Within this work’s more than 200 A–Z entries, internationally recognized scholars summarize views of Muhammad from the earliest editors of the Qu’ran to contemporary Muslim theologians. This detailed resource explores the traditions, ceremonies, and beliefs of Islam as they have spread worldwide, and examines Muhammad’s role in other religious traditions as well as the secular world.

I have read this book 2-3 times.I just know this book by the cover.I did not know the name of the translator. I like the end 4th part which is about the character and conduct. It was my most reliable resource at one time.I took help from this book in my speeches and for inspiration. It has very powerful yet polite and moderate language. I know by heart the chapter about His(PBUH) kind treatment and regards about women.It supports the Quran that Holy Prophet peace and blessings of Allah be on him was sent as mercy for the whole mankind.
