Why Understanding The Sirah Matters By Misbah Momin “Indeed, Allah and His angels send blessings upon the Prophet. O believers! Send blessings and peace upon him (SAW) abundantly.” — Al-Qur’an (33:56) All Praise belongs to Allah SWT alone, and may Allah shower His infinite blessings, mercy and peace upon Rasulullah (SAW), his (SAW) blessed family and his (SAW) noble Companions.
