This is a short and concise summary of Our Beloved Prophet Muhammad SAW's life. It is a pocket size book consists of 40 pages which you can finish in just one sitting. This book highlighted the major life event occured in Prophet Muhammad SAW's life from the birthtime until he took his last breath.

There are 6 chapters which touches his great influence nowadays, his early life in Makkah, his life both in Makkah and Madinah, the attacks by the Makkans and lastly, how Prophet Muhammad SAW actually build the society.

Some of the new knowledge Ive gained from the book:

🌌 Prophet Muhammad SAW was a direct descendant of the Prophet Abraham through Prophet Ishmael.

🌌 Banū Hāshim from the tribe of Qurasyh is financially poor but politically strong and noble & Our Beloved Prophet Muhammad SAW belonged to this tribe.

🌌 The Makkans actually hatched a conspiracy to gather the strongest and well connected young man from each clan to kill Our Beloved Prophet Muhammad SAW, so that his blood will be on all the clans hand. This will put the pressure on his tribe to not do anything except for accepting the money compensation if he was killed.

This is a perfect book in kicking your interest of reading Seerah book and get to know Our Beloved Prophet Muhammad SAW for better in shaa Allah. How can you love him if you dont know him, right? 🥰 May we become the people who gathered along with Our Prophet SAW in Jannah in shaa Allah.

May Allah reward all those involved in the making of this short, informative piece on the Prophet (SAW). This was a concise summary of the major life events in the Prophet's life and perfect for all audiences, both Muslim and non-Muslim. I'm looking forward to reading more translated works by the late Khurram Murad and learn more about the character of the last Prophet (saw).
