The Life of Muhammad SAW English A. Guillaume

“The Life of Muhammad” by Alfred Guillaume is a foundational and academically essential English translation of Ibn Ishaq’s Sirat Rasul Allah, the earliest and most comprehensive biography of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) to survive. While Ibn Ishaq’s original work is lost, this version, preserved primarily through the recension of Ibn Hisham, provides an invaluable, detailed narrative covering the Prophet’s life from the pre-Islamic era through his death, including the earliest accounts of the Meccan period, the Hijra, and the major battles. Guillaume’s work is a critical historical and scholarly resource for researchers, historians, and students seeking direct access to the foundational source material of Islamic history and Prophetic biography (Sirah).
