Reflecting on the relevance of the study of the personality of the Prophet The life of the Prophet is both, history and biography, a code of law and mode of guidance. The Seerah should not only be stated, narrated and analyzed but be internalized and utilized as a principled model for righteous and wholesome living. To fully appreciate the significance of the Prophet's life in this millennium we need to evolve our perception of the Seerah from a mere historical narrative into a contemporary map of guidance. It should serve as a source of inspiration and a model for excellence.
