Why must we study Seerah (Biography Of Prophet Muhammed saw)?
Studying the life of Prophet Muhammad [sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam] is like studying history of Islam.
To develop the proper love of Rasul Allah [sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam] in our hearts
Allah SWT says in the Holy Quran [9:24]:
Say: If it be that your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your mates, or your kindred; the wealth that ye have gained; the commerce in which ye fear a decline: or the dwellings in which ye delight - are dearer to you than Allah, or His Messenger, or the striving in His cause;- then wait until Allah brings about His decision: and Allah guides not the rebellious.
To follow the way of the Rasul Allah [sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam]
Allah SWT says in the Holy Quran [3:31]:
Say (O Muhammad): "If ye do love Allah, Follow me: Allah will love you and forgive you your sins: For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
Rasul Allah [sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam] was a political leader, a military leader, an imam, a husband, a father, a neighbour, a teacher....his life provides an example for all aspects of our lives, whatever place we are in, in whatever times
To help understand the Quran
His life illustrates the methodological steps of the Islamic Movement
Studying seerah is ibadah
Studying seerah is essential for helping us develop an Islamic identity and character
Life of Rasul Allah [sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam] is a testimony of his Prophethood
