Review
Many biographies of the Prophet Muhammad (peace upon him) have appeared in recent years. None, however, display the scholarly depth, methodological precision and factual clarity of Meraj Mohiuddin s Revelation: The Story of Muhammad (Peace and blessings be upon him). Relying on ancient and modern sources, graphs, charts, marginal notes and a moving narration, Mohiuddin rigorously chronicles the life of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) in a uniquely engaging and informative manner. IMAM ZAID SHAKIR --Zaytuna College
Revelation: The Story of Muhammad (Peace and blessings be upon him) is the first biography of the Prophet that I ve read that brings it all together there is something in it for everyone; as an instructor, I use it for teaching, and as a student, I use it for study. It is the most important work on the Prophet s life I ve come across in the English language. I m proud to announce that it is the official biography of the Prophet used by the Ella Collins Institute for training future faith providers in the USA. IMAM SUHAIB WEBB --Ella Collin Institute
Whether for a scholar of the Prophet s life or a reader looking into it for the first time, this book is a resource of unprecedented richness and easy access. The work that went into it is tremendous, and the result is stunning in its quality, accuracy and clarity. JONATHAN BROWN --Georgetown University
