Muhammad



Prophet of Our Time

Muhammad may have lived over 1400 years ago but the message that he brought upon his people changed the course of human history forever. Today Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world, a far cry from its obscure origins in the undergrounds of Mecca.

Plenty has been written about Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam. But most of these accounts are either laced in deliberate puffery or shrouded in vile contempt. Few sources could tell the life of Muhammad from a neutral, unbiased point of view.

Karen Armstrong, best selling author of A History of God, has successfully drilled beneath this layers and present to you the true origins of a religion that has often been painted in abhorred tones. Prophet of Our Time is exhaustively researched to present all sides of the men most Muslims have grown to assume they knew. Plenty could be gathered from his frustrations, his sadness and his moments of joy, as opposed to just listening to his romanticised tales of valour and miracles.
