The Sirat or the Biography of the Prophet was incredibly insightful and thought provoking. You can see Hamidullah took the time to want to teach the reader some incredible traits and personality of an individual who ended up uniting an entire peninsula within 22 (Really 10) years. He captures the big events well and also the consequences of most of the actions of the Prophet that make you reflect on decisions made. This naturally allows the reader to compare the policy and state of the Prophet compared to today’s policies and states. However, the publishing company had done a poor job of printing and editing as there were tons of repetition and grammar issues that made me have to double back and reread things more than I should have. Also Hamidullah omits or glosses over some events that REQUIRES more thought and understanding (The events that happened with Banu Qurayza, battle of Khaibar are the two most prominent ones that come to mind). Overall a very good learning experience and insight on a major influential individual in history.
