Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.  (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Hello Mr. Burhan,

I do read up the answers of the questions made to u by many of our brothers. Even i have a question. I want to know more on the life of our Prophet (saws), about his childhood till his death.

Bye Regards

Answer:

Study on Prophet's (saws) life

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

There is not a leader or person in the annuls of human history about whom more has been written, than the Last Prophet of Allah, Mohamed ar-Rasool Allah (saws). There are literally thousands of books available on every aspect of the Prophet’s life, sayings, actions, and deeds. It would not be possible to write the complete biography of this noble Prophet (saws) in one article even if one wanted to!

The best way to learn about the life of the Prophet Mohamed (saws), is to read one of the many books written by many eminent scholars on the life of the Prophet Mohamed (saws). These books should be available at any Islamic bookstore, and there are also several such ‘seerah’ books available on ‘amazon.com’ on the internet.

You may start with ordering one titled

Muhammad (His life based on the earliest sources) by Author Martin Lings

ISBN 0-89281-170-6 which will give you the knowledge you require in a well written style.

If you need any help in locating the book, or have any questions; please do not hesitate to write to us.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
