In 1696 renowned English scholar and orientalist Humphrey Prideaux published his insightful account of the life of Mohammed, which he called 'The True Nature of Imposture Fully Display'd in the Life of Mahomet.' Time and study have proven Prideaux's work to be the most concise introduction yet to the life of Mahomet and an understanding of his career. Prideaux's work is presented here in its original, with a paraphrase in modern English. An introduction and afterword by the current author, bin Sulayman, make this the single most comprehensive and incisive guide to Islam and its founder that the curious could hope to find. Other longer, classic texts on Islam (Muir, Hisham, etc) only validate and ratify its facts but are not nearly so clear in their conclusions. This definitive account is essential to truly understand Islam, and to confront it head on.
