Muhammad's story is more relevant than ever because it offers crucial insight into the true origins of an increasingly radicalized Islam. Countering those who dismiss Islam as fanatical and violent, Armstrong offers a clear, accessible, and balanced portrait of the central figure of one of the world's great religions. Review: Fantastic! - I've been studying Islam, and Muhammad for quite some time. Karen Armstrong portrays Muhammad as a real person, and gives a rather refreshing, and honest perspective on Muhammad. I've never loved this man so much in my life as I did while reading this book. She does a fantastic job at helping you understand the culture behind the Prophet, and the why's behind what happened in 600 AD. Armstrong has a vast understanding of Islam, as evidenced by her simple yet profound way of explaining things that have been lost in translation for far too long. She does an excellent job of making Muhammad an understandable person. She preserved much of the poetry of the Qur'an, while making it accessible to the Western reader. She understood who she was writing for when she wrote this book. You do NOT need to study arabic, the Qur'an, or any other books to be able to pick this book up, and grow to understand Muhammad more. This makes a great intro book, but it has enough unique substance that a someone who has been studying Islam heavily for a year will still find this insightful. If you are interested in Islam, or the life of Muhammad, don't pass this book by. Buy it, and grow to understand this unique culture that has become one of the global hotspots of today. Review: A remarkable read! - When I first picked up this book I did not think that such a small volume would do justice to the subject. I was pleasantly surprised at the breath of coverage provided. Karen Armstrong has succeeded in bringING Muhammad, the man to life in this very human picture that she has painted. When reading the book one gets a true perspective of how difficult his mission was and what an impossible feat he accomplished in uniting the diverse and warring factions that was Arabia in his day. When I started reading this book I had just finished reading a translation of the Koran and I got an interesting perspective on the timing and contextual significance of some of the important verses of the scripture. Ms. Armstrong has also brought out the details of the genuine efforts made by the prophet in his mission to achieve gender equality even though it was completely opposite to the prevailing ideas bout the role of women in society. Ms. Armstrong has succeeded in producing a short but excellent historical work and made it so remarkably easy to read. I really enjoyed it! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Amazon 売れ筋ランキング | 洋書 - 639,349位 ( 洋書の売れ筋ランキングを見る ) Islamic History - 416位 Historical Study & Teaching - 580位 Judaism (洋書) - 1,646位 | | おすすめ度 | 5つ星のうち4.6 709 レビュー | ## Images ![Muhammad: A Prophet for Our Time (Eminent Lives, 19) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71dkCDrQq8L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic! *by F***T on 2013年1月21日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み* I've been studying Islam, and Muhammad for quite some time.

Eine wunderbare Tribute an einen der einflussreichsten Persönlichkeiten der Weltgeschichte. Für Anfänger super verständlich aufgearbeitet. ## Frequently Bought Together - Muhammad: A Prophet for Our Time - A History of God: The 4,000-Year Quest of Judaism, Christianity and Islam - Islam: A Short History (Modern Library Chronicles) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/772491945-muhammad-a-prophet-for-our-time-eminent-lives-19](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/772491945-muhammad-a-prophet-for-our-time-eminent-lives-19) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-11-07*
