Do we love Prophet PUBH with an intensity greater than our love for others?
By Faisal Ahmed Khan siyasat.net
Muslim Ummah is desperately searching for remedial actions for overcoming their current miserable condition. The intellectuals are crafting innovative strategies and contemplating various solution methodologies for regaining the lost glory.
However, the solution to all their present-day problems can be obtained through the love of the Prophet PBUH. As mentioned in a Hadith reported by Anas ibn Malik, ‘The Messenger of Allah, peace, and blessings be upon him, said, “None of you have faith until I am more beloved to him than his children, his father, and all of the people.” (Sahih Al Bukhari 15, Muslim 44). One has to reflect on this Hadith and evaluate his or her state of affairs. Do we love Prophet PUBH with an intensity greater than our love for others?
The claim for loving the Prophet Mohammad(PBUH) is not true or complete until one starts following and obeying Prophet (PBUH) in every aspect of life. Whether it is personal life or collective life as a community. Everyone has to clearly understand that there was not a single leader that existed on the face of earth greater than Prophet Mohammad PBUH.
He was blessed with the extraordinary military, administrative and diplomatic abilities that none of the human beings ever had. He had been mentioned as a blessing for the entire human being forever. For Muslims, the life of the Prophet (PBUH) should act as a beacon for sailing through these turbulent times.
The various aspects of the life of the Prophet (PUBH) which we should learn and study include his personality, independence of thought and actions, humility and kindness, self-preservation instinct, perseverance and long term perspective, proactive aggressive approach to the events, interactive strategies, understanding of human nature and human resource management, awareness of the political situation and in-depth knowledge of geopolitical scenarios.
Furthermore, various aspects of his Seerah show us his effective use of pledges, agreement, and treaties, consultations with companions and acceptance of sound advice, affecting change through effective communication, reward loyalty and punish treachery, developing of followers into effective future leaders.
On a greater level, his diplomatic and military strategies, understanding of the balance of power, effective use of intelligence networks, development of code of conduct, versatile and opportunistic approach to martial tactics are unmatchable.
For gaining more useful insight on this it is recommended to read the book Strategies of Prophet Mohammad by Omar Khayyam Sheikh. Apart from this, the biography of the Noble Prophet titled ‘The Sealed Nectar’ by Safiur-Rehman Al Mubarakpuri is a must-read. These books of Seerah shouldn’t be read as a book of story or novel rather it must be studied to deduce strategies from it. Moreover, the knowledge of Seerah should be imparted to the youngsters so that they can learn the Prophetic strategies for applying in the future life.
Every year on 12, Rabi ul Awal, the majority of the Muslims are involved in the debate whether celebrating the event is correct or wrong. Both parties favoring the celebrations and opposing it furiously fight with each other wasting a tremendous amount of time, effort, and resource for futile exercise.
However, some conscious efforts to promote the study of Seerah would be more beneficial to Ummah rather than ridiculing each other.
