*❖ 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.

Its Hajj time: Remembering the meaning of sacrifice and sincerity:

*Peace be upon Prophet Ibraheem* Allah ordered him to take his family to a barren desert which had no inhabitants, no food, no water, and no means of provision. He didn't doubt or ponder. He obeyed. Allah ordered him to leave his wife and baby child in the blazing heat. He didn't think or doubt. He obeyed. Later on, Allāh instructed to sacrificed his child. He obeyed. You know the only thing Prophet Ibrahim's wife asked, "Was it Allah who ordered you to do this?" - That's it, she did not look at the pleasure of the world. She looked at the pleasure of Allah. She clutched onto her newborn whilst staring at an empty desert and it only increased her in conviction. You know how beloved her action was to Allah? thousands of years later, people give up everything to go to Makkah in order to imitate her and to quench their thirsts with Zam Zam - and they will be doing this until the last day. You know how accepted Sayyiduna Ibrahim's act of sincerity was? Peopl...

Allah will test us to show the true among us and what we are made of:

 - STORY 22 - Uncle Mohammad    Uncle Mohammad was a taxi driver in Makkah; he lived in an area called al-Jomoom about 20 miles outside the city limits. He was a hard-working man with a big family to support. He had always dreamt of being rich, not only so he could take better care of his family, but as he often expressed, to fulfil his desire to donate large sums for the sake of Allah.   One day, he said to his friend, “ You know what? I need to stop waiting to be rich to give more for Allah. I am starting this week.” The friend asked, "What will you do?"   Uncle Mohammad already had a plan, and his plan was simple. He decided to assign one day a month for the sake of Allah. He would not charge passengers any money that day. All rides would be free for the sake of Allah.  The taxi driver was struggling with all the expenses related to his taxi license, taxes, home expenses, etc. The taxi business was already suffering. It was not like it used to be in Makk...
