History Books For Laymen
Sira should be read on the same pattern. Qurna is the most authentic source of Seerah. I could find only one book which examined Seerah in the lighto f Quan and that is Hayaat e Rasool e Ummi by Khalid Masood sahib. Its English translation is published by al Mawrid recently. Whatever History your read, it needs a critical eye to penetrate to the reality. Ground realities are to be considered. History repeats itself. the segments of the history you find still alive in your present. The one who does not well aware of his own living society cannot be able to understand history either.
