Please advise me on a good Seerat of the Prophet SAW. Also please advise on the Seerat Ar-Raheeq Al-Maktum (The Sealed Nectar). Jazakallah Ghair
Answer
I believe that Imaam Muhammad ibn Ishaaq’s book on Seerah has been published
in English. He is one of the authorities in the field of Seerah.
Al-Raheeq ul Makhtoom is quite a comprehensive work on Seerah. However, it
should be borne in mind that in aspects of history one may find differences
of opinions.
