This is a short, concise book written by a great hadith scholar. It lists the main events and people in the prophet's life. It does not go into detail, it is very brief and short.
Great historical personalities are inevitably popular subjects for biography and a cursory glance at a list of biographies composed about the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ will confirm him, by universal consensus, as the greatest personality of all time. While other biographical literature varies in regards to authorship, authenticity, length, breadth of detail and historical, cultural and religious perspective, this work attempts to assimilate the most beneficial aspects of all these features. This concise, short book relies heavily on rigorously authenticated (sahih) and fully referenced sources.
