Searching for a comprehensive seerah to read? The Sealed Nectar is an award-winning biography on Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
The heart of every Muslim is filled with love for our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and this love for the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) is an asset for us. He no doubt is deserving of every ounce of respect and love as he set an example for all of humanity with his life. Every action of his life is to be followed by every individual of the Muslim Ummah. Achieving the highest love for the Prophet (PBUH) is a test of our Faith. Allah the All-Mighty has described and explained the status of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in the Qur’an as:
قُلۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تُحِبُّونَ ٱللَّهَ فَٱتَّبِعُونِی یُحۡبِبۡكُمُ ٱللَّهُ
Say (O Muhammad to mankind): If you (really) love Allah then follow me (i.e., accept Islamic monotheism, follow the Qur’an and the Sunnah ), Allah will love you…’’
(آل عمران: 31)
Love for Allah’s Messenger (PBUH) is a part of our Faith. There is a Hadith of the Prophet (PBUH):
لا يُؤمِنُ أحدُكُم حتى أكونَ أحَبَّ إليه مِن وَلَدِه، ووالِدِه والنّاسِ أجمَعينَ.
“None of you has Faith unless I am dearer to him than his father and his son and all mankind.’’
(صحيح البخاري: 15)
In the early period of Islam, many seerah books were written on the life of the Prophet (PBUH). Till this day studying the seerah of the Prophet (PBUH) is incredibly important.
The Quran mentions that the life of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is the best example, when it says:
وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلَىٰ خُلُقٍ عَظِیمࣲ
And verily, you (O Muhammad) (PBUH) are on an exalted standard of character.’’
(القلم: 4)
Once Aishah (RA) was asked about the noble character and manners of the Prophet and she answered: “Have you not read the Quran? His character is a complete explanation of the Quran.’’ (مسند أحمد: 24601) This means that whatever is commanded and prohibited in the Quran, its practical embodiment is present in the manners of Muhammad (PBUH) and can be observed in Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)’s life. In other words, the ideal and perfect example of good manners and character which the Quran demands from mankind has been personified by Muhammad (PBUH) in its highest degree.
In his youth, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was a combination of the best social attributes. He was an exemplary man with a weighty mind and faultless insight. He was favored with intelligence, originality of thought and accurate means leading to his goals. His periods of long silence helped his habit of meditation and deep investigation into the truth. His vivid mind and pure nature were instrumental in assimilating and comprehending ways of life and people, from the point of view of the individual and community.
It can be learned from the story of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that he shunned superstitious practices but took an active part in constructive and useful dealings; otherwise, he would have taken a route to his self-adopted seclusion. He kept himself aloof from drinking wine, eating meat slaughtered on stone altars, or attending the festivals of the idolaters.
He held the idols in extreme aversion and disgust. He could never tolerate someone swearing by Al-Lat and Al-’Uzza.
Allah’s guidance and care, no doubts, detached him from all repulsive and evil practices. Even when he tried to follow his desire to enjoy some worldly pleasures or follow some unrespectable traditions, Allah’s providence intervened to control any slip on his part. This is what makes reading the seerah of the Prophet (PBUH) so important because there is so much we can learn from it. Ibn Al-Athir reported Muhammad (PBUH) as saying:
“I have never tried to do anything the people of ignorance did except for two times. Every time Allah intervened and checked me from doing so and I never did that again. Once I told my fellow-shepherd to take care of my sheep when we were in the upper part of Makkah. I wanted to go down to Makkah and entertain myself as the young men did. I went down to the first house in Makkah where I heard music. I entered and asked: “What is this?” Someone answered: “It is a wedding party.” I sat down and listened but soon went into a deep sleep. I was awakened by the heat of the sun. I went back to my fellow-shepherd and told him what happened to me. I never tried it again.’’
Al-Bukhari reported on the authority of Jabir bin `Abdullah that he said: “While the people were rebuilding Al-Ka`bah, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) went with `Abbas to carry some stones. `Abbas said: “Put your loincloth round your neck to protect you from the stones.” (As he did that) the Prophet fell to the ground and his eyes turned skyward. Later on, he woke up and called: “My loincloth…my loincloth.” He wrapped himself in his loincloth.’’ In another report: “His loins were never seen afterwards.”
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)’s life was distinguished among his people for his modesty, virtuous behaviour and graceful manners. He proved himself to be the ideal of manhood, and to possess a spotless character. He was the most obliging to his compatriots, the most honest in his speech and the mildest in temper. He was the most gentle-hearted, chaste and hospitable person. He always impressed people with his virtuous words and expressions.
His fellow-citizens, by common consent, gave him the title of Al-Ameen (the trustworthy). The Mother of Believers, Khadijah (RA) once said: “He maintains ties of kinship, helps the poor and the needy, he entertains the guests and stands with the oppressed for truth.”
Scholars of Ahadith (narrations) and writers of the biography of Muhammad (PBUH), the Messenger of Allah, have explored his life from every angle and aspect from birth to death. Every event and incident of his life has been described and narrated in detail, but no one can claim to have rendered the Prophet’s biography its full right. Hundreds of books have been written on Prophet Muhammad’s life (PBUH) and this endeavour will continue till the Day of Resurrection.
No doubt, ‘The Sealed Nectar’ (Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtum) is a book of great value and praiseworthy work on Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) life.
This book was written by the Eminent Shaikh Safiur-Rahman Mubarakpuri of Jamiah Salafiyah, Banaras (India) and won the first Islamic Conference on the Seerah (biography of the Prophet (PBUH)) that was held in 1976 in Pakistan sponsored by the Muslim World League. One hundred and fifty thousand Saudi Riyals (SR 150,000) (forty thousand U.S. Dollars) was announced as the grand prize for the best five books.
One hundred and seventy-one manuscripts were received from all over the world. Out of these, eighty-five were in the Arabic language, sixty-four in Urdu, twenty-one were in English and one in French and Hausa.
A board of highly qualified scholars judged the manuscripts and announced the results. The manuscript of Shaikh Safiur-Rahman Mubarakpuri, Jamiah Salafiah Banaras (India), the author of this seerah book (The Sealed Nectar) received the first prize of SAR 50,000 (fifty thousand Saudi Riyals) for its authentic and sound collections of the narrations. Dr. Majid Ali Khan, New Delhi, India, was placed second. The third prize went to Dr. Naseer Ahmed, Islamic University, Lahore, Pakistan. The fourth prize was awarded to Mr. Hamid Mahmud of Egypt. The fifth and final prize was awarded to Abdus-Salam Hashim of Madinah Munawwarah. A grand award ceremony was held at Makkah Al-Mukarramah on 12 Rabi`ul-Awwal 1399 A.H. (1979 C.E.). Later, the book was published by the Muslim World League, and then numerous other organizations gained the honour of publishing this masterpiece.
The Sealed Nectar is a marvelous biography that covers the entire period of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)’ life in different stages. All important incidents and events have been highlighted in the book. The book starts with the condition of the Arab’s and the Holy Prophet (PBUH)’s childhood and covers preceding events and incidents.
Extract 01: Read to get a glimpse of the Prophet (PBUH)’s childhood.
Childhood
It was the general custom of the Arabs living in towns to send their children away to bedouin wet nurses so that they might grow up in the free and healthy surroundings of the desert. Thereby they would develop a strong body and acquire the pure speech and manners of the bedouins, who were noted both for the chastity of their language and for being free from the vices which usually develop in inactive societies.
The Prophet was later entrusted to Halimah bint Abi Dhuaib from Bani Sa`d bin Bakr. Her husband was Al-Harith bin `Abdul-`Uzza called Abi Kabshah, from the same tribe.
Muhammad (May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had several foster brothers and sisters, `Abdullah bin Al-Harith, Aneesah bint Al-Harith, Hudhafah or Judhamah bint Al-Harith (known as Ash-Shayma’), and she used to take care of the Prophet, and Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith bin `Abdul-Muttalib, the Prophet’s cousin. Hamzah bin `Abdul-Muttalib, the Prophet’s uncle, was suckled by the same two wet nurses, Thuwaibah and As-Sa`diyah, who suckled the Prophet.

Extract 02: Read this extract on the second Aqabah and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)’s role.
The Second `Aqabah
Pledge The next year, the thirteenth year of Prophethood, June 622 C.E., during the pilgrimage season, over seventy converts from Madinah came along with the polytheists to perform the rituals of pilgrimage in Makkah. The oft-repeated question among them was “Is it not high time for us to protect Muhammad instead of leaving him abandoned, deserted and stumbling in the hillocks of Makkah?” Shortly after their arrival, they secretly contacted the Prophet (May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and agreed to meet him at night during the middle of the Tashreeq Days (the 11th, 12th, and 13th days of Dhul-Hijjah) in a hillock at Al-`Aqabah, the previous year’s meeting place.
One of the leaders of the Ansar (Helpers), Ka`b bin Malik Al-Ansari, gave an account of the historic meeting which changed the whole course of the struggle between Islam and paganism and said:
“We set out for pilgrimage and had planned a meeting with Allah’s Messenger (May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in the midst of the Days of Tashreeq. The night of our planned meeting with Allah’s Messenger (May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) arrived. We were accompanied by `Abdullah bin `Amr bin Haram, one the most notable and respected among our people. We said to him, ‘O Abu Jabir! You are certainly one of our most respected and one of the most noble of our nobility. We do not want you to be fuel for the Fire tomorrow.’ Then we invited him to accept Islam and informed of the meeting we had planned with Allah’s Messenger (May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) at Al-`Aqabah. He accepted Islam and attended Al-`Aqabah, and he was our chief representative.’’
The Sealed Nectar is a gem of a book. Darussalam also published this book in the Arabic and English language for the benefit of the Muslim Ummah. A must-read for all Muslims looking to learn more about early Islam and Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) life.
