Description

By Ibn Ishaq’s Sirat Rasul Allah is the earliest surviving traditional biography, and was written just over 100 years after Muhammad’s(S) death. It survives in the later editions of Ibn Hisham and al-Tabari. Professor Guillaume’s translation of the Seerah of Ibn Ishaq is now reissued. The translator used Ibn Hisham’s abridgement and also included many additions and variants found in the writings of early authors. The book thus presents in English practically all that is known of the life of the Prophet. In the introduction, the translator discusses the character of the Seerah in the light of the opinion of early Arabian scholars, noting especially the difficulties of the poetry. As the earliest monument of Arabian prose literature, the Seerah remains a work of the first importance

Alfred Guillaume's authoritative translation of the Seerah of Ibn Ishaq presents in English the complete history of the life of Prophet Muhammad. No book can compare in comprehensiveness, arrangement, or systematic treatment with Ibn Ishaq's work. Oxford University Press (2002), English, Hardcover: 860 pages.
