A RESEARCH AND ANALYTICAL STUDY OF THE DA‘WAH TARBIYAH AND ORGANIZATIONAL PHASES OF THE PROPHETIC SEERAH IN THE LIGHT OF DR ISRAR AHMAD’S CONCEPT OF MINHAJ E INQILAB E NABAWI

Abstract

The Prophetic Seerah is a foundational source of moral, spiritual, social, and civilizational guidance. A recurring problem in contemporary Seerah studies is how to move beyond a predominantly event-based reading without imposing modern political categories on the Prophetic model. This study examines Dr. Israr Ahmad’s concept of Minhaj-e-Inqilab-e-Nabawi as a structured interpretive framework for understanding the phases of da‘wah, tarbiyah, organization, patience, and social transformation. Employing a qualitative textual method supported by descriptive, analytical, comparative, and critical reading, the study analyzes Minhaj-e-Inqilab-e-Nabawi alongside the Holy Qur’an, classical Seerah sources, and selected modern scholarship. Its principal scholarly contribution is to organize Dr. Israr Ahmad’s interpretation into three interrelated analytical domains da‘wah, tarbiyah, and organization and to evaluate their contemporary relevance. The findings show that the framework can illuminate processes of intellectual awakening, character formation, disciplined collective action, and social responsibility, provided that its application remains governed by Prophetic mercy, ethical restraint, non-violence, legal responsibility, scholarly balance, and the higher objectives of Shari‘ah. The study also clarifies conceptual limits intended to prevent anachronistic or coercive readings of the term “revolution.”
