The speaker discusses the unique qualities and characteristics of Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). He begins by mentioning that there are around 50 special aspects specific to Prophet Muhammad, though only 15 were initially mentioned.

Physical Appearance:
- Prophet Muhammad was neither very tall nor short, with a lightish brown skin tone.
- His hair was neither curly nor straight but firm, and his hand was softer than velvet and silk.
- His sweat had a fragrance more pleasant than musk, and his companions used his sweat as perfume and medicine.

Characteristics of Prophets:
- Prophets are generally handsome with beautiful characteristics.
- Prophet Yusuf (alayhi Salaam) was given half of all beauty. There are two opinions on this: one that it refers to half the beauty of mankind and the other that it refers to half of Prophet Muhammad's beauty.

Descriptions by Companions:
- Companions described Prophet Muhammad using similes of the sun and the moon.
- His face would light up like the full moon when he was happy.

Physical Features and Mannerisms:
- Prophet Muhammad had a moderate stature, broad shoulders, thick hair, and a full beard.
- He was neither extremely white nor ruddy brown. His eyes were large with jet black pupils.
- He walked briskly as if descending down a slope and would turn his whole body to face someone addressing him.

Seal of Prophethood:
- Prophet Muhammad had a physical sign on his body, known as the Seal of the Prophets, which was an oval-shaped growth of hair of a different color between his shoulder blades.

Abdullah bin Salam's Conversion:
- Abdullah bin Salam, the chief rabbi of the Jews in Medina, converted to Islam upon seeing Prophet Muhammad, recognizing that his face was not that of a liar.

Prophet Muhammad's Modesty and Simple Lifestyle:
- He lived a modest life, often sleeping on a simple bed and not indulging in luxurious foods.
- Roman bin Qattab observed that Prophet Muhammad never ate wheat bread to his fill, emphasizing his simple lifestyle despite his leadership status.

Humility and Good Manners:
- Prophet Muhammad showed immense humility and good manners, never expressing irritation or anger, even in domestic situations.
- He was compassionate and understanding, even when others showed him contempt or disrespect.

Bravery:
- He was brave, often the first to respond to danger or commotion in Medina.
- His companions sought refuge around him during battles due to his courage.

Generosity and Humor:
- Prophet Muhammad was known for his generosity, never refusing a request, and had a great sense of humor.
- His jokes were pure, clean, and always truthful.

Love for His Ummah:
- He loved his Ummah (community) deeply and chose to reserve his guaranteed-to-be-accepted prayer for their forgiveness on the Day of Judgment.
- This sacrifice highlights his immense love and concern for his followers.

In conclusion, the speaker emphasizes the importance of genuinely loving and following Prophet Muhammad to attain Allah's love and forgiveness.

any written material about lecture ?

Just started again because i forgot almost 60% of seerah and finished first episode and suddenly i start reviving my memory my love respect for our beloved prophet Mohammad (saw)

I'm so glad I found this series!

Alhamdulilah!

People think of "aliens" referring to higher intelligence. Concept of "higher intelligence" exists. Highest intelligence that's Prophet Muhammad salalahu alaihi wasalam. Allahu Akbar! Anyone who follows him salalahu alaihi wasalam to please Allah SWT is also on a path towards higher intelligence, truth, nur, Islam! We just can't understand/fathom his salalahu alaihi wasalam's level of intelligence.

Disclaimer for my Notes of Sheikh Yasir Qadhi’s Seerah of the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam Series:
Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh, these are my notes on Sheikh Yasir Qadhi’s Seerah series.

Please note: I HIGHLY recommend that you all watch YQ’s Seerah series, as I DON’T cover every single detail the Sheikh mentions. I made these notes primarily for myself but, decided my fellow brothers and sisters may benefit from them too. I no doubt will have made mistakes in my notes. All the good in these notes is from Allah SWT and all the mistakes are from myself. But, I was very meticulous and tried my best to make sure everything is accurate as the Sheikh mentions it.

You also will see I have added “Fun Trivia facts” under each of my notes. These FTFs are information YQ said that was off topic or not necessary to include in my notes for the episode. But, they were still worth mentioning hence the inclusion as FTFs. FTFs aren’t always HAPPY pieces of information. Sometimes they are very sad trivia. I just want to say that FTF is the phrase I used for them all collectively when making the notes.

One thing I wanted to do but am too lazy to do is, maybe someone could take the FTFs from under each “Episode” and make an Islamic reminder/information IG/TikTok account and post them daily or something. Could be a great form of Sadaqah Jaariyah.

Please keep me in your Duas and ask Allah SWT to forgive all our sins during this blessed month and beyond! Ameen

PRO TIP: make your own short notes in your own words so that you can remember every important points..

جزاكلله خيرا

Imagine how special the Sahaba Zaahir felt when the Prophet SAW said that he was very expensive in the eyes of Allah ❤️

Alhamdulillah

Caucasian colour is not white but what people call white chicken skin colour, which is not white itself.

Jazakallah Khair..Well explained..

These sufi nonsense about love and beauty is annoying and wasting time

Why not just speak about prophet Muhammed life without all this arrogance and exaggerations about phisical beauty??

Besides my parents and family, Rasoolullah SAW is indeed one of the love of my life. His love to his ummah is so pure and strong. How can we not love him back?

Sir please subtitles in urdu JazakAllah I know eng little

The Sahabi ra could have asked the torn one (46 mins) Allahu Akbar 😢💗

Ameen summ ameen

how can't i sacrify for the dignity of my prophet who mad Dua for me to enter jannan when I was not even exist. peace be upon him

Does anyone has notes of his lectures?

Allahumma Salli Ala Sayyidina Muhammad

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Allah Akbar

Our Messenger cried for us... what little thanks we give 😭😭😭😭

Alhamdulillah very happy to be part Propeht Muhammad (pbuh) Ummah

Masha Allah, so detailed

i love you sheikh Yasir..salams from Cardiff Wales UK

May Allah be pleased with my brother Yasir !

Nuh a.s was saved with his three sons sam, ham and yasith and approximately 80 believers.

I don't understand how the enemies of the prophet Muhammad ﷺ hated him when they actually saw him and dealt with him. How can they hate and be his enemy. Man I would sacrifice my life just to see our beloved prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

اللهم صل و سلم و بارك على سيدنا محمد ❤️🌹
