Loving the Prophet ﷺ is an obligation for every believer, and one can only love the beloved by learning about his life, character and appearance.

Following the study circle, I have put together a short list of essential resources of videos, books and audio lectures which you should all look through. But the thing to remember most is that one learns from the prophet ﷺ by sitting with his inheritors – the scholars! I encourage you all to attend some form of circle of knowledge with a teacher to not just learn from their words but their actions too. There is so much available at different times, mediums and places that really we have no excuse!

I pray these resources are useful and increase our love and praise for the prophet. Ameen!

NOTE: I have provided the links to where you can purchase copies where applicable. I would encourage you all to support the authors of the books / lectures
