A beautiful deluxe colour special edition of the classic biography of the Prophet Pbuh, The Sealed Nectar. Illustrated elegantly and finished with quality glossy paper. A complete authoritative book on the life of Prophet Muhammad صلی الله علیه وآله وسلم by Sheikh Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarkpuri. It was honoured by the World Muslim League as first prize winner book. Whoever wants to know the whole life style of the Prophet in detail must read this book. Muhammad صلی الله علیه وآله وسلم 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 (fore heads) 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 صلی الله علیه وآله وسلم 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 benefit (from the knowledge) which ALLAH (Azawajal) has revealed through me (the Prophet صلی الله علیه وآله وسلم) 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)

This book deals with the important events of God's prophets and Messengers from Adam, the first prophet, to Jesus (peace be upon them all), compiling the stories from the Qur'an and the narrations of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) that have been authentically reported. Believing in all the Messengers and prophets of Allah is one of the pillars of faith in Islam. Denying any of them is a form of disbelief which if not repented leads to the hell-fire. Similarly, exaggerating about any of them beyond the honourable status that Allah, the Almighty, has given them, as the followers of many faiths do, is also wrong. {The Messenger [Muhammad] believes in what has been revealed to him from his Lord, as do the believers. Each one [of them] believes in Allah, His Angels, His books, and His Messengers. We make no distinction between any of His Messengers. And they say: We hear and we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final] destination.} (Qur'an 12: 3) {So relate the stories that perhaps they will give thought.} (Qur'an 7: 176) The renowned commentator on the Qur'an, expert in Hadith, and historian, Ismeel ibn Katheer has compiled the Stories of the Prophets from the Qur'an and the narrations of the Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him) that have been authentically reported. The book is unique in its content, dealing with the important events of the prophets and Messengers with all authenticity right from Adam, the first prophet, to Jesus, peace be upon them all. As for Prophet Muhammad, the author has written a separate book about his biography. Ibn Katheer's Stories of the Prophets has been translated here by Husain Maqbool. This is the revised second edition.
