Description
How much of what we know about the Prophet Muhammad’s life can we actually verify? Muslims are familiar with countless stories about the Prophet, yet surprisingly few of those details appear in the Quran. So where did these stories come from, who recorded them, and how reliable are they? Dr. Shabir Ally and Dr. Safiyyah Ally examine the origins of the Prophet’s biographies (seerah), the role of hadith in reconstructing his life, and the challenges historians face when evaluating accounts recorded generations after his death. Can we distinguish historical facts from uncertain details? And what happens when Muslims treat disputed accounts as unquestionable truths? These questions matter because the stories we tell about the Prophet shape how we understand his character, interpret his teachings, and practise Islam today.
