‘Urwah ibn Zubayr’s Campaigns of the Messenger of Allah

Description

‘Urwah ibn Zubayr’s Campaigns of the Messenger of Allah restores the earliest eyewitness memory of the Prophet’s life, offering readers direct access to one of the first written sirah works. Compiled within the first Islamic century and transmitted through Abul Aswad, this edition preserves Al Maghāzī material that predates later historians and reshapes our understanding of early Islamic historiography. Meticulously edited by Dr. Muhammad Mustafa al A‘zami, this volume brings rare primary documents, letters, and participant lists into the public sphere for the first time.

Why this matters today

Political attacks, media distortion, and endless screen distractions have made authentic knowledge scarce and secondhand narratives common. This book cuts through noise with original sources and scholarly rigor, equipping readers to respond to misrepresentation with confidence and to deepen their love for the Prophet ﷺ through unfiltered testimony from the earliest generations.

What you’ll gain

Primary sirah material not available elsewhere;
Historical clarity that corrects longstanding assumptions;
Appendices of original letters and participant lists that preserve lost names and facts;
A direct link to the Tābi‘īn and the living memory of the Companions.
