The Shamail Muhammadiyah is a fascinating selection of hadith compiled by the ninth-century scholar Imam at-Tirmidhi. The book humanizes the qualities of Prophet Muhammad (s) for modern audiences, presenting him through the eyes of contemporaries who comment not only on his good character, but also on his physical appearance and mannerism. Some of the examples of characteristics of Prophet Muhammad (s) include hairdressing style, sitting posture, his sandals and turban, his armor, his favorite condiments, and his jests and laughter.
Ustadh Fizar Zainal will bring you into an opening onto the roots of the Islamic spiritual tradition, a process of transformation in the individual that was integrally linked to one’s adherence, both inwardly and outwardly, to the example of Prophet Muhammad’s (s) character. The degree to which we imbibe ourselves with the Nabawi-centric model is the degree to which we can perceive our own Islamic spirituality.
The lessons are designed to be a portrait of the Prophet (s) in all its intimacy and detail, and will be a timeless testimony to the aspirations of all those who wish to be close to the Prophet (s) and emulate his character.
