Today I have started to read the best one which is SEERAT UN NABI(S.A.W.W) by Shibli Nomani. It is comprising of seven volumes that are reliable and authentic.This book is a result of deep research. It represents Islamic phillosophy of life and proves from the life of the Messenger of Allah that no other religion is natural and practical as Islam.The work started through the munificence of late Nawab Sultana Jehan Begum of Bhopal and later through the aid of Nizam of Hyderabad.
Shibli Nomani had only managed to complete the first two volumes when he died in 1914. His loyal disciple Syed Sulaiman Nadvi, who was working with him as his literary assistant on the project, collected his research papers and manuscripts and had published them.
In 1953 Syed Sulaiman Nadvi also died before completing and publishing the 7th volume of the book.
The series became very popular with the readers and admirers who were very eager for volume7 to be compiled and published. Syed Sabahuddin Abdul Rahman was approached to complete the work. Accordingly he collected the work of Syed Sulaiman and put together the work the material and compiled it in the form of the book published as volume 7.
Although the book was written about sixty years back, it would still be found useful for understanding the aims and objects benefits and advantages and nature and wisdom of devotion prescribed by Islam.
