In this paper, the personality and works of Allama Ibn-e-Abdul Bar Qartabi have been discussed in order to assess and evaluate his contribution to Islamic literature. Of special significance is Allam Qartabi's book on the life achievements of the Holy Prophet. In this book Allama Qartabi has  tried to be objective and comprehensive by not relying on any one source. He has brought together references from different books. He has also compared different writers at different points of narration. He has discovered and included many other sources of history, including the narration of his 'sheikhs' (spiritual leaders). Consequently Allama Qartabi's book on the life and achievements of the Holy Prophet is authentic and comprehensive. This became a reference book for many followers. Ibn-e-Hazam in his "Jawamey- Al- Seerat" has mainly relied on Qartabi's book. This shows Al-Qartabi's greatness. Qartabi's book and his original manuscript have been reserved in "Alarbiya library".
