Muhammad: His Life Based on the Earliest Sources

Product Information

Padahal sebelumnya aku telah baca beberapa biografi tokoh sukses. Ah mungkin aku terlalu buta/sombong. Sehingga orang yang sikapnya telah dipuji oleh Allah aku tak tertarik untuk membaca, belajar, dan meneladaninya. In this context, Martin Lings has been extraordinary. He not only describes the Prophet as the way he was, but do so most elegantly. That feeling of being in awe of the person is completely missing, and all for good. He tells the stories and the incidences in such beautiful manner that you hardly feel it is being said about a prophet. Even the miracles performed by the Prophet has been written in such simplicity that those seems to be the normal thing! Sedangkan tokoh yang belum tentu dapat pujian dari Tuhan sudah aku baca. Alhamdulillah puasa ini, aku telah disadarkan oleh-Nya.

Muhammad as a human represents symbolically the perfection of this unity in all aspects of lived human experience.

Doctrinally, Muhammad becomes the symbolic Universal Human – the single universal exemplar of how to live the good life. My experience with books on Seerah in English is that, for all the benefit they provide and the importance they may have, they are sometimes hard to follow and cumbersome to read.It can be a delicate matter reviewing books that involve sacred texts and holy people. Let me be clear: this is a review of Muhammad the biography. It is not a review of Muhammad the Prophet. Lenggok bahasa yang digunakan sememangnya indah disulami dengan naratif yang 'hidup' membawa pembaca benar-benar menghayati kisah hidup baginda.

He (PBUH) is the most influential person who has ever walked on Earth and has the second largest number of followers throughout the world till date. This number is increasing continuously.

We're already working on the problem and we will solve it as soon as possible. One of the companions disapproved of Muslims bringing captives to the camp. Muhammad said he'd rather see them slaughtered than alive (p 149) Finally, a truce is arranged between the Muslims and the Quraysh. Muhammad and his followers are allowed into Mecca to perform a Lesser Pilgrimage. When the Quraysh break the agreement, Muhammad gathers his forces and conquers Mecca. His army also conquers a neighboring group as well. Muhammad receives revelations from God throughout this time and as his life draws to a close, he continues to impart this wisdom to his followers.

Raiding caravans. God makes exception for the sacred month and Muhammad takes fifth of the spoils. (p 135) For non-Muslims, it can also be extremely helpful. I understand that historical revisionism has its place in the academic realm. Nevertheless, it is also incumbent on educated people to expose themselves to religious traditions.
