Life of Muhammad(sa) is part of Introduction to the study of the Holy Qur’an by Hadrat Mirza Bashirduddin Mahmud Ahmad(ra). The Introduction was translated into English by Qadi Muhammad Aslam and was first published in 1949 from London. Since then it has appeared in several editions. Life of Muhammad(sa) has also appeared in several editions and is out of stock now. We are publishing it again with an index which the original English edition did not have. We have also reset it to make it more attractive. Needless to say that it is much in demand and we very much hope that the present edition will meet this demand. Some minor corrections have also been made.
The name of Muhammad(sa), the Holy Prophet of Islam, has been followed by the symbol sa, which is an abbreviation for the salutation 'may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.' The names of other prophets and messengers are followed by the symbol as, an abbreviation for 'on whom be peace.' The actual salutations have not generally been set out in full, but they should nevertheless, be understood as being repeated in full in each case. The symbol ra is used with the name of the Disciples of the Holy Prophet(sa) and those of the Promised Messiah(as). It stands for Radi Allahu ‘anhu/‘anha/‘anhum (May Allah be pleased with him/with her/with them).
