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.

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...
