Falling In Love With Muhammad

by Rehana Shah-Bulbulia

Muhammad (SAW)'s life is covered in many books, but they tend to read as either as academic treatises or textbooks; while these appeal to those wishing to study the life of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) from an academic perspective, they don’t always capture the broader audience and are not usually an easy read.

This book on the life of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), with short, concise chapters, manages to give us a wonderful sense of the Muhammad (SAW) as a man of the people. Using contemporary phrases that are sure to resonate with a youthful audience, sister Rehana draws us into the life of Muhammad (SAW) in a most unique way. Each short chapter provides something of a ‘snapshot’ of different events in Muhammad (SAW)’s life. Falling in Love with Muhammad (SAW) straddles a delicate balance as it is not quite a novel and not quite an academic treatise.

A seerah book with some particularly touching stories. Lots of gems in this book. And I could hear Rehana Apa's voice when reading many parts of this book, may Allah bless her in abundance aameen.

The incredibly short and concise chapters help the reader to digest the content in each chapter.

Good book on Sirah. One criticism the front cover could have been made alot better. If I saw this book from a far distance in a shop/library, I wouldn't be intrigued to pick up the book due to the front cover not looking exciting enough. Oh well as they say "never judge a book by its cover".
