To be complete people, Allāh has given us the institution of marriage – the sacred union, between a man and woman, under the sight of Allāh. As Prophet Muhammad was maturing and developing in Mecca, he too would look for his spouse and would find her in the person of Khadijah the daughter of Khuwaylid. She would give him comfort, support, love and her wealth to promote Islam and propagate the message. Join us in this episode as we review the marriage of the century.

Everyone needs to work to support themselves and their lifestyle – and the prophets of Allāh are no exception to this rule. Having lost his father before he was born, how, where and by whom would Prophet Muhammad learn the skills of business and commerce – a requirement given the era he was living in. In this episode we review his relationship with his beloved uncle, Abu Ṭālib and his learning the ropes of business.

Coming into this world as an orphan, ʿAbdullāh ibn Abdul Muttalib died before his son, the final prophet of Allāh could be born. In the rough and unforgiving climate of the Arabian Peninsula, who would be there to take care of the young Muhammad? In this episode, we study who took care of, supported, protected and nurtured Prophet Muhammad when he was a young child growing up in Mecca.

Prophet Jesus, undeniably one of the greatest prophets which Allāh had sent to guide humanity managed to bring countless people back to Allāh, after having many people of the Children of Israel deviate. However his greatest sign would be to introduce the final Prophet, Muhammad  - or as he would refer to him, Ahmad. Why is the final messenger introduced as Ahmad and not Muhammad  and what was the reaction to Prophet Jesus and his call to the final messenger of Allāh? In this episode we review the invitation of Prophet Jesus to Islam and Prophet Muhammad.

People make prayers and supplications to Allāh on a daily basis all around the world. Sometimes, those prayers are immediately answered and they get what they desire. At other times, it may take days, weeks, months or years – and in the case of the supplication of Prophet Ibrāhīm for a prophet to come from Mecca, it took over 3,000 years to materialize. In this episode, we journey through the supplication.

What was the journey that the immaculate light (noor) of Prophet Muhammad made from his pre-Earthly existence through the past prophets such as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Moses, and others until finally reaching to his father, ʿAbdullāh ibn Abd al-Muttalib? In this episode, we follow the Divinely-created light of Prophet Muhammad as it travels through the loins of the various prophets of the past.

Where was Prophet Muhammad  before he came to Earth? Is there some place where the souls ‘reside’ before they are permitted to come to Earth? What, if anything, does the Quran say about our pre-existence and “how” did the light of Prophet Muhammad make its way from the pre-worldly existence to Mecca? In this episode, we try and trace the light of Prophet Muhammad before his birth.
