Talk:Sirah Rasul Allah
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
According to the article on Muhammad, he died June 8, 632. Ibn Ishaq supposedly died (d. 768), according to that article. According to this article, Ibn Ishaq's "Sirat Rasul Allah" is the earliest traditional biography, and was written less than three hundred years after Muhammad's death.
Why three hundred years if he died 768? The dates don't seem to make sense. I will see if I can figure out the facts here.
The original book written by Ibn Ishaq is lost. Ibn Hisham wrote "Sirat Rasul Allah" entirely based on the original book.But he did leave outsections that he thought were too scandalous and injurious to Muhammad's reputation.

[edit] spelling and intro
we find sira and sirah, and the intro with sirat nabawiyya is confusing to non Arabic speakers. Needs fixing.
[edit] Page is a mess
It is written from a pious Muslim POV, uses pious interjections, and needs a complete rewrite. The hadith template should go too. Hadith are not sira. Zora 13:00, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
- Not? Isn't the book a colection of matn? Or is it writen like a cohesive narrative?--Striver 13:50, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] move to sira
I think we should move this to "Sira", and use "Template:"Otheruses"" template to link to the disambig page.Bless sins 20:55, 12 February 2007 (UTC) comment on suraZikrullah 09:31, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] slight changes and a question
fixed the language in the intro up to be less informal. Also, the introduction refers Sharia as Islamic Sciences. I'm 95% certain this is incorrect. Anyone care to comment 130.225.202.73 16:54, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
