This book is a translation of the concluding section of al-Fada’il al-Muhammadiyah by al-Shaykh Yusuf ibn Isma'il al-Nabhani – with foreword by al-Ustadh Nazruddin Minhaj.
This book aims to translate our principles of faith in the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ into practical applications – into fulfilling our obligations and commitments to the Prophet ﷺ.
It begins by discussing the obligations to have faith in and obey the Prophet ﷺ, highlighting that obedience to him is obedience to Allah, and emphasising the importance of adhering to his noble Sunnah.
It then extensively elaborates on the obligation, merits, examples and signs of loving the Prophet ﷺ that reflect a Muslim’s sincerity to him, while also detailing the obligation to exalt, dignify and honour him both during his lifetime and after his departure.
It concludes with an explanation on the permissibility and benefits of seeking help through the Prophet ﷺ based on authentic reports, and an outline on visiting him as one of the greatest acts of seeking closeness to Allah and His Messenger.
This translation work serves as a guide to deepen our love for the Prophet ﷺ, and ultimately to obey, follow and emulate his honourable self.
