The present work is a translation of one of several sections of Imam Yūsuf al-Nabahānī’s acclaimed work on the Prophet’s biography, characteristics and virtues (Allah bless him and give him peace), al-Anwār al-Muḥammadiyyah (The Muhammadan Lights). The author dedicated this section to an exhaustive treatment of the Qur’anic verses that specifically relate to the Prophet Muhammad (Allah bless him and give him peace): his exalted rank and special status, as well as those verses comprising an exhortation to obey him and emulate his sunnah and the proper manners towards him, and dispelling obscurities arising from otherwise ambiguous verses revealed concerning him (Allah bless him and give him peace), amongst other such matters.
Imam Yūsuf al-Nabahānī (d. 1350/1932) was a Shāfiʿī scholar, judge, Sufi, poet and a prolific author, having penned over fifty works in various Islamic disciplines, such as jurisprudence, theology, hadith, Prophetic biography, heresiology and Sufism. He served as Chief Judge of Jerusalem before being appointed Chief Justice of Beirut, where he remained for approximately twenty years.

The Eternal Message Of Muhammad
<span data-mce-fragment="1">This translation into English of a great Islamic classic offers the western world a simple yet profound interpretation of Islam. Drawing upon years of unparalleled experience in diplomacy and government, Azzam examines the social and economic ramifications of the Muslim state, one based on humane ideals of law and justice expressed in the Qur'an, and one which can provide the foundation for a just society. Abd al-Rahman Azzam is generally considered as the father of the Arab League. He served as the League's first Secretary-General between 1945-52 as well as distinguishing himself in a long career as an ambassador and parliamentarian. As Vincent Sheean points out in his introduction, 'In Damascus as well as in Djakarta, Istanbul and Baghdad, this man is known for valour of spirit and elevation of mind...He combines in the best Islamic mode, the aspects of thought and action, like the Muslim warriors of another time who are typified for us Westerners by the figure of Saladin.' Malcolm X's reading of The Eternal Message of Muhammad and his meeting with Azzam Pasha are vividly recounted in his Autobiography. It is clear that these events marked the point in his life at which Malcolm X turned towards orthodox traditional Islam.</span>
