The Light of Sight (Tr. of Nur al-Uyun)
Translation of Nur al-Uyun – A Concise Biography of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhe wasallam)
Author’s Introduction:
Thus said the meticulous research scholar, the imÄm, shaykh Fat’ĥuddÄ«n Abu’l Fat’ĥ MuÄ¥ammad ibn MuÄ¥ammad ibn MuÄ¥ammad ibn Sayyidi’n NÄs
al-YámurÄ«y ar-Rabýiy – may AllÄh táÄlÄ sanctify his secret:
Praise be to AllÄh táÄlÄ who opens the doors [of Grace] when He is called upon; and He, who bestows means for guidance; Salutations and blessings
upon His Prophet MuÄ¥ammad , whom AllÄh táÄlÄ sent as a guide to those who accepted guidance; and a proof 3 upon those who turned away;
and [salutations be] upon his descendants and his companions who loved and cherished his tradition all their lives.
ÚyÅ«n al-Athar fÄ« FunÅ«n al-MaghÄzÄ« wa’sh ShamÄyil wa’s Siyar,  is a comprehensive biography that I have compiled, which is a copious and
sufficient resource for seekers of this knowledge. After completing it, I felt that it should be abridged to facilitate quick reference, easy to read and to
carry; that which imparts knowledge to the beginner and serves as a review for the master. Hence, I have summarised in these pages, and
named it, The Light of the Sight – A Concise Biography of the Trustworthy, the Vouchsafed.
Thus we begin, with a prayer for aid and guidance from AllÄh táÄlÄ and beseech Him to steer our essay and ease the path to goodness.
