About The Book

The Emissary Elect is a concise Sirah of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم, highlighting the main events in his blessed life. It is therefore ideal as a teaching template that can be used in Madrasahs, as well as Mawlid gatherings as it is brief and can be covered in a short period of time, or simply as an introduction to the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم for someone who is not familiar with his blessed life.

We hope when one has read this concise biography of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلمone will have the desire then to progress to a more detailed Sirah and read about him صلى الله عليه وسلم in more depth. We advise that one reads Sirat al-Mustafa صلى الله عليه وسلم by ʿAllamah ʿAbd al-Mustafa al-Aʿzami which is available in English entitled Muḥammad, The Prophet of Islam, as many ‘Siyar’ are misinformative and therefore do not give an accurate account of incidents. This is the most correct Sirah available in the English language to our knowledge and contains many proofs in respect to the beliefs of the Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jamaʿah regarding the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم to which others object.
