Description

Have you ever wondered what truly sets our Prophet ﷺ apart from every other messenger in history?

While many books tell us what he did, few focus purely on the special honours and gifts that make him so unique as a human being.

A Summary of the Unique Particulars is the ideal companion to the Seerah. Translated by the award-winning translator and scholar, Shaykh Tahir Mahmood Kiani, this book takes Imam as-Suyuti’s writing and brings it to life in plain English to show us how the Prophet ﷺ was uniquely honoured, chosen and cherished.

You may choose to read a few pages after Fajr or share a few points with your family in the evening. Either way, the bullet point format and concise text makes it easy to absorb and it is a beautiful way to ensure the Prophet ﷺ remains at the centre of your heart and home.

Sense of Muslim identity: Learn why being a follower of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is a unique honour, helping you and your family feel a stronger sense of belonging.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a full biography (Seerah) of the Prophet ﷺ?

No, this is a specialised companion to a Seerah. While a biography tells his life story, this book focuses specifically on his unique rank and the honours exclusive to him that other Seerah or history books don’t usually cover.

I am not an Islamic studies student. Will I find the language too difficult?

No. Imam as-Suyuti originally wrote this as a summary of his larger work specifically to make it accessible for everyone. Shaykh Tahir Kiani has ensured the translation is clear and simple for everyone.

Is the information in this book authentic?

Yes, it is written by Imam as-Suyuti, one of the most famous and trusted scholars in Islamic history, and translated by the award-winning translator, Shaykh Tahir Mahmood Kiani, to ensure that it is both accurate and inspiring.

How long of a read is this?

This is a pocket-sized gem of a book. At just 100 pages with plenty of bullet points, you can read it cover-to-cover in a few sittings or dip in and out for a quick spiritual lift.

Why should I buy this if I already own a Seerah book?

Most biographies focus on historical dates and battles. This book is different because it focuses on the Prophet’s unique spiritual rank and the special gifts Allah granted to him and his followers. It is designed to be read alongside a Seerah book for a complete picture of the Prophet ﷺ.

Who We Are

One of the First Islamic Publishers in the United Kingdom

Connecting English-speaking Muslims to the heart of their faith with authentic, accessible books.

At a time when there were limited faith-based resources to learn and teach Islam to the Muslim community in English, Afsar & Jamal-un-Nisa Siddiqui founded one of the first Islamic publishing houses in the UK. Leaving behind professional careers, they paved the way for future generations to enjoy a wide range of Islamic literature. Almost fifty years later, we continue to provide the highest quality books worldwide and support literacy charities.
