What proof
do we have that Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, was a true Prophet, a
bearer of a Divine Message? This is one of the most important things for every
Muslim to know, both for their own benefit and in order to help them to explain
Islam to non-Muslims.
Every sound book that has been written about the Prophet (pbuh) provides solid
evidence of his Prophethood, since they illustrate the life and character of a
perfect personality - a life which no liar, imposter, or ignoble man could
possibly have led. The author has consulted the authentic classical sources on
sira (biography) and Hadith (tradition), and quotes extensively from them and
from secondary literature including the writings of orientalist scholars. He
discusses at length the life of the Final Messenger, his miracles and the
methods of establishing the truth of his Prophetic stature.
