This is a good representation of the biography of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Martin Lings did an amazing job and Audible have done a great job presenting this in audio format. The narration by Sean Barrett has a classical almost epic vibe which fits the content beautifully. Only disappointing thing is it's not the unabridged version and doesn't include everything in the book!

Kudos Audible!

Loved the detail portrayal of the life of the most influential man to ever walk the earth. A must read for anyone who wants to learn about the character and life of the prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

Excellent compilation of the life of the Prophet pbuh. Very insightful. Listened to it at 1.2x as it’s a bit slow.

Amazing seerah

Sometimes light on detail, but that is understandable in any single volume version of the Sirah, whether Ling's version or the Sealed Nectar.

I listen to this audiobook of Ling's version every Ramadan when commuting since it is such a beautiful effort to summarise the life of our Beloved, peace be upon him.

A beautiful summary of the Sirah

I loved this book and every piece of it. It was well narrated, well written!

I definitely recommend it!
And myself will get the hard copy!


Thank you Martin Ling (and Sean Barrett)

Everyone should take the time to hear this. I will most likely need to repeat the audio more than once.
