Living by the Seerah

Seven signs that you truly love the messenger

• Imitating and emulating him
• Studying his seerah
• Studying what he conveyed
• Sending salutations upon him
• Loving what/whom he loved
• Remembering him & wishing to be with him
• Encouraging others to learn about and emulate him

GOALS

• To study about the Seerah of prophet Muhammad SAW
• To include sunnah practices in my daily routine

Concrete Steps for execution

• Attend a Seerah Course (Qalam Intensive)
• Choose 4 behaviours or practices from seerah that can be easily incorporated into my daily life
• To gradually include those practices over the course of a year.
• Each new habit/change should be practiced for 3 months, at least, before introducing the next one.

Obstacles/Challenges

• Lack of motivation/will power
• Distractions- people/environment
• Lack of time
• Forgetfulness

How to assess progress or success

• Habit Journal- Writing it down and track progress weekly on a task planner app or a paper journal, if I can practice it 4 or more times a week, considered a success
• For behaviour changes- I’ll ask a colleague at work and my mother & sister to keep a check on me in addition to journaling.

SUMMARY

• Learning about seerah and implementing it in my life.
• This year I’ll take 4 sunnah practices and incorporate them in my life.
• I plan to achieve it by maintaining a habit tracking journal and accountability from people around me.
