At a glance – Benefits of studying the biography of the Prophet (S)



'At a glance – benefits of studying the biography of the Prophet (S)

• It is an obligation.
• Increase our love for the Prophet (S)
• Seerah helps us understand the Quran.
• A source of optimism
• The Seerah itself is a miracle
• A precise methodology for the revival of the Ummah
• Source of knowledge about the companions.

Allah has commanded us to know the Prophet Muhammad  . This is an obligation that Allah has put upon us. There are over 50 verses in the Qur’an that tells us to take the Prophet   as an example. For example,

Indeed in the Messenger of Allah (Muhammad SAW) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes in (the Meeting with) Allah and the Last Day and remembers Allah much.
Qur’an [33:21]
From the Seerah, we can gain religious knowledge, we can learn about manners and morals. Also, from the Seerah, we get to know how he was as a leader. How he was as a father and as a husband. No matter in which angle we look at, we will find an example in him to follow.

Love of Prophet Muhammad  

Studying Seerah is the number one way to increase our love for the Prophet  . There are no other ways as effective and as powerful to increase our love for the Prophet   than by studying his life and times. This is a sad fact that unfortunately we have neglected this study.

If you truly love him, you will study him. Because, a sign of loving someone is to want to know more about that person. Studying the Seerah is a sign of love and through studying the Seerah we increase our love. It is a circle – the more we study the more we love, the more we love, the more we study.'
