Concise Biography of the Prophet

Preface Seerah

Study Duration

بسم لله الرحمن الرحیم
All praise is due to Allah we praise Him, seek His aid, His forgiveness and we seek refuge from
the evil of ourselves and our actions, whoever Allah guides none can misguide and whoever
Allah leads astray none can guide. I bear witness that none is to be worshipped except Allah
who has no partners and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم. “O
you who have believed, fear Allah as He should be feared and do not die except as Muslims [in
submission to Him].” ‘Ali-‘Imran: 102.’ “O mankind, fear your Lord, who created you from
one soul and created from it its mate and dispersed from both of them many men and women.
And fear Allah, through whom you ask one another, and the wombs. Indeed, Allah is ever, over
you, an Observer.” ‘An-Nisa: 1.’ “O you who have believed, fear Allah and speak words of
appropriate justice.” “He will [then] amend for you your deeds and forgive you your sins. And
whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger has certainly attained a great attainment.” ‘Al-Ahzab:
70-71.’


To proceed:
These few words are essential for the one who has the slightest desire of learning about his
Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, his biography and his guidance. Ibn Al-Qayyim may Allah have mercy upon him
said: “If the worshipper’s happiness in this life and the next is related to the guidance of the
Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, then it is an obligation upon all who truly advise themselves and love to attain
salvation and happiness to know from his biography, guidance and significance that which will
exclude him from those who are ignorant of this and make him of those considered to be from
among his followers. The people regarding this are of those who know little, much or are
deprived and all bounty is in the hand of Allah - He grants it to whom He wills and Allah is the
possessor of great bounty.


I ask Allah to grant us all love for the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and obedience to His commands and staying
away from what He has prohibited us from O Allah, send prayers upon Muhammad and the
followers of Muhammad, just as You sent prayers upon Ibraheem and upon the followers of
Ibraheem. Verily, You are full of praise and majesty. O Allah, send blessings upon Mohammad
and upon the family of Muhammad, just as You sent blessings upon Ibraheem and upon the
family of Ibraheem. Verily, You are full of praise and majesty.
