Sirat-un-Nabi

Sirat-un-Nabi

Sirat-un-Nabi (Life of the Prophet) is one of the greatest and most authentic Sirah Rasul Allah (biographies) of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, written in Urdu by Shibli Nomani and Syed Sulaiman Nadvi in 6 volumes.

The work started through the munificence of late Nawab Sultana Jehan Begum of Bhopal and later through the aid of Nizam of Hyderabad.

Nomani had only managed to complete the first two volumes when he died in 1914. His loyal disciple Syed Sulaiman Nadvi, who was working with him as his literary assistant on the project, collected his research papers and manuscripts and had them published.

Originally in Urdu, the book since has been translated into many languages. The Arabic translation of the first part of this work was done by late Muhammad Ismail Madrasi of Algiers University. It was translated into English by Tayyab Bakhsh Budayuni and Mohammad Saeed Siddiqi. This work remains Nomani's most famous work.Fact|date=September 2007
