The Life of Prophet Muhammad: Highlights and Lessons

by Mustafa as-Sibaaie, Nasiruddin al-Khattab (Translator)

It is very important for anyone who wants to spread the message of Islam to study the life of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and discover how he undertook the mission of da‘wah, or calling to Islam. This book is a blueprint for da‘wah. From studying his biography we learn the lessons of patience and perseverance in the face of adversity and opposition, and the readiness to sacrifice everything for the cause of Islam. In this book, Dr. as-Sibâ‘ie shows us how the Prophet’s approach was gentle yet determined and clear-cut, with no compromise on basic issues. The author takes the most important events of the Messenger’s life, summarizes them in order to offer a brief overview, then outlines the lessons that we learn from these events. This is an excellent introduction both to the principles of da‘wah and to the seerah, the study of the life of the Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him). It should be on the bookshelf of every Muslim who wants to call others to Allah.

Good book. Although, it doesn't include all the highlights that happened to our beloved Prophet. Nevertheless, the shortness of the book does, I would believe, will motivate anyone to finish reading it.

[Ibn-Khaldun · Rating 3 out of 5]

Highlighting the lessons makes the approach different, and sometimes this is one of the goals to study the biography of any person.
I do recommend the book if you want to have a quick overview of the main events took place at the time of the prophet.

Excellent book for self-reading in order to learn the author's point of view in understanding seerah.
Highly recommended especially for those who cannot read arabic perfectly.
