The Life of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH): A Journey Toward Spiritual Enlightenment and Ethical Guidance

Azizullah Qureshi, Ghulam Ali Jalbani ; hikmah hikmah — Sun, 14 Dec 2025 16:40:16 +0500

The life and teachings of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) present an enduring model for spiritual depth, ethical clarity, and emotional resilience qualities increasingly relevant in a world shaped by materialism and psychological disquiet. This research examines the Seerah (Prophetic biography) as a comprehensive and integrative framework that harmonizes Islamic spiritual concepts such as taqwa (God-consciousness), dhikr (remembrance of God), and tazkiyah al-nafs (purification of the soul with foundational principles of modern psychology, including mindfulness, emotional self-regulation, and cognitive adaptability. Drawing on qualitative textual analysis and current psychological literature, the study reveals how Prophetic guidance mirrors and enriches therapeutic methodologies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and the Positive Psychology model known as PERMA (Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment). Illustrative moments from the Prophet’s life such as the Charter of Medina and the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah highlight his exceptional cognitive insight, emotional intelligence, and ethical leadership. These qualities provide practical insights into addressing contemporary issues like mental health disorders and societal disintegration. The paper concludes by advocating for interdisciplinary inquiry into the neuroscientific and cross-cultural dimensions of Prophetic wisdom, positioning it as a viable model for fostering both personal well-being and communal cohesion.

One of the great achievements of modern communication is that human societies and various religious communities have become more familiar with one another than ever before. This phenomenon has opened new avenues of thought for people of faith. Since religion represents an eternal reality of human life, it continues to play a significant role among individuals and societies. Within the essence of religion lies a single divine truth that has manifested itself in different forms throughout various faiths over time.

It is noteworthy that in today’s world, interreligious dialogue among major religions has gained extraordinary acceptance. Prominent theologians and intellectuals are making sincere efforts to promote and expand this dialogue. The importance of this interaction lies in the fact that followers of religions particularly those of divine faiths are striving to discover historical and doctrinal commonalities, to remove ambiguities surrounding the original messages of religions, and to strengthen their shared foundations. In this context, an important question arises: how did the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) interact and engage with followers of other faiths? Addressing this question is the main objective of this research.

In Islamic belief, the concept of heaven and hell is not just a doctrinal theory, but a fundamental belief that determines the foundation of faith and the outcome of the hereafter. The clarity with which the Holy Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) have mentioned heaven and hell has awakened the consciousness of the Hereafter and accountability in the hearts of believers. For centuries, scholars of the Ummah have pondered, debated and researched this issue, and presented different opinions on whether the people of heaven and the people of hell will always remain in their respective abodes or not. This is the central point of scholarly disagreement.

The majority of scholars, commentators, and hadith scholars of the Ummah agree that both heaven and hell will always exist and that the people of heaven and hell will remain in their respective states for eternity. According to them, the creation of heaven and hell is an eternal and eternal reality, which will neither perish nor end, but a small number of scholars have presented a different angle on this issue. According to them, the nature of the punishment of Hell may be temporary. According to their opinion, it is possible that after a long period of time, the punishment of Hell may be ended or the inhabitants of Hell may be destroyed.

hikmah hikmah; Dr. Naveed Khan — Sat, 06 Dec 2025 16:56:37 +0500

Sectarianism has remained one of the most persistent challenges to Pakistan’s social cohesion, religious harmony, and national integration. In this context, Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan has played a notable role through its ideological framework, organizational discipline, and public initiatives aimed at reducing sectarian polarization. The party’s manifesto emphasizes human dignity, justice, and welfare beyond divisions of sect, language, or ethnicity, thereby promoting an inclusive Islamic political vision. Jamaat-e-Islami has consistently advocated inter-sect dialogue, constitutionalism, and adherence to democratic norms as pathways to national unity. By encouraging its members to respect diverse schools of thought and discouraging takfīr, the party contributes to a culture of tolerance within religious and political spheres. Its participation in joint religious boards, peace committees, and issue-based alliances reflects a practical commitment to mitigating sectarian tensions. Although challenges remain due to broader socio-political dynamics in Pakistan, the party’s efforts illustrate how faith-based political movements can support national harmony without compromising doctrinal principles. This paper examines Jamaat-e-Islami’s contributions to sectarian de-escalation, the philosophical foundations guiding its approach, and the impact of its policies on the wider discourse of unity within Pakistani society.

Shaykh al-Mufīd (may God have mercy upon him) stands among the most distinguished and influential scholars of the Shi‘a Imāmī tradition. His multifaceted contributions left a profound imprint on the intellectual, cultural, and political landscape of the 4th and 5th centuries A.H. His services may broadly be categorized into the missionary, academic-research, pedagogical, foundational, and political domains.

In the field of missionary work, Shaykh al-Mufīd adopted an effective and refined methodology grounded in psychological insight and an early, sophisticated conception of scholarly dialogue. His approach centered on diverse modes of reasoning, dialectical engagement, and a defensive literary tradition that powerfully articulated Shi‘a doctrines. In the realm of scholarship and research, he produced a monumental intellectual legacy comprising juristic treatises, theological works, collections of hadith and traditions, polemical writings, and records of debates, all of which constitute a cornerstone of classical Shi‘a scholarship.

اخلاق تکلم قرآن وحدیث کی روشنی میں

Mustafa Ali Irfani — Sat, 06 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0500

Speech Ethics is an important part of Islamic teachings. It guides a person to safeguard their tongue, speak truthfully, with gentleness, and treat others with respect. It emphasizes avoiding useless talk, refraining from backbiting and slander, and resolving disagreements with wisdom. The Holy Prophet ﷺ said: “Speak good or remain silent” The Qur’an repeatedly commands speaking the truth, conversing with kindness, and avoiding rumors.

Akhlāq al-Takallum (Ethics of Speech) also refers to the manner in which the Almighty Lord addresses humanity. When Allah, the Exalted, speaks to human beings with love and compassion, it becomes incumbent upon humans by obeying the Lord to speak in the best and most beautiful manner. For this reason, all the Prophets and the Imams (peace be upon them) likewise spoke with an excellent and graceful mode of expression. They always advised that whenever one speaks, it should be in the finest and most noble manner.

Even when someone showed disrespect toward the Imams (peace be upon them), they responded with refined and dignified speech. Islam grants significant importance to good speech, which serves as a lesson and message for people to hold firmly to good character. Indeed, Allah, the Lord of Glory, is greatly pleased with such conduct.

This is era of modern science and technology. Man has made great progress and new discoveries and inventions are coming out day by day. But on the other side the spirituality is on the decline and the storm of materialism has enveloped the whole world. In this situation the last prophet’s life is role model for humanity as Quran says that He is the complete role model for you. The life of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) is the life of a perfect and complete human being, whose moral virtues can illuminate the human society of every era. Equality, justice and other moral values are necessary for the formation of a better human society. Bright examples of these values are found in the life of the Prophet(pbuh). The purpose of studying the biography of the prophet is that the practical form of the Quranic verses and the hadiths of the Prophet can come before us so that we can follow the prophetic role in every aspect of our practical life.
