Most Merciful; all praise belongs to Allah. May Allah grant our Prophet Muhammad the highest mention and bestow peace upon him. Given that the nobility7 of knowledge is connected to the nobility7 of the science being studied, the study of the Prophet’s biography IIS is from the noblest and most important fields of study7. This is because studying the strah of the Prophet lit is connected to the study of the noblest of creation — our Prophet Muhammad m - The Muslim who takes our Prophet Muhammad 0 as his imam, exemplar, and model is in dire need of studying his biography. Your ‘aqidah will not be correct unless your ‘aqidah is like the ‘aqidah of the Prophet tgl. Your prayer, \-akdh, fasting, Hajj, and all other acts of worship will not be correct unless they are in agreement with what the Prophet 0 was upon. The details of these matters are known from the details of the life of the Prophet Studying his life brings about belief in him, because knowing about his affairs is part of believing in him. There are some matters that are obligatory to know about him, and if you are deficient in knowing these matters, your faith will be deficient. However, the more you learn about him, the more your faith in him will increase, and then your overall imdn will increase. The biography of the Prophet 0 is not similar to the biography of 1 This explanation is extracted from a lecture delivered by Shaykh Muhammad al-‘Aq!l, mav Allah preserve him. 6 Introduction by Shaykh Muhammad al-'Aqil any other person. As for the biographies of other than him, then only a small portion of their biographies have been preserved. In contrast, the Prophet’s biography Hf has been narrated to us by his Lord, and He has taken the responsibility of preserving it. (j^jaSlaJ 4J Ijlj j^lll Uijj dP-j ^ Verily, it is We Who have sent down the reminder (i.e., the Qur'an) and surely, We are its guardian (from corruption). [Surah al-Hijr 15:9] How many verses are there that mention the names of the Prophet H, how he was sent, his worship, his supplication, the reality of his da’wah, what he encountered, and his human nature? There are many verses, and these are one of the sources of his biography; and Allah has entrusted Himself with the preservation of this in His Book. Likewise, his biography is preserved by what has been narrated from his Companions 0 , from those ahadlth with sound chains of narration. Consequently, his biography is true, and he is the trustworthy one who is believed. His sirah is not [made of] ancient tales or fabricated stories, nor is it a game for the people to add to it or take away from it what they like. Rather, his biography has been preserved for us just as his Sunnah has been preserved for us. Those who give care and concern to his Sunnah, his statements and actions, also give care and concern to his biography. For this reason, the scholars of the ummah have undertaken the task of authenticating what has been transmitted from the Prophet's biography fit, affirming what is authentic and what is weak. The innovator may come with a book of sirah saying that the Prophet Hf did this or that. We say, first we need to authenti­ cate

  • Talha Ibn Ubaydullah
    TALHA IBN UBAYDULLAH Talhah left Makkah in one of Quraysh's trade caravans between Makkah and ash- Sham. Although he was younger than the other merchants and lacked their experience, his wit and cleverness permitted him to surpass any of them and succeed in acquiring more transactions. When the caravan reached Busrah, a town in Syria, the ciders among the merchants rushed towards its busy market buying and selling. Talhah was coming and going in the marketplace which was crowded with people coming from all places, when he heard a man calling, "O merchants is there any one of you coming from Makkah?" Talhah turned around and saw a monk. Being the one closest to him he answered him. The monk asked, "Has Ahmad appeared among you?" "Who is Ahmad?" asked Talhah. "He is the son of Abdullah," replied the monk, "and this is the month he is due to come forward. He is the last of the prophets, and he will appear from your land, the land of the sacred House. He will emigrate to a land of black rocks, that has date palm groves, its salty soil oozes water. Do hasten to believe in him young man." This conversation with the monk was to change the life of Talhah. Talhah prepared his mount, rounded up his camels, gathered his goods, and hurried back towards Makkah, leaving the rest of the caravan behind him. There, he asked his wife, "Anything new had happened while I was away?" "Yes," she said, "Muhammad ibn Abdullah has come forth, pretending he was a prophet, and Abu Bakr has followed him." Talhah knew Abu Bakr well.

However, by the sixth century AD, so completely were their scriptures and teachings distorted that had the founder or the Prophet of any one of them returned to Earth, he would unquestionably have refused his own religion and denounced its followers as apos- tates and idolaters. Judaism had, by then, been reduced to an amalgam of dead rituals and sacraments with- out any spark of life left in it. Also, being a religion upholding a strong racial identity, it never had a message for other nations or for the good of the humanity at large. Through mysticism and magic many polytheistic ideas and customs again found their way among the people, and the Talmud confirms the fact that idolatrous worship is seductive.
