It argues that the Sīrah provides a holistic model that moves beyond mere historical narrative to offer a dynamic paradigm for human development, seamlessly merging the acquisition of knowledge with the cultivation of impeccable character (Iḥsān). The primary research objective is to derive core ethical principles from the Sīrah, such as compassion in mentorship and the primacy of action over speech, and to analyze their practical implementation, i.e., how these very principles were adopted, adapted, and propagated in the context of Sufism in the Subcontinent. This study narrows its focus to a specific case study: the contributions of Ḥaḍrat Mujaddid Alf e Thānī (d. 1624). It examines how he embedded the Prophetic ethical model into his teachings and reformist efforts. His methodology transformed his circle into a hub of learning that served not only as a theological seminary but also as a vibrant community for moral reformation and social upliftment, directly applying the Sīrah’s ethical lessons to the socio-religious context of Mughal India. Ultimately, through this historical analysis, this application positioned the Sīrah not as a historical artifact, but as a living, operative paradigm for spiritual and intellectual reform, as exemplified by the Mujaddid’s work.</p> <p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Sīrah of the Prophet Muḥammad (Peace be upon him), Spiritual Purification, Sufism, Ethics, Prophetic Model, Mujaddid Alf-e-Thānī, Mughal India.</p> 2025-12-30T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 JSS https://ojs.aiou.edu.pk/index.php/jss/article/view/3261 حضرت بابا فرید الدین مسعود گنج شکر رحمۃ اللہ کے ملفوظات میں سیرت کے نقوش: تحقیقی و تنقیدی جائزہ 2025-11-17T18:01:42+00:00 Muhammad Ziarif mziarif69@gmail.com <p>In the Indian subcontinent soufis have always enjoyed a highly respected status.

The analysis engages with Qur’anic principles and Prophetic traditions that address psychological challenges such as distress, despair, and inner conflict, while emphasizing practices that nurture resilience, hope, and spiritual tranquility. Central to the discussion are the Prophet’s teachings on empathy, patience, compassion, and moral discipline, which serve as timeless models for psychological care. In addition, the intellectual and spiritual contributions of South Asian Sufi scholars are examined, as their writings and practices illuminate the ways in which the Prophetic model has been interpreted and applied to foster spiritual growth, emotional healing, and ethical transformation within diverse social contexts. By integrating the Prophetic tradition with Sufi thought, the study frames an interdisciplinary perspective that situates Islamic teachings as a resource for understanding and addressing human psychology. This approach not only enriches the discourse on the psychological dimensions of the Sunnah but also highlights its relevance to contemporary discussions on mental health, spirituality, and holistic well-being.</p> 2025-12-30T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 JSS https://ojs.aiou.edu.pk/index.php/jss/article/view/3352 مکتوبات امام ربانی میں سیرت کے نقوش 2025-12-17T23:28:47+00:00 Muahammad Saleem muhammadsaleemat15@gmail.com <p>بر صغیر کے علماء نے سیرت نبوی صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی تدوین،تشریح اور ترویج میں غیر معمولی علمی خدمات انجام دی ہیں۔بر صغیر کے علماء نے سیرت کو محض تاریخی واقعات کے بیان تک محدود نہیں رکھا بلکہ اسے فکر ،عمل اخلاق،سیاست اور اصلاح امت کے کے جامع منہج کے طور پر پیش کیا۔</p> <p>یہ مقالہ برصغیر کے&nbsp; نامور صوفی بزرگ حضرت مجدد الف ثانی رحمہ اللہ کی مکتوبات میں نقوش&nbsp; سیرت سے متعلق ہے۔جس میں یہ بتانے&nbsp; کی کوشش کی گئ ہے کہ کس طرح اس صوفی باصفا نے اپنے معاصر فکری،سماجی اور استعماری چیلینجز کے تناظر میں فاضل علام نے سیرت نبوی کو رہنمائے حیات کے طور پر پیش کیا۔</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> 2025-12-30T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 JSS https://ojs.aiou.edu.pk/index.php/jss/article/view/3355 Aspects of Seerah in the poetry of Maulana Muhammad Akram Awan (R.A) 2025-12-20T10:16:09+00:00 Dr.Mubbasher Hassan Awan awan.ghazi@gmail.com <p>Maulana Muhammad Akram Awan (d:2017) was the Sheikh of the&nbsp; Silsila Naqshbandiah Owaisiah and a versatile personality.

He believes that improving relationships can only be achieved by returning to the practical model embodied in the Prophet's (ﷺ) conduct, as he is the exemplar in dealing with others, gentleness, justice, reconciliation, and humility towards both young and old. He emphasizes that repairing relationships begins with repairing hearts, through instilling faith, strengthening inner conscience, and developing a sense of awareness and piety, because conduct is the fruit of belief.</p> <p>Sheikh (رحمہ اللہ) focused on refining the soul, controlling anger, improving morals, and being patient with the harm inflicted by others. In his view, the Prophet’s(ﷺ) biography, is a school for creating a balanced person who treats his family and community well. He explains that the Prophet, (ﷺ) established a refined society through mercy, not violence, and reformed souls through tolerance, forgiveness, and kindness. This is the basis for reforming relationships within the family and society.</p> <p>He emphasized the justice of the Messenger(ﷺ) in all his dealings: between his wives, his companions, and his family, which makes justice an important pillar in reforming social relations. He points to the style of the Messenger(ﷺ)in addressing his companions and his family with kind and refined words, and calming souls. Taking into account everyone’s feelings, which reflects the importance of constructive dialogue in the life of a Muslim. He explains that the Prophet’s (ﷺ) methodology in reform was truly practical, dealing with situations in a manner appropriate to the time, place, and circumstances, far from rigidity and excessive leniency.</p> <p>In conclusion, Sheikh Nadawi’s methodology in addressing the reform of social interaction in the Prophet’s (ﷺ) biography is based on reviving the Muhammadan model of mercy, morality, justice, and building the human being from within. It is an educational methodology that aims to reform the individual and society together through the biography as a way of life.</p> <p><strong>Keywords</strong>: Methodology, social interaction, purification, reforms, Muhammadan model, dialogue, circumstances.&nbsp;</p> 2025-12-30T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 JSS https://ojs.aiou.edu.pk/index.php/jss/article/view/3071 The Psychological Sanctuary: Exploring the Prophet’s Sleep Habits in Seerat-e-Nabwi 2025-09-01T07:30:27+00:00 Maria Imtiaz mariaimtiaz16@gmail.com Toseef Tariq toseeftariq300@gmail.com <p>Seerat-e-Nabwi, the biography of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), is not just a history reading; it<br>shows the way people should behave, their spirituality, and the state of their minds. The prophet's<br>sleep habits - Qailulah (midday nap), Tahajjud (night prayer), and right-side sleeping - were the<br>main events of his biography, which also had a tremendous psychological impact. These habits,<br>based on faith, discipline, and simplicity, also reflected a lifestyle that was both physically and<br>spiritually balanced. As a result, they provided the world with a new perspective on mental<br>health that is easily relatable to both Islamic tradition and modern science. This paper examines<br>the information on the sleep habits of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as mentioned in<br>Seerat-e-Nabwi and Hadith literature, presenting it as a holistic framework for psychological<br>well-being from an Islamic perspective. The paper successfully merges Quranic verses, Prophetic<br>Traditions, and empirical data on sleep hygiene and mental health by employing a hermeneutical<br>method from uṣūl al-tafsīr and ḥadīth criticism in conjunction with qualitative health research.<br>This research work highlights several points where the Model of the Prophet as an anticipator of<br>Modern Sleep Science Principles is close to being true, and, at the same time, it does not rule out<br>that the Model is endowed with further metaphysical and moral dimensions beyond those already<br>known. The model of the study that releases science principles of modern sleep in the prophetic<br>heritage tradition not only brings together, through the acknowledgment of sleep as worship,<br>spiritual practice, and contemporary health discourse, but also extends further horizons of<br>spirituality in the Muslim context, therefore, opening a new area of the psychological domain<br>that is culturally rooted.</p> 2025-12-30T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 JSS https://ojs.aiou.edu.pk/index.php/jss/article/view/3005 کتاب اسماءالنبیﷺاز (صوفی برکت علی رح)کا مطالعہ سیرت 2025-07-24T09:11:40+00:00 Dr. Hafiz Muhammad Ahsan Raza ahsanraza6281@gmail.com Saba Ghaffar sabaghaffar171994@gmail.com <p>The book <em>Asma al-Nabi ﷺ</em> (The Names of the Prophet) by the renowned spiritual figure Sufi Barkat Ali (ra) presents a unique and heartfelt perspective on the blessed life and personality of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Rather than narrating a chronological biography, this work is a compilation of the Prophet’s beautiful names, each reflecting a specific aspect of his noble character, status, and mission.</p> <p>This study explores the spiritual, educational, and emotional value of the book, positioning it not just as a literary work, but as a devotional guide. The names mentioned—drawn from the Qur’an, Hadith, and historical Islamic literature—are not merely linguistic identifiers; they serve as windows into the vast and multifaceted personality of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.</p> <p>The necessity of studying these names arises from the Quranic tradition itself, where Allah has honored His Prophet with multiple titles and attributes. Learning, reflecting upon, and internalizing these names foster a deep emotional connection, increasing reverence, love, and spiritual intimacy with the Prophet ﷺ.</p> <p>Furthermore, in Sufi Barkat Ali’s treatment, these names become tools for spiritual transformation. The book encourages the reader to not only admire the qualities of the Prophet ﷺ but to aspire toward them in personal conduct. It serves as a means of moral education, spiritual upliftment, and psychological healing through the remembrance of the most perfect human being.</p> <p>This abstract emphasizes how such works contribute to Seerah literature from a unique angle—not historical, but experiential. The reader is invited to contemplate the mercy, wisdom, justice, and beauty of the Prophet ﷺ through his names, which serve as doorways to his life and legacy.</p> 2025-12-30T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 JSS https://ojs.aiou.edu.pk/index.php/jss/article/view/3272 Qadi Sana' ullah Panipati's Approach to Hadith and Seerah: An Analytical Study of Irshad-al-Talibin 2025-11-25T11:59:03+00:00 Saba Naz punjabuniversity310516@gmail.com <p><strong>&nbsp;ارشاد الطالبین میں روایاتِ حدیث و سیرت اور قاضی ثناء الله پانی پتی نقشبندی کا منہج و استدلال</strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;">قاضی ثناء اللہ پانی پتی نقشبندی مجددی(1722ء – 1810ء)شیخ جلال کبیر الاولیاء&nbsp; پانی پتی ؒ کی اولاد میں &nbsp;سے ہیں اور ان کا نسب&nbsp; بارہ واسطوں سے&nbsp; امیر المومنین حضرت عثمان رضی اللہ عنہ تک پہنچتا ہے۔ قاضی صاحب&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;بیک وقت مفسر، محدث، فقیہ و متکلم، اور صوفی تھے۔ آپ نے تصوف کے&nbsp; موضوع پر 'ارشاد الطالبین' کے نام سے ایک کتاب عربی اور فارسی زبان&nbsp; میں مرتب کی جو&nbsp; اپنی گیرائی، گہرائی، تجزیہ مضامین اور حسن تفہیم کے اعتبار سے صوفیانہ تصانیف&nbsp; میں ایک منفرد&nbsp; مقام رکھتی ہے۔ رسول اللہ ﷺ&nbsp; کی اطاعت و اتباع اس تالیف کا اصل مقصد ہے۔ اس کتاب میں سیرت النبی کے عرفانی پہلو کو اجاگر کیا گیا ہے۔ &nbsp;اس کتاب کے بغور مطالعہ سے&nbsp; ایک مسلمان کا &nbsp;ظاہر ،سنت نبوی ﷺ کے سانچے میں ڈھل سکتا ہے اور اس کے حواس باطنی کو چشمہ معرفت کا سراغ مل سکتا ہے۔</li> </ul> <p style="font-weight: 400;">&nbsp; &nbsp;فی زمانہ سلسلہ طریقت اور خانقاہی نظام میں جو خرابیاں اور بدعات در آئی ہیں، ولایت کے حوالے سے لوگوں میں جو غلط فہمیاں پیدا ہو گئی ہیں اور اولیاء کی کرامات اور رتبے کے سلسلے میں جو &nbsp;افراط و تفریط پائی جاتی ہے اس کو دور کرنے کے لیے یہ کتاب &nbsp;مرتب کی گئی &nbsp;&nbsp;تاکہ لوگو ں کو اصل حقیقت معلوم ہو۔ اس کتاب میں باطنی علوم&nbsp; کی معرفت، &nbsp;باطنی کمالات کے حصول کے&nbsp; طریقے، &nbsp;&nbsp;روحانیت کے اسرار و رموز ، ولایت&nbsp; کے&nbsp; مراتب و &nbsp;دلائل، کرامات کی&nbsp; اقسام و حیثیت، &nbsp;سالکین کے اوصاف و آداب ، کاملوں اور مرشدوں کے آداب، قرب الٰہی کے اسباب اور ان میں ترقی کے عوامل &nbsp;و &nbsp;مقامات بیان کرنے، اور صوفیانہ اصطلاحات کی وضاحت کے لیے قرآن حکیم ،نبی کریم ؐ کی ا حادیث مبارکہ و سیرت طیبہ سے استدلال کیا گیا&nbsp; ہے۔اس کتاب میں سیرت نبوی زمانی ترتیب پر نہیں&nbsp; بلکہ تزکیہ نفس کے پیش ِ نظر &nbsp;بیان کی گئی ہے۔ سیرت و احادیث&nbsp; نبوی سے مختلف مسائل کا استنباط&nbsp; قاضی صاحب کی&nbsp; بلند نگاہی، عمیق نظری اور معاشرے کے گہرے مشاہدہ پر دلالت کرتا ہے۔</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">&nbsp;کلیدی الفاظ : ثناء الله، پانی پتی، ارشاد الطالبین ، تصوف، تزکیہ، روحانیت، ولایت، احادیث مبارکہ، استنباط</p> 2025-12-30T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 JSS https://ojs.aiou.edu.pk/index.php/jss/article/view/3365 ملفوظات فوائد اور نقوش سیرت 2025-12-23T10:35:30+00:00 ڈاکٹر حافظ محمد سعد اللہ jss@aiou.edu.pk <p>اہل علم اور تصوُّف سے دلچسپی رکھنے والے حضرات سے یہ امر مخفی نہیں کہ برصغیر پاک و ہند میں کئی عقیدتمندوں ، مریدوں اور خلفاء نے بڑی عقیدت و تحقیق اور محنت سے اپنے اپنے مشائخ کے مجلسی ملفوظات و ارشادات جمع کیے ہیں۔ حتیٰ کہ ہمارے محدوح&nbsp; حضرت خواجہ نظام الدین اولیاء محبوب الہی رحمۃاللہ علیہ &nbsp;(253 ھ ) کے ملفوظات کے (۳، ۴)تین چار&nbsp; تالیف&nbsp;&nbsp; مجموعے پائے جاتے ہیں۔ مثلاًحضرت امیر خسرو رحمۃاللہ علیہ نے افضل الفواد ( ۷۱۳ تا ۷۱۵ ھ ) اور رحۃ لمحبین&nbsp; (زمانہ تالیف (۷۱۹ تا ۷۲۱ ھ ) کے عنوان نے ملفوظات کے دو مجموعے مرتب کیے۔ اس طرح سید مبارک علوی کرمانی نے ’’سیدالدولیاء‘‘ کے نامہ سے ایک مجموعہ جمع کیا۔ مگر ان تمام ملفوظات یا ’’ملفوظات ادب‘‘ میں جو شہرت مقبولیت اور عوام و خواص کے نزدیک پذیرائی ان کے ملفوظات فوائد الفواد مرتبہ خواجہ حسن علاء سجزی م ۷۳۶ھ ) کے حمعروف یہ خواجہ حسن دہلوی کے حصہ میں آئی ہے وہ کسی دوسرے مجمععے کے حصے میں نہیں آسکی ۔ اس کے زبان فارسی ہے اور پانچ جلدوں / حصوں میں ۳ شعبان ۷۰۷ھ تا ۱۹ شعبان ۷۲۲ ھ تقریباً پندرہ سال تک کی ایک سوایک سو اٹھاسی (۱۸۸) مجالسی میں حضرت خواجہ صاحب رحمۃ اللہ&nbsp; کی گفتگو، ملفوظات اور ارشادات پر مشتمل ہے۔ اس فارسی مجموعہ کیا اردو ترجمہ بھی دستیاب ہے۔</p> 2025-12-30T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 JSS https://ojs.aiou.edu.pk/index.php/jss/article/view/3065 پیر مہر علی شاہؒ کی منتخب نعتیہ شاعری میں سیرتِ طیبہ ﷺ کا جمالیاتی اظہار 2025-08-29T09:59:15+00:00 Hassan Mujtaba hassanmujtaba11@yahoo.com <p>This study explores the aesthetic representation of the <em>Seerat-un-Nabiﷺ</em> &nbsp;in the Na‘at poetry of Pir Meher Ali Shah Golravi (1859–1937), focusing on his poetic collection <em>Mirat-ul-Irfan</em>.

In the teachings of Sufi saints, “remembrance of the Beloved” and “obedience to the Beloved” occupy a central place, where the “Beloved” refers to the august person of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. For this reason, among Sufi poets, the depiction of the Prophetic biography ﷺ is not merely an expression of devotion and love, but also a means of spiritual training and adherence to the Prophetic model ﷺ.</p> <p>Hafiz Jamalullah Multani (d. 1250 AH) is among the distinguished Sufis of the subcontinent whose discourses (<em>malfuzat</em>) articulate the spiritual and ethical dimensions of the Prophetic biography ﷺ with profound influence and intellectual insight. His disciple, Khwaja Ghulam Hasan Multani Shaheed, rendered this Sufi understanding of the Prophetic life into poetic form in his renowned work <em>Anwar-e-Jamaliyah</em>. The seventeen Persian <em>na‘ts</em> included in the preface of this book are derived from the gatherings of Hafiz Jamalullah Multani’s <em>malfuzat</em>, presenting a luminous example of the <em>Mawlid</em> poetic tradition.</p> <p>In these <em>na‘ts</em>, along with portrayals of the beauty, perfection, and exalted status of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, the poet’s fervent emotions, longing for vision, and yearning for union are vividly evident.

Through practices such as dhikr (remembrance of God), worship, mujahada (striving against the self), riyadat discipline seclusion meditation and companionship of the righteous, the Sufis sought purification of the soul and reformation of the heart. These spiritual engagements not only contributed to the moral and inner development of individuals but also exerted profound influence on the collection ethical and intellectual structure of the Muslim community. The efforts of the Sufis were not confined to personal mystical experiences; rather they were firmly rooted in the primary sources of Islam, namely the Qur’an, the tradition of the Prophet the Prophetic biography search and established juristic principles. In this regard, Sufism emerges as a comprehensive spiritual and moral system that maintains full harmony with the Shariah. The present study analytically examines the ways in which the Sufis drew upon these fundamental Islamic sources and integrated their spiritual practices into a coherent framework that provided enduring ethical and intellectual to the Muslim Ummah.</p> 2025-12-30T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 JSS
