The Life of the Prophet Muḥammad: Volume I (Great Books of Islamic Civilization)

This is definetely a book to read and have it in any persons library who is interested in Religion. Obviously it is all about Prophet Mohammed (PBH). As is standard of the time, all the narratives starts with list of narrations. For some one who is not familiar with who those individuals are, names are very distracting, but they can not be eliminated either for they are reliable for some and unreliable for others. Major highlights are taken from Ibn Ishak or ibn Hashim, so it is difficult to find what new thing you learn from this book if you eliminate late narratives. For me it is a tremendeous gift from translators that made this book available to me in English. Ibn Kathir certainly one of the great scholars in Islam.

Everthing I expected and more cant wait to get the life of the Prophet two three and four must have!
