Sirah is a source of information about Prophet Muhammad p.b.u.h. but it teaches us the skills to lead a successful and meaningful life. We can learn valuable lesson from every event and incident of Prophet Muhammad’s life. One example is his (p.b.u.h.) visit to Taif. It was a very painful experience for him but we can learn very important lesson and skills for our daily life. We learn that: One who has a purpose can face problems, bear losses and rise above all circumstances; that every matter of life should be dealt with Hikma and wisdom; that Allah opens a new door when all the doors seem closed; that Dua (prayer) is the most powerful weapon of a Muslim; that one should use all the means and sources, make all efforts and let Allah do the rest; that when one tries sincerely Allah Almighty consoles his pain etc. This paper deals with some of the lesson we learn from Prophet Muhammad’s (p.b.u.h.) visit to Taif. It teaches as to live with a clear WHY and to be patient for that purpose and that difficulty entails opportunity. But these lesson could only be learnt when we study Sirah seriously with sincerity and keenness.
