Best written, English-language biography of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)?
 

As-salamu alaykum.

Which written, English-language biography of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) do you all consider to be the best to give to a non-Muslim interested in learning about him and his life? JazakAllah Khayran for all of your help.

My personal choice would be "The Sealed Nectar" by Shaykh Safi al-Rahman Mubarakpuri.

For a non-Muslim, I'd say the one by Martin Lings, "Muhammad: His Life Based on the Earliest Sources", is best. I know there are some issues with the author's philosophy, as well as a few inaccuracies in the text, but overall I think it's the best read in English.

I second this, read this book before becoming my conversion. Very well written indeed.

Muhammed ur Rasulullah http://discussworldissues.com/forums...ilies/pbuh.gif By Hazrat Maulana Shaikh Abul Hasan Ali Hasani sahab Nadwi http://discussworldissues.com/forums...lies/rahma.gif.. reading this one feels as if he just met the beloved Nabi http://discussworldissues.com/forums...ilies/pbuh.gif

I concur..... perhaps recommend Shaykh Hamza Yusuf commentary of the book...

Yes... I can most posters here as well ...

Martin Lings, "Muhammad: His Life Based on the Earliest Sources" is the best biography on Prophet Muhammad written in English Language.

Yes Martin Lings book is great, I highly recommend it.

The Sealed Nectar & Muhammad: His Life Based on the Earliest Sources

sealed nectar is mostly about battles, maybe try shifa of qadi iyyad, better to instill love of the prophet
