Allaah SubhaanaHu wa Ta'ala Says, "Indeed in the Messenger of Allaah (Muhammad ﷺ) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes in (the Meeting with) Allaah and the Last Day and remembers Allaah much". [Al-Ahzab, Ayah 21]
A few benefits of studying the Seerah may be summarised as follows: (By Shaykh Arshad Abu Jafar حفظه الله)
1. Seerah is an explanation of how to live Islam and apply it correctly. If one seeks to understand the Quran, it is necessary to study the Seerah.
2. The more you know about a person, the more you love them. When we study the Seerah of the Prophet (ﷺ), we love him more, and respect him on a deeper level.
3. Strengthening our belief and resolve. Knowing the status of who we are following will prevent doubts from entering our hearts.
4. Beyond purely Islamic lessons, the Seerah is filled with wisdom and morals. It teaches us how to interact in a smart and constructive way with those who love us, those who hate us, those who are close to us, those who have rights upon us, those who are less fortunate than us, and so on. The Seerah is applicable in many situations.
5. Similar to the previous point, the Seerah is a rich source of guidance for all members of society because the Prophet (ﷺ) fulfilled many roles simultaneously and balanced them perfectly. In modern terms, he (ﷺ) was a father, husband, political leader, counsellor in all affairs, teacher of Quran and fiqh, devout worshipper in his own time, and so on and so forth. As a result, everyone can learn something from the Seerah.
May Allaah help us learn more about our Prophet (ﷺ) and emulate his example in each and every field of life.
