About the Book: A Mercy to Humanity has been penned by Dr. ‘Â’id al-Qarni for all students of knowledge. In this unique study, Dr. al-Qarni delivers personal insight into the events of Prophet Muhammad’s life. He also paints a vivid picture of his noble character. This is an emotional commentary replete with evocative language, narrated in the author’s well-known engaging style with which the readers are so familiar.
He writes: “This book is not a biography of the Prophet (PBUH). He is too great and noble to have a biography written by someone like myself. It is not a compendium of praises. He is too high in ranking to be praised by someone like me. Besides, Allah has praised him, purified him, and raised his status. This is also not a historical work with events related in chronological order. Neither I nor others can do justice to even a part of the Prophet’s life. So what is this work and why have I written it? It represents my thoughts, emotions and ideas which I wanted to record in writing. Like others before me, I write this to express the estrangement I feel in the absence of my leader, my teacher, and my role model, (peace and blessings be upon him). Through this work, I hope to remind myself and the reader about the duties we must fulfil towards the Messenger (PBUH).”

Hina Sami –
What I loved about this book is that it not only tells you the facts about the Prophet’s (SAWS) life but Dr. A’id keeps pleasantly interrupting the narrative with thoughts and ideas for us to keep in mind giving the reader a pause to reflect before moving on. This makes the reading of this book more dynamic. And that is how the life of our Prophet SAWS should be taught – with an active involvement and with ideas to implement. A great read for youth! Highly recommended.

I have read this book, a very beautifully written book. Dr Aid al Qarni has a very unique style of writing. He takes the reader along with him as if he is explaining to someone in presence. Derived very good lessons. Quranic verses are quoted very appropriately. Highlighted all major aspects of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ very eloquently.
