WHY?
Assalamualaikum.
Bismillah.
Bismillah.
Why we must studying Sirah Rasulullah (History
of the Prophets)? First of all, what is Sirah? Sirah means a path one takes
from one place to another, a path a person takes during his or her life time,
includes attitudes, behavior, reactions and biography. So, studying Sirah is
the top one way to increase our love for Prophet ((ص. There are no other ways as powerful and
effective to replenish our love to Prophet (ص) than by studying his life and times. From the
Sirah, we can gain religious knowledge, we can learn about manners, morals and
how and where we must proceed our knowledge by
the Quran and hadith. Also, from the Sirah we get to know how he was as
a leader. What are the advantages of learning this subject in one’s life? There
are three advantages to this.
Firstly, helps us to understand and educates
us about the meaning of the Quran. The Quran is a very profound book and it
cannot be understood without context. The Quran in some ways depends on the
Sirah for it is full explanation or meaning. It sheds light on why the verse
was revealed and the context of the revelation. In order to get a full
understanding of the Quran we need to get a full understanding of the Sirah as
well. The Sirah gives explanation, so understanding and knowing about Sirah
will help us to understand these verse. For instance of surah al Ahzab, Al
Imran, An Nisa and so on the words dealing with the battles.
Secondly, His life illustrates the methodological
steps of the Islamic movement.
As we can see
the step in Rasulullah (ص) life, the steps in establishment of islam and of the
islamic state. The stages in da’wah. It is important for us to understand this,
as it was divinely directed, so it is the best guadience for us, on how to
practice and establish islam. These events were all planned by Allah SWT. The
Quran and Sunnah are verbal teachings. How to apply? We need look at the
application of these teachings into
action, and we find all of this in life of Rasulullah (ص) and companions. Apart from that studying Sirah is ibadah, insyaAllah
if we attend a halaqa of Sirah, it is a gathering of dzikr. It is a gathering
of angels. We are surrounded by mercy and tranquility. Everything you do to
develop this love will be a source of reward for you.
Finally, the
Sirah raises our hopes, litfs our spirits and our Iman. After studying the
torture and turmoil that companions and the Prophet (ص) went through, it helps us during our times of troubles and
turmoil. It gives us hope that as long as we stay upon the truth there is
always hope at the end. Allah SWT reminds the Prophet in the Quran of the
stories of the Prophet of the past and you find that the Prophet (ص) Iman increasing due this. Allah says : ‘And all we relate to
you of the accounts of the messengers is to trengthen your heart therewith; and
in this has come to you the truth and an admonition, and a reminder to the
believers’ Surah Hud : 120.
In short, by studying Sirah Rasulullah, is
the life of the greatest. Rasulullah (ص) was the greatest man on earth. Michael Hart wrote a book
called ‘The 100: A ranking of the Most Influential Person in History’. Loving
him is ibadah, part of obeying Allah SWT and it is part of our deen. Allah
says: ‘Certainly you have in the Messenger of Allah an excellent exemplar for
him who hopes in Allah and latter day and remember Allah much’ – Surah Ahzab :
21. We must studying Sirah for future and our daily life. If not now, then
when?
