A Mercy to Humanity has been penned by Dr. ‘Â’id al-Qarni for all students of knowledge. In this unique study, al-Qarni delivers personal insight into the events of Prophet Muhammad’s life. He also paints a vivid picture of his noble character. This is an emotional commentary replete with evocative language, narrated in the author’s well-known engaging style with which the readers are so familiar. He writes:This book is not a biography of the Prophet (bpuh). He is too great and noble to have a biography written by someone like myself. It is not a compendium of praises. He is too high in ranking to be praised by someone like me. Besides, Allah has praised him, purified him, and raised his status.This is also not a historical work with events related in a chronological order. Neither I nor others can do justice to even a part of the Prophet’s life. An Arab poet said:What can the describers say about him, When his noble qualities are too many to count?
