Following the Way of Muhammad ﷺ and Understanding Qurʾan

Ibn Hazm says, "Whoever seeks the pre-eminence of the Hereafter, the wisdom of this life, the just purpose, and the embodiment of morality and character, let him follow Muhammad, the Prophet of Allāh." So Muhammad ﷺ is the embodiment of Khuluq — the perfect character, and by studying his Seerah we will be more able to follow his way.

There are some Āyāt in Qurʾān that are independent of the circumstances of their revelation, like for example, the Āyāt about Al-Ākhirah, Ar-Raqāʾiq — these are independent of the circumstances, but then there are some Āyāt that were dealing with events that were happening in the time of Muhammad ﷺ. So you would have some Āyāt revealed prior to an event, some Āyāt revealed concurrent with an event, and some Āyāt revealed after an event. Seerah would give us the explanation of these Āyāt, like for example Sūrah Al-Ahzāb; many Āyāt in Sūrah Al-Ahzāb were revealed regarding the Battle of Al-Ahzāb; many Āyāt in Sūrah Āl ʿImrān were relating to events that happened in the time of Rasūlullāh ﷺ.
