When the Moon Split

When the Moon Split offers a chronological biography of Prophet Muhammad, compiled by Safiur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri and edited and translated by Tabassum Siraj, Michael Richardson, and Badr Azimabadi. The book follows the Prophet's life from his birth and early years in Makkah through the call to prophethood, the migration to Madinah, the major battles and treaties, and the Farewell Pilgrimage, ending with his death. Written in a more accessible narrative style than the author's earlier, more academic Ar-Raheeq al-Makhtum, it is intended as an easier entry point into the Seerah for general readers, students, and young adults. Maps, footnotes, and references to primary hadith sources support the narrative throughout.
