Description :


Nur al-'Uyun fi talkhis Sirat al-Amin al-Ma'mum Sayyiduna Muhammad, ﷺ, Great historical personalities are inevitably popular subjects for biography and a cursory glance at a list of the biographies composed about the Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, will confirm him, by universal consensus, as the greatest personality of all time. He is - by any standard - the most perfect example of mankind in every aspect : the Trustworthy Messenger to whom Allah entrusted His final Revelation and the model Muslims are commanded to follow and obey.



While other biographical literature varies widely in terms of authorship, authenticity, length, breadth of detail and historical, cultural and religious perspective, this work attempts to assimilate the most beneficial aspects of all these features. At once concise and comprehensive, it relies heavily on rigorously authenticated (sahih) and fully referenced sources, and is brimming with knowledge that 'delights the soul and adorns the pages'.






Imam Abu'l Fath Muhammad ibn Muhammad, better known as Ibn Sayyid an-Nas (671 - 734 / 1273 - 1334) was a renowned Egyptian hadith expert and man of letters. He  devoted his life to the earnest pursuit of sacred knowledge, excelling in many disciplines associated with hadith literature and the Arabic language. Imam Dhahabi said of him :



He authored numerous books, the most famous of which is 'Uyun al-Athar fi Funun al-Maghazi wa'sh-Shamail, a comprehensive work of biography (sirah) on the Prophet Muhammad, ﷺ, of which this book is a concise edited version.


He passed away unexpectedly on Saturday 11th Sha'ban 734_H / 1334_CE. A large crowd attended his funeral and he was buried in Qurafah, next to Hafiz ibn Abi Jamarah, may Allah Most High have nercy on them both.
