The Best Sirah Book
For those in search of Sirah book, this one is highly recommended. Why?
First of all, it's written by an author who won the first place of Muslim World League Sirah writing. Second, his writing is very scientific and comprehensive. Third, all stories and narrations are verified by the famous contemporary expert of Hadits, Syeikh Al-Albani. His credibility has been widely recognized by Muslim scholars. Surely, dear readers, you will ONLY read the authentic sayings and those all are VALID.
What are in the sirah book?
The facts I know now:
1. I have been growing up believing that Khadijah's age when she married to the Prophet was 40. In fact, there are two other narrations saying that she's 35 and even 28 as she's still able to deliver 6 babies of the Prophet, and Fatimah was one of them. It's explained that 40 is too old because it's close to menopause period.

2. I came to realise that Khadijah's slave named Maisarah who was assigned to accompany the Prophet to sell goods to Syam was a man. It's different from what I found in my culture-this name is popularly used as girls' name. Lol
3. Also the Phophet was circumcised on the day seven of his birth. But why people in my culture have their sons circumcised mostly during their school age. Hemm..if he is indeed the best example of human beings why dont we really follow his teaching?
