The objective of narrating the biography of the Beloved, Chosen Prophet Muhammad (PBBUH) is not to retell stories; there are important aims behind this piece of work, which are outlined Learning and Extracting Lessons from His Life The Prophet’s (PBBUH) 1 life offers numerous lessons that we need to pause and reflect on. They should serve as a lamp and a guide for us to live by. If we wish to talk about the best teacher in history, or the best politician, or the best military commander, or the best father and husband, or the best healer of the hearts and souls – it is the Beloved, Chosen Prophet Muhammad (PBBUH). He is indeed the greatest of Allah’s Messengers and the Imam of all prophets. Allah, Glorified be He, describes him in the noble Qur’an, “Indeed, you (Muhammad) are of a great moral character.” (Al-Qalam 68:4) We should drink insatiably of this river of knowledge and learn as many lessons and teachings as we can about both our religion and life’s dealings. Reviving the Love of the Messenger of Allah (PBBUH) in Our Hearts The love of the Prophet (PBBUH) is not something optional or to be taken lightly. It is an obligation from Allah (Exalted be He) put upon every believer by His “The Prophet is closer to the believers than their own selves.” (Al- Ahzab 33:6) A true believer’s love for the Messenger of Allah (PBBUH) should be greater and more deserving than their love for themselves. The Companions and Their Love for the Prophet (PBBUH): The Companions had full realization of the importance of loving Prophet Muhammad (PBBUH). Their love for him was greater than their love for themselves.
