More about The Sealed Nectar

A New full color Edition of Ar-Raheequl Makhtum with 215 more pages than the regular edition as it includes maps, pictures, diagrams and new presentation style. A complete authoritative book on the life of Prophet Muhammad (S) by Sheikh Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarkpuri. It was honored by the World Muslim League as first prize winner book. Whoever wants to know the whole life style of the Prophet in detail must read this book. Muhammad (S) is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with Him, are severe against the disbelievers, and merciful among themselves. You see them bowing and falling down prostrate (in prayer), seeking bounty from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure. The mark of them (i.e. of their Faith) is on their faces (fore heads) from the traces of prostration (during prayers). This is their description in the Taurah (Torah). But their description in the Injeel (Gospel) is like a (sown) seed which sends forth its shoot, then makes it strong, and becomes thick and it stands straight on its stem, delighting the sowers, that He may enrage the disbelievers with them. Allah has promised those among them who believe and do righteous good deeds, forgiveness and a mighty reward (Paradise). (Al-Fath: 29) The Prophet Muhammad (S) said: "The example of guidance and knowledge with which Allah has sent me is like abundant rain falling on the earth. Some of which was fertile soil that absorbed rain-water and brought forth vegetation and grass in abundance. (And) another portion of it was hard and held the rain-water and Allah benefited the people with it and they utilized it for drinking (making their animals drink from it) and to irrigate the land for cultivation. (And) a portion of it was barren which could neither hold the water nor bring forth vegetation (then that land gave no benefits).

About the author

Safiur Rahman Mubarakpuri

Shaykh Safi al-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri was an Indian Islamic scholar, hadith specialist, and seerah writer best known internationally for his award-winning biography of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, Ar-Raheeq al-Makhtum (translated as The Sealed Nectar) — for many decades the most widely distributed English-language seerah in the world. Born in 1361 AH / 1942 CE in the village of Husainabad in Azamgarh district, Uttar Pradesh, India, he began his Qur'anic studies at home with his grandfather and uncle before progressing through the regional madrasa system and graduating from Madrasah Faiz-e-Aam in 1961.

Mubarakpuri spent the next three decades teaching at Islamic seminaries across northern India, including positions at Madrasah Faiz al-Ulum, Madrasah Dar al-Hadith, and other institutions. Ar-Raheeq al-Makhtum was originally written in Arabic for the Muslim World League's 1979 international seerah competition, where it placed first among 1,182 submissions and received the prize of fifty thousand Saudi riyals. The work has since been translated into more than two dozen languages. From 1988 until his death he served as a research scholar at Markaz Khidmat al-Sunnah wa al-Sirah, and from 1998 he worked with Maktabah Darussalam in Riyadh as a senior research scholar, producing major edited works including Ittihaf al-Kiram (a commentary on Bulugh al-Maram) and Minnat al-Mun'im (a four-volume Arabic commentary on Sahih Muslim).

Mubarakpuri returned to Husainabad in his final years and died there on Friday 1 December 2006 / 11 Dhu al-Qa'dah 1427 after a long illness. His seerah remains one of the most widely consulted introductions to the life of the Prophet ﷺ in the English-speaking Muslim world.
