This is Muhammad (Peace be upon him):

In the corner of the marketplace of Madinah, was a blind Jewish beggar, who would cry out daily to all those who came near him,
"O my brothers, don't go near Muhammad He's a lunatic, he's a liar, a sorcerer!
If you are to be close to him, you will be influenced by him!"

The news about the blind Jewish beggar's daily cursing and badmouthing came to the knowledge of Rasöölillah ﷺ (Peace be upon him). Even then, Rasöölillah ﷺ (Peace be upon him) didn’t get angry, he just carried on ignoring the blind Jewish beggar's insults against himself.
Rasöölillah ﷺ (Peace be upon him) started visiting the blind beggar and would feed him with his own hands; without saying a single word, every morning.

The blind beggar would chew the food being fed to him and eat contentedly. Once he was full, he'd express his gratitude without knowing that the one who had fed him was Rasöölillah ﷺ (Peace be upon him). Rasöölillah ﷺ (Peace be upon him) continued to feed the blind beggar without fail each day until the day He ﷺ, passed onto the next life. 
Throughout his service to the blind beggar, he never identified himself to the blind Jewish beggar. After Rasöölillah ﷺ (Peace be upon him) had passed away, no one brought food to the blind beggar anymore!

One day, the closest Companion of Rasöölillah ﷺ (Peace be upon him), Saiyidina Abu Bakar As Siddiq  رضي الله عنه‎‎ visited the home of his daughter, Sayidina Ayesha رضي الله عنه‎‎.
Abu Bakr  رضي الله عنه‎‎ asked Ayesha  رضي الله عنه‎‎ , "O my child, is there any habit of my beloved Rasöölillah ﷺ (Peace be upon him) that I have yet to carry on?"
Ayesha  رضي الله عنه‎‎ replied, "Dear Father, you are verily a follower of the Sunnah of Rasöölillah ﷺ (Peace be upon him) and there is none that you have yet to do except for one deed only!"
"What is that?" asked Abu Bakr  رضي الله عنه‎‎.
"Every morning, Rasöölillah ﷺ (Peace be upon him) would go to the end of the marketplace, bringing food to a blind old Jewish beggar who lives there and feed him by his hand," said Aishah  رضي الله عنه‎‎.

The next day, Abu Bakar As Siddiq  رضي الله عنه‎‎ went to the marketplace with food for the blind beggar. Abu Bakar As Siddiq  رضي الله عنه‎‎  approached the beggar and started to feed him.
At the first handfull of food being fed to him, the blind Jewish beggar became angry and shouted out, "Who are you?"
Abu Bakr  رضي الله عنه‎‎ answered "I am the one who usually feeds you every morning".
"No!... Don't you lie to me!" objected the blind beggar.
Abu Bakr  رضي الله عنه‎‎ was shocked, thus he asked "Why do you say so?"

The blind Jewish beggar answered, "Because when he comes to me, I always feel it’s easy to hold his hand and find it easy to chew the food he feeds me. The man who used to feed me, would make the food fine before feeding it to me!"

Abu Bakar As Siddiq  رضي الله عنه‎‎  could not hold back his tears anymore and burst out crying. He had to disclose who he actually was to the beggar. "Verily, I am not the one who used to come and feed you. I am one of his Companions for the noble one is alive no more! He was none other than Rasöölillah ﷺ (Peace be upon him).
"Muhammad?" asked the blind old Jewish beggar, totally shocked with what he had just heard. "You mean to tell me that the one who came each morning without fail and fed me by his hand was Muhammad?" asked the beggar.

"Yes! It was Muhammad ﷺ!" answered Abu Bakr  رضي الله عنه‎‎.
Immediately, the blind old Jewish beggar wailed out in despair and cried so pitifully coming to realise that it was none other than Rasöölillah ﷺ (Peace be upon him) who had been feeding him all the while.

"All this time!...all this time, I had been cursing him, I had been slandering him! Not once did he ever scold me! He kept coming every morning to feed me! He was so noble!.." cried the old blind Jewish beggar, wiping away his flowing tears.

The blind beggar reached out to Saiyidina Abu Bakar As Siddiq  رضي الله عنه‎‎ the first Caliph of the Muslims and testified before him the Kalimah Shahadah.
'Ash ha doo Allah ila ha ill lallLah! Wa ash ha doo anna Muhammad darrRasulullah!' declaring that There is No God but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

How does Allah Ta’ala increase when He accepts the sadaqah!:

- It is a story from 1282 Hijri, that is, 160 years ago. There was a noble and righteous woman named Munira in the city of Buraidah, Saudi Arabia. She intended to bequeath her jewellery to her brother before she died and instructed him to buy a shop from that money. Whatever income would come from this shop would be spent to fulfill the needs of masakeen.  After her death, her brother sold the jewellery and bought a shop in the name of his sister, which was worth twelve riyals according to the currency of the period. He rented the shop and the rent money was used to attend to the needs of masakeen. This continued for nearly 100 years. After 100 years, the monthly rent of the shop had reached 15,000 riyals and through this money more things were provided for the needy. Then came the day when the Saudi government decided to expand the Mosque of Buraidah and decided to acquire land and shops within the vicinity of the expansion site. The shop of the deceased woman was within the bound...

 - Quran Juz 15  – Sub’hanalladhiz Summary Join Us:  https://chat.whatsapp.com/EwGX2NFn95O2Bo92HkyyiI •        Surah Isra/Bani Israel: This chapter talks about the night journey of Prophet Muhammed ﷺ toward the Heavens (Isra & Meraj), an honor that no one else other than our beloved Prophet Muhammed ﷺ received. Isra was the beloved’s ﷺ journey from Makkah to Jerusalem, and Meraj was that from Jerusalem to the Heavens. •        This chapter also mentions in detail many incidents of Bani Israel. •        Allah’s wisdom behind taking Prophet Muhammed ﷺ to Jerusalem was to grant him and his followers the custodianship of Masjid al-Aqsa, just like that of Masjid al-Haraam in Makkah.  •        Though this chapter is themed at Tawheed, morals, affirmation of the Doomsday, but it also focuses on messengership, and particularly in that of Prophet Muhammed’s ﷺ. •        The ...

Being accessible, lenient, tender, and easy to get along with

 - Ibn Mas‘ūd (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Shall I not inform of whom Hellfire is forbidden for? Or he is forbidden for Hellfire? It is forbidden for someone who is accessible, lenient, tender, and easy to get along with."     [Authentic hadith] - [Narrated by At-Termedhy - Narrated by Ahmad] الشرح Shall I not inform you of whom Hellfire is forbidden to burn? It is forbidden for he who is accessible to people, who sits with them in the places of worship, and treat them kindly to the best of his ability; and he who is forbearing, lenient, and tolerant in dealing with them.

Slicing Through the Ego: The Internal Qurbani:

 - # Beyond the Sacrifice: What is Your "Ismail" This Eid ul Adha? 🌙 **Eid Mubarak!** 🌙 Every year, as the global Muslim community gathers to celebrate Eid ul Adha, our focus naturally turns to the tradition of *Qurbani* (sacrifice). We prepare the animals, distribute the meat, and share meals with family and neighbors. But if we pause and look past the physical rituals, a profound spiritual question emerges. **Eid ul Adha is not just about sacrificing an animal. It is about sacrificing whatever stands between you and Allah.** ## The True Essence of Qurbani: Trust Over Fear When Prophet Ibrahim (AS) left his wife, Hajara (AS), and their infant son in the barren desert of Makkah, he didn’t leave them in fear—he left them in absolute, unwavering trust of Allah. And years later, when he raised the knife above his beloved son, Ismail (AS), it wasn't an act of cruelty. It was the ultimate demonstration of submitting his will to the Divine. > **The realization:** The knife...

Allaah did not call him Khaleel after a single moment. The friendship ripened through repeated surrender, across fire and desert and stone:

 - Allaah did not call him Khaleel after a single moment. The friendship ripened through repeated surrender, across fire and desert and stone. - Taqwa, when it matures in the crucible of trial, is the precise and correct ordering of the loves within a heart. It is the absolute knowledge of which love sits upon the throne, and which loves, however deep, however true, however entirely lawful, must bow beneath it.  - Tawakkul is the heart’s genuine reliance upon Allaah as the sole ultimate cause of all things, combined with the employment of every legitimate means. Islam teaches freedom from servitude to causes without teaching contempt for them. It is the settled condition of a heart that has understood that creation possesses only delegated force. What burns burns because it is permitted to burn; what heals heals because it is permitted to heal. No thing in creation holds or withholds what belongs solely to the Creator. - Hasbunallaahu wa ni’mal Wakeel. Allaah is sufficient for...

Are You Easy to Socialize With?

The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “The most complete in faith are those best in their character, those who are easy to socialize with, and those who get along with others and others get along with them. There is no good in the one who cannot get along with others and others cannot get along with him.” [Tirmidhi]
