Translation of Nur al-Uyun – A Concise Biography of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhe wasallam)

Author’s Introduction:

Thus said the meticulous research scholar, the imām, shaykh Fat’ĥuddīn Abu’l Fat’ĥ Muĥammad ibn Muĥammad ibn Muĥammad ibn Sayyidi’n Nās
al-Yámurīy ar-Rabýiy – may Allāh táālā sanctify his secret:

Praise be to Allāh táālā who opens the doors [of Grace] when He is called upon; and He, who bestows means for guidance; Salutations and blessings
upon His Prophet Muĥammad
, whom Allāh táālā 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.

Úyūn al-Athar fī Funūn al-Maghāzī wa’sh Shamāyil 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 Allāh táālā and beseech Him to steer our essay and ease the path to goodness.
