Assalamu Allaikum, I am interested in Reading the Tears of the Desert, I just read the summary. I want to know whats really happening there in the eyes of a civilian.
MK I am ashamed to admit that I did not finish the book. I think I’ll try to read it later but right now it’s just not happening for me. For some reason I can’t seem to concentrate on it…I’m weird like that sometimes.
@souvenirsandscars, I still am working on it. As much as I enjoy reading it’s difficult for me to read historical texts. I still think The Sealed Nectar this is one of the better seerahs I’ve read though.
Sister, if your interested I know a site that has the The Sealed Nectar ebook. I believe its for free. Maybe you can post it on your blog. I don’t have one so might as well recommend it to others. I believe its for free. Click on my initials and you’ll find it at the bottom of the page.
Salam sister! I came across your blog when i was searching for pictures. Interesting entries. I was wondering if you’ve ever read Don’t Be Sad, La Tahzan. Really good book
Sister, I was actually wondering whether your edition of The Sealed Nectar was the one from Darussalam. That’s the one I’m reading and honestly I find the English in the translation to be a little stilted. If you’ve found one that reads better I’d like to know about it.
The Sealed Nectar is by far the best biography of the Prophet (s) but it is meant to be read in an academic style. If you want something that is written more for layman reading, I would highly recommend Martin Ling’s Biography of the Prophet (s). It is very easy to read.
Haha, I think I am going to be commenting on all of your pages.
I also would recommend a bunch of other books, like In the Early Hours by Khurram Murad – fantastic read! And the English is amazing.
As Salaamu Alaikum
Would like to know if interested in being a guest on my talk show “Islamic View”on channel 16 MTN
Alhamdulillah sisters making contact that the way to go.
Ohh you read The Sealed Nectar?
Out of curiosity, what were your thoughts on it? Both as a read and as a biography of the Prophet (pbuh)
Hope you don’t mind me asking

Verbage, In the Early Hours is an amazing book. I think I’ve read it at least 3 times now. I’ll have to look up Martin Ling’s biography. Thanks!
