Abstract

The biographers of the "Seerat of Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH)"

have expressed their views and thoughts clearly and categorically

in the light of their wisdom and sagacity, in every era. Apart from

manifesting solemnity, reverence and extraordinary love to the

Holy prophet (PBUH), the task of compiling and composing the

"Seerat Books" was very gigantic and colossal but the writers of

the "Seerat" have done it very skillfully, successfully and carefully.

They have accomplished this task under minute research work.

This task is unparalleled, unique and peerless among the others

biographical literatures of the world. The biography of our Holy

prophet (PBUH) emerged as the crying need of the hour especially

in the field of religion, culture, civilization after the freedom

movement of 1857 in the sub-continent. The great and renowned

pioneers of the Indo-pak sub-continent named "Hali, Sir Syed,

Shibli, Mulla Wahidi, Azad, Manazar Ahsan Gilani and Naeem

Siddiqui presented the preaching and revolutionary aspect of our

Holy prophet (PBUH). However "Syed Maudoodi" in his own book

on "Seerat Sarwar-i-Alam" has presented Muhammad (PBUH) as

the greatest benefactor and lover of humanity. According to him,

our Holy prophet (PBUH) was very active, effective and

revolutionary in preaching, professing and practicing the teachings

and tenets of Islam. He says emphatically that the Holy Quran is

not only religious but also a mobilizing, motivating and inspiring

book which activates the people to do good deeds. In the same

way Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) is also an inspiring and dynamic

leader of the universal movement. Syed Maudoodi in his book on

"Seerat-un-Nabi" has presented his views logically, literally and

practically in a very comprehensive manner on different

aspects.concepts and topics.
