Product Information

Yea, that indeed I do,” said ‘Uthman, for he had heard him speak again and again of the merits of fasting and of night prayer. In 1990, after the book had attracted the attention of Azhar University, Lings received a decoration from Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak. A distinctive element of the biography is the vivid, approachable narrative style, [5] which is fast moving and flows fluently. This book will be read with equal enjoyment by those already familiar with Muhammad's life and those coming to it for the first time. The Greatest Secret, the long-awaited major work by Rhonda Byrne, lays out the next quantum leap in a journey that will take the listener beyond the material world and into the spiritual realm, where all possibilities exist.

Martin Ling overlooks this fact and instead presents you with plenty of fanciful stories regarding Muhammad during his early years.There is a freshness, clarity and gripping suspense throughout the book… As a text in the how and the why and the when of various revelations—both Koranic and Prophetic traditions—it is enlightening and authoritative… Our author’s familiarity with all the complicated inter-family links of tribal Arabia gives us the certainty that he knows his material thoroughly… This work should be translated into Arabic so that the whole Arab world may drink from it. Despite having settled comfortably in Egypt, Lings was forced to leave in 1952 after anti-British disturbances. The biography has gone through many reprints in English and it has been translated and published into many languages [4] including French, Italian, Spanish, Turkish, Dutch, Malay and Tamil. His friendship and similar beliefs with philosophers Rene Guenon and Frithjof Schuon inspired Lings to convert to Islam. H]e did us injury and wrote poetry against us; and none of you shall do this but he shall be put to the sword — Muhammad, in reply to complains about Ashraf's murder.
