I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this, so much so that I had to buy the actual book too (which contains a few extra details)! I would highly recommend both!

Masterpiece

An excellent book. Very well performed. A must for anyone who would like to learn and Prophet Mohammed SWS.

Very enjoyable, did not want it to finish.

Only criticism would be that the chapters were not individually represented.

However, still gave it 5/5
