*❖ Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) ❖*

✺ You Should know this man!

✺ Who is Muhammad (peace be up on him)?

❥❥ "Indeed in the Messenger of Allah you have an excellent example to follow for whoever hopes in Allah and the Last Day and remembers Allah much." (Qur'an 33: 21)

❥❥ Muslims beleive that Muhammad (peace be up on him) is the final Prophet sent to call the people to the obedience and worship of God alone ("Allah" in Arabic). Some of these Prophets include Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon and Jesus (peace be up on them all).

❥❥ Just as Moses (peace be up on him) was sent with the Torah (the original uncorrupted revelation sent to Moses) and Jesus (peace be up on him) with the Gospel (the original, uncorrupted revelation – not the present-day versions), Muslims believe that Muhammad (peace be up on him) was sent with the Qur'an to demonstrate how its teachings should be applied.

❥❥The Prophet's (peace be up on him) wife,  'A'isha, was once asked to describe the Prophet (peace be up on him), and she replied that he was 'the Qur'an walking', meaning he meticulously implemented the noble teachings of the Qur'an into his daily life.

✺ Mission of Mercy

❥❥ "And We (God) have not sent you (Muhammad) except as a mercy for mankind." (Qur'an 21: 107)

❥❥ As well as calling people to pray, fast and give charity, the Prophet (peace be upon him) taught that one's faith in God should also affect one's treatment of others. He said: "The best of you are they who have the best character."

❥❥ Many sayings of the Prophet (peace be upon him) emphasise the relationship between belief and action, for example: "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day sould not hurt his neighbour, and whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, should serve his guest generously, and whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, should speak what is good or keep quiet."

❥❥ The final Messenger (Peace be upon him) taught humans to show mercy and to respect each other: "He who dies not show mercy to others, will not be shown mercy."

❥❥ In another narration, some people requested the Prophet (peace be upon him) to invoke God to punish the disbelievers but he replied: "I have not been sent down as one to curse but as a mercy."

✺ Forgiveness

❥❥ "Let them forgive and overlook: do you not wish that Allah should forgive you? For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (Qur'an 24: 22)

❥❥ The Prophet (peace be upon him) was the most forgiving of all people and the kindest. If someone abused him, he would forgive him, and the harsher a person was, the more patient he would become. He was extremely lenient and forgiving, especially when he had the upper hand and the power to relaliate.

❥❥ Muhammad (peace be upon him) was all for forgiveness and no amount of crime or aggression against him was too great to be forgiven by him. He was the best example of forgiveness and kindness, as mentioned in the following verse of the Qur'an: "Keep to forgiveness (O Muhammad), and enjoin kindness, and turn away from the ignorant." (Qur'an 7: 199)

✺ Equality

❥❥ "Indeed the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you." (Qur'an 49: 13)

❥❥ In the following sayings of the Prophet (peace be upon him), he taught that all humans are equal in the sight of God: "All humanity is from Adam and Adam is from clay. There is no superiority for an Arab over a non-Arab, nor for a black over a white; except through piety."

❥❥ "God does not judge you according to your appearance and your wealth, but He looks at your hearts and looks into your deeds."

❥❥ It is related that once a companion of the Prophet (peace be upon him) called another companion in an offensive way. "Son of a black woman!" The Prophet (peace be upon him), became angry and replied, "Do you condemn him because of the blackness of his mother? You still have within you traces of ignorance from the pre-Islamic period."

✺ Tolerance

❥❥ "Good deeds and evil deeds are not equal. Repel evil with what is best, then he with whom you had enmity shall become as a loyal friend." (Qur'an 41: 34)

❥❥ "You should not do evil to those who do evil to you, but you should deal with them with forgiveness and kindness." This is how the final Messenger of God (peace be upon him) reacted to personal attacks and abuse.

❥❥ Islamic sources include a number of instances where the Prophet (peace be upon him) had the opportunity to take revenge upon those who wronged him, but refrained from doing so.

❥❥ He taught man to exercise patience in the face of adversity. "The strong is not the one who overcomes people by his strength, but the strong is the one who controls himself while in anger."

❥❥ Practising patience and tolerance does not mean that a Muslim should be a passivist and not defend himself in case of attack. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) stated that, "Do not wish to meet the enemy, but when you meet (face) the enemy, be patient (i.e stand firm when facing enemy)."

✺ Gentleness

❥❥ "By the grace of Allah, you are gentle towards the people; if you had been harsh and hard-hearted they would have dispersed from around you." (Qur'an 3: 159)

❥❥ A companion who served Muhammad (peace be upon him) for ten years said that Muhammad (peace be upon him) was always gentle in his dealings with him. "When I did something, he never questioned my manner of doing it; and when I did not do something, he never questioned my failure to do it. He was the friendliest of all men."

❥❥ On one occasion, the wife of the Prophet (peace be upon him) reacted angrily after being insulted by a person. The Prophet (peace be upon him) advised her: "Be gentle and calm, O 'Aisha, as Allah likes gentleness in all affairs."

❥❥ He also said: "Show gentleness! For if gentleness is found in something, it beautifies it, and when it is taken out from anything, it makes it deficient."

✺ Humbleness

❥❥ "And the servants of The Most Gracious (God) are those who walk on the earth in humbleness and when the ignorant address them, they say: 'Peace'." (Qur'an 25: 63)

❥❥ The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to prevent people from standing up for him out of respect. He used to sit wherever there was a place available in an assembly and never sought a prominent or elevated place. He never wore anything to distinguish himself from his companions or appear in higher rank than them. He used to mix with the poor and the needy; he used to sit with the elderly and support the widows. People who did not know him could not tell him apart from the rest of the crowd.

❥❥ Addressing his companions, he used: "Allah has revealed to me, that you must be humble. No one should boast over one another, and no one should oppress another."

❥❥ Such was his humbleness that he was fearful of being worshipped, a privilege only befitting God:

❥❥ "Do not exceed bounds in praising me as the Christians do in praising Jesus, Son of Mary. I am only the Lord's servant; then call me the servant of Allah and His Messenger."

✺ The Ideal Husband

❥❥ "And live with them (your spouses) in kindness." (Qur'an 4: 19)

❥❥ The Prophet's beloved wife, Aa'isha, said of her noble husband: "He always helped with the housework and would at times mend his clothes, repair his shoes and sweep the floor. He would milk, protect and feed his animals and do household chores."

❥❥ Not only was he a devoted husband, he also encouraged his companions to follow his example: "The most perfect of the believers in faith are the best of them in morals. And the best among them are those who are best to their wives."

✺ The Ideal Example

❥❥ "Indeed you (O Muhammad) are on an exalted standard of character." (Qur'an 68: 4)

❥❥ What has preceded is only a glimpse of how Muhammad (peace be upon him) lived his life. The examples of kindness and mercy mentioned may come as a surprise to some people given the portrayal of Islam in the media and its constant misreperesentation.

❥❥ It is important when trying to understand Islam that one goes directly to its sources: The Qur'an and the sayings and actions of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and that anyone does not judge Islam based on the errant actions of a few muslim.

A child doesn’t break loudly. It happens quietly:

 - Be honest with yourself for a moment… When you see a child struggling… angry… insecure… constantly seeking attention… do you ever stop and ask, what did they grow up around? Who was present… and who wasn’t? Who listened… and who dismissed? Who loved… and who controlled? The Prophet ﷺ didn’t just speak about worship… he spoke about responsibility. كُلُّكُمْ رَاعٍ وَكُلُّكُمْ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ Each of you is responsible… and each of you will be questioned. And Allah didn’t say fix the world. He said protect your families. قُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ وَأَهْلِيكُمْ نَارًا This is where it begins. A child doesn’t break loudly. It happens quietly… in the way they start doubting themselves… in the way they stop feeling safe… in the way they look for love in the wrong places. So ask yourself… What is your home producing? Because one day… your child will become someone’s spouse… someone’s parent… someone who shapes the world. And whatever you planted… will not stay inside your home. Source...

Prophet Muhammed ﷺ – The Best Father Ever..

-  *Prophet Muhammed ﷺ – The Best Father Ever* Prophet Muhammed ﷺ was a perfect father and a unique grandfather. He was unique in every way. He treated his children and grandchildren with great compassion, and always directed them towards goodness and hereafter. He smiled at his children, loved them, but did not allow them to neglect matters related to the afterlife. In worldly matters he was extremely open, but when it came to maintaining their relationship with God, he was dignifiedly serious. He showed his children how to lead a humane life, and never allowed them to get spoiled.  It is narrated in Muslim by Hadrat Anas bin Malik (ra), who served Prophet Muhammed ﷺ for ten continuous years, as saying: “I have never seen a man who was more compassionate to his family members than Prophet Muhammed ﷺ.” All of Prophet Muhammed’s ﷺ sons passed away in infancy – so was Hazrat Ibraheem (ra), his son through Sayyida Maria (ra). When Hazrat Ibraheem passed away, the prophet took in ...

Its all about connection of heart:

There was a Sheikh who was teaching his students Aqeedah (Faith), He taught them 'La ilaha illa Allah' and explained it's meaning to them. The Sheikh loved keeping pets, so he was given a parrot by one of the students as a gift. And with days the Sheikh started to like the parrot. He used to take it to his lessons, until the parrot knew how to say "La ilaha illa Allah", and would  utter it day and night. One day the students found their Sheikh crying and sobbing. When they asked him the reason, he told them that a cat attacked the parrot and killed it. They said: "Is this the reason you are crying?"... If you wish we will bring you another parrot better than that one. The Sheikh said: I am not crying because of this... But it made me cry when the cat attacked the parrot. It was shouting and screaming until it died. He used to say la ilaha illa Allah a lot. However, when he was attacked by a cat he forgot to say it. He did nothing but scream...

The Doctor, Medicine and Muslims past 1000 years:

 - Muslim science  par excellence  was the study of medicine. Interest in medicine goes back to the very earliest times. The Prophet himself stated that there was a remedy for every illness, and was aware that some diseases were contagious. The great contribution of the Arabs was to put the study of medicine on a scientific footing and eliminate superstition and harmful folk-practices. Medicine was considered a highly technical calling, and one which required long study and training. Elaborate codes were formulated to regulate the professional conduct of doctors. It was not enough to have a mastery of one’s subject in order to practice medicine. Certain moral qualities were mandatory.  Ibn Hazm  said that a doctor should be kind, understanding, friendly, good, able to endure insults and adverse criticism; he must keep his hair short, and his fingernails as well; he must wear clean, white clothes and behave with dignity. Before doctors could practice, they had to...

15 Things About The Character of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Every Muslim Must Spread:

 🌸15 Things About The Character of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Every Muslim Must Spread: If there is any personality that has lived on the face of this earth who was complete in every regard and the life of whom can serve as a beacon of guidance for people of every walk of life, that personality would undeniably be the personality of Muhammad (PBUH). Muslims follow Him because of Him being the Prophet as their religion and those who do not follow Islam also hold Him at a higher pedestal when it comes to human character. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was born in Saudi Arabia in the city of Makkah about 1400 years ago. Since then the world has not seen the likes of Him in every regard and the study of human history shows that there have been none better than Him before Him as well. The key factor that brings reverence and respect to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in both the Islamic and the non-Islamic circles is His character. He was the best in character and He also said about in one of His hadith...
