Inspired by a dream about the Prophet ﷺ, the author of The Clear Sirah aims to help everyone better understand and appreciate the legacy of the best human who ever lived.
Edited by kids and packed with hundreds of incredible stories, authentic hadiths, and precious gems from the Prophet's life, this book is made up of 365 small sections, one for each day of the year, to be read in a few minutes.
Each of the 52 weeks of the year covers a theme from the Prophet's sirah. These themes have been carefully selected in order to reflect the timeless excellence and superior wisdom of the Prophet ﷺ .
Every theme is supported with amazing stories and examples, followed by a short quiz to make sure you have mastered the current theme.
Featuring beautiful illustrations and designs, including those of the author's assistant, Mr. Hamzah (shown to the right), The Clear Sirah focuses on 4 important aspects of the Messenger's life: he ﷺ as a human, teacher, leader, and a prophet ﷺ.
The goal of this work is to highlight the legacy of the Prophet ﷺ as well as the lessons we can learn from the lives of his şahabah (companions), including the challenges they faced, the sacrifices they made, the losses they suffered, and the successes they achieved.
This book has the potential to make the reader laugh, cry, reflect, and fall in love with the sirah of the Prophet ﷺ. It's a masterpiece that should be in every home and read by every kid.
