UNDERSTANDING THE CONDUCT OF THE HOLY PROPHET: GOALS, CHARACTERISTICS AND SOURCES ABSTRACT In the Sharia (legitimacy), “Seerat” is regarded as a special term that covers all aspects of the Holy life of the Messenger of Allah. In the history of the human kind, the Holy Prophet is the only person with a glorious and a comprehensive personality. His all-inclusive life is carefully recorded in the “Seerat” that is serving as a beacon of light for the people across the globe. No other example could be found where a biography is recorded such meticulously and comprehensively. Even very less is known about the lives of other prophets of Islam. On the other hand, Seerat is the manifestation of an ideal human life that everyone strives to adopt; however, it requires a great deal of knowledge, understanding and efforts. Therefore, in the present article, it will be analyzed how a Muslim can understand and adopt “Seerat” so that he can be successful in achieving the real goal of his life.
