Praise of His Eminence Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdullah Al-Imam

Praise be to His Eminence Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdullah, may God protect him and continue to benefit him

Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds. I bear witness that there is no god but God alone, without partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. Now then:

Paying attention to the biography of the Messenger of God and his campaigns, through research, investigation, teaching, writing, correcting, editing, calling to it, and acting upon it, is one of the most virtuous deeds and noble service to Islam, and a complete connection to the Messenger, and one of the greatest means of closeness to God and a means of intercession.

Living with the biography of the Messenger, as we have mentioned, is a great reason for increasing faith and perfecting knowledge of the Most Gracious, the Generous, the Beneficent, with His names, attributes, and actions.

To recognize the areas of Prophetic compassion, mercy, and benevolence, and to arm oneself with complete patience, steadfastness on the truth, and certainty.

The Prophet’s biography teaches us to give and sacrifice, to be generous and to give.

The Prophet's biography is the greatest provision after the Holy Quran, because the Messenger of God is the greatest standard for all human sayings, actions, and conditions. So congratulations, congratulations to those who have taken a generous share of this provision and have devoted continuous effort in the service of this noble knowledge and lofty origin.

Ethics and in my hands is the book Introduction to the Science of the Prophet’s Biography, Al-Naza’ir fi Al-Sirah Al-Nabawi, written and composed by Sheikh Ahmed bin Ghanem Al-Asadi - may God protect him. I have browsed through the aforementioned book and found it to be precious and unprecedented in its field. It contains benefits that warrant staying up at night to obtain, journeys to reach, and the most precious of times and best of conditions to seize them. It contains strays that would quench a thirst. When I read it, my love for knowledge of the Prophet’s Biography increased and my desire to pay more attention to it. I ask God for help in this. I ask God to facilitate the publication of this book, its acceptance and benefit from it. I say to Sheikh Ahmed, continue in serving the Prophet’s Biography, for God has opened for you this great art and authentic knowledge through diligent conduct and blessed work, so persevere in that.
