What would the Prophet (may God bless and grant him peace) say if he walked in our lives? What would he do to help us navigate our problems, our aspirations, our challenges, even our despair? Strange as the question seems, Muslim tradition has always insisted that the answer to this is available through an ongoing reflection of his life - his Sirah. So much so that some would recommend it be reviewed once every year.
This course promises to be a thought provoking and life-enhancing, covering the life and times of the Prophet Mohammed reimagined. It covers a detailed analysis of key events, drawing practical lessons for today’s Muslim community in the area of spirituality, family, politics, identity and religion. If there has ever been a time when Muslims needed to review afresh the Sirah, it is today!
- As well as a study of the Makkan period, we will cover:
- How to nourish the soul to withstand even the greatest tests
- Instilling the core of faith
- The importance of family in the Prophetic Sirah
- The fiqh of Da’wa
- The importance of quality over quantity
-
