Prophet Muhammad's (s) biography, or seerah, is a profoundly inspiring story, and there is none like it in history. Many historians and philosophers, including Michael Hart, consider Prophet Muhammad (s) the most important personality throughout the human experience. In his book The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History (1978), Micheal Hart contended, "My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular levels. Of humble origins, Muhammad founded and promulgated one of the world's great religions, and became an immensely effective political leader. Today, thirteen centuries after his death, his influence is still powerful and pervasive."We begin learning the seerah by reading about Prophet Muhammad (s) in the Qur'an. Then we turn to the most trusted hadeeth in Saheeh Bukhari, Saheeh Muslim, and other compilations of authentic hadeeth. Next we turn to the reports of Ibn Is-haq, Seerat Al-Nabawiyyah (The Prophet's Life) book by Ibn Hisham, and the book Tabaqaat-ul-Kubra by Ibn Sa'd. These are among the most authentic sources of seerah. Other authentic sources include the history books of Imams At-Tabari, Ibn Katheer, Ath-Thahabi, Ibn-ul-Atheer, and other historians. This book is committed to selecting the most authentic reports and narrations of the Prophet's (s) life story. It is needless to note that every biography of a great personality includes some unauthentic reports, and that of Prophet Muhammad (s) is no exception. However, the publisher has tried their utmost best to present to their learners the most authentic account of the seerah as taken from its best and most authentic sources. The purpose of studying Prophet Muhammad's (s) seerah is not simply to memorize certain dates or events, or to just sit back and enjoy the story. Knowledge of the Seerah is very important in our lives for many reasons:
