The Sira of the Prophet

An original and contemporary analysis - Author: Yasir QADHI

A written adaptation of Dr. Yasir Qadhi's famous series of lectures on the Sira of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), this refreshing work offers an in-depth study of the life of the last of the Messengers and harmoniously combines the chronological narrative, the explanation of the context and contemporary analysis. Accessible and well referenced, this modern Sîra multiplies the reflections on the actions of the Prophet (pbuh) their relevance in our lives and the lessons that we can draw from them, while shedding new light on the Qur'ân and its revelation.

We often forget that, like the Qur'ân, the life of the Prophet (pbuh) was a miracle in its own right: in the space of twenty-three years, the Message of an illiterate man in fact overwhelmed the hearts of all Arabia and prepared his disciples to spread it throughout the world – to the point that, some fourteen centuries later, his teachings spread to all continents. It is therefore the duty of every Muslim to know his biography and his personality in order to honor him and to come closer, to the extent of our abilities, to his example.
