Description:
Ibn Ishaq, born in A.H. 85, found himself in
exceptional company- company of the second generation
of the traditionists, notably Al- Zuhri, Asim b. Umar
b. Qatada and Abdullah b. Abu Bakr. It is no surprise
then that Ibn Ishaq's Sirat Rasul Allah is widely
regarded as the most important work on the life of
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Numerous authors in their
writings on Muhammad(PBUH) have used Ibn Ishaq's work
as a source of reference.

Professor Guillaume's translation of the Sira of Ibn
Ishaq is now reissued. The translator used Ibn
Hisham's abridgement and also included many additions
and variants found in the writings of early authors.
The book thus presents in English practically all that
is known of the life of the Prophet (PBUH).
In the introduction, the translator discusses the
character of the Sira in the light of the opinion of
early Arabian scholars, noting especially the
difficulties of the poetry. As the earliest monument
of Arabic prose literature, the Sira remains a work of
the first importance.
