The Sealed Nectar

Biography of Prophet Muhammad

By: Darussalam Publishers, Safiur Rahman Al Mubarakpuri

Narrated by: Bilal Abdul Kareem

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)

Worth it

Audio glitch on chapter 10 and 52, not unlistenable though


Translation does not seem bad like other review said, and I only speak English.

Great

Where does The Sealed Nectar rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It is top 5

What did you like best about this story?

It was well told, and organized. The audio was good.

Which character – as performed by Bilal Abdul Kareem – was your favorite?

I don't know.

Heart touching

I loved it, a must listen for every muslim. There was a technical recording glitch where the audio was distorted for a couple of minutes. Seemed like it was slowed down. Other than that, everything else is perfect.

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.

Great biography

although this book lasted for almost 24 hours, it was really worth it.
the last chapters are the most memorable.
narrator's performance was great although his voice was amplified in an annoying way in a portion of the last chapters that I couldn't understand what he was narrating.
highly recommended

I’ve Read this book twice and listened to it on here

I absolutely love this book. I have the hard copy and have read it twice. I decided to listen to it again for the first time and was a bit disappointed. The reader was excellent, clear, and I love that they actually recited the ayaats referenced instead of just reading the translation. However, the performance such as mimicking conversations or voices was a bit annoying to me. I wish they would just read the conversations and not try to mimic a kid panting or talking, or things like that. I find myself being a bit discouraged to continue listening whenever those voices come up. Still worth it overall and would highly recommend. This was the only thing that icks me a bit. Jazakumullahu Khayr 🙏

Great book & voice - awful echo

The story of our Prophet sullallahu alaihi wa sallam, is written beautifully and with great details and a clear American English narrator. However despite the wonderful writing and the good performer, somehow there is a persistent and incredibly annoying echo that distracts from the story. I don't understand how this could have passed by a professional team, it isn't the kind of echo that is only present during Arabic shows as they read the Quran. this is a persistent echo even while reading though it is much more pronounced during the title sections and is completely unnecessary. eventually your brain won't notice it anymore, but perhaps you will find it easier to simply read the story.

Excellent biography some audio warped and missing

Bilal does an excellent job reading the biography of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, and the story itself is compelling and complete. the audio is missing in some places and warped in others I recommend following along with the book to fill in the gaps.

Precise and to the point

collection of various historical counts and narrations would be even greater if included shia standpoint of history

I'm so sorry, i couldn't handle the audio

I'm pretty disappointed with the narration. I wish it was in a calmer voice and I hated hated the echo, is it supposed to sound like a khotba? but I want it to sound like a book. I went and purchased this book without listening to the sample, my bad :/ will have to read the book on my own
