From the author’s preface:

“… O dear student, seeker, who wish to present himself before your Lord; you should know, indeed, that when you ask me for advice in relation to the path that you are seeking, I feel at this point there is nothing ready for presentation. However, I do feel that I should forward a few points, short and simple, on the manners and the way in which a student seeker thread the path to Allah, the Exalted, with some brief uncomplicated statements.”

The Medinan period of the Prophetic Biography (Seerah) takes us into the life of the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) starting from the Great Migration (Hijrah) to Madina, including his 10-year residency there, until his passing and a brief account of what occurred in the 30 year reign of the Four Righteous Caliphs afterward.  Each lesson will look at a specific period of time, and the events and episodes which took place during those times, and what lessons a Muslim can take from those incidents to benefit their faith, practice and interaction with others.

This special programme brought together two of contemporary Islam’s prominent scholars, Habib Umar bin Hafiz and Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad, providing a rare opportunity not only for young people but also all those who work in the frontlines of community relations to explore and get clarity on the faith’s teachings on a variety of challenging contemporary issues, particularly the challenges of living, working and making a better community together.
