Seerah of Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) As Educator | CSS Islamic Studies Notes

According to the Quran, the Prophet (PBUH) is responsible for tabligh (delivering the message): “O Messenger, proclaim the (message) which hath been sent to thee from thy Lord. If thou didst not, thou wouldst not have fulfilled and proclaimed His mission. And Allah will defend thee from men (who mean mischief). For Allah guided not those who reject Faith.” (Al-Maida 5/67). “The Messenger’s duty is but to proclaim (the message). But Allah knoweth all that ye reveal and ye conceal” (Al-Maida 5/99). The lexicographical meaning of “tabligh” is to deliver, inform, and spread. As a term, it points to the Prophet’s delivering the message to humans exactly as he received it from Allah. This is one of the inalienable qualities of prophets. If the thing to be delivered is information, a message, or news, then teaching is an issue, as well. In fact, some dictionaries define “tabligh” as teaching. This shows the relation between “tabligh” and teaching.

CSS Islamic Studies | Seerah of Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) As Individual

Born on the 12th of the Islamic month of Rabbi-ul-awwal in Makkah, the Holy Prophet (PBUH) was born in the darkest times of Arabia. There was no concept of religion; people worshipped idols made of stones, trees, rivers, the sun and even the moon. Heinous acts such as murder, rape, adultery, gambling was of the norm back then. Female infants were buried alive and grown women were treated as objects. During a dark time like this, where all the attractions of that sinful world were tempting enough to sway any person from the path of righteousness, the Holy Prophet (PBUH) grew up with totally different beliefs about that community as compared to other people. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) lost his father before his birth and then his mother at the age of 6 and his loving grandfather as well at the age of 8. He was then brought up under the protection of his uncle.

Islamic Belief & Its Impact on Individual & Society and the Fundamental of Islam

Islamic Belief & Its Impact on Individual & Society and the Fundamental of Islam

1. The Reality and Importance of Belief:

The source of all human actions is the mind. There are two states of the mind with regard to it being the source of actions. The first is that there are no particular concepts deeply embedded in it. Instead, various scattered thoughts pass through it and whichever amongst these are strong become the stimuli for actions that are undertaken by the possessor of this mind. The second state is one in which the mind no longer remains the abode of such stray thoughts, and instead a few distinctive concepts become so deeply rooted in that the bearer’s practical life permanently comes under their influence. Instead of taking unfocused actions, this mind becomes the center of organized and disciplined acts. The first state may be likened to a public road that is open for use by all and is not a restricted thoroughfare. The other state is like a mould that gives rise to parts of a specific design and distinct appearance.

When the human mind is in the first state we say that it does not have a character. The bearded of such mind could be Shaitan or could be an angel. There is unpredictability in his temperament. In cannot be said with certainty as to what kind of actions such and individual may carry out at any given time. On the contrary, when a person comes into the second state we say that he has a character and that there is a discipline and a certain order in his practical life. It can now be predicted with confidence as to what actions such an individual would carry out under certain given conditions.
