Tasfiya & Tarbiya – Purification & Cultvation & The Need Which The Muslims Have For Them – Sh. al-Albani No doubt The Sealed Nectar ( الرحيق المختوم - Ar-Raheeq AI-Makhtum) is a book of great value and praiseworthy work on the life of Muhammad. This book has been written by the Eminent Shaikh Safiur-Rahman Mubarakpuri of Jamiah Salafiyah, Banaras (India). The first Islamic Conference on Seerah (biography of the Prophet) was held in 1976 in Pakistan sponsored by the Muslim World League. The League announced a world contest for writing a book on the life of the Prophet. One hundred fifty thousand Saudi Riyals (SR 150,000) (forty thousand U.S. Dollars) was the grand prize for the best five books. This powerful and beautiful supplication is a reminder that dua is the weapon of a believer. Allah immediately responded to the Prophet’s supplication and two things happened. A Gift of GrapesAr-Raheeq Al-Makhtum”: Mubarakpuri translated his Arabic book to Urdu himself and it was published by Maktabah Salafiyah Lahore by Ata’ullah Haneef Bhujiyani. In January 1969, he was appointed as the Principal at the Madrasa Faizul Oloom at Seoni (M.P.), India. According to his autobiography, after four years in 1972 he was requested to serve in his native Institute Madrasa Arabia Darul-Taleem as Principal. After spending two years, he was invited by Jamia Salafia, Varanasi to join as a Professor. He was appointed in Shawwal 1394 A.H. (October 1974), working in various academic departments till Dhul-Hijjah 1408 A.H. (July 1988). It was the general custom of the Arabs living in towns to send their children away to bedouin wet nurses so that they might grow up in the free and healthy surroundings of the desert. Thereby they would develop a strong body and acquire the pure speech and manners of the bedouins, who were noted both for the chastity of their language and for being free from the vices which usually develop in inactive societies. When The Moon Split (A Biography of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ); compiled by Safiur-Rahman Mubarakpuri (originally published: July 1998). [16]

O Allah! To You alone I make complaint of my helplessness, the paucity of my resources and my insignificance before mankind. You are the most Merciful of the merciful. You are the Lord of the helpless and the weak, O Lord of mine! Into whose hands would You abandon me: into the hands of an unsympathetic distant relative who would sullenly frown at me, or to the enemy who has been given control over my affairs? But if Your wrath does not fall on me, there is nothing for me to worry about.

The Prophet and the Muslims thus reacted during the boycott by turning to God with heartfelt dua (supplication). Not only did the Prophet pray a lot while in confinement, he also went to the Ka‘ba whenever he could during the months when fighting was not allowed and the Muslims would be allowed more freedom in their movement. [29] Regarding Khadija during the boycott, it is narrated, “She prayed to God and invoked His mercy upon the besieged. Prayer was her ‘strategy’ for handling adversity. It was, she found, a simple but effective strategy.” [30] Outwardly, it may seem passive to not retaliate, and to turn in supplication. But in reality, the Muslims realized that greater than the strength of the pagans was that of God, and though they were physically unable to relieve their suffering, God has the ability to completely remove difficulties. Thus, they tapped into the greatest means of help: their faith in God. Some of this article's listed sources may not be reliable.

Darussalam also published this book in the Arabic language. I had wished to publish this book in the English language for the wider benefit of humanity. Shaikh Safiur-Rahman willingly agreed to the idea and consented to publish the English translation. The stage of translation was traversed with the help of brother Mahir Abu Dhahab, owner and general manager of Markaz Noor Ash-Sham in Damascus, Syria.

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)’s life was distinguished among his people for his modesty, virtuous behaviour and graceful manners. He proved himself to be the ideal of manhood, and to possess a spotless character. He was the most obliging to his compatriots, the most honest in his speech and the mildest in temper. He was the most gentle-hearted, chaste and hospitable person. He always impressed people with his virtuous words and expressions. Another thing I loved, was that this book mentions the Qur’an and Sunnah in most of the situations in the Prophet’s (ﷺ) life. It mentions when certain Ayah were revealed and gives evidence from the Hadith for many situations. It is so cool to be able to read events in detail as they happened. Like when: Al-Misbah Al-Muneer fi Tahdhib Tafsir ibn Kathir”: Tafsir ibn Kathir was summarised by a team of researchers of Darussalam under the supervision of Mubarakpuri and Abul Ashbal Sagheer Ahmad Saghif. This summarised Arabic Tafsir was then translated in Urdu, English, French and many other languages.
