The Qur'an, believed by Muslims to be the word of God, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad 1,400 years ago. It is the supreme authority in Islam and the living source of all Islamic teaching; it is a sacred text and a book of guidance that sets out the creed, rituals, ethics, and laws of the Islamic religion. It has been one of the most influential books in the history of literature. Recognized as the greatest literary masterpiece in Arabic, it has nevertheless remained difficult to understand in its English translations.

Sahih Al Bukhari is a collection of sayings and deeds of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), also known as the sunnah. The reports of the Prophet's sayings and deeds are called ahadith. Bukhari lived a couple of centuries after the Prophet's death and worked extremely hard to collect his ahadith. Each report in his collection was checked for compatibility with the Qur'an, and the veracity of the chain of reporters had to be painstakingly established.

Islam has been one of the most powerful religious, social, and political forces in history. Over the last 1,400 years, from origins in Arabia, a succession of Muslim polities, and later empires expanded to control territories and peoples that ultimately stretched from southern France to East Africa and South East Asia. Yet many of the contributions of Muslim thinkers, scientists, and theologians, not to mention rulers, statesmen, and soldiers, have been occluded. This book rescues from oblivion and neglect some of these personalities and institutions.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Though it is the fastest growing religion in the world, Islam remains shrouded by ignorance and fear. What is the essence of this ancient faith? Is it a religion of peace or war? How does Allah differ from the God of Jews and Christians? Can an Islamic state be founded on democratic values such as pluralism and human rights? A writer and scholar of comparative religions, Reza Aslan has earned international acclaim for the passion and clarity he has brought to these questions.

Born only five years after Pakistan was created in 1947, Imran Khan has lived his country’s history. Undermined by a ruling elite hungry for money and power, Pakistan now stands alone as the only Islamic country with a nuclear bomb, yet it is unable to protect its people from the carnage of regular bombings from terrorists and its own ally, America. Now with the revelation that Pakistan has been the hiding place of Osama bin Laden for several years, that relationship can only grow more strained.

Publisher's Summary
A complete authoritative book on the life of Prophet Muhammad PBUH by Sheikh Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarkpuri. The Sealed Nector was honoured by the World Muslim League as first prize winner book. Whoever wants to know the whole life style of the Prophet in detail must listen to this audio-book.
Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him, are severe against the disbelievers, and merciful among themselves. You see them bowing and falling down prostrate (in prayer), seeking bounty from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure. The mark of them (i.e. of their Faith) is on their faces (fore heads) from the traces of prostration (during prayers). This is their description in the Taurah (Torah). But their description in the Injeel (Gospel) is like a (sown) seed which sends forth its shoot, then makes it strong, and becomes thick and it stands straight on its stem, delighting the sowers, that He may enrage the disbelievers with them. Allah has promised those among them who believe and do righteous good deeds, forgiveness and a mighty reward (Paradise). (Al-Fath: 29)
The Prophet Muhammad (S) said: "The example of guidance and knowledge with which Allah has sent me is like abundant rain falling on the earth. Some of which was fertile soil that absorbed rain-water and brought forth vegetation and grass in abundance. (And) another portion of it was hard and held the rain-water and Allah benefited the people with it and they utilized it for drinking (making their animals drink from it) and to irrigate the land for cultivation. (And) a portion of it was barren which could neither hold the water nor bring forth vegetation (then that land gave no benefits). The first is the example of the person who comprehends Allah's Religion (Islam) and gets benefit (from the knowledge) which Allah (Azawajal) has revealed through me (the Prophet) and learns and then teaches it to others. The (last example is that of a) person who does not care for it and does not take Allah's Guidance revealed through me (he is like that barren land)." (Al-Mukarramah)

Skipping words every paragraph 32 pages in!
Can some please fix this problem? It should not be this way. 😖 If I was not following along with a book to hear proper pernunciation of the arabic name, this purchase would be a total waste.

Audio Damaged
What did you like best about The Sealed Nectar? What did you like least?
The book is great, and the narrator is terrific, but there are several parts where the recording is damaged. It is inexcusable that a great book and reading performance are WASTED by unprofessional audio editing. The audio must be re-edited or the book should be removed from Audible.

Narration is terrible.
The narration is is almost unbearable. The narrator sounds like a circus announcement. I want to ask him why he cannot just read the book normally but instead he reads with great emphasis on every other word and it sounds terrible. I think it should be redone.

Terrible narration!
I wish I never downloaded this! A terrible narration of an otherwise wonderful book. Sounds like someone making an announcement for circus tickets instead of reading from a book. It's tiring to listen to. Unnecessary echo effect and monotonous recitation which emphasises every other word without it adding any value to the narration. He pronouncea the Arabic words correctly but lapses into American (Eye-raq and not Iraq). Just irritating and unlistenable. Wish I could ask for a refund!

Very Concise and Accurate
I have been studying Islam and specifically Prophet Muhammad (SAW) for a while now and I must say this is my favorite book which I also own in print and electronic versions as well. I loved listening to the book however, there are sections throughout the book that is defective as it slows and the voice of the narrator becomes demonic like and I had to skip those sections (hence my 2 stars for performance) but since I have the print version I can refer to my books. The book is a very detailed account of the Prophet's (SAW) life and gives an in-depth account of the rise of Islam. I recommend it for everyone but this is a book all Muslims must read.

Book is great, but Audible non-responsive
I loved the book. The reader enunciates very clearly and reads at a good pace. The book is 23 hours and 29 minutes long but near the end of the book, there is a section of about 8 minutes where the audio is corrupted. I informed Audible of this and they sent two emails to gather information but I never heard back. I guess they figure that 8 minutes of corrupted audio out of 23.5 hours doesn't warrant any response to their customer.

Is there anything you would change about this book?
The story is great, but the narration is horrible.
What other book might you compare The Sealed Nectar to and why?
Muhammad according to early source, it has a much better narration.
What didn’t you like about Bilal Abdul Kareem’s performance?
Narration just sounded like a person reading a book, and without any character.
Could you see The Sealed Nectar being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
No

worst narrator ever. He emphasizes words that aren't important which changed the semantics of the sentence. I love the book but it was ruined by the narrator. please redo it with a different narrator.
