About the author
M. Fethullah Gülen
301 books239 followersMuhammed Fethullah Gülen was a Turkish Muslim scholar, preacher, and leader of the Gülen movement who as of 2016 had millions of followers. Gülen was an influential neo-Ottomanist, Anatolian panethnicist, Islamic poet, writer, social critic, and activist–dissident developing a Nursian theological perspective that embraces democratic modernity. Gülen was a local state imam from 1959 to 1981 and he was a citizen of Turkey until his denaturalization by the Turkish government in 2017. Over the years, Gülen became a centrist political figure in Turkey prior to his being there as a fugitive. From 1999 until his death in 2024, Gülen lived in self-exile in the United States near Saylorsburg, Pennsylvania.
Gülen said his social criticisms are focused upon individuals' faith and morality and a lesser extent toward political ends, and self described as rejecting an Islamist political philosophy, advocating instead for full participation within professions, society, and political life by religious and secular individuals who profess high moral or ethical principles and who wholly support secular rule, within Muslim-majority countries and elsewhere. Gülen was described in the English-language media as an imam "who promoted a tolerant Islam which emphasises altruism, hard work, and education" and as "one of the world's most important Muslim figures".
In 2003, a number of Gülen movement participants allied with Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's right wing Justice and Development Party (AKP), providing the AKP political and sorely-needed administrative support. This political alliance worked together to weaken left-of-center Kemalist factions, but fractured in 2011. Turkish prosecutors accused Gülen of attempts to overthrow the government by allegedly directing politically motivated corruption investigations by Gülen-linked investigators then in the judiciary, who illegally wiretapped the executive office of the Turkish president, and Gülen's alleged instigations of the 2016 coup attempt. Gülen denied the accusations.
A Turkish criminal court issued an arrest warrant for Gülen in 2016, and Turkey demanded his extradition from the United States. U.S. government officials did not believe he was associated with any terrorist activity, and requested evidence to be provided by the Turkish government to substantiate the allegations in the warrant requesting extradition, frequently rejecting Turkish calls for his extradition.
Gülen was wanted as a terrorist leader in Turkey and Pakistan, as well as by the OIC and GCC.

I was first referred to Fethullah Gulen by Sh. Faraz Rabbani during a SunniPath seerah class after previously been completely clueless to his name. This is one of the best contemporary books that I have read on the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace). It is not a work of seerah, rather, it is more along the lines of the Shifa` of al-Qadi `Iyad, in describing the personality of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) and his functions, as opposed to giving a chronological view of his life.
Gulen gives a literary presentation of the topics discussed in the nubawwat section of any `aqida text and he clarifies a number of issues with a specific audience in mind. This book is a must read for new converts, as it addresses many mistaken notions and intentional lies/distortions that almost everyone is subject to. After discussing the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) and a wide array of subjects related to him and his public functions, he then gives a very well written, extremely accessible defense of the hadith corpus AND the necessity of following the Sunna for everyone who claims to love the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace).
I regret waiting so long to read this book, as the introduction includes a description of Fethullah Gulen's interfaith outreach and I have developed a great deal of skepticism towards such activities, as it typically involves placing Islam on the buffet table of religious ideologies, as someone once put it. Far from that, Gulen not only is someone with complete conviction in the Prophet's (Allah bless him and give him peace) mission, status and rank before God, but he also is clearly a lover of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) and the entire book is an attempt to instill this love in the minds and hearts of the reader. I also admit that it was rather refreshing to see an author unapologetically and lovingly mention the names of the heads of several Sufi orders in a work about the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace).
I believe it was Sh. Abd al-Hakim Murad who said that the Islamic revival will more than likely be lead by Turkish intellectuals and after reading this book, I can only hope such a prediction comes true. The modern Turks (who are not military secularists) do not seem to have the hang-ups that the modern Arabs have and had it been the former instead of the latter who currently enjoys a leadership role in the religious psyche of the ummah, I would imagine that things would be much different.
It is only because this book is better suited for people who have not had much reading/study in Islamic theology that I have not given it 5 stars. For people whom fit that category, it goes in my required reading list.

My heart is filled with remorse of my mountainous sins reading this book. Reading the story of the Prophet, the Companions, and the Tabi'uns, I can't help but compare my life and their lives, which is incomparable. It's ridiculous to even compare.
If you like to know more about Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessigs be upon him) and his Companions, this book is a must-read.

Ce livre est d’une richesse rare !
Pour tous ceux qui veulent découvrir qui est le prophète Mohammed sallallahu ‘alayhi wa salam, veulent augmenter leur amour pour lui, je vous conseille vivement de lire cette Sira.
La plume est très accessible, chaque hadith est cité et est facilement trouvable dans les sahih d’Al Boukhari ou Muslim, les différents chapitres sont cohérents et se suivent parfaitement.
J’ai vraiment vraiment aimé lire ce livre et j’espère qu’il me suivra tout au long de mon cheminement spirituel

Good Simple Sirah but formatting is horrible
The book gives striking examples to describe character aspects. Good to read for everyone but formatting is very poor. A book about a mass anger of Allah should have good formatting. For example. After loc 1119 page jumps to 1125 instead of 1120. It just skips couple pages. Author should take of the book and get it formatted by a book formatting professional and than publish it again. Poor formatting a book about a prophet is a disrespect to the prophet

This book handles all the aspects of Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) that is unseen or overlooked in other books and the narrative style makes you feel you live in that moment and witnessing the events.

Very easy to read and beautifully written. If you're looking to learn more about the prophet, may peace be upon him, and the way he lived his life - an easy read with volume and substance - this is your book!
