The Lineage of the Prophet ﷺ

These are my notes from The Sealed Nectar by Sheikh Safiur Rahman al Mubakpuri:

Prophet Muhammad’s ﷺ lineage is divided into three parts. 

  1. From Muhammad ﷺ to ‘Adnan (authenticity agreed)
  2. From ‘Adnan to Ibrahim AS (various disagreements)
  3. From Ibrahim AS to Adam AS (some parts are incorrect)
