The DEEN in BYTES Series | HADEETH101 Sciences Of Hadeeth - part 2: Special Addition

In response to a comment/question from the Telegram group.

"So, to understand the meanings of Qur’an, we must consider what Rasulullah (saw) said or did.."
.........If I remember correctly, Nik Aziz many times in his kuliah stressed the importance of Seerah, without which the understanding of the Book will be incomplete.

The response:

Yes Brother,

Without the 'understanding' of seerah, the understanding of the Quran and Sunnah will not be complete. And 'seerah' here also covers the time after the death of Prophet (saw), ie the time of the Khulafa ar-raashiduun.

However, for proper 'understanding', the normal seerah that we are normally exposed to will not do the 'trick' - these are highly summarised summary of seerah.

(Unfortunately, there is no short cut to proper understanding).

You can check out the following links for 'detailed seerah' lessons;

2. The Life of the Prophet Muhammad (Medina Period)
3. The Life of Muhammed - Madinah Part II

AND for a comprehensive understanding of the DEEN - it is also very importance to understand the unity and the continuity of the message ever since before the creation of Nabi Adam (as) till our last prophet, Muhammad (saw).

Below are 3 excellent links for the purpose:
1. Wisam Sharieff: The Prophetic Dynasty at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwhSLigH7IE&list=PLd1iIFdWNC2mcIHLBORZ01zoEOrsySaNa

3. Anwar Awlaki's: The Lives of the Prophets at http://www.kalamullah.com/anwar-alawlaki.html

For the objective of understanding 'unity and continuity', Wisam Sharieff's series is a must.
