What is in this book?

This book is for those who want to be something special in life. In every page of the book, there will be such incidents of the life of the Prophet ﷺ that will inspire people greatly. They will readily accept him as a role model.

His life before becoming a prophet will be given more importance in the book. We will see how he developed his personality from childhood. How he faced the challenges of teenage age. How he emerged as a leader in society at a young age.

Usually, the way various events are described in biographies, here they are not described in the way they are described intentionally. In this book, our language is quite homely. Quite simple.

From an Islamic perspective, most of the biographies written about the Prophet ﷺ always have two things in common; the life of the Prophet ﷺ after 40 years and instilling awe in the readers about him. But young readers rarely find themselves in such writings. In books, he is presented as such a perfect man that it is difficult to accept him as a role model. Young people often cannot reconcile the life of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) with the crises that are close to their lives.

However, Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, has very clearly said, ‘Indeed, in the Messenger of Allah you have a good example to follow.’ (33:21)

But the sad thing is that Muslims do not have the close relationship with the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) as they should. Children never imagine that their beloved Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) was once a child like them. He played, ran around. Teenagers never imagine that the challenges they face every day, the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) had to face exactly the same challenges. Our young people do not know how he adapted to change, how he resolved the stalemate. In this book, you will see the child Muhammad, the teenage Muhammad, and the young Muhammad before the prophethood, InshaAllah.

He is undoubtedly the object of our love and respect. We love our beloved leader more than life itself. But we present him as such an awe-inspiring and perfect person that it becomes quite difficult to follow him in our time. Why do we want to present the Prophet ﷺ as difficult?

In this book, the reader will get a new picture of him. They will see how he faced the challenges we face, just like us. He will inspire us to face them.

The reader will also notice that here the realistic picture of the stages of one's own life development has been presented. In the narrative style of traditional books, it often seems that we can be like him? The main purpose is to remove such inferiority and show practical steps.

The Prophet ﷺ was undoubtedly as perfect as a human being can be on earth. But it is true that he was a human being. As a human being, he faced many crises and challenges. There are great similarities between the beloved Prophet and us in these issues. We can follow the Prophet in an instinctive way.

I have brought here many topics from various self-development books. Especially those that fit with Islam, which are found in the life of the Prophet ﷺ. These include topics like social judgment, creativity, adapting to change, and leadership development.

It would not be right to look at this book from the perspective of a traditional biography. It does not fall into that category. Nor is it exactly a self-development book. I have tried to create a unique blend of these two types.
