A prominent bookish and theorist in the leadership evolution community, John Adair'southward insightful and informative work challenges the common misconceptions many Westerners hold regarding the leader of the second largest organized religion in the globe.

More than just a historical account exemplifying Muhammad (ص)'southward leadership prowess, this volume functions as an instructive guide for both the lay reader and the aspiring leader. Each affiliate recounts aspects of Muhammad (ص)'south life—his boyhood, adulthood and prophethood—providing a simplified however well-rounded picture of his earthly life and the training of his mission. His leadership qualities are compared to that of other prominent historical figures. Each chapter is concluded with a "central points" section, recapping the qualities a skilful leader should possess.

The volume did go a fleck repetitive at times and though the tangents near figures from other faiths/traditions were insightful, I would've liked more detail solely on the Messenger (ص). That beingness said, it is still very much an uplifting read and supplements other seerah books quite well as it provides an astute focus on a significant aspect of the Messenger (ص)'due south prophetic disposition. A great read for all regardless of creed and simple enough (imo) for teens.

Be mindful that the writer does posit personal thoughts/reflections regarding certain aspects of the Messenger (ص)'s life. It'southward interesting to observe the high esteem with which some not-Muslims hold the Messenger (ص), despite defective the depth and reverence Muslims hold.

4/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As a Muslim, I grew upwards being taught of the perfection of this corking man. And e'er, all the accounts of him, being narrated by Muslims, are naturally very empathetic of him.

However, the author of this book, totally lacked that dear of the man. Merely it's not a bad thing. In fact, it was a refreshing perspective. A perspective that was devoid of love for the Prophet but at the same time, managed to paint the man as THE model of a leader. It but added evidence of the greatness of the prophet.

I bought this book with a lot of excitement but I was disappointed in the beginning, while reading the start 2-iii chapters I felt that the author kind of deviated in describing too much nigh other topics which were not related to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and in some chapters he barely mentioned annihilation about Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). At the end of every chapter he added some bullet points as 'key points' but I retrieve those were just some quick recaps without any item analysis.

At the finish of every chapter he added some bullet points as 'central points' but I think those were but some quick recaps without whatsoever particular analysis. We could run into from the mid of the volume he did actually start to write more about the Prophet (PBUH) merely those were just incidents from his life just lacked whatsoever sort of detailed leadership analysis. At the last few chapters the writer kind of accelerated its writing pace and were just going over things.

Overall in my opinion I would strongly suggest anyone to read a full biography of Muhammad (PBUH) prior to reading this book (the author does provide a short Biography at the terminate of the book simply that wasn't enough). Secondly, this volume is a adept read every bit it does highlight a lot of incidents during the Meccan and Medina era and too gives an idea about the bedouin life of the arabs, just it may not be worth purchasing it in order to empathise the leadership of the Prophet(PBUH).

I would rate this book with two stars.

Its a good feel to learn about the Prophet Muhammad (SAW)'southward life from the pen of someone who tries to objectively analyze his leadership qualities without having a religious attachment to him. I liked the volume overall, but found it very primitive, without an intellectual touch..
