A brief summary yet a deep insight into the life of Prophet Muhammad, his simple way of life and teachings imbibed in the emphasis of peace and kindness.
A delight to read!

A book that both enlightens us on and humanizes the life, times and teachings of the Prophet, who was neither the man that his most conservative or radical followers claim him to be, nor the man that Islamophobes, rabid non-Muslim religious fundamentalists, or radical atheists condemn him to be.
