I loved Omar Suleiman's interpretations and stories of Rassoul Allah and I imagined him ﷺ in every moment telling myself: Oh HE WAS A GREAT MAN ﷺ !
the prophet ﷺ is an amazing human being. The more I know and read about him ﷺ, the more I want to be one of his companions.
May Allah bless us with Sabr until we meet him ﷺ.

"You must constantly attempt to bring the Prophet's code of conduct into your life. By doing so, you will remember him throughout your life, and ultimately long for him. By longing for him more, you will have the tendency to send more blessings (salawat) upon him. Once you begin doing this, you will develop intricate connection with the Prophet s.a.w." - Meeting Muhammad by Omar Suleiman
It is always a truly pure and heartwarming experience to be reading about a story, any story at all related to our beloved Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. He was the best and most beloved of creations, and his life story was filled with every single lesson and morsel of wisdom that would make a wonderful guide to every believer.
This stunning book is based on Yaqeen Institute's Ramadan series a couple years ago, and reading the print form is an illuminating experience. Split into thirty reflections on the life of our beloved Prophet, each chapter truly delivers in the concise and inspirational narrative of various aspects of the Prophet's life.
The second person narrative likened the reader to imagine and envision a life in Madinah over 1400 years ago, vividly describing moments such as being with him in the trenches, or even welcoming him as a guest in your home. This evokes such a sense of longing and yearning in the reader to learn more, to know more, and even to be closer to the Prophet s.a.w.
Ultimately, it also provides a guide on how important one's character development is, and that we should learn to understand and emulate his teachings and admirable qualities as much as we can. For we are mere mortals who can never reach his level of piety, but as believers, we can learn to continue to act upon his teachings and send our salawat to our beloved Prophet s.a.w.

As per usual, Dr. Imam Omar Suleiman once again captures his 30 day Ramadan series in a beautiful 30-chapter book. I am absolutely in AWE!! This book really feels like you're meeting the Prophet Pbuh himself and it makes my heart feel so so warm. I didn't want this book to end. I didn't want these stories to end. I want to read this book over and over again. That's how much I loved it!!

What a beautiful book. I was given this as reading material for a class I was taking over the summer and I just fell in love with this work. Omar Suleiman successfully reels the reader into imagining what it could have possibly been like to interact with the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in various scenarios, and that really hits right in the feels with some of the descriptions of our Beloved ﷺ. His character, emotional intelligence, gentleness, sincerity, the good and bitter times, ﷺ. He used to make you feel as if you were the most important person in the world when talking with him, and even just reading about this on paper, 1400 years and an ocean separating us, made me feel deeply connected to this man. Imagine what meeting our Master Muhammad ﷺ would have been like, that's what this book tries to convey. May Allah allow us to truly experience this reality in the next world. Allahumma Ameen
