Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtum (meaning The Sealed Nectar) is an authoritative and popular Sira (biography) of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him), written in Arabic and then translated in Urdu by Shaikh Safi-ur-Rahman Al-Mubarakpuri. Its Arabic version was awarded first prize by the Muslim World League, at the first Islamic Conference on Seerah, following a worldwide competition for a book on the Sirah Rasul Allah (life of Muhammad S.A.W) in 1979 (1399 AH). The book competed with 170 other manuscripts, 84 in Arabic, 64 in Urdu, 21 in English, one in French and one in Hausa.

The book takes into account various phases of the life of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) . The book provides authentic references which makes it more reliable and less controversial. The revised edition of the book consists of just less than 600 pages. This book has also been translated into English ( The Sealed Nectar).

The title of the book is taken from Quranic verse Yusqawna mirraheeq-(in)-makhtum-in (meaning Their drinks will be spiced with sealed nectar) i.e. Ayat 25 of Surat Al-Mutaffifin (The Cheaters)
