A Study of the Meccan Period of the Sira (Biography) of the Prophet Muhammad (Allah shower grace and benedictions upon him)
Imagine yourself sitting at home after work. You are doing what you normally do; your children are doing what they normally do. It is an ordinary day in your life.
Starting Sunday, June 6, insha’ Allah we will begin what promises to be a thought provoking, and life enhancing class covering the Sira—the sacred biography—of the Prophet Muhammad (Allah bless him and give him peace).
In this class we will be covering: Pre-Islamic Arabia, miraculous signs prior to the Prophet’s birth, his pure family lineage, birth, infancy, youth, adulthood, and marriage; the beginnings of revelation, and the Meccan period: private and public invitation to God, dealing with persecution, and building the early community.
In this class, we aspire to:

In this class, we aspire to:
- Learn the chronological details of the life of our beloved Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace)
- Draw practical lessons for us in the area of spirituality, family, ethics, politics, identity, etc.
- Pay extra close attention to the areas in the Sira that are often misunderstood, whether by Muslims or non-Muslims.
