Abdal Bela has taken a total different angle about writing book on Seerut-e-Rasool (SAW). He has merged story telling with fact already available about over beloved Prophet (PBUH), I must say what an outcome. To me he has been able to capture the very "essence" of that era, you feel like you have been living those days.
By story telling please do not think that he added some thing from his side , He has put the very fact which you can find the books like "Seerut un Nabi" by Shibli Nomani or book "the sealed nectar" but the way he has presented these facts, the way he has described that era the very back ground from which PBUH came forth and performed his duties bestowed by Allah.
Since my child hood I read about Hazoor (PBUH) was under protection by his Uncle for most of his life as Prophet in Makkah. But what exactly this protection means in that Arab muashra became clear to me after reading this book.
Like any other effort by any human being it has many good points or high points but very few low points.
People who like history written merely as fact and figure this book is certainly not for them (but you never know) but for people who want to know or some what feel, what that era was? what was it meant to be "slave" in those days and how to deny their gods ? what were the sufferings of poor muslim and people.
I might be repeating myself here but this book is not only about fact and figures mentioned in a certain way but the writer has tried to re-create that era against our very own eyes and I believe he successfully done so.

When you pick a book on 'Seerat', most of the time it comes out to be 'another book on Seerat', because you know most of the events. What made this book different from others is the style and the way events are divulged by the writer.
The book dedicates around 200+ pages before the birth of the Prophet(SAW) to cover the details of Makkah, its inhabitants especially Quraish tribe. This helps understanding the society in which a new faith was to be revealed.
It covers all the major events in detail and helps develop understanding controversial topics including need to have Ghazwat(without being apologetic, which is a common trend by many authors who write on seerat to avoid criticism from west), age of Hazrat Ayesha (RA) at the time of marriage, Conversion of Hazrat Abu Talib (RA) to Islam, expulsion of jews from Madina, etc.
I have recently seen younger generation liking and discussing Lazley Hazelton's 'the First Muslim' frequently. However, this is more balanced than the fictionalized and at times biased version by Lazley. The book does provide answers to some questions raised by Lazley. In my opinion, before going to read books on Seerat by western writers, we should first study books like this, so that we can avoid developing suspicion created by such writers.
