سيرة النبي- Sirat-un-Nabi: A Life of the Prophet, Peace Be Upon Him (Set of 5 Volumes)

The Book is the English translation of 'Sirat-un-Nabi' originally written first Two Volumes in Urdu by the Late 'Allama Shibli Nu'mani' and the others volumes his students 'Syed Sulaiman Nadwi".
None can deny that the life- history of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessing of Allah be upon him) is an imperative need not only for the Muslims but for humanity at large. It is a necessity, not only religious or Islamic, but also literary, moral and cultural. In short, it is a necessity that meets our interests both in this world and in the Hereafter.
This valuable work on the life of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) hardly stands in need of any introduction. Allama Shibli has indeed earned great fame for this work. This biography was written in Urdu and a great need was being felt for rendering it into English. The translation is a very successful attempt. It is not only correct but couched in good English.

The Holy Qur'an and the life of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) are the eternal guide for man in so far his moral, spiritual, economic and social problems are concerned. Although there is a vast literature on the life of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) yet it was felt that there is no biography in the English language which presents the complete view of the life, personality and mission of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) who changed the course of history and inaugurated a new era in the life of mankind.
This book is the fifth volume of English translation of Sirat-un- Nabi originally written in Urdu by late 'Allama Shibli Nu'mani, a well- known historian who hardly stands in need of any introduction.
Although translation is in itself a difficult task yet Mr. Muhammad Saeed Siddiqi has done it most successfully in a simple, lucid literary style and even the general reader will find it easy to understand.
I am highly grateful to Mr. Tariq and Muhammad Asim Bilal who assisted me in preparing the manuscript for the press.
