1.0 out of 5 stars The Orientalist mind is truly corrupted and weird.
Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2016
An abysmal read. Watt writes this book from a strong Orientalist position. Watt is not much different in his approach from previous Orientalist and Western writers who have historically held extremely biased and factually incorrect views about the Prophet Muhammad (S) and his life. Watt, although less direct and more subtle than previous Orientalist writers delivers a book that is extremely flawed, consists of historically incorrect details and consists of extreme point-of-view statements by Watt instead of historically accepted facts and realities. The Orientalist mind is truly a weird and corrupted thing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive, accurate, objective
Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2005
Muhammed at Medina is a remarkable volume that covers the second part of the life of the prophet of Islam and the early days of his young nation after 622 CE, the year of Hijra when Muhammed left Mecca to Medina which also marks the first year of the Muslim calander. With much skill and ability to retrodict events and put them in their historical context, Watt offers this book as one of the most authentic works on the subject.

The volume is an academic work and might not appeal to all kinds of readers save for academics and those who are very interested in the subject. Watt employs the modern methodology in classifying, crediting and discrediting almost all of the primary sources of the time. Watt then objectively treats these sources and draws conclusions that a reader can rarely find in other places.

His gifted style helped a great deal in making a lengthy volume full of details entertaining for the reader and rather catchy. Those who are interested in reading about the whole story of Muhammed and his mission should also buy Watt's first volume, Mohammed at Mecca, which covers his pre Hijra years between his birth in 570 and his immigration to Medina in 622.

Too bad the book is out-of-print. Publishers should consider marketing a second edition since it would certainly deserve the attention and interest of many scholars and readers today.
