SHAFAQNA– The book “Muhammad, Man of Allah” by Seyyed Hossein Nasr is published in 1982 by Muhammadi Trust.
This biography of the Prophet of Islam (PBUH) is unique in presenting, within a very brief compass, the most spiritually significant aspects of the life and mission of the Prophet (PBUH). While leaving out none of the great events that marked his life, this account has the great merit of highlighting the most profound meaning of these events.
Professor Nasr’s deep affinity with the inner aspects of the Prophetic mission shine through in this concise account. Outward historical events are thus presented as a backdrop against which the Islamic revelation was given concrete embodiment in the personality of the Prophet (PBUH). This book goes a long way in helping the reader to appreciate more fully why it is that the Prophet of Islam (PBUH) has indeed served as the ‘noble exemplar’, mentioned in the Quran.
