... احتفى التاريخ العربي بالسيرة المُحمدية؛ فأفرد لها المجلدات الطوال، التي ذكرت أحداث ميلاد ونشأة النبي؛ وقد أسهبت في تناول أحداث حياته من المولد حتى الوفاة بتفاصيل كثيرة مُعززة بالأسانيد ومغرقة في تفاصيل الأحداث وتواريخها؛ ولما وضع العقاد هذا الكتاب لم يكن هدفه عرضًا جديدًا للسيرة المحمدية بل أراد إبراز ملامح عبقرية النبي الإنسان الذي اصطفاه الله بظروف مُختارة صَقَّلت شخصيته، وبقدرات إنسانية فذَّة مكَّنته من الاضطلاع بحمل الرسالة. كما يقدم لنا جوانب من حياة الداعي الرحيم، الرفيق بقومه، والعالم بما يصلح لهم، فكان القائد العسكري النبيل، والسياسي المحنَّك الذي استطاع كذلك أن يدبر أمور دولة الإسلام الوليدة بمهارة، كما يقترب من صفاته الإنسانية فهو الزوج العطوف والأب الحنون رغم جسامة المهمة التي لها أرسل.
.. اعتنى الكثير من المؤرخين بترجمة سيرة الصحابي الجليل «أبو بكر الصديق» فلم يعد هناك الكثير مما يقال عنها، وقد أدرك العقاد هذا الأمر فجاء كتابه عن الصديق مختلفًا؛ فقدم دراسة نفسية تحليلية لشخصية الصديق ليتعرف على صفاته وسماته الشخصية ويستنبط بواعث سلوكه، فيسوق العقاد الأخبار والحوادث التاريخية لا ليعرضها هي نفسها بل ليضع يده على مفاتيح شخصية الخليفة الأول من خلال تعاطيه مع الأحداث وتعامله مع الناس. كما يقترب من بيئته وحياته قبل الإسلام وبعده وظروف إسلامه، ثم يعقد المقارنة بينه وبين «عمر بن الخطاب» ليظهر الفروقات بين شخصياتهما وطباعهما، كما يقدم جوانب من إدارته لشئون الخلافة في الدولة الإسلامية الوليدة وكيف تصرف تجاه الأزمات التي كادت أن تعصف بها.
Khaled is a young man in his thirties who graduated from the College of Fine Arts. He failed to travel from his city of “fairies,” which was closing in on him from all sides, so he had no choice but to work as an employee in a bookstore, through which he practiced an additional, secret job in which he sold his works of fiction. Life would have gone better if one could keep the secret, but as Faraj, Khaled’s father, says: “No matter how much you hide it, the secret will wake up inside you one day, and then it will continue to burrow into your soul until it is released to the world.” Thus, Khaled’s choices in life soon put him in the face of “Khalil Nayef,” a lawyer with wide influence who wants to enter the world of writing.

He is provoked by the story of the man who wore different masks, so he travels the country in search of the turning point in the path of the mysterious man before he solves all the mysteries in the end.
