The Prophetic Biography – Sirah Of Ibn Hisham [First Ever Biography On Prophet Muhammad ﷺ] By DKI Publications

About The Prophetic Biography: Sirah of Ibn Hisham

The Prophetic Biography: Sirah of Ibn Hisham is an English edition of one of the earliest and most respected accounts of the life of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The Sirah of Ibn Hisham traces his life from birth to passing, including his upbringing, the hardships of Makkah, the migration, the campaigns and his example for the Ummah.

Ibn Hisham transmitted and refined the earlier work of Muhammad ibn Ishaq, and later Seerah writers have returned to this text again and again. For a serious reader who wants the classical source behind many modern Seerah books, this edition offers a direct and dependable starting point.

What the Sirah Covers

The book follows the story of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in order, from his birth and early life to prophethood, the years of persecution, the Hijra, the battles and the final period in Madinah. Along the way it tells of the Companions (RA) who stood with him and the society in which he called people to Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala).

Why This Classic Matters

Many modern Seerah books draw from Ibn Hisham, so reading it brings you close to the early narrative tradition. It lets you see how Muslims of the early centuries remembered the life of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, and helps you better understand later works that quote or summarise it.

About the Author

Abd al-Malik ibn Hisham edited and transmitted the Seerah of Ibn Ishaq, which is why the work is known by his name. Our listing data shows conflicting author and publisher details, so please message us on WhatsApp at 9906523492 to confirm the exact author, translator and edition in stock.

Reading Tips

Read a section each week and keep a short notebook of lessons about character, patience and leadership. Compare what you read with a concise modern Seerah to reinforce the order of events. Send durood on Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as you read, so the book becomes an act of love as well as study.
