Walking with the Prophet ﷺ:
A
Weekly Seerah Series on the Shama’il Al-Muhammadiyya
Join Muslim Space this Summer as we dive into the character and intimate profile our Blessed Prophet ﷺ through an interactive weekly series: Walking with the Prophet ﷺ led by our Resident Chaplain, Usama Malik.
This 10-week journey through the life of the Prophet ﷺ will be conducted in a manner that shows how his blessed example, mannerisms, and personal qualities are as relevant to us more than ever, especially in the day and age we live. Each week we will go through different excerpts from Imam at Tirmidhi’s Al-Shama’il Al-Muhammadiyya, lifting up various narrations and anecdotes describing the Prophet ﷺ in rich detail, while reflecting on the relevance to the world in which we live today as Muslims, as well as some of the most pressing issues facing our time, such as: social justice and faith, economics and inequality, and practicing our faith in a hostile environment, and much more.
Sessions will be held live on Zoom every Friday at 6PM from June 10th to August 12th and recordings will be posted to the Muslim Space Facebook and YouTube pages.
