Detailed Description
I fully acknowledge that there are many books about the Prophet's life, written by tireless researchers and exceptional authors over the generations. These books have covered every aspect of the seerah, extracting lessons from it as well as Islamic rulings and many other benefits. It has been a centuries-long group effort, written in various languages for every type of audience.
I hold these works and their authors in great regard, and I ask Allah to grant them the highest honours, for they are my predecessors in this field. It is my humble dream to be admitted into their ranks, as one who stands behind his imams, following him in prayer. I have found that writing about the Prophet's life granted me great joy, and I hope to pass that on to my readers. Perhaps Allah will accept this deed from me and grant me the intercessions of His Prophet [Islamic phrases="Shallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam"]e[/Islamic], and allow me to meet my beloved leader, what a wonderful honour that would be.
This is the second publication of the abridged version. It includes some reversions of some minor issues that were pointed out to me by readers of the first print – many thanks to them and may Allah reward them. I ask Allah to grant us all beneficial knowledge and pious actions, for certainly He is the one to turn to and is capable of all things.
