Review
The book under review is an interesting pocket guide which contains a brief biography of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and aspects of Islam and Islamic civilisation with profuse coloured illustration, maps, photographs of mosques and historical buildings. It appears that the book is aimed at the younger generation of Muslims as well as non-Muslims who have little or no familiarity with Islam and its founder, the last Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). A selection of the testimonials or tributes paid to the Prophet (pbuh) by prominent non-Muslim scholars over the last three centuries, with their photographs, is given at the beginning of the book, not only for the comfort of the eyes of the readers but also for their mind.
