Audio Introduction (1 min):
Studying the life of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is not just a subject of history — it is an act of faith, love, and devotion.
For every believer who recites the kalimah, learning about the Prophet’s ﷺ noble character, sacrifices, and mercy deepens their bond with him and nurtures true love in the heart.
Loving Muhammad ﷺ is Ibādah, it is part of our religion to love Muhammad ﷺ .
He ﷺ says, “One of you does not attain true faith until you love me more than you love your parents, your children, and the whole world.”
We do not really become true Believers until we love Muhammad ﷺ more than anything else, so it is part of Islām to love Muhammad ﷺ .
‘Umar Ibn Al-Khattāb was a very honest and straight-forward person, he went to Rasūlullāh ﷺ and said,
“O Rasūlullāh, I love you more than anyone except myself.”
Rasūlullāh ﷺ told him,“Until you love me.” Meaning you do not really attain the complete faith until you love me more than your own self. So ‘Umar Ibn Al-Khattāb came back and said,
“O Rasūlullāh, now I love you more than my own self.”
Rasūlullāh ﷺ said, “Al-Āna Idhan – Now you have attained the complete faith.”
