![]() ![]() Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi (Haji Arfeen Academy) Translated by Mohiuddin Ahmad ![]() If one does not purchase and study the more detailed sīrah works, this is an absolutely necessary read.Ģ. ![]() Because it is a one-volume work and avoids any sort of interruptive academic discussions, it is easy to get through and equally enjoyable. With the exception of several factual errors and the use of some weak sources, this work remains the most recommended amongst traditional scholars and is unparalleled in its language and narrative description. Probably the most recognized and popular English work on the sīrah, Martin Lings’s narrative of the Prophet’s life (upon him blessings and peace) is now a classic. Muhammad: His Life Based on the Earliest Sources by Martin Lings (Inner Traditions International) ![]() In fact, I would suggest that a student choose only or two works from each sublist to read along with the in-class lectures.ġ. This list, therefore, is not meant to be exhaustive, nor is a student required to read through all of the works. I have, therefore, confined this list to English works and, then, to works that are the most useful for students of my Sirah courses (HST101: Prophetic Biography – The Makkan Era and HST102: Prophetic Biography – The Madinan Era). The list of available works on the Sīrah, or prophetic biography, is almost too long to mention. ![]()
