Seerah as the History of Islam

The life of Muhammad ﷺ is the history of Islam. The Companions taught Seerah to their children the same waythey taught Qurʾan.


The life of Muhammad ﷺ is the history of Islām; you are studying a concise history of Islām by studying the life of Muhammad ﷺ. In his Seerah we would find situations and incidences that would help us in everything that we would need to know in our life of Daʿwah. So the life of Muhammad ﷺ is really the history of Islām; we are not just studying the biography of a person, we are studying the history of our religion.

"Muhammad Ibn Saʿd Bin Waqqās — Saʿd Ibn Waqqās is one of Al-ʿAsharah Al-Mubashhirīn Fil Jannah, he is one of the 10 who were given glad-tidings of Paradise — his son Muhammad says, "Our father would teach us the battles of Rasūlullāh ﷺ, he would teach us the Seerah of Rasūlullāh ﷺ, and he would tell us that these are the traditions of your fathers, so study them.""

Narrated by Muhammad Ibn Saʿd Ibn Waqqās
