What are the qualifications required to write the Prophetic Biography (Sīrah Nabawiyyah)?
To write a well-documented Prophetic biography (Sirah Nabawiyyah), the author must be grounded in Islamic sciences and Arabic sciences (such as the Quran, , Fiqh, and language), and be familiar with the sources of Islamic history and the Prophetic biography, as well as methodologies for critiquing narrations. If the author aims to summarize accredited books or collect and arrange information from reliable sources, they must present their work to scholars for review. It is recommended to consult reliable modern Sirah books like "Al-Raheeq Al-Makhtum" (The Sealed Nectar) and "Al-Sirah Al-Nabawiyyah Al-Sahihah" (The Authentic Prophetic Biography), and to benefit from specialized books on the sources of the Prophetic biography, such as those by Dr. Faruq Hamadah and Dr. Muhammad Yusri Salamah.
