May all salât (prayers) and salâm be upon Muhammad ‘alaihis-salâm, who is in every respect the most beautiful and the most exalted of all mankind. May salât and salâm be upon His Âl (family) and relatives, who radiate knowledge, wisdom and good ethics. May salât and salâm also be upon all His Ashâb (radiy-Allahu ta’âlâ ‘anhum/ May Allahu ta’âlâ be pleased with them), who have become the most precious of people by seeing His beautiful face that heals souls and hearing His valuable words, and upon those who love and follow them.
Allahu ta’âlâ, having mercy upon all people on the earth, creates and sends useful things to them. In the next world (âkhirat), He will grant His forgiveness on those Muslims who are to go to Jahannam (Hell) and put them into Jannah (Paradise). Muhammad ‘alaihis-salâm is a Nabî, Rasûl (Messenger) and Habîb (Beloved) of Allahu ta’âlâ. He is mankind’s sayyid (master). Those who believe and follow the path of such a blessed Prophet is certainly the greatest of ummats.
Janâb al-Haqq pitied us and made us attain His greatest blessing, that is, being one of His (Muhammad ‘alaihis-salâm’s) ummat. He clearly stated that we must adapt ourselves to Him and follow Him. It is less than sufficient, however much we make hamd to Him and thank Him for this immense blessing.
Allahu ta’âlâ created the blessed nûr (light) of our Master Sarwar al-âlam (Master of worlds) Muhammad (sall-Allahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) before He created anything. In the Qur’ân al-karîm, addressing our Master, the Prophet, it is said, “We sent thee as a mercy, as a blessing for beings.” In a hadîth al-qudsî, it was said, “Were it not for thee, I would not have created anything!”
The real tenet of îmân (belief) is, “Al-hubbu fillâh and bughdu fillâh,” that is, to love Allahu ta’âlâ’s loved ones and dislike His enemies. Without hubbu fillâh and bughdu fillâh, no ibâdat (act of worship) will be accepted. Therefore, it is fard (obligatory) to love “the Master of the worlds”, and we have been ordered to place His love in our hearts and adorn ourselves with His beautiful akhlâq (moral qualities). To continue this love, books have been and being written for centuries, which talk about the life of our Master, the Prophet. For flooding our hearts with His love, after making long examinations from the books of the Ahl as-Sunnat scholars, we have tried to write the blessed life of our Master Rasulullah. May Allah be pleased with everyone who worked on this.
May Janâb al-Haqq fill our hearts with the love of our Master, the Prophet and keep us on the path informed by Ahl as-sunnat scholars! Âmîn.
Prof. Dr. Ramazan Ayvallı
May Janâb al-Haqq honour all of us with the bliss of following Muhammad Mustafâ (sall-Allahu ‘alaihi wa sallam), who is the master of this world and the next and the superior and the best of mankind! For, Janâb al-Haqq loves following Him, adapting oneself to Him. A mote of following Him is superior to all the pleasures of the world and all the blessings of the âkhirat. Real superiority is being in subjection to His sunnat as-saniyya, and the honour and virtue of humanity are following His Islâm. [The word sunnat has three different meanings. Here, it means Ahkâm al-islâmiyya (the commandments and prohibitions of Islâm).] (Maktûbât Sharîf)

Learning to read, teaching and reciting the Qur’ân al-karîm yields many rewards. Qur’ân al-karîm should be learned according to the tajwîd rules and read every day, no matter how little!
“The best of you are those who learn the Qur’ân al-karîm and teach it.” Hadîth ash-sharîf [Bukhârî]
The appearance of our Master, Habîb al-akram (sall-Allahu ’alaihi wa sallam) is called “Hilya as-Sa’âdat”. Scholars of Islâm have clearly written all the visible limbs of Muhammad ’alaihis-salâm, His shape, attributes, beautiful habits and His entire life in detail with proofs and documents. This knowledge had been collected from the hadîth as...
Having returned from Hudaybiya, Nabi al-muhtaram (sall-Allahu ’alaihi wa sallam) wished for Islâm to spread all over the world and for people to be saved from the torment of Jahannam and attain true bliss. Because He had been sent as a mercy to all the universe. Therefore, He thought to send envoys to rulers from all around and invite them to Isla...
In this khutba, our Master, the Prophet indicated that His demise was nearing by saying that He won’t be perfoming hajj again. Later, when His words were confirmed, this khutba was called the Farewell Khutba.
Naksh al-qadam ash-sharîf is the blessed footprint of our beloved Prophet Muhammad ‘alaihis-salâm. One of the miracles of our Master, the Prophet is that when He stepped on a soft surface, for example, on the sand, His feet wouldn’t leave a print. But when He stepped on a hard surface, on a stone, His feet would leave a print.
The clogs of today are different than the ones used in the time of our Master, the Prophet. They were shoes that had leather bottoms, and the tops were open and had a strap. Rasûlullah and the Ashâb al-kirâm performed namâz with the clogs they wore in the streets. Their clogs were clean, and the Masjid an-Nabî’s ground was sand. No one entered...
Uwais ibn Âmir Qarnî (radiy-Allahu ‘anh) is one of the notables of Tabiîn (the great Muslims who met the Ashâb al-kirâm). He is from the Qarn village of Yemen. After becoming a Muslim, his whole life, he burned with the love of our beloved Prophet (sall-Allahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) and never forgot Allahu ta’âlâ for even a second. He reached suc...
Hadrat Ka’b ibn Zuhayr (radiy-Allahu ‘anh), the son of a poet family, was also a poet. Before, he would write poems against our Master, the Prophet and Islâm. They informed our Master about this, and He ordered for him to be killed wherever he was seen.
Every piece of the blessed hair and beard of our Master, the Prophet (sall-Allahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) is called “Lihya ash-sharîf” that is “Sakal ash-sharîf”. Sometimes our beloved Prophet (‘alaihissalâtu wassalâm) would grow His blessed hair, and sometimes He would have His hair cut and shortened. He had private barbers in His service. He kept His ...
Religion is the path shown by Allahu ta’âlâ to lead people to endless bliss. Warped paths made up by people under the name of religion are not religion; they are irreligion and unbelief.
Religions are the mercy and favour of Allahu ta’âlâ to His born slaves. Allahu ta’âlâ sent religions to crush nafs’ desires and wishes and to prevent its excessiveness.
