### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mohammed, a must read.
*by J***Z on March 31, 2008*

It's been awhile since I read this book, but I must say that it is clear and concise, and informative. I think everyone should read this book, maybe George Bush should be sent a copy (does he read?)It's imperative to have understanding about the Story of Mohammed, after all, we know he existed, we have no proof that Christ did.It is simply amazing what Mohammed managed to do to create stability where there was the possibility for factions by the score to develop. Bad enough we must deal with two factions at this time, (and Karen explains where this originated) But we have Mohammed to thank for the fact there are 'only' two.It could be worse!I was glad to see, too, that Karen put the connection together in this book about the Ismael the first son of Abraham, (with the maid servant of Sarah) and Mohammed connection . I was sure there was a connection. It's in this book!Insight, and education, makes such a huge difference in our perspectives. Karen is a prolific writer who began this writing early in life for reasons explained in The Spiral Staircase. Another great book that helps us to understand the part the brain plays in spirituality. Go on to read, The Brain That Changes Itself. ( not an Armstrong book)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fair treatment of one of history's most important figures
*by K***A on November 30, 2001*

Karen Armstrong successfully captures the world in which Islam was born and the complexities of Muhammad, one of history's most important figures. She is particularly effective in showing how Muhammad's message, especially in the area of women's rights, was far more advanced than others of his time, including the attitudes of Christians and Jews of that era. Some of the reviewers are troubled because she is "sympathetic" toward Muhammad, which of course reflects their agenda. It is easier to hate others when you can vilify their heroes, harder when you take a moment to look at them with a fair eye. Muhammad saw himself as the last of the Biblical prophets, and indeed lived in a world the prophets would have been familiar with. Comparing his life to that of Biblical heroes such as Moses, Joshua, David and others is instructive. Muhammad exceeded the moral standards of not only his world, but that of these biblical figures. Had Muhammad been born a few centuries earlier, he would undoubtedly have been part of the canon of Jewish and Christian prophets, as his life and actions are parallel to Moses, Joshua, Elijah etc. That is why he is so disturbing for some Westerners -- we have been taught to vilify him, but the truth is in him we see ourselves.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helped my understanding of Islam and its major prophet greatly!
*by K***Z on August 6, 2021*

Karen Armstrongs book about the life of Muhammed - founder of Islam - is an impressive scholarly accomplishment to cover this prophet's life story in a format that is not only very enlightening for anybody searching a deeper look into the origin and early history of Islam and a culture Western civilization had plenty of struggles with but also manages to do this with remarkable respect and understanding. It sure helped me understand the roots of this last world religion and its true intention and impact - very worthwhile read!!!
