Looking for a comprehensive Seerat on Nabi SAW.
Question
Please advise me on a good Seerat of the Prophet SAW. Also please advise on the Seerat Ar-Raheeq Al-Maktum (The Sealed Nectar). Jazakallah Ghair
Answer
I believe that Imaam Muhammad ibn Ishaaq's book on Seerah has been published in English. He is one of the authorities in the field of Seerah.
Al-Raheeq ul Makhtoom is quite a comprehensive work on Seerah. However, it should be borne in mind that in aspects of history one may find differences of opinions.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
