Amazing stories about the birth and life of the Prophet (PBUH) in "Qaf"

According to Ashura News, quoting Fars News Agency: "I saw a light that separated from me and the whole world was illuminated by it..." This is the narration of Amina, the mother of the Prophet; the very moment that recorded the birth of the Messenger of God (PBUH) more brilliantly than any other event in history. A scene that comes to life in Yasin Hejazi's book "Qaf" is not just a historical account, but a living and exciting image before the reader's eyes. "Qaf" is a book that narrates the life of the Prophet of Islam as a suspenseful and dramatic narrative, scene by scene. To create this work, Yasin Hejazi turned to three ancient Persian texts: Tafsir Surabadi, Sharaf al-Nabi, and Sirat Rasulullah. He put together the scattered and sometimes difficult narrations of these works, removed the margins, and created a coherent and readable text. The result is a book of more than a thousand pages, but so fluid and sweet that it feels like you are reading a historical novel. In "Qaf" all the important moments of the Prophet's life are present: childhood and orphanhood, mission and migration, wars and peace treaties, moments of suffering and moments of victory. In this book, the Prophet is depicted not only as a holy prophet, but also as a human being with tangible feelings and experiences; someone who laughs, cries, makes decisions, gets injured and speaks to his companions. This image of a human being brings today's reader closer to him. What is most surprising is the language of the book. Hejazi has not fallen into the trap of heavy and old prose, nor has he turned it into a soulless modern prose; rather, he has created a tone that has both the scent of authenticity and is pleasant to read. This choice has made it possible for even reading a thousand pages of narration not to be boring, and on the contrary, each page draws one to the next.

More than just a historical reference, “Qaf” is a literary and cultural experiment; an exercise in reviving ancient texts and recreating them in today’s language. A book that shows that the narrative of the life of the Prophet of Mercy can still surprise us if, instead of distancing ourselves from history, we hear it again in a new language.

In a part of this book, we read: Safiya, daughter of Abdul Muttalib, the aunt of the Prophet, says: “He was born from his mother, do not say no.” And while he was born from his mother, he fell down in prostration to God. (And at that hour when he prostrated to God, everything on earth, whether animal or otherwise, all prostrated to God in obedience to him.) And he came from his mother with his navel cut and washed. We wanted to wash him, but we heard a voice saying, “Wash him! We sent him washed and fit.” He was saying in an eloquent language: “There is no god but Allah…” and we heard the angels saying, “Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah!” I wanted to see if it was a boy or a girl, but a light surrounded him so that no one could see his nakedness. And he was still in darkness when he was separated from his mother. I held him; the whole house became bright, as if it were midday! I was afraid and came out: the whole world from east to west was illuminated! A call fell in the kingdom of the seven heavens and earth that “The illiterate Arab Hashemite Prophet has been born, the Seal of the Prophets!” You can read a part of this book by Yasin Hijazi below;
