A precise methodology for the revival of the Ummah.

A precise methodology for the revival of the Ummah.

The Seerah of prophet Sallallaa’ho Alayhe wasallam lays out a precise methodology for the revival of the Ummah. If we want to bring about honor and glory to his Ummah, we have to look at what he did. He began from zero and within his lifetime achieved so much. We see the state of the Ummah today and our hearts bleed. We wonder why this is happening to us. The answer is in studying the Seerah and learning from it.

The Seerah brings about the knowledge with which we can defend the honor of our Prophet. His honor has always been under attack, from day one – he was called a magician, a madman and what not. The propaganda that began that time still continues. In our times the Prophet is called a bloodthirsty terrorist, a womanizer etc etc. How are we going to defend him if we do not know whether these things are true or not? And if certain elements are true, then how do we understand them?

By studying Seerah, we can also learn about the lives of the companions. They are called the best of generations, as mentioned in the Qur’an,

Allah being pleased with them and they with Him.
Qur’an [98:8]
By studying the Seerah, we study the stories of Abu Bakr and Umar and Ali, the stories of Anas and Jabir, Talha and Jubair – they were all legendary people. They inspire us by their sacrifices, struggles, patience and perseverance. Each and everyone of them is a role model for us.
