A complete authoritative book on the life of Prophet Muhammad (S) by Sheikh Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarkpuri. The Sealed Nector was honored by the World Muslim League as first prize winner book. Whoever wants to know the whole lifestyle of the Prophet in detail must read this book.
Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him, are severe against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves. You see them bowing and falling down prostrate (in prayer), seeking bounty from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure. The mark of them (i.e. of their Faith) is on their faces (foreheads) from the traces of prostration (during prayers). This is their description in the Taurah (Torah). But their description in the Injeel (Gospel) is like a (sown) seed which sends forth its shoot, then makes it strong, and becomes thick and it stands straight on its stem, delighting the sowers, that He may enrage the disbelievers with them. Allah has promised those among them who believe and do righteous good deeds, forgiveness and a mighty reward (Paradise). (Al-Fath: 29)
The Prophet Muhammad (S) said: `The example of guidance and knowledge with which Allah has sent me is like abundant rain falling on the earth. Some of which was fertile soil that absorbed rain-water and brought forth vegetation and grass in abundance. (And) another portion of it was hard and held the rain-water and Allah benefited the people with it and they utilized it for drinking (making their animals drink from it) and to irrigate the land for cultivation. (And) a portion of it was barren which could neither hold the water nor bring forth vegetation (then that land gave no benefits). The first is the example of the person who comprehends Allah`s Religion (Islam) and gets the benefit (from the knowledge) which Allah (Azawajal) has revealed through me (the Prophet) and learns and then teaches it to others. The (last example is that of a) person who does not care for it and does not take Allah`s Guidance revealed through me (he is like that barren land).` (Al-Mukarramah)

It helped me in learning the nature of the Arab tribes during the birth of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) along with their precise location. It still amazes me how these people used to travel all those distances on foot, especially through the dust storms. I have the dust allergy, so the mere idea of a dust storm gives me the shudders.
I learned about the rule and government of the Arabs in Yemen, Heera, Syria, and Hijaz. The book also sheds light on the political, social and religious situations of the Arabs at the time of the birth of the noble Messenger (PBUH). I knew so much about the lineage tree of our beloved Prophet (PBUH) and his life before he became the messenger of Allah SWT. You see, there were so many experiences in his life that actually shaped him for the mission Allah has set for him.
This book also details about the events that happened after the declaration of prophethood by Muhammad (PBUH) and the hardships all Muslims had to face in Makah. Learning about the migration to Medina and all the battles that were fought there along with the last pilgrimage was also a very interesting experience. This book truly reforms you inside out if you read it with your heart open. I will gift it to my friends, inshaAllah.
