Muhammad A Story Of The Last Propher (2000) - Plot & Excerpts
This book was a great introduction into a subject I knew nothing about. Now whenever I read something about Islam or Muhammad, I won't feel entirely ignorant. The story was easy to follow. As a historical fiction, it wasn't the best, but the author was able to keep my attention throughout. I especially appreciated the authors comments following the story to provide basic instruction on the similarities between the three AbrahmIc religions. I find this one a bit difficult to rate. It was well written, and despite the few little inaccuracies here and there, it stayed fairly faithful to the facts we know about the life of our Prophet Muhammad PBUH. On the other hand, as a Muslim myself, this kind of a book that sort of fictionalizes ( i.e. puts words and gives feelings to the people, whom we respect greatly, that they might have NOT felt or said, hence possibly altering our views on them) the stories I believe in as facts makes me a bit uneasy.I would recommend reading this along with at least one or two other books that tell the stories of Islam and its Prophet. That way the picture you'll get will be more complete.

Not quite what I expected and a tad hard to follow at times. Don't really recommend
