Description from Publisher:
The biography of the Prophet is a very noble and exalted subject by which Muslims learn about the rise of Islam, and how Prophet Muhammad (sallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) was chosen by Allah to receive the divine revelation. You also learn about the hardships the Prophet (sallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) and his companions faced, and how they eventually succeeded with Allah's help.
So it is necessary to study the Prophet's life and follow it in all manners. We hope this study will help you to get the better understanding of the religion of Islam. In this sense, this is one of the best books which are meant to be read again and again.
Umm Junayd's Comment:
Mashaa`Allaah, the publisher was on point. The book is a must-read - it flows well, is easy to read and it's concise. It has been written by the same author as 'Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtum - The Sealed Nectar', however, this book is for those who wish to read about the life of the Prophet (sallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) in novel-style.

Your Thoughts
As Salaamu`alaikum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Baarakaatuh, Ukhti...
Mashaa Allaah! I totally agree with you- it IS a must read. It was hard to put the book down when I started reading it and when I was finished with the whole book, I wanted to read it all over again. Once isn't enough. *S*
Jazak Allah Khair for the info:
Just what I needed. Insha'Allah I will get one soon and let you know what I thought.
Asalaam 'Alaikum,
