Class Description


Step into a heart-warming journey to know and love the Beloved of Allah, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.  This five-week class introduces teen girls to the beauty and character of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, nurturing love, admiration, and connection with him as a timeless role model. Students will explore his radiant beauty, his balance of gentle mercy and strength, his simplicity and daily habits, his deep love and care for his ummah, and his profound devotion and closeness to Allah. They will be guided to see how the Prophet’s ﷺ  example is both relatable and transformative in their own lives. Through stories that touch the soul and reflections that inspire action, students will discover how his example brings light, comfort, and strength to their own lives. 

This class is an invitation to love the Prophet ﷺ, to feel his care across the centuries, and to walk with more faith, confidence, and hope in a world that deeply needs his example. The course aims to instill confidence, compassion, and spiritual resilience in young Muslim women, helping them walk in his footsteps with grace and faith. 



Class Outline


Week 1:  The Radiance of the Prophet ﷺ

In the first week, students will explore the Prophet’s ﷺ  physical beauty, radiant presence, and graceful demeanor. They will learn how his outer beauty reflected his inner light and closeness to Allah, and reflect on how they can bring light and positivity into their own lives. 


Week 2:  Mercy, Strength, and Character 

This week, the class will focus on the Prophet’s ﷺ  kind, gentle, and humble character. Students will study examples of how he balanced strength with compassion, treated others with fairness, and forgave even those who harmed him. Together, they will reflect on ways to embody these traits in their own friendships, family relationships, and school life. 


Week 3:  Simplicity and Daily Habits 

We will explore the Prophet’s ﷺ  daily routines, manners, eating habits, personal care, and worship practices. Students will come to understand the beauty of simplicity and how even small actions can bring a person closer to Allah ﷻ.  As part of this lesson, students will be encouraged to practice simple sunnah habits in their daily lives. 


Week 4:  Love and Care for the Ummah  
 
This week will highlight the Prophet’s ﷺ  love, prayers, and care for his followers. Students will explore stories of his mercy, guidance, and longing for his ummah across generations. They will then reflect on how they themselves can show care, kindness, and support to those around them. 


Week 5:  Devotion and Connection with Allah 

In our final week, students will study the Prophet’s ﷺ  special relationship with Allah ﷻ  through prayer, dhikr, and trust in every situation. They will see how his devotion gave him strength, guidance, and resilience, and will reflect on ways to strengthen their own connection with Allah ﷻ  and live with greater purpose and faith.
