A research and critical review of Mirza Bashir Uddin Mahmood Ahmad's book Sirat Khatam -al- Nabbiyeen (ﷺ)

مرزا بشیر الدین محموداحمد کی کتاب سیرت خاتَم النّبیینﷺ کا تحقیقی و تنقیدی جائزہ

Abstract

Mirza Bashir Uddin Mahmood Ahmad has written his book Sirat Khatam-ul-Nabieen ﷺ in three volumes (933 pages). The book begins with the early sources of the history of Islam and ends with the names of various kings. While in Ghazwat, he has recorded the history only up to Khyber Ghazwa and has kept silent about the last days of the Prophet's life and his circumstances. In many places in the book, the references are incomplete, which makes the reader uncomfortable.  In many places in the book, arbitrary interpretations of hadiths and events have been given, which has the full art of misleading the common people. Such as calling the incident of Shaq al-Qamar suspicious, the jinn appearing to listen to the word of God and Mirza's denial of the jinn meeting with the Messenger of God, misinterpreting the event of the Ascension, denying the arrival of Hazrat Jibreel on the order of emigration to Madinah, fasting during the journey. Misinterpretation of keeping, arbitrary interpretation of the incidents of haram alcohol, making the arrival of Hazrat Jibraeel suspicious regarding the Banu Qurayzah campaign, interpreting Zakat as a forced system are included.
