One of the best-known and most widely distributed general introductions to Islam by a Muslim author. A good text to start with if you want to know what Islam is all about. 3rd Edition.
Every Muslim feels the need to see the teachings of Islam put into practice. Since the life of Prophet Muhammad, in all its aspects, was the personification of the Qur'anic teachings, one has to read his biography to see Islam in action. Drawing on primary sources, Imam Vehbi Ismail presents a highly readable biography of the Prophet of Islam to the young American Muslims and adults who look for an authentic easy-to-read biography of the Last Prophet. The book is highly recommended for Middle and High School students and for inclusion in summer reading lists by schools and public libraries. What sets this book apart from the many on the market place is its extensive coverage, modern illustrated maps of events, carefully worded questions for each chapter (workbook), transliteration table and a comprehensive glossary of Arabic terms used which also makes it suitable for classroom use as a textbook.
A combination of a smooth style and rich content will make it undoubtedly a source of inspiration for young readers.
