Special foreword by scholar Dr. Sherman Jackson

Description from the publisher:

In 2003, Dr. Meraj Mohiuddin began studying the life of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) so that he could better connect to the Qur'an. He was not satisfied with what was available in English, so after 15 years of study, he published the award-winning book Revelation: The Story of Muhammad (pbuh).

With over 80 figures, 350 glossary entries, and the unique "Qur'an Year Timeline," it is globally recognized as one of the best English resources to help readers connect to the Prophet (pbuh) and the Qur'an. Revelation has been endorsed by several leading scholars including Dr. Sherman Jackson, Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, Dr. Muzammil Siddiqi, Imam Zaid Shakir, and many others!

"Prophetic biography is one of the most important of our religion’s sciences, and this new addition to the increasingly rich and varied literature now available in the English language is both useful and accurate in its presentation and content. Drawing from several existing works of Sirah, this novel textbook format with copious images, maps, and diagrams will help visually-oriented readers to better grasp certain aspects of the Sirah. Prophetic biographies are especially valuable when taught to Muslims at an early age so they know better the mercy, wisdom, struggle and beauty of our Prophet, peace be upon him. This book should help to that end."

— Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, President & Co-Founder - Zaytuna College

Dr. Mohiuddin is also a teacher and writer who is specifically interested in examining how modern discoveries in human cognition and behavior may deepen our understanding of classical Islamic thought.
