The Life of Muhammad ﷺ — Testimony of Prophethood and the Greatest Man
Studying the life of Muhammad ﷺ is itself a proof of his Prophethood. He is the greatest man who ever lived, as testified by Muslims and non-Muslims alike.
The greatest miracle of Muhammad ﷺ is Qurʾān, and then Rasūlullāh ﷺ has many other miracles other than that, but by just studying his life in itself is an evidence of his Prophethood. Here you have a man who for 40 years was leading a normal life. The outstanding thing about the life of Muhammad ﷺ in the first 40 years was his morality and character, but Rasūlullāh ﷺ did not show any signs of aspiration to power or influence — none of that at all. And then suddenly after the age of 40, Rasūlullāh ﷺ brings about the greatest change that the world has ever seen; that is an irony, that is a miracle.
Rasūlullāh ﷺ was illiterate, he could not read or write, and then he presents the world with the greatest Book that was ever produced. There is no way to explain his Seerah except to admit that he was a Nabī from Allāh جل جلاله. It is impossible for a person to achieve what Muhammad ﷺ achieved without being assisted by Allāh جل جلاله through Revelation. So it is a testimony of his Prophethood, it is one of Dalāʾil An-Nubuwwah.
