The beginning of the revelation.
At the beginning of this book, it is mentioned that the Prophet ﷺ used to go to the Cave of Hira for worship, and Hazrat Khadija (رضي الله عنها) would provide him with food for a few days. Then, one day, Jibril (عليه السلام) appeared with the revelation and then the Prophet ﷺ began his formal invitation to the faith.
Early Struggles.
The early struggles of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, as described in Golden Seerat, reflect his unwavering determination and deep commitment to spreading the message of Islam. After the first revelation in the Cave of Hira, his life became a shining example of patience, courage, and trust in Allah.
When the Prophet ﷺ announced his prophethood, he faced fierce opposition from the Quraysh in Makkah. They mocked him, leveled false accusations against him, and subjected him and his companions to severe persecution. Despite these hardships, the Prophet ﷺ continued to call people to worship one Allah with wisdom and patience.
The greatest challenge of his struggle was the social and political opposition. The leaders of the Quraysh saw the message of Islam as a threat to their power and traditions. They offered the Prophet ﷺ wealth, status, and unity, but he firmly rejected any compromise on his mission. He ﷺ said:
“By Allah, if they placed the sun in my right hand and the moon in my left hand to make me abandon this matter, I would not abandon it until Allah makes it victorious or I perish in the process.”
During these early years, the Prophet ﷺ emphasized the importance of character, truth, and unity among his small but growing followers. The Seerat recounts how his companions endured unimaginable hardships for their faith, and how the Prophet ﷺ empowered them with his example and trust in Allah’s plan.
These early years of struggle laid the foundation for the spread of Islam and serve as a powerful reminder for all those striving for truth and justice. Golden Seerat beautifully captures these moments, offering profound lessons and strengthening the faith of readers of all ages.
The qualities of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his leadership.
In Golden Seerah, the qualities of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his leadership are beautifully highlighted. He is shown as a compassionate and merciful figure, always kind to his followers and even his enemies. His integrity and honesty earned him the title “Al-Amin” (The Trustworthy) long before his prophethood.
The Prophet ﷺ demonstrated remarkable patience and perseverance, enduring immense hardships while spreading Islam. He was also courageous, standing firm in his mission despite the dangers he faced. Despite his high status, he lived a humble and simple life, always sharing in the struggles of his companions.
His leadership was strategic and visionary, as he worked to establish a just society based on ethical principles. He was known for his fairness and treated everyone equally, no matter their status. Most importantly, his unwavering trust in Allah (Tawakkul) guided his decisions and actions, setting an example for Muslims to follow in all aspects of life.
The migration (Hijrah) of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ from Makkah to Madinah.
In Golden Seerah, the migration (Hijrah) of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ from Makkah to Madinah is portrayed as a turning point in the history of Islam. Faced with increasing persecution in Makkah, the Prophet ﷺ received divine guidance to move to Madinah, where the Muslims could practice their faith freely. The journey was dangerous, as the Quraysh plotted to kill the Prophet ﷺ, but he and his companion, Abu Bakr (RA), managed to escape safely.
When the Prophet ﷺ arrived in Madinah, he was warmly welcomed by the Ansar, the local Muslims, who pledged their support. The Prophet ﷺ immediately began to establish the foundation of a new Islamic community. He built the Masjid al-Nabawi, which became the center of religious, social, and political activities.
One of his first acts was the creation of the Constitution of Madinah, which promoted justice, coexistence, and mutual respect among the diverse communities in the city. The Prophet ﷺ also worked to establish a just society based on Islamic principles, ensuring the protection of individual rights, especially those of women, and emphasizing charity and community welfare.
The migration and the establishment of the Islamic state in Madinah marked the beginning of a powerful, cohesive Muslim community and laid the groundwork for the spread of Islam across the Arabian Peninsula. It was a significant moment in Islamic history, turning Islam from a persecuted faith into a thriving state based on faith, justice, and governance.
The spread of Islam and its eventual victory.
In Golden Seerah, the spread of Islam and its eventual victory are shown as the result of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ’s leadership, wisdom, and unwavering faith in Allah. After migrating to Madinah, Islam began to grow and flourish, with the Prophet ﷺ uniting various tribes under the banner of Islam and establishing a just society.
Key battles like the Battle of Badr, where the Muslims triumphed despite being outnumbered, played a significant role in boosting the Muslim community’s morale. Even though the Battle of Uhud was a setback, it taught valuable lessons about unity and trust in Allah.
