THE HOLY PROPHET (SALLALLAHU ALIAHI WASALLAM) PART - 2

By thy life (O Muhammad) they moved blindly in the frenzy of approaching death.
 Surah Hajr (15:72).

By the command of Allah SWT, the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) presented His blessed life as the proof of Islam. He (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Say: If Allah had so willed I should not have recited it to you nor would He have made it known to you. I dwelt among you a whole lifetime before it (came to me). Have ye then no sense?
Surah Younus (10:16)

Meaning of “Seerah”: 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.
