martin Lings’ Muhammad: His Life Based to the Earliest Sources is unlike any other. Based on Arabic sources of the eighth and ninth centuries, of which some important passages are translated here for the first time, it owes the freshness and directness of its approach to the words of men and women who heard Muhammad speak and witnessed the events of his life.

Martin Lings has an unusual gift for narrative. He has adopted an extremely readable style that reflects the story's simplicity and grandeur. The result is a book that will be enjoyed equally by those already familiar with Muhammad’s life and those coming to it for the first time.

Muhammad: His Life Based on the Earliest Sources was awarded by the government of Pakistan and selected as the best biography of the Prophet in English at the National Seerat Conference in Islamabad in 1983.
