Life of Muhammad saw by Imam Anwar Al Awlaki is THE BEST seerah lecture in English. He has beautifully and most eloquently narrated the life of Muhammad saw. This series is in two parts, The Makkan Period in 16 cds and the Medinan Period in 18 cds.
Imam Anwar Awlaki starts from scratch explaining the meaning of the word seerah and then he goes onto explain the importance of studying seerah in 9 points. The best thing about this series is that he has narrated hadiths from Bukhari, Muslim etc…
As he narrates, he clears up many misconceptions about Muhammad saw in the minds of non muslims and many muslims as well. Like why he married young Aisha ra, why he married Zainub ra and why he fought the jews of Medina.
THis is definintely a MUST LISTEN to series BY ALL, whether muslim or non muslim.
I felt the need to have this series in written form as well, for easy reference and to find exactly what you are looking for the in lecture. So I have started to transcribe his lecture This is an extremely slow process but Inshallah i plan to complete all the cds. I have just finished transcribing the first cd of the Makkan period and wanted to share it with the world. I dont know if such work has already been done or not, but transcribing greatly helped me remember the details….
I will Inshallah post on the blog best parts of the chapters but if you want you can download the whole chapter here: Chapter 1 Life of Muhammad saw by Imam Anwar Al Awlaki
Please feel free to point out errors and mistakes.
UPDATE:
By the grace of Allah, my friend Maria has completed the whole series. Download Transcribed Life of Muhammad – The Makkan Period here LifeOfMuhammadMakkanPeriodComplete
Madinan Period is also complete.

Asalam O Alikum Sister Javeria !!
I want to ask the permission regarding printing the Seerah you wrote in the form of book for Dawah. It would help alot of Muslims , As many of them have good temperament of Reading not listening. I had also been writing the same lectures i had wrote almost 4cds but amazingly someone already did that.
plz grant me permission regarding printing of the transcript.
Wsalam, sorry it never got transcribed! Somehow we missed it.
Salam, can anyone assist me in finding a transcript for the Stories of the Prophets by Imam Anwar Al-Awlaki?
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Shukran/Regards
Page 39 of the Makkan Period: There is a mistake “So they had a journey in winter and a journey in winter;”. It should be “So they had a journey in winter and a journey in summer;”
@Br. Muhammed: Thanks a lot. May Allah reward you immensely for your effort. I will be waiting and keep an eye on this page when the transcribed copy of VOL-II get released. If you have any other page from where you update the status of the transcription, please let everyone know that from a comment.
Jazak Allah khairan.

Walayum Salam, Volume 2 of Medinan Period was released long after me and my friend transcribed the Makkan and Medinan Period Vol 1. So no, it has not been transcribed. Do plan to InshaAllah if some one else does not do it…but for now I am a mommy with loads of other responsibilities and can not take out the time to transcribe. My friend who did the most of the work, I will surely ask her if she can take out the time to transcribe Vol 2.

Assalamualaikum brother, you are awesome! I sincerely pray that Allah (swt) forgives your sins, that He overlooks your mistakes, and that He grants you the highest ranks of jannah. Ameen.
As salamo alaykom. Dear brothers and sisters. I am listening and translating these lectures on Bosnian language. Came to CD 12. If someone has lectures on English, please send me because it is rather long work of listening (some things I can not be sure that I heard correctly) then translate and write.
I agree that this is the best Seerah I came in touch with. JazzakAllahu Khayren.
As salamo alaykom.
MashALLAH excellent work, I really benefited from all of it, I have one question did you ever get to complete the transcripts of Anwar Awlaki’s seerah lectures. I started the seerah in my local halaqah for sisters and the first chapter really saved me a lot of time. May Allah SWT reward you for all your efforts.
As salamo alaykom,
dear brothers.
I listened and translated parts 1-8 on bosnian language. It is very difficult because sometimes I can’t understand and InshaAllah I will not miss the point. It would be a great help to have transcribed text in english from CD 9 on.
JazzakAllahu khajren
Assalamualikum,
I THOUGHT OF TRANSCRIBING THE SEERAH THIS RAMADHAN BUT U PEOPLE HAV OF DONE REALLY A GREAT JOB JAZAKALLAH . NOW WAT I CAN DO IS MAKE BETTER OR READ WAT U PEOPLE HAV ALREADY DONE . AFTER TRANSCRIBING PLEASE POST UR COPY OVER HERE

As-Salam’alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu Akhee/Ukhti Javeria,
Apparently I found some errors after quoting verse numbers 33 and 34 from Sura al-Ahzab. On searching it, I found that it doesn’t match with the following Ayah:
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ شَاهِدًا وَمُبَشِّرًا وَنَذِيرًا
O Prophet (Muhammad)! Verily, We have sent you as witness, and a bearer of glad tidings, and a warner,
وَدَاعِيًا إِلَى اللَّهِ بِإِذْنِهِ وَسِرَاجًا مُّنِيرًا
And as one who invites to Allah [Islamic Monotheism, i.e. to worship none but Allah (Alone)] by His Leave, and as a lamp spreading light (through your instructions from the Quran and the Sunnah the legal ways of the Prophet).
The above two are quoted from Verses 45 & 46 from Surah al-Ahzab, Chapter 33.
Please correct it and inform Dhikrullah brothers about it.
Jazakum Allaahu Khayran.
Ma’assalam

Asalamu Alaykum everyone,
Due to my busy schedule, unfortunately i have not been able to transcribe any further cds.
Furthermore i have also not heard from the brothers who had promised to help with the transcription.
I have recently re-started transcription of Cd-2, but it will take time.As soon as it is done, I will upload it Inshallah.
If anyone is interested in this project, then please post here which Cd you would be doing so there is no duplication of the same work. Start work from Cd-3 of the Makkan period.
JazakAllahu khair for your feedback.
Assalamu Alaikum. If you have the transcribed copies of other CDs of Anwar Awlaki, please send it to me. Jazakumullah Al Khair.
As-salaamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuhu,
Did you know that there are other lectures by Anwar al-Awlaki on http://www.halaltube.com and maybe also on http://www.youtube.com? I just started taking some notes on these lectures yesterday. I too am wanting to take notes on all of his lectures Insha Allah. I can send you my notes as I finish each lecture Insha Allah. However, it might take me some time as I don’t have as much time to work on it as I would like. Also, if you need help with typing your notes, I type pretty fast ma shaa Allah.
Do you have some more transcripts of Awlaki’s lectures? If so, could you please share them with me?
Jazaak Allahu khairun
Slms
Found your site while googling for “al awlakis transcripts”
I too am planning to type out ALL of his lectures, will be starting with the Seerah Makkah period, could you email me which cd’s you’v done already and i’ll begin on what is not done and mail back to you.

Dear javeria,
Jazkhallah khairn for your great effort. May Allah bless you and your family with good fortune. I’ve been listening to a lot of Imam Anwar lectures and among them this lecture is my favorite. I’d downloaded your transcription and Insha’ Allah, I’ll make a good use out of it for my students.
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,
I am really interested in getting these docs for my children. We have been listening to the CDs.
How will I get those? I am very impressed by your efforts.
Jazak allahu khairan
Walaaykum Salam Wa rahmatullah hi wabarakatuhu,
JazakAllahu Khair,
I would appreciate any kind of help in transcribing the lectures of Imam Anwar Awlaki.
So you can go ahead with transcribing the cd 7. currently im working on Cd2 and brother Abdullah had volunteered to transcribe cd 3 & 4 but i havent heard from him so i dont know if he is still transcribing them or not.
One of my friend is in the process of transcribing the Medinan Period and she has alhamdulilah reached CD 5.
Any kind of help in transcribing or making corrections would be appreciated.
JazakAllahu Khairan.
As Salaamu ‘Alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,
Javeria, I had the idea of transcribing cd 7, I think it will be great to give out as a book for dawah, I spoke with al-basheer sometime ago and received permission.
Please email me-maybe we can work together on that project. If you decide to do it on your own, then that’s good as well, if not I will stay make niyyah to do it; either way Barakullahu feek.
was salaam,
Your brother in deen,
