Abstract

  1. Guillaume's translation of Ibn Ishaq's Sirat Rasul Allah, titled "The Life of Muhammad," remains a key resource for English-speaking scholars of Islam. This article critically examines Guillaume's work, considering its strengths and limitations in light of its historical context, translation choices, and scholarly reception. While praised for its meticulousness and accessibility, the article also highlights challenges related to source selection, interpretive biases, and the evolution of Sira scholarship since its publication in 1955.
