The contents of this book were delivered by the late Mawlana as extension lectures at Madras, in October-November 1925 under the auspices of the Muslim Educational Society of Southern India. He regarded there lectures as his best work. The portrayal of the Prophets صلی الله علیه وآله وسلم character by the author is not only vivid and convincing but also graceful and intensely living, he inspired and inspires others.
