The Noble Life of The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) 3 Volumes By Dr. Ali Mohammad al-Sallabi

The Noble Life of the Prophet (3-Volume Set) by Dr. Ali Muhammad al-Sallabi is the fullest biography of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) we carry. Across three volumes it traces every dimension of his life — from his noble lineage through the pre-Islamic period, through the Meccan and Medinan phases, through every major battle and expedition, to the Farewell Pilgrimage and his passing — drawing from the most authenticated historical sources and narrations throughout.

What These Three Volumes Cover

Volume 1 — The Pre-Islamic World and the Meccan Period

The first volume establishes the state of Arabia and the world before Islam — the social, moral, and religious conditions that made the Prophet's mission necessary. It then covers his lineage, birth, childhood, youth, the first revelation, the early converts, and the full thirteen years of the Meccan period: the persecution, the migrations to Abyssinia, the deaths of Khadijah and Abu Talib, and the Night Journey and Ascension.

Volume 2 — The Hijra and the Establishment of the Islamic State

The second volume covers the migration to Madinah in depth — the building of the mosque, the Brotherhood between the Muhajirun and Ansar, the major battles of Badr, Uhud, and the Trench, the Hudaybiyyah treaty, and the dawah letters to Heraclius, Chosroes, and other rulers. This is the period in which the Prophet led the Muslim community through its most defining trials and victories.

Volume 3 — The Conquest of Mecca and the Final Years

The third volume covers the conquest of Mecca, the Battle of Hunayn, the Prophet's relationships with his family and wives, his personal life and character, the Farewell Pilgrimage, and his final illness and passing. It includes a comprehensive overview of his moral and ethical principles, his spiritual practices, and the complete picture of who he was as a human being, a prophet, and a leader.
