The genius of Muhammad

May God bless him and grant him peace

Author's name: Abbas Mahmoud Al-Akkad

Arab history has celebrated the biography of Muhammad, devoting long volumes to it, which recount the events of the birth and upbringing of the Prophet. They have elaborated on the events of his life from birth to death with many details supported by chains of transmission and immersed in the details of events and their dates. When Al-Aqqad wrote this book, his goal was not to present a new presentation of the biography of Muhammad, but rather to highlight the features of the genius of the human Prophet, whom God chose with select circumstances that refined his character, and with unique human abilities that enabled him to carry the message. It also presents to us aspects of the life of the merciful preacher, kind to his people, and knowledgeable of what is best for them. He was the noble military leader and seasoned politician who was also able to skillfully manage the affairs of the nascent Islamic state. It also comes close to his human qualities, as he was a compassionate husband and a caring father, despite the enormity of the mission for which he was sent.
