 The Blessed Childhood of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ  under Halima al-Sa‘diyyah For more article --  SSK BLOG After Halima al-Sa‘diyyah took the blessed child Muhammad ﷺ into her care, her weak and frail camel suddenly became the fastest among the caravan. This astonished the other women, for they had never seen such a transformation. Truly, it was a clear sign of divine blessing. Halima belonged to the tribe of Banu Sa‘d, and her husband’s name was Harith ibn ‘Abd al-‘Uzza. The Prophet ﷺ thus had foster brothers and sisters in that household. From the day he entered their home, Allah filled it with endless barakah. Blessings in the Household Halima herself narrates: Before receiving Muhammad ﷺ, her own child cried from hunger, as her milk was insufficient. Their old donkey was weak and slow. Their she-camel produced no milk. But once she carried the Prophet ﷺ home, her milk became abundant. Both the Prophet ﷺ and her son nursed to their fill and slept peacefully. That night, he...

  In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful For More Articles > SSK BLOG The Blessed Birth and Lineage of the Final Prophet ﷺ Peace and blessings be upon our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, who was sent as the last Messenger of Allah to all of mankind. The Qur’an revealed to him is the final Divine Book, a complete guidance until the Day of Judgment. The life of the Prophet ﷺ is a perfect model for humanity, as Allah Himself declared: “Indeed, in the Messenger of Allah you have the best example.” (Qur’an 33:21). The noble life of the Prophet ﷺ is therefore a source of eternal guidance, and every Muslim must take his biography as an essential part of their faith and practice. The Birth of the Prophet ﷺ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was born in the spring season, on a Monday morning after dawn and before sunrise, on the 9th of Rabi‘ al-Awwal, in the Year of the Elephant (corresponding to April 20 or 22, 571 CE) in Makkah al-Mukarramah.

  In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. All praise is due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger . Purpose of This Series My dear brothers and sisters, We are presenting a series on Islamic history. The purpose is to remind Urdu-speaking Muslims, especially the youth, of their true history and real heroes. Today, many consider athletes, singers, or actors as heroes, while we have forgotten our actual heroes. As a result, our younger generation is facing an identity crisis. True Heroes of Islam The goal of this series is to show that our true heroes are the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his noble companions, who sacrificed everything for Islam, endured hardships, and spread the message of peace and justice in the world. Love for the Prophet ﷺ The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “You will never have complete faith until I am more beloved to you than your parents, your children, and all of mankind.” (Sahih al-Bukhari) Umar ib...

  Journey Through Islamic History and the Life of the Prophet ﷺ Look at the earth, look at the sky — just look at the sun rising from the polytheists; a nation that forgets its history becomes at the mercy of other nations. History should be such that it is fertile with examples of justice, peace, morality, courage, and sacrifice. The beginning of the history of Islam is with the unparalleled sacrifices and struggle of the Messenger of Allah, Muhammad (peace be upon him). To pass through doubts and stages about this history, begin the journey with our historian Adnan Rashid. While studying the life of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) we will shed light on the history of the Rightly Guided Caliphs and review great achievements such as the Conquests of Islam. Covering the political complexities of the Umayyads and Abbasids, their civilization, wars, and the role of Salahuddin, we will also review the Mamluk period and the Mongol invasions. La ilaha illa Allah, La ilaha illa...

  The Battle of the Trench (Khandaq) — Simple English  After the defeat at Uhud, Abu Sufyan gathered a huge army from all over Arabia. The confederate force is estimated in the sources to have been about 10,000 men, prepared to attack Medina. This large army worried the Muslims because Medina’s population was much smaller.  When the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) learned of this, he called a meeting. Everyone knew a direct fight in the open was dangerous. In that meeting, Salman al-Farsi (Salman the Persian) advised digging a deep trench on the exposed side of Medina. He explained that Medina is protected on three sides by hills, so if the Muslims dug a trench on the only open side, the enemy cavalry could be blocked and the town would be better defended. The Prophet accepted Salman’s plan.  The work began at once. The whole community took part: men, and others who could help. Sections of the trench were assigned to groups; the Prophet himself worked alongsid...

The Battle of Uhud — Simple English After the heavy defeat at Badr, the people of Makkah gathered an army of about 3,000 men and set out to attack the Muslims. The Muslims prepared about 1,000 men to defend Medina. Again the numbers were similar to Badr: the enemy had three times as many soldiers. Among the Makkans was a young and talented man named Khalid ibn al-Walid. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) advised staying inside Medina and defending from the town, but most of the companions wanted to go out and fight in the open desert. The Prophet accepted the majority’s view and the Muslim army left Medina. The 1,000 Companions were divided into groups — Muhajirun and Ansar. Only about 100 of them had body armor and shields, and there were only around 50 horses. The Quraysh army stopped at the place of Uhud and waited. Abu Sufyan was now the leader of the Quraysh force. On his left was Ikrimah (son of Abu Jahl) and on the right Khalid ibn al-Walid led the horsemen. Before the b...
