This is a classical sample of deceptive literature common in the last 50 years. The life of the Holy Prophet is protrayed in a way to palacate the uninformed in Islam that he is also a prophet apart from himself as known to the billions who follow his hadiths. The writer is a modern crusader and is merely potraying the Holy prophet to both the unsuspectingly non-believer and illiterate Muslims. The author himself strictly speaking is not a proponent of Haddith and belongs to a neo-colonial religious movement known as Qadiani which has since the gaining of independence by the Indian sub-continent has been exposed as a non-muslim movement. Inbetween the message, author is proposing a general shift by Muslims from their adherence to the Haddith of the Holy Prophet to the new social order advanced by the guy of Qadiani the Mirza Ghulam Ahmedi.

events from the life of the Holy Prophet are narrated in very simple and appealing format. Provides very useful information about the life of the Holy prophet (PBUH). It can be very helpful for parents and children to discuss and study together.

The author belongs to a sect of Islam called "Qadian", also called the Ahmadiyya movement. They are not considered to me Muslims, but followers of an ideology that is a corruption of Islam. If you want to learn about Islam as is practiced by more than a billion worldwide, stay away from this book!

Potential readers of this book should disregard the knee-jerk reactions of certain "reviewers" (hardly an appropriate term with which to dignify their writings) and think for themselves. It is first of all necessary to note that the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement, represented by the author of this title, differs fundamentally in its conception of Islam from the "Qadiani" organisation. As to the notion that either movement is not Muslim, it is sufficient to note the following reported statement of the Holy Prophet Muhammad: "Whoever calls people who recite the Islamic profession of faith 'Non-Muslim', such a person is himself/herself nearer to unbelief", and the Quranic verse: "Do not say to anyone who offers you the Islamic salutation, 'You are not a believer.' " And then again, we have the crackpot notion, wrapped up in rather questionable English, that the Islamic movement represented by the author was a front for 19th century British colonialism, rather than what it really was, namely a movement for Islamic revival in the face of merciless anti-Islamic propaganda from Christian missionaries and Arya-Samajists, not at all helped by the obscurantism, opportunism and superstitious mentality of the professional Muslim clerics of the time (and today!). Anyone who really cares for the truth could do a whole lot worse than start with this concise and wholly Islamic outline of the life and outstanding personality of the Last of the Prophets.
