This book is a translation of an extract from Jawahir al-Bihar fi Fada'il al-Nabi al-Mukhtar ﷺ by al-Shaykh Yusuf ibn Isma'il al-Nabhani on the virtues and specialties of the Chosen Prophet ﷺ based on the writing of al-Imam Shihab al-Din al-Qastallani in his book, al-Mawahib al-Ladunniyah – with foreword by Dr. Muhammad Mubarak Habib Mohamed.
This book embarks on a journey to uncover the virtues and specialties of the Prophet ﷺ from pre-eternity to eternity, beginning with the sacred creation of al-Haqiqah al-Muhammadiyah, or the Muhammadan Reality, from which Allah ﷻ created the kingdom of the skies and the earth.
The central theme of this book thereafter explores the unique specialties of the Chosen Prophet ﷺ in chronological order; starting from the beginning of his creation and the beginning of his Prophethood even before Adam the father of mankind was brought to life, and concluding with his eternal virtues and honours in Paradise.
Other major scopes in this book are the specialties of the Muhammadan Ummah, evidence of his Prophethood ﷺ, Quranic verses about his great status, the obligation to love him and follow his Sunnah, and his superiority in the hereafter.
All in all, this book serves as a concise yet comprehensive literary work on the perfections of the Prophet ﷺ through the lens of al-Imam al-Qastallani, and offers a deeper insight into his virtues and specialties ﷺ as compared to previous translation works published by Syaafi Publications.

This book aims to affirm the reality of the great miracle of al-Isra’ wal-Mi’raj by strongly emphasising that the journey was an action by Allah ﷻ, not a dream but a reality that occurred with the Prophet’s body and soul ﷺ.
At the same time, the book turns our attention to the exalted status of the Prophet ﷺ who reached a position unattainable even by the closest angel to Allah as he ascended beyond Sidrah al-Muntaha.

This book highlights the evidences that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is better than all the other Prophets, his great moral characters of gentleness, compassion and mercy, and the abundant gifts and abundant goodness granted by Allah ﷻ to him ﷺ.
One of the best ways for a Muslim to understand the Quran is by studying the books of Quranic exegesis by the great scholars of the Muslim Ummah. Therefore, this book serves to aid readers in understanding the Quran with regard to the virtues of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

The author said in the introduction of this book, “My dear Muslim brothers who love the Prophet and who wish for Salawat upon him, help yourself with this book for the sake of salvation in your religion and your world. Regardless of how much you seek, you would almost certainly not find any compilation of a book like this.”
