Description :

Sultan of Hearts : Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, details the exemplary life of Prophet Muhammad, salla Allahu 'alayhi wa Sallam. This revised edition is not a simple chronological look into the life of the Beloved Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, but rather an exclusive look into his character, attributes, and qualities through the eyes of his Companions and Family most close to him.


Brimming with passion and emotion, 'Sultan of Hearts : Prophet Muhammad' transports the readers to the Arabian peninsula centuries ago, as if lifting the constraints of time and space, allows them to discover and explore with freedom the Age of Happiness.


The Sultan of Hearts details the exemplary life of the Beloved Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him.  The emphasis of the book is on the mission of the Beloved Prophet in society as an active member rather than an overemphasis on the short term military campaigns.
