Meaning of

From the arrival of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) to His passing away into the presence of Allah SWT, all aspects of His life, His personality, His miracles, the conditions of His life, His sayings, etc. are termed as Seerah.

To understand Islam and to act upon it, it is necessary for every Muslim to be aware of the matchless character of its founder.  Allah SWT has decreed His acts and deeds to be the Shariah (the Islamic code of life) because He (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) decrees pure things as permissible (Halal) and impure things as prohibited (Haraam).  Allah SWT has made the personality and the character of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) as the most perfect model for the entire humanity and has made it a source of guidance.  Allah SWT has declared the Seerah of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) as a beacon of guidance and that to follow the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) is to follow Him.

Whoso obeyeth the messenger hath obeyed Allah, and whoso turneth away: We have not sent thee as a warder over them. Surah Nisa (4:80)

Verily in the messenger of Allah ye have a good example for him who looketh unto Allah and the Last Day, and remembereth Allah much. Surah Ahzaab (21:21)

Those who follow the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam), eternal blessings and never-ending ni’mah are their reward.
