== Opening context ==
The book was written to present a prophetic biography through hadiths, aiming to portray his life without introducing doubt or unnecessary interpretations.{{Sfn|Khanam|2018|p=188}} In the foreword of the book, the author critiques existing biographies, noting their influence by [[modern philosophy]] and European thinkers, which seeks to reconcile the prophet's actions with [[Western culture|Western civilization]], philosophy, and science. The author emphasizes the need for a biography that excludes distasteful narratives and avoids discomforting readers while refraining from interpreting hadiths for modern sensibilities or invalidating them through critical assessments of narrators.{{Sfn|Khanam|2018|p=188}}

Regarding the initial publication, there are discrepancies in opinions. One viewpoint suggests an initial release in 1956 from Lahore, later revised and published in 1979 in collaboration with Maktaba Islamiya Saudiyya and Maktaba Usmaniyya.{{Sfn|Khanam|2018|p=188}} Another opinion posits a 1961 first edition, with three volumes made public, and the fourth volume, completed in 1966, subsequently published.{{Sfn|Khanam|2018|p=188}} There is a 5-year gap between these perspectives. According to ''[[İslâm Ansiklopedisi]]'', the initial volume was published in 1941, and the last volume was printed in [[Deoband]] in 1966,<ref name=":TDV">{{Cite book |last=Birik |first=Abdulhamit |url=https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/kandehlevi-muhammed-idris |title=KANDEHLEVÎ, Muhammed İdrîs |publisher=[[Presidency of Religious Affairs]], Centre for Islamic Studies |year=1988–2016 |series=[[İslâm Ansiklopedisi|TDV Encyclopedia of Islam]] |volume=24 |location=Turkey |pages=294–295 |language=tr |access-date=2023-06-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221031215500/https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/kandehlevi-muhammed-idris |archive-date=2022-10-31 |url-status=live}}</ref> and the book was also published by Maktaba Ilmiyya Saharanpur.{{Sfn|Khatoon|2017|p=177}} A recent publication is from 2003 by Faisal Publications in Pakistan.<ref name=":Talib" />
