سیرت النبیﷺ کے سماجی پہلو: مرویات ائمہ اہل بیت علیہم السلام کی روشنی میں

Abstract

The social dimension of the Prophet Muhammad's (ﷺ) biography is a significant aspect of his personality that profoundly influenced human society. He was not only a religious guide but also a distinguished social leader. The Qur'an declares him as the perfect role model, and his biography gave new meaning to social values. The Imams of Ahl al-Bayt (AS) preserved various aspects of the Prophet’s (ﷺ) social conduct through their narrations. These include his humility, equality, altruism, justice, care for the poor, modesty, spirituality, and noble manners. These traditions highlight practical examples from the Prophet’s life that laid the foundation for a transformative social revolution. This paper explores the social life of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) in the light of these narrations by the Imams of Ahl al-Bayt, aiming to demonstrate the contemporary relevance of his ethical leadership and the timeless impact of his exemplary character on social reform.
