Zirr ibn Hubaysh reported: Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (RA), said, "Verily, Allah looked at the hearts of the servants, and He found that the heart of Muhammad (ﷺ), was the best among them, so He chose him for Himself, and He sent him with His message. Then, He looked at the hearts of His servants after Muhammad (ﷺ), and He found that the hearts of his companions were the best among them. Thus, He made them into the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ), striving for the sake of His religion. ....." So the Quran is an amazing source of Seerah due to its eloquence, the power, beauty, and knowledge of the unseen (ilm al-ghaib). The Qur'an explains to us phenomena we would not have understood. In the context of Badr, Allah says in the Qur'an, So (O Prophet!) it is owing to the great mercy of Allâh that you are gentle towards them. Had you been harsh, hard-hearted, they would have certainly dispersed from around you; hence pardon them and ask protection for them, and consult them in matters (of administration), and when you are determined (after due consultation), put your trust in Allâh. Verily, Allâh loves those who put their trust in Him.”

The greatest of those who wrote was Urwa, the son of Zubayr ibn al-Awwam (RA), the grandson of the Sahabi (Abu Bakr). His mother is a Sahabiya (Asmā' bint Abu Bakr), his grandmother is a Sahabi, his brother is a Sahabi, and his aunt Aisha (RA) is the wife of the Prophet (ﷺ). However, he was born after the death of the Prophet, so he is not a Sahabi. Of the generation to which I belong, then of the second generation (generation adjacent to my generation), then of the third generation (generation adjacent to the second generation).Seerah gives you a detailed history of the Prophet’s ﷺ life, from before and after he became a prophet, his efforts to spread Islam, the battles and challenges he faced, his personal life, etc. Why is Studying Seerah Important? 10 Key Reasons Explained Another source of Seerah is the genre of books written about the miracles (Dala-il) of the Prophet (ﷺ). Many books were written on miracles. The most famous book of Dala-il is called Dala-il-Nubuwa by Imama Al-Baihaqi (384 AH/994 CE - 458 AH/ 1066 CE), a massive encyclopedia of around twelve volumes. So by looking at the miracles, you can extract Seerah.

Studying Seerah Of Prophet Muhammad will finally lead to Muslims truly following Muhammad (PBUH). Seerah makes it possible to follow him in his totality. One of the best books written in recent times is Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtum (The Sealed Nectar) by Safiur Rahman Mubarakpuri (6 June 1942 – 1 December 2006), an Indian scholar. Sirat Rasul Allah, also known as as- sira al-nabawiyya, refers to the study of Muhammad’s life. The term seerah was initially associated with Muhammad’s life by Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri and was soon adopted by Ibn Hisham’s writings. Be lenient to the people in their affairs and do not be rigid; give hope to them and do not cause break up among them…Islam is a balanced religion, so be moderate in acting on its commandments”.The Sirah provides a context to these revelations. It will help you understand when and why certain verses of the Quran were revealed. So, you can easily relate the Quranic verses and hadiths with the life of the Prophet ﷺ. 3. Increasing Our Love to Allah’s Messenger ﷺ The Holy Prophet continues to be a model of piety, love, devotion, and strength for all mankind, not just Muslims. His life, although being chronicled, is one of the most interesting and debated lives on the planet. At later periods, certain type of stories included in sīra developed into their own separate genres. One genre is concerned with stories of prophetic miracles, called aʿlām al-nubuwa (literally, "proofs of prophethood"—the first word is sometimes substituted for amārāt or dalāʾil). Another genre, called faḍāʾil wa mathālib — tales that show the merits and faults of individual companions, enemies, and other notable contemporaries of Muhammad. [2] Some works of sīra also positioned the story of Muhammad as part of a narrative that includes stories of earlier prophets, Persian Kings, pre-Islamic Arab tribes, and the Rashidun. [2] Whoever calls people to right guidance will have a reward like that of those who follow him..." - Sahih Muslim, Hadith 2674 Ibn Hisham's Seerah is a summarized version of Ibn Ishaq's Seerah. Ibn Hisham realized that Ibn Ishaq's version was too big. They did not have a printing press in those days. If you want the book, you will have to handwrite it cover to cover. So he decided to summarize it. Ibn Hisham did not add or re-arrange anything. He simply removed a lot of content. His Seerah is now available in four volumes. It could be that he made it into a half or a third of the original size of Ibn Ishaq' Seerah.

Wahb ibn Munabbih (d. during 725 to 737). Several books were ascribed to him but none of them are now extant. Some of his works survive as quotations found in works by Ibn Ishaq, Ibn Hisham, Ibn Jarir al-Tabari, and Abū Nuʿaym al-Iṣfahānī. When we read Ibn Hisham, we read something written around 100 years after the Prophet passed away, before any book of Hadith was written (Imam Bukhari died in 256 AH, and Imam Muslim died 261AH). So the material on Seerah we have was written within 100 years after the death of the Prophet (ﷺ) since we have the majority of Ibn Ishaq's works preserved through Ibn Hisham. We come to the Seerah to learn about Islam and our Last Prophet, Muhammad (PBUH). To Better Understand the Quran Goodman, Lenn E. (2003-03-27). Islamic Humanism. Oxford University Press. ISBN 9780199885008. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz al-Dūrī, Historical Writing, p.36: "Ahmad ibn Hanbal rejected the hadiths reported by Ibn Ishaq precisely on the grounds of their use of the collective isnād: "I see him relating a single hadith on the authority of a group of people, without distinguishing the words of one from those of another"" (Tanbih 9-43) But Ibn Hanbal did accept Ibn Ishaq's authority for the maghazi. O Allaah, send prayers upon Muhammad (ﷺ)and upon the family of Muhammad (ﷺ)as You sent prayers upon the family of Ibraaheem (AS), and send blessings upon Muhammad (ﷺ)and upon the family of Muhammad (ﷺ), as You sent blessings upon the family of Ibraaheem (AS), You are indeed Worthy of Praise, Full of Glory.O Allaah, send prayers upon Muhammad (ﷺ) and upon the family of Muhammad (ﷺ) as You sent prayers upon the family of Ibraaheem (AS), and send blessings upon Muhammad (ﷺ) and upon the family of Muhammad (ﷺ), as You sent blessings upon the family of Ibraaheem (AS), You are indeed Worthy of Praise, Full of Glory. People will be confused about what's happening. The prophets will understand immediately what is happening. You will not understand this verse until you understand the Seerah. When and why it was revealed, and the context of its revelation. The Prophet (ﷺ) was facing persecution, and he was wondering, why is Allah not helping him? Why is the Quran not coming? For weeks, no Qur'an came down, and the Prophet (ﷺ) began thinking maybe his Lord had abandoned him. Then Allah reveals these verses as a sign of optimism. In Islam, Seerah refers to the Seerah of Holy Prophet (PBUH). Al-Seerah an-Nabawiyyah, often abbreviated to Seerah and translated as prophetic biography, is the Islamic culture biographies of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) from which much historical knowledge about the life of the prophet and the early period of Islam is drawn, in addition to the Quran and Hadiths. Hadith, on the other hand, is used to record religious teaching as an authentic source of Islamic law. A Seerah, on the other hand, may have some legal or religious consequences,

Today I have perfected your faith for you, completed My favor upon you, and chosen Islam as your way Nowadays, extensive Seerah lectures and podcasts, and apps like Seerah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ make Seerah learning easier. Muslims all over the world claim to love the last prophet, Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him), more than their own lives, but to be honest, no one truly loves Him since what he stated via his teachings and what he did practically are not mirrored in the Muslim character in our days. The Prophet said I am الْحَاشِرُ (Al-Haashir). He (ﷺ) explained it as well, that mankind will be resurrected right after me. So the Prophet is the signaling of the Day of Judgment. And in fact, the coming of the Prophet (ﷺ) is the first sign of the Day of Judgment. His sending is the first sign that Day of Judgment is close.Then came Ibn Hisham, a student of Ibn Ishaq's students. These are the two names most Muslims are aware of regarding Seerah books; Ibn Ishaq and Ibn Hisham. These are the primary books of Seerah.
