<span id="freeTextreview_rating43550498" style="display:none" class="reviewText">I really liked this book, and the idea of introducing all this info about the life in Iran through a comic book is amazing!<br/>It also aroused lots of questions in my mind about how Persians see the Arabs; how they see what is called in Egypt for example (which isn’t originally an Arab country) an Islamic fath (opening) and a blessing, as an invasion. I’m also now more curious to know about the average Iranians, especially that the only two books I read by Iranians about their lives in Iran introduced only two types of Iranians: religious fanatics (like the ones enforcing the laws) and liberals who don’t practise Islam; both are extremes in my opinion.<br/>So curious to know about moderate examples.<br/><a href="#" onclick="Element.hide('freeTextreview_rating43550498'); Element.show('freeTextContainerreview_rating43550498'); return false;">(less)</a></span>

It basically gives an account of the major events that took place in the life of the Holy Prophet(SAW). No lengthy commentaries are given, just the bare facts, which helps the reader to analyse things for themselves. The only thing that I did not appreciate in regards with this book was that it was a little to brief and focused a little too much on the battles. I know that they are important, however, I like more to read about the small incidents that show his good character and give an insight into his personality. This book does lack those little moments, which have become so dear to the muslims in general. <br/> <a href="#" onclick="Element.hide('freeTextreview_rating63958448'); Element.show('freeTextContainerreview_rating63958448'); return false;">(less)</a></span>
