About this audiobook

The man who inspired the world's fastest-growing religion

Muhammad presents a fascinating portrait of the founder of a religion that continues to change the course of world history. Muhammad’s story is more relevant than ever because it offers crucial insight into the true origins of an
increasingly radicalized Islam. Countering those who dismiss Islam as fanatical and violent, Armstrong offers a clear, accessible, and balanced portrait of the central figure of one of the world’s great religions.

Ratings and reviews

Very enlightening both as a biography of the Prophet Muhammad as well as a history of early Islam. Highly recommend
