![]() We begin by mentioning some of the names that Allah AWJ gave our Prophet Muhammad PBUH. So how then can we begin to do justice to the Prophet PBUH when Allah has praised him so highly. Indeed the Prophet PBUH is mercy, his sending is mercy, his message is mercy, his teachings are mercy, and believing and acting upon what he has come with is a mercy. And indeed, Ibn Abbas (ابن عباس) and other scholars of the sahaba (صحابة - Companions of the Prophet) said, "Allah has raised up his remembrance such that whenever Allah is mentioned, the Prophet PBUH is mentioned right after." Allah SWT (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala/سبحانه وتعالى - Glorified and Exalted be He) Himself called our Prophet PBUH a "Rahma li al-Alamin (رحمة للعالمين - Mercy to the World)" - He is the embodiment of rahma (رحمة - mercy) he is the channel of Allah's mercy. How can we do justice to him when Allah AWJ (Azza wa Jal/عز وجل - Mighty and the Majestic) Himself says, "We have raised up your remembrance and mention". Where do we begin when it comes to describing the one whom Allah (الله) has chosen above the entire creation. Insha'Allah (إن شاء الله - God willing), before we embark on the journey of seerah, we will study the Prophet's PBUH (ﷺ - May Allah Sends Blessings and Peace Upon Him/Peace Be Upon Him) shama'il (شمائل - characteristics) to build up even greater eagerness and motivation to learn about the life and times, the lessons and morals, the incidents that occurred, in the life of our Prophet Muhammad PBUH.
