For nearly a thousand years, Ash-Shifa of Qadi Iyad (d. 544 AH) has stood as the definitive work on the greatness of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ — so revered that it was said no Muslim home should be without it.
Its full title, Healing by the Recognition of the Rights of the Chosen One, captures its purpose: to know the Messenger ﷺ is to love him, and to love him is a cure for the heart. Qadi Iyad gathers the Qur'anic verses describing the Prophet ﷺ with masterful commentary, a complete account of his qualities and character, the way the community of Madinah honoured him, and the rights of love, obedience and reverence owed to him by every Muslim.
This handsome hardback edition presents Aisha Bewley's celebrated English translation — the first complete rendering of this majestic text. A cornerstone of any Islamic library and a truly special gift.
