"Translated into English for the first time, Rizwi Faizer makes available this key text to a new, English-speaking audience. It includes an "Introduction" authored jointly by Rizwi Faizer and Andrew Rippin and a carefully prepared index. The book deals with the events of the Prophet{u2019}s life from the time of his emigration from Mecca to his death, and is generally considered to be biographical. Bringing together events in the Prophet{u2019}s life with appropriate passages of Qur{u2019}an in a considered sequence, the author presents an interpretation of Islam that existed in his times. It includes citations from the Qur{u2019}an, as well as poetry that appears to have been inspired by activities during his life." -- Publisher.
