Man needs a perfect and universal exemplar who could
place in his hands a guide-book of practical life, so that every wayfarer
may reach his destination safely. And this exemplar did come to the world
in the person of the last of the Prophets, Muhammad, on whom be peace and
blessings of the Lord.
Sayyid Sulaiman Nadwi, the author, was the
illustrious student of Allama Shibli Nu'mani whose masterpiece,
Sirat-un-Nabi (Life History of the Prophet  ), he edited and presented to
the world after his teacher's death. |
