Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtum (meaning The Sealed Nectar) is an authoritative and popular Sira (biography) of the Muslim prophet Muhammad, written in Arabic and then translated in Urdu by Shaikh Safi-ur-Rahman Al-Mubarakpuri. Its Arabic version was awarded first prize by the Muslim World League, at the first Islamic Conference on Seerah, following a world-wide competition for a book on the Sirah Rasul Allah (life of Muhammad) in 1979 CE (1399 AH). The book competed with 170 other manuscripts, 84 in Arabic, 64 in Urdu, 21 in English, one in French and one in Hausa. [1]

The book takes into account various phases of the life of the Muhammad. The book provides authentic references which makes it more reliable and less controversial. The revised edition of the book consists of just less than 600 pages.

The title of the book is taken from Quranic verse Yusqawna mirraheeq-(in)-makhtum-in[1] (meaning Their drinks will be spiced with sealed nectar)[2] i.e. Ayat 25 of Surat Al-Mutaffifin (The Cheaters) 83.
