I think it is by far the best sirah in the English language. Martin Lings was a Shakespearean scholar and it shows. Many of the inaccuracies were pointed out in a preface for one of the European language translations (I forget which) by Shaykh G. F. Haddad: http://www.scribd.com/doc/52879411/C...ings-GF-Haddad

I think it is a bit harsh sometimes, but it does a good job in pointing out a few occurrences in the book where unfortunate wording was used. I plan to listen to Shaykh Hamza's audio series soon, insha Allah.

Overall, however, I very much recommend this book.
