Habib Ali al-Jifri taught three classes on the portrait (shama'il) of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as mentioned in the famous tradition of Hind ibn Abi Hala.

Habib Ali introduced the topic by explaining that four sciences contribute to the study of the Prophet ﷺ:
1. Prophetic biography (Sira)
2. Prophetic description (Shama'il)
3. Special Qualities of the Prophet (Khasa'is)
4. Proofs of Prophecy (Dala'il)

Studying the prophetic portrait is important because it illustrates the comprehensive beauty of the Messenger of God ﷺ. Beauty is both inward and outward and shama'il encompasses both.

Habib Ali concluded the first lesson with a reminder that the message (Islam) and the messenger (Prophet Muhammad) are inextricably linked. He said that the message is not detached from the messenger, the message is in the messenger and the message is the messenger ﷺ.

In the third and final class Habib Ali concluded his commentary on the tradition of Hind with a reminder to the students to long, yearn and wish for seeing and meeting the Prophet ﷺ.

Singing praise upon the Prophet ﷺ and playing the Daff is healing for my soul…💚

Mai Naat Teri Parna, Mai Zikr Tera Karna
Is Zikr di Barkat Naal, Meri Qabr Vasa Dena…💚

Every moment all I see is Madina and the Valley Where I'll be,
And my thoughts only of Muhammad
In my heart that's enough for me 

At that time when the angels come 
to question me in my grave 
At that time on my lips will shine 
only words of Naat e Nabi Ho…💚 

I share my recitals with the intention of stirring love of the Prophet ﷺ in everyone’s hearts. If I leave this world, May this be the reason, I am accepted by the Prophet ﷺ…💚
