About This Book
Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtum (The Sealed Nectar) by Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri is one of the most widely read biographies (Seerah) of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The original Arabic work won first prize from the Muslim World League at its first Islamic conference on the Seerah, in an open competition among many manuscripts in several languages.
This is the large, full-color deluxe gift edition of the English translation. It has 215 more pages than the regular edition because it adds maps, pictures, and diagrams in a new layout. The title comes from Surah Al-Mutaffifin (83:25), which describes the drink of the righteous as sealed nectar.
