Meeting Muhammad

About this book

In Meeting Muhammad, Imam Omar Suleiman invites the reader to imagine spending time in the company of the Prophet ﷺ. Instead of a chronological biography, the book is organised around what it would be like to meet him.

Chapters describe how he greeted people and made each person feel he was the most important person in the room, how he spoke and listened, how he prayed, ate and dressed, how he treated his wives, children and grandchildren, how he dealt with the poor, with strangers and even with those who wronged him. Each scene is drawn from authentic narrations.

The writing is warm and personal, aimed at helping readers not only know about the Prophet ﷺ but come to love him and imitate his character.
