The Sirah of the Prophet (pbuh): A Contemporary and Original Analysis

Product Information

In regards to religious liberties, Qadhi believes that Islamic teachings don't support or require that Muslim business owners discriminate or refuse service to LGBTQ individuals. Nonetheless, Qadhi expresses concern that Islamic institutions may face issues if they speak in a vulgar manner and employ or fire employees that don't conform to conservative beliefs regarding sexual behaviors. [22] Death threat by Islamic State of Iraq and the Syria [ edit ] Then another student (or to be more precise, student of a student) called Ibn Hisham (ابن هشام) (d. 218 AH) came along. His name was Abd al-Malik ibn Hisham (عبد الملك بن هشام), and he authored al-Seerat al-Nabawiyyah (السيرة النبوية - the Life of the Prophet) a.k.a. Seerat Ibn Hisham (سيرة ابن هشام - Seerah by Ibn Hisham). The average Muslim should be aware of these two sourcebooks of the seerah: Seerat Ibn Ishaq (primary) & Seerat Ibn Hisham (secondary). The difference between these two books is: Ibn Hisham realized Ibn Ishaq's volumes were too big, so he decided to summarize Seerat Ibn Ishaq. He did not add anything but rather subtracted. He deleted and made it into a book that is much more manageable, and now it is available in 4 volumes. Again, in those days there was no printing press, so if you wanted a book, you had to write it cover to cover — this is one of the reasons why he reduced. Also, Ibn Ishaq was one of the first people to write a history of humanity — from Adam AS to Nuh to Ibrahim to Musa all the way to the Prophet PBUH; so Ibn Hisham deleted this entire section of earlier history and other information about the life of the Prophet PBUH he deemed unnecessary. Over time, people began copying Ibn Hisham; and today, if you want to buy a copy of the book, you have to buy Seerat Ibn Hisham (سيرة ابن هشام), you won't find Seerat Ibn Ishaq anymore.

(Note: These are the holiest cities on earth. But who knew this and really cared about Makkah and Madinah until the Prophet PBUH lived there? As for Madinah, it *became* holy in the life of the Prophet PBUH, as he said, "I am making Madinah holy like Ibrahim made Makkah holy [by the permission of Allah].") In July 2010, Qadhi was selected to participate in an official delegation of eight U.S. imams and Jewish religious leaders to visit the concentration camps at Auschwitz and Dachau. The imams subsequently released a joint statement condemning anti-Semitism and labeling Holocaust denial as against the ethics of Islam. [27]

i) It is the study of the life and times of the single best human to ever live. The Prophet PBUH said, "I am the leader & the paragon of virtue of the children of Adam, and I am not saying this out of arrogance." It also helps us to understand the Quran. The Quran is a very profound book that you cannot understand without context. For example, Surah al-Duha (سورة الضحى), "Your Lord has not abandoned you, nor is He displeased" [Quran, 93:3] — we cannot understand this verse until we understand the seerah and see when and why this verse was revealed. The context is that the Prophet PBUH was worried and concerned that for weeks wahy (وحي - revelation) hadn't come down, so he began thinking, "Maybe Allah has abandoned me." This is the first year of revelation, and shaytan (شيطان - devil) is giving him bad thoughts; so Allah SWT revealed Surah al-Duha to comfort him PBUH. Until we understand this, the surah doesn't make much sense. So the Quran gains meaning by studying the seerah. The Quran. The number one source is the Quran. This is a source that is overlooked by many. But it was revealed during the seerah, so it caters to situations that arose during his life, and it references almost every single major event that happened during the life and even before the time of the Prophet PBUH. It is the best source for many reasons: Reconciling Reason and Revelation in the Writings of Ibn Taymiyyah (d. 728/1328): An Analytical Study of Ibn Taymiyyah’s Dar' at-ta’aarod, PhD Dissertation, 2013, Yale University. However, there was a very famous scholar by the name of Dr. Hamidullah (حميد الله) (d. 2002 CE) came along, he became one of the greatest scholars/researchers in Orientalism, and he discovered many manuscripts of Islam in various lands of Europe; and one of them was a partial copy of [Seerat] Ibn Ishaq — around ¼ of the entire book. He edited and published it, and when now we compare Ibn Ishaq to Ibn Hisham, we find that it is exactly as Ibn Hisham said— he simply cut off around half of the work of Ibn Ishaq. What did he cut off? Long poetry, the lineage of the Arabs, etc. So now when we read Ibn Hisham, we know for sure that we are reading something written just around 100 years after the death of the Prophet PBUH, and this is amazing.

Qadhi denied stating that the Holocaust was a hoax or that it was false propaganda, but in 2008 admitted that he had briefly held mistaken beliefs about the Holocaust, and had said "that Hitler never actually intended to massacre the Jews, he actually wanted to expel them to neighboring lands." Qadhi said that his views were wrong and said "I admit it was an error". [26] Qadhi added that he firmly believes "that the Holocaust was one of the worst crimes against humanity that the 20th century has witnessed" and that "the systematic dehumanization of the Jews in the public eye of the Germans was a necessary precursor" for that tragedy. [26] More generally, he said that he "fell down a slippery slope", expressing anger at actions of the Israeli government in the form of anti-Semitic remarks he later recognized as wrong. [8] In January 2010, the British The Daily Telegraph reported that in 2001 Qadhi had described the Holocaust as a hoax and false propaganda, and had said that " Hitler never intended to mass-destroy the Jews." [24] [25] The following year The New York Times said he said that most Islamic studies professors in the United States are Jews who "want to destroy us." [8] By studying the seerah, we also see the life and times of the best generation who ever lived: the generation of the sahaba RA. Allah says, "Allah is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Allah" [Quran, 9:100]. And the Prophet PBUH said, "The best generation is my generation." Ibn Mas'ud (ابن مسعود) RA said, "Allah looked at the hearts of His servants and He chose the brightest and the purest heart to be that of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH. And then He chose the purest next and made them the sahaba of the Prophet PBUH." So by studying the seerah, we also study the stories of Abu Bakr, Umar, Anas, Jabir (جابر), Sa'd ibn Mu'adh (سعد بن معاذ), Talha (طلحة), Zubayr (زبير), et al., and our Imangoes up by listening to the lives of these legendary people, their sacrifices, struggles, perseverance, and patience. They are all role models for us. According to a weak athar (أثر - tradition), the Prophet PBUH said, "My sahaba are like the stars. Whichever one you follow, you are going to be guided." We wish we had these early books, but unfortunately, we don't. But we do have books that were written in the very next generation which shows us that seerah was compiled even before hadith because of its importance. Indeed, of the perfection of Allah's wisdom is that He sent down human beings —people like us, flesh and blood— so that we don't say, "But we can't be like them." They are born of women, they marry and have children just like us. The only difference is they are chosen by Allah and are made role models.
