Foreword
Hazrath Mohammed Mustafa Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam is the
last Prophet of Islam. The Holy Quran is the last and final word of the
Almighty revealed to Him. His Ummah is the last Ummah. His Shariah
(Islamic law) is the last and final Shariah which is unamendable and
unalterable. In a nut shell every thing associated to Him is complete and final
in all respect. Hence, the Almighty declared Him as the final and perfect role
model for the entire world irrespective of age, caste, colour, creed and
geographical boundaries. The Almighty says about Him indeed He is a best
model and example for you as the messenger of Allah (Al-Ahzab : 21)
His childhood is the best model for growing children. His youth is
the best example for the youth. He is the best son, best brother, best husband,
best statesman, best philospher, best businessman, best teacher, best speaker
and the best commander. His Shariah is the best Shariah. The Almighty says
about the Shariah given to him "Today I have perfected you with your Deen
(code of conduct) and completed for you my bounty and I choose Islam as a
Deen (religion) for you." (Al-Maida:3)
The Prophet Mohammed (s.a.w.s) came to this universe as a mercy
for the mankind. His sayings and deeds considered to be a law as he neither
speaks nor perform anything on his own, but by the Wahi (revelation) by
Almighty. Almighty says "He speaks nothing by himself but whatever is
revealed to Him." (An-Najm:10) Thus Almighty commands us to follow him
blindly and says "Take whatever the Messenger gives you, restrain from what
he forbids you." (Al-Hashr:7)
To be successful in this world and after death we should follow
him, as his obedience constitutes obedience to Allah and His disobedience
means disobedience of the Almighty. Allah (s.w.t) says : One who follows
Allah and his Messenger will achieve great success (Al-Ahzab:71).
With the noble purpose of highlighting various illuminated aspects
of our beloved Prophet to the younger generation, Mr. Muqtar Khan brought
out this book in the form of Quiz to educate tender hearts.
This small book has gained popularity as it is widely read in various
schools and even they have conducted Seerat Quiz based on this book.
Originally this book was compiled in Urdu but to fulfill the requirements of
non-Urdu speaking community, Mr. Muqtar got it translated into English.
I congratulate Mr. Muqtar on the successful attempt made by him to
spread the Holy Seerat of our beloved Prophet among the young Muslim
students, which is the need of the hour.
I hope he will also bring out books on other Islamic themes as well.
May Allah reward to all those who are involved in the noble cause.
