Al-Sira al Nabawiyya by Imam Ibn Kathir is a full examination, in chronological order of the background, life and the mission of the Prophet Muhammad {Sallalahu A’laihi wa Sallam}. Drawn from the earliest and most reliable Arabic sources, it offers, in this close English translation, the fullest available account of the historical circumstances and personalities most important in the foundation of Islam.
Ibn Kathir’s work offers a fine example of the Islamic scholarship; the quotations and anecdotes that constitute its core are evaluated in terms of trustworthiness of the sources. Variant wordings that are related through differing lines of transmission are noted, and Ibn Kathir gives both his own assessments and those of the earliest Islamic authorities concerning the likely authenticity of these records. The comments and conversations, derived from ancient texts, that are quoted in this work constitute the basis of our knowledge of Islam during the life time Muhammad {Sallalahu A’laihi wa Sallam}.
Volume 1: Prior to Prophethood to First Revelation
Relates the history of the Arab tribes who were the Prophet’s forebear, the lives of his parents and the accounts unusual events surrounding his birth. It then goes on to relate anecdotes regarding his childhood, the signs of the Prophet hood and the first revelations.
Volume 2 : Early years to 2 AH
Looks at the early years of the Prophethood and includes such episodes at the Night Journey from Mecca to Jerusalem and the ascent to Haven, the Prophets marriages to Aisha (RA) and Sawda (RA) and the emigration to Madina. It gives details of events in the two years following the emigration, including the building of the Holy Mosques and various military expeditions and reveals how Islam as a faith developed.
Volume 3 : 3AH – 8 AH
Gives details of the numerous battles and campaigns waged between 3 (AH) and 8 AH to defend and spread the religion of Islam.

This valuable work on the life of the Holy Prophet Muhammad {Sallalahu A’laihi wa Sallam} by Imam Ibn Kathir hardly stands in need of any introduction.
