Seerah Ibn Hisham – Biography of the Prophet ﷺ

About this book

This abridged edition of one of the earliest and most respected biographies of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) presents the life of the Messenger in a clear, readable, and carefully preserved format. Based on the foundational work of Ibn Hisham, which itself is a refined version of Ibn Ishaq’s original compilation, this version retains the essential events, character, and mission of the Prophet without overwhelming the reader with excessive listings or chains of narration.

Abdus-Salam Harun’s abridgment makes this classical text accessible without compromising authenticity. Readers will appreciate its continuity, clarity, and reverence for the original. Whether you're exploring the early days in Makkah, the struggles of Madinah, or the final moments of the Prophet’s life, this edition guides the reader through a transformative journey grounded in authentic narration and spiritual depth.

Ideal for students, teachers, and anyone seeking a reliable and engaging account of the Prophet’s life, this book serves as a practical entry point into the Sīrah tradition while remaining faithful to the scholarship of early Muslim historians.

It brings history alive in a way that connects deeply with the mind and heart—making it suitable for both personal reading and educational settings.

A timeless narrative with lasting relevance.
