Introduction: The study of Islam is incomplete without studying about the one who found and established it. Knowledge of the Prophetic Biography (Seerah) is necessary for every Muslim and sharing it with everyone is a responsibility. This subject is broken down into 3 modules. One covered in each year of the scholarship program.
The 3 modules are: 1. Before Birth - Prophethood 2. Prophethood - Migration to Madinah 3. Migration to Madinah - Death
In this first module you will cover the Prophetic life from "Before Birth till Prophethood". The Shaykh covers Seerah in a unique style where he looks at the arguments from the orentalists and gives rational rebuttals to the points made on why RasoolAllah (saw) is a Messenger of God. You will also cover the various differences of opionion from the Maturidi and Ashari perspectives on certain matters of Seerah, such as the opinion held by Asharis that RasoolAllah (saw) became a Prophet at the age of 40, whereas the Maturidi opinion being that he was a Prophet before the creation of Adam (as).
