A great read for those who want to expand their knowledge on the life of Muhammad. A very well written, concise and account of event which occured during Muhammad's lifetime and his legacy.

A great book overall. ...

A great and interesting read! It would be good to read this Biography along side some hadiths that reflect how Muhammad (pbuh) reacted with certain things etc. Even then, this is a great biography, written like a proper story and keeps it authentic, which is a great thing!

Reads wonderfully as a narrative, while still retaining the authenticity and properness of a historical chronicle.

Overall, Muhammad by Martin Lings is a great read -- very informative, insipirational and insightful....

Martin Ling's 'Muhammad: His Life Based on the Earliest Sources' is definitely a bad start for non Muslims who are interested in prophet Mohammad as it doesn't say much about his teaching, his everyday sacrificial lifestyle and his attitude towards every living being.

I think that it's better to start by knowing his teachings first as well as how he set example for others by doing it first thus letting events described here unveil their significance in that light.

It should be read along side...
