We are thus prompted to issue this booklet containing three letters that were printed in the Saudi Gazette regarding the Seerah. This is so in spite of what we have come to know of both its author and the book itself. Martin Lings’ biography of the Messenger (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam ) has gained wide popularity over the recent period, and it continues to be sold and recommended unabated. I would highly recommend to read The Sealed Nectar instead of the biography by Martin Lings.Perennialist Poison in Martin Lings’ Biography of the Prophet There are many other accounts where writer clearly fell short of giving essential details, the Quraish boycott, preaching in Taif and Battle of Hunain is among some of them. The revelation of denouncing Zaid Bin Harsa from the name of Muhammad as his son to pave the way to marry his ex-wife. He married with the wife of Zaid Bin Harsa because he was impressed with the beauty of the wife this influenced Zaid to divorce her. The allegation that Badr War was resulted from the intention of Muhammad to rob the Quraish trade convoy led by Abu Sufyan - this is totally baseless. Age of Ayesha at the time of her marriage with Muhammad - which according to correct research was between 16-19 years. Following are some of the key areas where writer has been flawed: 1. I would not hesitate to say that it feels that the less has been put into research and more has been added by borrowing form different books. I read the The Sealed Nectar - the most authentic biography of Prophet Muhammad - and now after reading this biography I can only say that writer couldn't do justice with the so much profound personality and many missing key facts and inaccurate accounts of some the aspects of life of Prophet Muhammad.

But if you insist on listening to an account of the Prophet Muhammad's life, this is the book to read.Ī short biography with inaccurate accounts The abridged version does not do justice to the book - it leaves out too much. That is the true value of this book - composing the traditions about the Prophet Muhammad into a timeline, and helping give the reader a deep and connected context of what caused different events to occur. But Martin Lings is a very honest author, and he does little to inject his own opinion into the biography gathered from these sources. There are variations of the Prophet Muhammad's biography, depending on what sources are used. It is instead a beautifully composed account of the Prophet Muhammad based directly on some of the earliest sources to the Prophet Muhammad including Ibn Ishaq, Ibn Sa'd, Waqidi, Azraqi, Tabari, and Suhayli. This book is not a melodramatic or emotional account of the Prophet Muhammad.

Beautiful Account of the Life of Prophet Muhammad.
