This advanced sīrah course offers a deep, source-driven exploration of the life of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ through selected chapters of the contemporary work al-Luʾluʾ al-Maknūn by Musa ibn Rāshid al-ʿAzimī. Although modern in authorship, the text is built upon authentic narrations drawn directly from the major hadith collections, allowing students to study the Prophetic biography through verified reports. Guided close readings will highlight how the author compiles, organizes, and analyzes these narrations. Through this careful engagement with evidence-based narration, students will experience the sīrah in a more precise, nuanced, and textually grounded way.
