The author of this book, Sheikh `Abdul-Khaliq Ash-Sharif, writes: In this book, I’d try to outline the biography of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Due to lack of space, I aim at presenting a prophetic biography, which is simple and informative.
By this work, I hope to gain, and so my family and the readers of this book, the Shafa`ah1 of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
Though I see my shortcomings is so much that I cannot write about this ideal man, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), my efforts are motivated by the love of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), which obsesses my heart.
Almighty Allah says: “Say: ‘If you do love God, follow me: God will love you and forgive you your sins: For God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (Al `Imran: 31)
Also, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “None of you would have perfect faith until I become dearer to him than his father, his son and all mankind.”
