Product Information

It is our hope in sha Allah to one day revise these volumes into a new and expanded edition of Muhammadﷺ Encyclopædia of Seerah O Allaah, send prayers upon Muhammad (ﷺ) and upon the family of Muhammad (ﷺ) as You sent prayers upon the family of Ibraaheem (AS), and send blessings upon Muhammad (ﷺ) and upon the family of Muhammad (ﷺ), as You sent blessings upon the family of Ibraaheem (AS), You are indeed Worthy of Praise, Full of Glory.

Instead, we have references in later books of these earlier books. These books are not in existence because when later books were written, they absorbed the earlier treatise in them. However, we have books written in the very next generation. This shows us that Seerah was compiled even before Hadith because they wanted to emphasize Seerah more than anything else.Ye have indeed in the Apostle of Allah a beautiful pattern of (conduct) for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the Final Day and who engages much in the praise of Allah. (Al-Ahzab) I also feel like the footnotes were done very well and succinctly in explaining issues such as age of Ayesha, slavery and plagues (and its link to Covid). Whenever we lost any of our relatives or loved-ones, we are sure to have felt the pain of parting from them ant the anxiety of the farewell. The question now is this: Have we had any such feelings or sentiments when we contemplate the death of the Prophet (SAW) ?
