Finally started Wisdom of Crowds, the final book in the Age of Madness series by Joe Abercrombie. The series is really good but I'm not sure yet how I'd rank it against his others.

The book begins by providing a historical context for Muhammad's life, discussing the Arabian Peninsula during the time of his birth and the political and social landscape of the region. It then delves into Muhammad's early life, his marriage to Khadija, and his experiences receiving the revelation of the Quran.
Throughout the book, Safi explores Muhammad's teachings and how they continue to impact the world today. He also examines the various interpretations of Muhammad's life and teachings, particularly in the context of contemporary Islamic scholarship and society.
One of the main themes of the book is the idea of Muhammad as a human being, rather than a distant or mythological figure. Safi emphasizes Muhammad's compassion, humility, and commitment to social justice, and argues that these qualities continue to be relevant and important for Muslims today.
