The Sirah of the Prophet – A Contemporary and Original Analysis | Yasir Qadhi

The Sirah of the Prophet ﷺ by Dr Yasir Qadhi is the written adaptation of his acclaimed lecture series on the life of the Final Messenger ﷺ. Rather than a purely chronological account, it combines the narrative with contemporary analysis, drawing out lessons that apply directly to life today.

The book moves from the setting of pre-Islamic Arabia and the Prophet's ﷺ early years through the Meccan and Medinan eras, covering the emigration to Abyssinia, the Year of Sorrow, the Night Journey and Ascension, and the battles of Badr, Uhud, Khaybar and Mu'tah up to the conquest of Mecca. A distinctive feature is how closely it weaves the Qur'an into the sirah, showing the context in which verses were revealed.
