Скачать или смотреть Sirah of the Prophet Session 3 | His Names, Ancestry & the Story Before his Birth | Imam J Saafir

Session 3 of our concise, heart-centered study of the life of Prophet Muhammad (saaw).
In this powerful and foundational class on the life of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, we explore the deeper story before the Sirah begins — his noble names, his lineage, and the generations of sacrifice that led to his prophethood.

We begin by reflecting on the many beautiful names and titles of the Prophet ﷺ — including Al-Mutawakkil (the one who relies completely on Allah), Ar-Ra’uf and Ar-Rahim (full of kindness and compassion), Al-Bashir (bringer of glad tidings), An-Nadhir (warner), Siraj Munir (a radiant lamp), and more. Each name reveals a different dimension of his character and mission.

The class then dives into essential historical background:

The three categories of Arabs before Islam: the extinct Arabs, the original Arabs (Qahtani), and the Arabized Arabs (descendants of Prophet Ismail عليه السلام).

The story of Hajar (Hagar) and Ismail عليه السلام in the barren valley of Makkah, the miracle of Zamzam, and the building of the Ka‘bah with Prophet Ibrahim عليه السلام.

The powerful du‘a of Ibrahim for a future messenger — fulfilled in Muhammad ﷺ.

The 12 sons of Ismail and the lineage leading to Quraysh, Banu Hashim, and finally to Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Abdul-Muttalib — tracing the Prophet’s noble ancestry generation by generation.

The meaning of the statement: “I am the son of the two sacrificed ones” — referring to Ismail and his father Abdullah.
