Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds, and blessings and peace be upon His servant and Messenger, Muhammad, the best of the Messengers and the Seal of the Prophets, and upon his family, companions, and those who were guided to him.
and yet;  This book is what I contributed to in the global competition for the biography of the Prophet organized by the Muslim World League, which was announced after the first conference of the biography of the Prophet held by the State of Pakistan in the month of Rabi’ al-Awwal 1396 AH.  And God has decreed for this book to be accepted as long as I did not hope for it at the time of writing, for it won first place in the competition, and it was accepted by both private and public.
It was from the hadith of this book that I did not see the association’s announcement about the competition at the time, and when I was told about it after a while, I did not hope to contribute to it, but rather rejected this proposal completely, but fate led me to that.
The last date for receiving the competition’s research and receiving it at the Association was the first of Muharram of the next year 1397 AH, i.e. about nine months from the time of the announcement.  God Almighty, and I began to work on it, until it was completed and sent on time.
