This review is from: Al-Dai al-Fatimi, Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin: An Illustrated Biography (Hardcover)

This is a must-have book for all momineen. The text is beautifully written, very informative. The pictures are fantastic, including some very recent photos.
I congratulate the authors for this achievement and thank them for this effort. We need more books like this for an English speaking audience, especially when we are interacting with other communities in the Western world.
