A complete authoritative book on the life of   Prophet Muhammad PBUH   by Sheikh Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarkpuri.   The Sealed Nectar   was honoured 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 PBUH  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).

Allah has promised those among them who believe and
