The first people to begin writing books of seerah were the sons of the sahaba. So many stories were told from their fathers. Urwah the son of Zubayr ibn al-Awwam wrote one of the greatest accounts. (Tangent: Urwah was one of the greatest tabi'un [تابعون] — his father, mother, grandmother, and brother, were all sahabi. But he was born after the death of the Prophet PBUH, so he wasn't a sahabi. And his aunt was none other than Aisha RA. So he was one of the primary narrators of fiqh, hadith, tafsir [تفسير - exegesis], and seerah, because he had access to Aisha RA; he was her mahram [محرم].) Also the son of Uthman ibn Affan (عثمان بن عفان) whose name was Aban (أبان) (died in the year 105 of the Year of the Hijrah) — he also wrote a booklet on seerah. Then a great scholar came by the name of Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri (ابن شهاب الزهري) (d. 124 AH), and he wrote one of the earliest treatises of seerah. But unfortunately, none of these books is existent anymore. The reason is simply: when later books came, they absorbed the earlier treatises. Realize in those days there were no printing presses. If you wanted a book, you had to sit there and write it yourself cover to cover. So if you had to choose one book, you would choose the ones that are better compiled (i.e., the later ones). It also helps us to understand the Quran. The Quran is a very profound book that you cannot understand without context. For example, Surah al-Duha (سورة الضحى), "Your Lord has not abandoned you, nor is He displeased" [Quran, 93:3] — we cannot understand this verse until we understand the seerah and see when and why this verse was revealed. The context is that the Prophet PBUH was worried and concerned that for weeks wahy (وحي - revelation) hadn't come down, so he began thinking, "Maybe Allah has abandoned me." This is the first year of revelation, and shaytan (شيطان - devil) is giving him bad thoughts; so Allah SWT revealed Surah al-Duha to comfort him PBUH. Until we understand this, the surah doesn't make much sense. So the Quran gains meaning by studying the seerah.

However, of the 'issues' of the Quran is that (i) it is not chronological, and (ii) it does not mention reference. For example, Allah does not mention the word "Uhud" in the Quran, so we need to know that a portion of Surah Ali-Imran (سورة آل عمران) was revealed for Uhud. So the seerah and the Quran go hand in hand: You need the seerah to understand the Quran, and you need the Quran to understand the seerah. a b Qadhi, Yasir (November 10, 2008).

Values section on the other hand is very special. We created it for only one thing in mind; to create a peaceful corner that features just inspiring and uplifting material, focused around Universal Values to be reflect upon -- at a time never needed more desperately than now Qadhi taught in the Religious Studies Department of Rhodes College, in Memphis, Tennessee. He previously was the Dean of Academic Affairs and an instructor for the AlMaghrib Institute, [7] a seminar-based Islamic education institution founded in 2001. The instructors travel to teach Islamic studies in English. He moved to the Dallas metropolitan area in early 2019, becoming the resident scholar of the East Plano Islamic Center. He is the Dean of Academic Affairs at The Islamic Seminary of America. [16] However, there was a very famous scholar by the name of Dr. Hamidullah (حميد الله) (d. 2002 CE) came along, he became one of the greatest scholars/researchers in Orientalism, and he discovered many manuscripts of Islam in various lands of Europe; and one of them was a partial copy of [Seerat] Ibn Ishaq — around ¼ of the entire book. He edited and published it, and when now we compare Ibn Ishaq to Ibn Hisham, we find that it is exactly as Ibn Hisham said— he simply cut off around half of the work of Ibn Ishaq. What did he cut off? Long poetry, the lineage of the Arabs, etc. So now when we read Ibn Hisham, we know for sure that we are reading something written just around 100 years after the death of the Prophet PBUH, and this is amazing.
