Role of Sahabiyyat in Framing Sirah Literature

The holy life of Prophet Muhammad (S) is the central theme of Sirah literature. It is preserved through historical records and Hadith transmissions. Within this tradition, the role of the earliest female companions (Sahabiyyat) was indispensable, as they transmitted many Hadith that have a vital role in Sirah literature. Their narrations ensure how the Prophet (S) performed his life as a public leader, as a spiritual leader, as a family member, and so on.

The foremost transmitter, Aishah (R), who narrated more than 2,000 Hadith, recognized by Companions and later scholars as an authentic source about the Prophet (S). Her knowledge preserved essential details of the Prophet’s worship, character, and family life. Without her contributions, a major portion of the Prophet’s life would not have been remained in Sirah literature. Similarly, Umm Salamah (R) transmitted valuable Hadith, including her narration of the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, which highlighted the Prophet’s political wisdom, patience, and ability to maintain unity in difficult circumstances. Another important figure, Asma bint Abi Bakr (R), narrated the event of the Prophet’s migration (Hijrah) from Makkah to Madinah, a major event in Islamic history. Likewise, Fatimah bint Qays (R) preserved the narration of the event of Tamim al-Dari and the Dajjal, which revealed the Prophet’s method of validating reports and guiding his community.

The legacy of these Sahabiyyat was carried forward by the Tabi‘iyyat (women of the next generation). Amrah bint Abd al-Rahman, one of the most trustworthy transmitters of Hadith, was a student of Aishah. Similarly, Fatimah bint al-Mundhir, granddaughter of Asma bint Abi Bakr, a notable Hadith scholar in the 1st century Hijrah, studied from Asma bint Abi Bakr.

This indicates that how Sahabiyyat shaped the foundations of Sirah literature through their narrations. Their Hadith transmission not only preserved the Prophet’s personal, political, and spiritual legacy with authenticity but also illustrates how women, often marginalized in other societies and communities, were empowered by knowledge in the Muslim community, and it served as evidence of women’s intellectual authority in early Islam. The later expansion of Sirah studies is inseparably linked to their efforts.

Money

The trouble with 

Choosing a life

Where you don’t 

Care about money

Is that you’re sometimes

Worried about money

Because there’s so little of it.

My Gift On Your Bed

Lightning cracks the roof—

Shoves the knife in walls. They bleed

fuses. Your face? A fan

snapped shut—I see that fear.

Snow and coral charred the sheets.

My scars? Testify.

Open: I’ll clamp your throat with dough—

breastfeed you lion-strong—

then rip Nietzsche’s teeth

from your jaw.

BLACK CATS IN THE PARKING LOT

Unwanted flesh: taboo.

Trees witness their birth—heavy with dark.

Wicked rascals? Green want,

barb-tongued. I crave your knuckle-

walk,

lagoon-waist, twin torches

burning through forgetting—

living shadow: bearers of

wild light that no longer breathe

in a grown up’s vehicle heart.

Iron Pilgrim

Iron pilgrim, gouging heaven’s charred tin plate—

You, like me, exiled? Fleeing friendship’s poisoned bait,

Or envy’s thorn? No.

You scrape south—granite-cold—

Mast groaning, timber bent—

Free: no homeland’s ache,

No wound of passion’s blade,

No exile’s weight.

The Role of Self-Discipline in Students’ Success

Abstract:

Self-discipline is one of the key factors that helps students succeed in their academic life. While intelligence and talent are important, they are not always enough to achieve good results. Students who can control their time always achieve their goals with self-discipline. This article discusses how self-discipline affects students’ academic performance. The article also explains that self-discipline can be developed through daily routines, goal setting, and good time management.

Introduction:

Many people think that success in education depends only on intelligence or talent. However, it is clear that self-discipline can also be the main factor in learning something new. Self-discipline means the ability to stay focused, work regularly, and continue studying even when it is hard. This paper asks: how does self-discipline help students achieve better academic results?

Literature Review:

Many researchers agree that self-discipline is a strong factor in education. For example, Brian Tracy, a well-known writer, explained that passion and perseverance are often more important than intelligence. According to his book named “No Excuses”, we are what we repeatedly do; excellence then is not an act but a habit. Other studies show that students with high self-discipline usually finish their tasks on time and get better grades. Self-discipline helps them build habits like daily studying, avoiding social media distractions, and preparing early for exams. These habits are key to success in education.

Methodologies to Learn Self-Discipline:

It is obvious that self-discipline is an ability that can be learned step by step. Actually, there are many effective ways to study with self-discipline. First of all, students should define their own goals and make a plan for their daily activities. Then, they must do them without any excuses. Of course, it will not be easy in the first week, but if they do not give up, self-discipline will become a simple and powerful habit.

The Result:

The results show that students with good self-discipline usually have higher grades. They spend less time on distractions and more time on useful activities like reading or preparing for exams. These students also reported that they felt more motivated and less stressed. On the other hand, students with low self-discipline often postponed their tasks, felt anxious, and achieved lower results.

Discussion:

The findings suggest that self-discipline is very important for academic success. While intelligence and talent help students, they are not enough without discipline. Self-discipline allows students to use their time wisely, stay organized, and keep going even when they face difficulties. However, many students struggle with self-discipline because of distractions, especially phones and social media. Teachers and parents can help students by encouraging time management, creating study schedules, and supporting their goals.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, self-discipline is a key factor in students’ success. It helps them control their time, build positive study habits, and achieve better results. The good news is that self-discipline is not something we are simply born with — it can be learned and improved. Therefore, schools and families should help students to develop this skill so that they can succeed not only in their academic life but also in their future life.

The magic of the moon

One-sidedly, it leaned.

I saw a hug of life in the face.

After a pulse of fear,

A free pause arose in me.

Rays of hope extended beneath the equator.

You know the location of a bleeding wound.

From my heart, woe is me.

A fire that never goes out.

And the fractures of my letters twisted from their pain. Their tears spilled and scattered between the air and the water.

The vapor of your love’s waves.

From the magic of the moon.

Evaporated in space.

No longer condensed.

To bring us together even in winter.

The roses did not grow after you.

I was ashamed to see them without you.

The glances of healing do not appear, they do not blossom.

The flames of longing rush towards me after separation.

Love receded between the covers of a book.

No one reads it.

My verses surrendered.

To prolonged sadness.

From afar, we are…

Not this whole world.

We live without life.
