Seerah: The Life of Prophet Muhammed (saw)

This session covers the parents of the Prophet Muhammad saw, his birth, infant years and the reaction of some who were anticipating his coming. We learn more examples of how Allah can use anybody as an instrument to bring about what he desires as was the case with Abdul al-Muttalib.

Picking up where we left Abdul Mutalib, this session covers the events of Surah Al-Fil (105) with Abraha comanding a military force headed up by the famed war elephants as they attempt to destory the Kabah in retaliation for the desecration of their church.

This session covers the struggle for power between the Quresh and the Khuza tribe resulting in the Quresh taking back control of Mecca and becomnig the custodians of the Khaba. 

We are also introduced to Abdul Muttalib and the role he plays as an ancestor to the prophet Muhammad SAW.

We continue the story of Dhu Nuwas and the resulting conflict that comes from his actions of killing the people in the trench. The Negus dispatches two comanders Aryat and Abraha, fulfiling the dream of an Abasynian invasion of Yemen.  We explore how idol worship is introduced and goes onto further permiate the Arab lands.

We conclude the story of the boy and the king and lay the foundation of what will bring the Abyssinians into Yemen leading into the stroy of Surat Al Fil.

Continuing to cover the many events that shape the cultural landscape ahead of the birth of Prophet Muhammad saw this session covers the Kattan tribe, Amir bin Amr and the foundation for what would become the Jurruhm and Huzzah tribes; a migration of Persians into the Arab lay-lands bringing with them the downfall of monotheism and introducing the Arabs to idol worship.

We begin by introducing the framework of understanding the Seerah and its importance in shaping the belief of a Muslim. The first session serves as a prelude that will establish events leading to the introduction of the Prophet Muhammad SAW into the world.
