~ * The Sealed Nectar * ~

[Palwasha]

Asalaam'ualaykum wahrahmatullahi wa'barakatuhu!!!

Here's a link to one of the greatest biographies written on the greatest man. It's very famous and well known. Also, from what I've read so far, it's fantastic. I've been wanting to get hold of this for a while, so Alhamdolilah, I luckily happened to stumble across it. I just wish I had it in physical form!!! Khair. I'd strongly urge others to check it out.

Wa 'alaykum Salaam Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh

I like the edit Guely ... couldn't help but smile ...

As for the share, despite the widespread argument against the author, I've never fell for it, and possess a hard copy myself. I made it a habit about four years ago to read it every night, a good ten to twenty pages. We had a flight in between, and I sat there, while the entire family slept (as we had a sleepless night), and I was reading the Chapter on Isra and Mi'raaj until we arrived back to Perth's dead and tiny airport. Remember it like yesterday. Good times.

Allah reward you Graane.

Have you read, Martin Ling's biography of the prophet? if so how do they compare?

@Guley, thx for sharing. will read it inshallah.

I have Martin Lings Seerah. It is very short concise and it has some bits and pieces are different.

I would advice anyone not to read Martin Lings. Scholars have warned against this book because of the inaccuracies.

[*Mahzala*]

I haven't actually. Would you have an ebook link by any chance?

Sangar: ... share away ... please ...

Timbaktu: Thanks Brother. If you don't have anything at hand, don't trouble yourself. Allah reward you.

I try to follow the methodology of the pious predecessors in matters of religion. And the pious predecessors did not share or spread inaccurate information in matters of religion.

So, no! I wont share.

[شمله ور خراساني]

@sangar, what inaccuracies? I have read the book, it was highly recommended by someone and I think it was great.

@Mahzala.

I have the hard copy but I will look for it and let you know.

I am not that knowledgeable to tell you whats in accurate about it. But here is something you can read about Martin Lings Seerah:

Martin Lings Perennialist Poison In Martin Lings Biography Of The Prophet - Abu Bilal Mustaha Al Kanadee - [PDF] must read !!

So, no! I wont share.

While I agree with your former statement, I thought I should add that by now, I am able to distinguish between inaccuracies and authentic sources. I am weary of who I learn from and what they have to say. Learning and accepting the content of doubtful sources is one thing, and reading, exploring and broadening my horizons is another. =)

Thank you for that Timbaktu, Allah reward you for going out of your way to find that for me. I wil have a look into it InshaAllah.

1) The books talks about Abu Talib; uncle of Rasul-ullah (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) reading the Kalima (heard by Abbas (RA) ) while Ahlus-Sunnah Wal-Jamaah believe that Abu-Talib DID NOT become Muslim till the end and we have Saheeh Ahadeeth to state that he will be punished in the fire of Hell

I'll read through the rest of your points later InshaAllah ...

but which version / updated book did they say this was in? I've read the book twice and for some reason I don't remember them talking about Abu Talib reading the kalima...I know you said another person found these ..but I am just wondering which version it was in regards to...




and Guley.. walaikum salaam and thanks for sharing, like abu bakr I love hard copies and I've been reading through it slowly ( a little too slowly).

[Palwasha]

Youe're all welcome.

I prefer hardback's too, which is why I've ordered one, too much staring at the screen hurts my eyes too. But those who don't mind reading books on a computer, or who haven't yet got a copy, or can't get hold of one, could use this InshAllah.

It's a great book.

May allah reward you for sharing this.

I like the edit Guely ... couldn't help but smile ...

Allah reward you Graane.

..Ameen. BarakAllahu feekum. =)

Lol, I'm glad you liked the edit Maz. =P I keep making typo's, it's so annoying!
