Seerah: The Story of Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam Madinah is the second part of the two book series Dear Muslim Child Hayya al-Falah Come to Success.
The first lesson brings students into the new city where Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam and his followers are building the first Islamic government. The lessons go step by step to simplify very complex concepts. I am providing lesson plans to facilitate teaching ease in Muslim classrooms around the world, Insha Allah.

Dear Muslim child imagine having the best neighbor our Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam. What do you think his house looked liked? Do you think he lived in castle or mansion as leaders today do? page 6
By the second year of Hijrah, the Muslim population had grown. There was a need to inform all the Muslims to come to Salaah. Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam asked his Sahabah for their advice. page 8
Our prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam was not only the leader of the Muslims within Madinah but the leader all the people in the city. He sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam made an agreement with the people of Madinah. There were three main groups: the Muslims, non-Muslim Arabs, and Jewish tribes. page10
Our prophet’s ummah was growing, many other groups did not want him to succeed. Enemies of Allah and His prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam were planning and threatening the Muslims. Our Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam needed to be guarded at night so he could sleep safely, dear Muslim child. Muslim defenders were sent out around the city’s edge to ensure the safety of the city and to be aware of any threats from enemy tribes.
The battle began and when the fighting was furious prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam made du’a “O, Allah! Should this group (of Muslims) be defeated today, You will no longer be worshipped.”
Allah answered by sending a thousand angels! “I will help you with a thousand of the angels each behind the other (following one another) in succession.” (Surah 8:9)
Prisoners were not killed or tortured not even those who had committed crimes against the Muslims. They were given the chance to pay for their freedom, dear Muslim child. The payment fee was in accordance with the wealth of the individual. Others who could not pay could free themselves after teaching ten children how to read and write. Some were even released without payment because of their poor condition.
The Muslims now in a very weak position were being overtaken by the Makkans. In the heat of the battle our prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam was injured and bleeding from his head! In the confusion news spread that he had been killed. The Muslims lost focus. They were devasted thinking Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam dead. One of the fighters said he would prefer to die with Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam
