This illustrated book is for anybody who is interested in finding out about the real face of Islam. This first volume of the illustrated book series is about the life of Muhammad the Islamic prophet, in Mecca before migrating to Medina and is based on Islamic literatures, such as Al-Qur'an, ahadith (collections of Muhammad's sayings and actions), and the earliest Siras (biography of Muhammad). This illustrated book will help people to understand Islam quickly, accurately, and without spending too much time reading the whole Islamic main literatures that are hard to understand. For instance, it is not possible to understand the Qur'an fully without tafsir (interpretation) and Asbab al-Nuzul (circumstances of the revelation) since it has no chronology and the subject matters keep changing with no warning. There are so many ahadith and Sira books that it takes a lot of time to read them all. This illustrated book relies on the earliest Siras, such as the writings of Ibn Ishaq/Ibn Hisham, Ibn Sa'd, Thabari, Waqidi and Halabiya. Please visit: prophetmuhammadillustrated.com

It's good for a general view, not sure about the accuracy though

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2019

It's an interesting and entertaining read. However, it seemed that the author was a bit biased which puts the authenticity of the described events at question. The ebook has portraits of the prophet, which you do not see every day, as it is forbidden in Islam.
The illustrations are enough detailed, the letters are too small, making this book hard to read on PC. I had to read it on my iphone & ipad in order to be able to zoom enough to read.
Will definitely read Volume 2 once it is out.

very interesting read

Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2014

I read this graphic novel on an iPad 1. I found it a bit easier to read than my 21-in iMac. That's because I could zoom in and vary the reading distance for my middle-aged presbyopic eyes.

The books that Sarh references in this book (the Quran, Hadith, and ibn Ishaq's The Life of Muhammad) would take a long time to read, much less master and understand it. What Abdullah ibn Abi Sarh has done is to do the most difficult part of a historical inquirer and produced an easy to read graphic novel that's an entertaining read for the average person. The book was well foot-noted so that the layperson wanting to verify what was said and done can check the sources Sarh used in this book: the Quran, Hadith, and ibn Ishaq's The Life of Muhammad.

Excellent chronology, poor picture

Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2011

This book is a very excellent one, portraying Mohammed, the founder of Islam. No political correctness in this book. If you want to know Islam quickly yet still quite accurately, read this book. Had it not been for a too dark background in the pictures, I will give this book a 5-star.

An Anti-Islamic Polemicist's Masterpiece

Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2012

Caveat Emptor: Most muslim's will find this work to be highly insulting to their faith and beliefs. I would not purchase this book with the expectation of an unbiased illustrated biography of the prophet (peace be upon him). This work is meant to be a apologists view of the history of islam up until the Hijra (migration). It casts the prophet in a very negative light, depicting him is a liar, a sadist, a criminal, an epileptic, a pedophile, a male gold-digger, sexually deviant, and possessed by the devil.

That being said, I would not recommend this book to someone who want's to genuinely learn about Islam. Reading this book to learn about islam would be akin to reading Richad Dawkin's "The God Delusion" to learn about theology. The book is not really a biography. It is essentially a series of highly selected chronological events from the birth of the prophet up until the migration from Mecca to Medina. The event's that the author chose to illustrate do have some basis in islamic history and literature. However, most of these events are not slam dunk historical events. Most are either highly disputed, or require further reading to understand the background. The biography is loaded with controversial (i.e The Kiling of Umm Qirfa), disproved (the moon god theory), or apocryphal accounts (i.e the Satanic Verses). The list goes on and on.... Most of these 'events' are footnotes in the true biography of the prophet (PBUH).

Bottom Line: Staunch Muslims will not enjoy this book. However, open minded muslims who can go beyond the negative depictions of the prophet (PBUH) will see this book as platform for further reading, which is essential to put the events into proper historical context. It is a short read. The illustrations are surprisingly well done (though, as a muslim, my gut reaction was to balk at many of the depictions of the prophet and his companions). Because of the heavily biased depiction of events, I would not recommend this book to non-muslims looking to learn more about the the fundamentals of Islam.

A burnable book: disgusting, demented, filthy

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2011

Verified Purchase

The content of the book is the most disgusting, demented, filthy I have ever witnessed--illustrations and text. Piece of crap. No other book has caused me to be on the verge of vomiting. I don't understand how anyone can recommend this book. I think people posting here must be shills. Not worth more than 50¢, including shipping. No title page; amateurish; looks self-published--some party out to make a buck while offering little of redeeming value. Hitler's writings are "a day in the park" compared to the content of this book. Instead, use the money to buy an authentic book on Islam. This book has the cooties. Ugh! I may go in the backyard and burn it.
