Strategies of Prophet Muhammad
Muhammad’s (Peace Be Upon Him) life is a rewarding subject for any sophisticated, intelligent and curious mind because of the impact he has had on world history. Not only did he change the world-view of a society, he practically moulded a nation out of a disparate group of warring tribes such that today, after 1400 years, more than 1.6 billion Muslims now live all over the world and try to follow in his foot-steps in their daily routines. Many demographers calculate that Islam will become’s the world’s largest religion by 2050. This amazing growth trajectory owes a great deal to the strategies pursued by him.

About the author
Omar Khayyám
483 books1,280 followersArabic:عمر الخيام Persian:عمر خیام
Kurdish: عومەر خەییام
Omar Khayyám was a Persian polymath, mathematician, philosopher, astronomer, physician, and poet. He wrote treatises on mechanics, geography, and music. His significance as a philosopher and teacher, and his few remaining philosophical works, have not received the same attention as his scientific and poetic writings. Zamakhshari referred to him as “the philosopher of the world”. Many sources have testified that he taught for decades the philosophy of Ibn Sina in Nishapur where Khayyám was born buried and where his mausoleum remains today a masterpiece of Iranian architecture visited by many people every year.
Outside Iran and Persian speaking countries, Khayyám has had impact on literature and societies through translation and works of scholars. The greatest such impact among several others was in English-speaking countries; the English scholar Thomas Hyde (1636–1703) was the first non-Persian to study him. The most influential of all was Edward FitzGerald (1809–83), who made Khayyám the most famous poet of the East in the West through his celebrated translation and adaptations of Khayyám's rather small number of quatrains (rubaiyaas) in Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám.'

Best analysis of Prophet's life.
August 2, 2025
Firstly, it’s important to remember that this book is very important in its own right to be read and understood from the perspective of Muhammad SAW being a human. I learnt a lot and am happy Ive read it.
That being said, the spelling mistakes throughout and the constant repetition of many things mentioned in the book made it a really difficult read. In the end, I actually appreciated the repetition of many points because it helped me keep remembering the information and see it from a different light but there was a LOT of repetition.
Finally, I learnt a lot and have understood points i can apply in my own life. From how to manage my business to how to listen and what to understand when listening. There’s a lot i took from this book and Im grateful because of it. Alhamdulillah.

Book is written in the style of a paper where analysis is presented in light of different subject matters. Due to this many parts of the Prophets(s) life is repeated but done in context of the topic. Very very informative and goes in to specifics wherever possible. Very much enjoined it and probably will read again.

3.2 It was an amazing book in the sense that it had so many details. Furthermore, it had sections dedicated to each part of the Prophet's life, so if you weren't interested in one, you could skip it. The only thing was that it was quite long, but I believe that is because it is so detailed

Great book. Easy to read and gives a new perspective on the seerah by mentioning it from a strategic perspective.
4 stars because the book had lots of typos.

One of the few Modern Biographies of Prophet Muhammad that tell his life story in an earthly fashion, without any inclusion of miraculous or special, spiritualistic devotional treatment...
