Sultan of Hearts: Prophet Muhammad (Volume 1 and 2) Paperback – August 7, 2014

I begin in the name of Allah ﷻ, The Most Gracious, The All Merciful. I ask Allah ﷻ to forgive us for our shortcomings and to make it easy for us to discern truth from falsehood.Very early on, only by the help of Allah ﷻ, I noticed worrisome wording in this book such as asking forgiveness from our Prophet ﷺ with our heads bowed... the first picture underlines this. This is borderline shirk and should be taken seriously.As for the second picture, a hadith that is fabricated has been written when it was made very clear from the summary that the author would only rely "firmly on canonical Hadith collections and Sirah literature". Saying that Allah ﷻ has created this world for Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is bid-ah... may Allah ﷻ protect us."I did not create jinn and humans except to worship Me." 50:56For this reason, and this is surely reason enough, I will not even continue reading this book and will return it immediately. I haven't nearly enough knowledge to discern truth from falsehood for what may come later in this work were I to continue-- Alhamdulilah Allah ﷻ has protected me from this fitnah. Please be cautious and think twice before purchasing!Asalamualaikum, may Allah ﷻ guide us"haykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked:Is the hadeeth which some people quote – “Were it not for you, Allah would not have created the Throne or the Kursiy (lit. Footstool) or the earth or the heavens or the sun or the moon or anything else” saheeh or not?He replied:Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is the leader of the sons of Adam (peace be upon him), and the best and noblest of creation, hence some people say that Allah created the universe because of him, or that were it not for him, Allah would not have created the Throne or the Kursiy or the earth or the heavens or the sun or the moon.But this hadeeth that is narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is neither saheeh (sound) nor da’eef (weak), and it was not narrated by any scholar in a hadeeth from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Neither was it known from the Sahabah/Companions (may Allah be pleased with them). Rather it is the words of one who is unknown.Majmoo’ al-Fatawa, 11/86-96."

This book made me tear up in the intro and the first chapter. It is beautiful it starts with Ibrahim and is written in a way that makes you fall in love with Hagar and Ibrahim immediately it even strengthens your own reliance on Allah, all in one page. Highly recommend it! Way more than just a list of events. I want to read this all in one sitting but I’m going to savor it because it’s profound.

Amazing! I absolutely love these books. Made me cry it was beautiful to be reminded of the prophets.

Great Book to read to renew your faith

Simply Beautiful! Heart touching, the best ever exemplary character explained.

best seerah book ever. It reads like a story and its so hard to put it down.

Great product!

Dr. Haylamaz is the author of best selling titles like Khadija, Aisha, etc. He knows the Sahabe and especially Prophet Muhammad's (pbuH) family. I read several siyar titles including Martin Links and Salih Suruc(Turkish). I thought I have known most about our prophet's life. But in this two volume book, I found out lots of new things.The most different thing about this book is: It is covering of the gazves (wars) of the prophet but it is not the center of life. In other siyars you see Bedir, Uhud, Hendek etc. take the 60-70% of the title. Not in this one. From 23 years of his prophet-hood, only couple months keep him busy with the gaves. So the book mentions more about other aspects of his life. This gave it a very different richness.

One of the best seerah's I have read. Pleasant read. Defiantly recommended

Really well documented

I randomly bought this book because it appealed to me as the authors are Turkish. I had come back from a trip to Turkey and found this on amazon. Seeing the love and respect that Turkish people had for the Prophet (SAW), I decided to give this a read. I recently finished the first volume and I loved it. It contains a lot of details about the Prophet's (SAW) life that I found very interesting and provided a lot of insight into his character. I feel I have learned so much just from reading the first volume. I also really appreciated the description on the back cover in which the authors stated their intention to not focus on the wars that took place, which only lasted around 2 months of the Prophet's (SAW) life. Many other books you will read focus on the wars, but that is hardly what his life and message were about! I look forward to completing the second volume.p.s. this looks great standing on my coffee table so the appearance is an added bonus!

Must read..very nice book
