THE NOBLE LIFE BEFORE PROPHETHOOD: A RESEARCH-BASED ANALYSIS IN THE LIGHT OF DAIRA-E-MA'ARIF SEERAT-E-MUHAMMAD RASOOL ALLAH ﷺ BY PROFESSOR ABDUL QAYYUM

Abstract

Several significant events from the life of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ before his prophethood such as his journeys, marriage, participation in the reconstruction of the Kaaba, and the titles he was given hold fundamental importance in the analytical study of his blessed life. All these aspects affirm the fact that Allah Almighty prepared him for the mission of prophethood through a natural and gradual process of training. His commercial travels served as a means to refine his character, integrity, and powers of observation, while his marriage to Khadijah (RA) laid the foundation for a dignified and trustworthy marital life. During the reconstruction of the Kaaba, his wise and prudent resolution of a tribal dispute was a practical demonstration of his leadership, intelligence, and extraordinary diplomacy. Likewise, titles such as Al-Sadiq (The Truthful) and Al-Ameen (The Trustworthy) were social acknowledgments of his exemplary characterbestowed by the people of Makkah after observing his conduct from childhood to youth. A study of these events clearly reveals that his pre-prophetic life was a preparatory phase for the grand mission of prophethood, with each aspect providing crucial insights into the background of the Prophetic mission.
