All praise be to Allah and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone who has no partner. And I bear witness that Muhammad is His Servant and Messenger. These are selections from the biography of the Mother of the Believers and the wife of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She was born 15 years before the Year of the Elephant and was one of the honorable women of Quraysh. When she had grown up, she was known with "the chaste" because she refused to do as the women of the [...]

Prophet Muhammad’s ﷺ trust in One God Allah, was absolute and had never caused him to drift with the tide of events. Revelation of the Quran had reminded him that he must never forget to say “Insha Allah” (If God so wills) when he planned to act, and that the memory of God must be associated with humility, (especially in regard to his own powers as a human being). Prophet Muhammad ﷺ had been planning a Hijrah (emigration) to Medinah for almost two years, and nothing had been left to chance. Only after making intelligent and careful use of his human powers had he trusted himself to [...]

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. The battle of Badr was the most important among the Islamic battles of Destiny.

I wish there had been an objective study to the biography of the Prophet [I mean dividing the Prophet's biography into topics] as (the topics of Tafsir) in which incidents and events are arranged according to their topics not according to time such as the topic of Jihad, Salah, manners, creeds, transactions, and other issues, then commenting and benefitting from them such as Fiqh-us-Sirah [understanding the Prophet's biography]. This [...]

Wisdom and politics Hypocrites were a big hindrance before the call to Islam and did every possible thing to destroy the religion from inside, unfasten the Muslim society, and weaken their power. However, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ managed to avoid clash by his wisdom and policy, guarded the security of Medina and its people, and overpassed this hindrance by patience, forbearance, and good word. He faced their mockery with tolerance and good treatment to the extent that he was seeking forgiveness for them until he was forbidden to do so. However, some Companions could not stand that situation, particularly when `Abdullah [...]
