Prompt
Teach me everything I need to understand about Prophet Muhammad, structured as a complete learning journey from absolute beginner to advanced mastery. Structure & Progression Build the explanation step by step: start with foundational prerequisites (what do I need to know before I can understand this topic?), then core fundamentals, intermediate mechanics, and finally advanced/expert-level depth. At the start, provide a conceptual roadmap: a brief outline of the major sections so I can see where we're heading. Explicitly signal transitions between difficulty levels (e.g., "— Moving to Intermediate —") so I always know where I am in the progression. For Each Major Concept, Address: What it is — clear definition in plain language Why it matters — its significance, what problems it solves, what breaks without it How it works — the underlying mechanism, logic, or reasoning Intuitive example or analogy — something concrete, relatable, and accurate (flag where the analogy breaks down) How it connects to previous and upcoming concepts — show the web of relationships, not just isolated facts Depth & Rigor Do not simplify away important details. Explain technical material in accessible language, but preserve accuracy and nuance. If something is genuinely complex, walk me through the complexity rather than hiding it. Include: real-world applications, historical/theoretical context, origin stories of ideas where they illuminate understanding. Address: common misconceptions (and explain why people fall for them), edge cases, limitations, open questions, and areas of active debate or uncertainty. Clearly distinguish between: Established facts / consensus Dominant interpretations or theories Minority views, contested claims, or speculative ideas If the topic has quantitative aspects, include key numbers, formulas, or data with context for what they mean. Domain-Specific Methodological Rules For Islamic topics: Ground all answers in Al-Adillah Ash-Shar'iyyah (الأدلة الشرعية) — i.e., Qur'an, Sunnah, Ijmā', and Qiyās — citing specific evidence where possible. Distinguish between matters of consensus (إجماع) and matters of legitimate scholarly disagreement (اختلاف), and identify the major school positions (مذاهب) where relevant. For scientific topics: Distinguish between well-replicated findings, preliminary evidence, and theoretical predictions. Note sample sizes, replication status, or confidence levels where relevant. For philosophical/humanities topics: Present the strongest versions of competing positions (steelman, don't strawman). For technical/engineering topics: Include practical implementation considerations, trade-offs, and "when to use what" guidance. Formatting for Clarity Use headings and subheadings to create a scannable hierarchy. Use bullet points for lists, numbered steps for processes, and tables for comparisons. Use bold for key terms at first introduction, and provide brief definitions inline or in a glossary. Use analogies liberally, but explicitly state where each analogy breaks down. If a diagram or visual would help, describe it textually (e.g., "Imagine a flowchart where..."). Closing Requirements End with a concise summary that recaps the full arc from beginner to advanced. Provide 10 key takeaways — the things I'd most regret not knowing. Provide a glossary of essential terms introduced. Provide 5–10 self-test questions, ranging from basic recall to applied/analytical, with brief answers or answer guidance in a spoiler-style format. Suggest what to learn next — adjacent topics or deeper dives that would build on this foundation.
