"A complete authoritative book on the life of Prophet Muhammad (S) by Sheikh Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarkpuri. It was honored by the World Muslim League as first prize winner book. Whoever wants to know the whole life style of the Prophet in detail must read this book.
Muhammad (S) is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him, are severe against the disbelievers, and merciful among themselves. You see them bowing and falling down prostrate (in prayer), seeking bounty from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure. The mark of them (i.e. of their Faith) is on their faces (fore heads) from the traces of prostration (during prayers). This is their description in the Taurah (Torah). But their description in the Injeel (Gospel) is like a (sown) seed which sends forth its shoot, then makes it strong, and becomes thick and it stands straight on its stem, delighting the sowers, that He may enrage the disbelievers with them. Allah has promised those among them who believe and do righteous good deeds, forgiveness and a mighty reward (Paradise). (Al-Fath: 29)
The Prophet Muhammad (S) said: ""The example of guidance and knowledge with which Allah has sent me is like abundant rain falling on the earth. Some of which was fertile soil that absorbed rain-water and brought forth vegetation and grass in abundance. (And) another portion of it was hard and held the rain-water and Allah benefited the people with it and they utilized it for drinking, (making their animals drink from it) and to irrigate the land for cultivation. (And) a portion of it was barren which could neither hold the water nor bring forth vegetation (then that land gave no benefits). The first is the example of the person who comprehends Allah's Religion (Islam) and gets benefit (from the knowledge) which Allah (Azawajal) has revealed through me (the Prophet) and learns and then teaches it to others. The (last example is that of a) person who does not care for it and does not take Allah's Guidance revealed through me (he is like that barren land)."" (Al-Mukarramah)"

Allah has commanded us to worship and obey Him with sincerity, reverence, love, and gratitude. He says in the Qur’an: “And they are ordered only to serve Allah, keeping religion pure for Him, to remain upright, and to establish worship and to pay the poor due. That is true religion” (98:5). This worship is not possible without knowledge. This short work outlines the absolute essentials of this knowledge. It is based on the methodology of traditional Sunni Islam, according to the Shafi’i school of Islamic law, and its purpose is to make one’s worship valid, sound, and proper in a short amount of time.

The amazing story of The Seerah by Asim Khan covers the life of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and the history of Islam, written in an easy-to-read format for teenagers and young adults. This book tells the story of Islam from the beginning, how an entire city tried to kill one man simply because he spoke the truth about God, calling for justice and the fair treatment of women and the poor. It is a tale of searching for truth, forming meaningful bonds beyond status or personal interest, and overcoming obstacles for the sake of the Almighty.
Having dedicated much of his life to explaining the deeper meanings of the Quran to non-Arabic speakers, Ustadh Asim Khan has now taken on the challenge of relating the life of the Prophet Muhammad in true storytelling fashion. This style of the Seerah is yet to be experienced in the English language and promises to transport the reader back to the time of the Prophet and his Companions.
The beautiful thing about the life of Muhammad (PBUH) is that its filled with many lessons that we can apply to our own lives today. As you read through this book, youll reflect on your own life and how you can improve it and improve yourself.

After struggling through the challenges of Prophethood in part one, and narrowly surviving an assassination attempt by the Quraysh, the Prophet is left with no choice but to leave his hometown; the place he was born, raised, and loved. Together with his best friend Abu Bakr, he migrates northwards in search of a new home. Now begins a new chapter in Prophet Muhammad's life: building a new community. A community based on the principles of fairness, justice, kindness, and worshiping the One true God alone. Though warmly received by many in the city, there are pockets of people who don't want him there and will try to undermine him at every step. And then there remains the issue of the Quraysh who only have one thing on their mind: revenge. For the best reading experience, we recommend reading Part One of The Simple Seerah before starting this book.

Most Islamic biographies deal with Muhammad's use of warfare by using an understandable but insufficient logic: that the Messenger of Allah was the ideal and paradigmatic human, so he must have been an ideal and paradigmatic military commander. Wanting Muhammad's behavior to conform to very modern ethical concepts and widespread (but not necessarily accurate) beliefs about the nature and conduct of war, the writers have created a narrative which, in significant ways, departs from the account clearly and consistently revealed in the earliest extant Arabic sources. Professor Joel Hayward sees this as an unhelpful explanatory tendency and believes that the modern depiction of the Prophet's relationship with warfare — which presents him as being rather antipathetic to war, indeed as virtually a pacifist who only fought reluctantly in self-defense — cannot actually be sustained by a thorough and even-handed analysis of the early Islamic sources. A committed Muslim himself, Hayward concludes that, within a competitive and conflictual environment with ubiquitous threats, warfare was necessary to make real the bold new world that Muhammad foresaw. Through original, meticulously researched and rigorous analysis, Hayward covers all the raids and campaigns and demonstrates that Muhammad correctly understood the necessity and utility of force and duly developed into an intuitive, effective and victorious military practitioner who developed and enforced a strict moral code so as to attain his goals whilst safeguarding the innocent. This engaging, accessible yet deeply scholarly and definitive book makes a major contribution to strategic and military analysis and to the Prophet's biography.

Towards a True Spiritual Connection: Wisdom from the Teachings of Habib ‘Umar
Author: Muhammad bin ‘Abdullah bin ‘Ali al-Aydarus
Translator: Abdullah Salih
Binding: Paperback
95 pages
ISBN: 9781952306679
Publisher: Imam Ghazali Publishing
This text is a concise discussion of matters affecting the relationship between a student and a spiritual teacher. Adapted from the teachings of Habib 'Umar bin Hafiz, it covers both conceptual and practical knowledge necessary to benefit from such a relationship, with extended discussion of both outward and inward etiquettes of the student towards the teacher.
The author writes in his introduction:
"I hope [this text] would enable us to recognise the right of being in the company of those whose condition inspires us and whose words guide us towards Allah ﷻ so that we too could hold on to divine attributes, be imbued with prophetic characteristics, and imbibe the qualities of the true servants."
Excerpts from the Qur'an are interspersed throughout the text, with extended commentary on those verses most relevant to the relationship between teachers and students. The text also includes an overview of the history of spiritual teachers from the time of the Prophet ﷺ down to the present day, the role of such relationships in da'wah, the responsibilities and potential pitfalls of establishing such a connection, and other related issues.
About Habib 'Umar bin Hafiz
Habib 'Umar bin Hafiz is a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, tracing his lineage back through a well-known family in the Hadhramaut region of Yemen, where his ancestors have been influential scholars and spiritual guides for centuries. He was born in 1963 in Tarim, a historic center of Islamic learning, and faced persecution during the communist regime in South Yemen, but continued his religious studies in secret. After the regime fell, he founded Dar al-Mustafa in 1993, which has since become a major center for Islamic scholarship, attracting students from all over the world. Habib ‘Umar is recognized for his deep spiritual insight and dedication to spreading Islam’s message through teaching, outreach, and community service. His influence extends globally through his lectures, writings, and extensive travel, promoting the values of mercy, humility, and unity.
