Why choose the Roman Urdu edition

Many families in India speak Urdu at home but read English letters more easily, especially younger readers. The Sealed Nectar Roman Urdu edition lets them enjoy a full-length seerah in the language they speak, without needing the Urdu script. It is a good first complete biography of the Prophet ﷺ for students and new readers.

Who should read it

This book suits students of knowledge, parents who want to teach children the life of the Prophet ﷺ, new Muslims and anyone who wants to know more about the man who changed history. It is also a lasting gift for a wedding, a graduation or Rabi ul Awwal.

How to get the most from it

Read one chapter at a time and keep a notebook for lessons and questions. Reading it with family, a few pages after Maghrib or Isha, builds love for the Prophet ﷺ in the home. Sending salutations on the Prophet ﷺ as you read is a good habit.

The award that made it famous

The seerah competition of the Muslim World League invited scholars to write a clear biography of the Prophet ﷺ, and Ar Raheequl Makhtoom was chosen first among 171 entries in 1979. Since then it has been printed in many languages and many editions, and it has become a standard book for students of the seerah, for lecturers and for ordinary families. Its popularity comes from its clear order, its careful references and its plain style.

A seerah for the whole family

A full-length seerah can seem daunting, but a clear Roman Urdu edition makes it easy for every member of the family to take part. Older children can read a chapter and tell the story to the younger ones. Parents can use the book to prepare short talks at home. The hardback binding makes it a durable copy that can be passed from one generation to the next.
