PROPHET MOHAMMAD PERSONALITY

Muhammad (peace and blessing be upon him) was born in Makkah in the year 570, at a time when Christianity was not yet fully established in Europe. Since his father died before his birth, and his mother shortly afterwards, he was raised by his uncle from the respected tribe of Quraysh. As he grew up, he became known for his truthfulness, generosity and sincerity, so that he was sought after for his ability to arbitrate in disputes. The historians describe him as calm and meditative.

Muhammad was of a deeply religious nature, and it became his habit to meditate from time to time in the Cave of Hira near the summit of Jabal al-Nur, the 'Mountain of Light' near Makkah. At the age of 40, while engaged in a meditative retreat, Muhammad received his first revelation from God through the Angel Gabriel. This revelation, which continued for twenty-three years, is known as the Quran.

The Prophet Mohammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the one who will attain Al-Maqam Al-Mahmud (the Praised Position in the Hereafter) in Paradise, which will be given to one person only, and that person will be our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

He was not only prophet of God, but aside from that, he was one of the best leader in the “Top in List of 100 Most Noble and influential and successful person of history”. In recent times, a book has been published in America  titled "The 100," or the Top One hundred, or the Greatest Hundred in History.  A certain Michael H. Hart, described as a historian, mathematician and astronomer has written this novel book.  He has searched history, seeking for men who had the greatest influence on mankind.  In this book he gives us The hundred most influential men, including Ashoka, Aristotle, Buddha, Confucius, Hitler, Plato, and Zoroaster.  He does not give us a mere chart of the topmost "One Hundred" from the point of view of their influence on people, but he evaluates the degree of their influence and rates them in order of their excellence from No. 1, through to No. 100.  He gives us his reasons for the placing of his candidates.  We are not asked to agree with him, but we cannot help admire the man's research and honesty.

The most amazing thing about his selection is that he has put our  Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as No. 1, the first of his "100!" Thus confirming, unknowingly, God's Own testimony in His Final Revelation to the World:

Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) has been favoured by God to all mankind as a blessing from Him.

“Indeed, Allah conferred a great favour on the believers when He sent among them a Messenger (Muhammad) from among themselves”  (Aale ‘Imraan 3:164)

“That we have sent not thee (O Muhammad) but as a mercy to the whole of humankind, as a mercy to all the world”  (Al-Ambiya 21:107)  

“Say, (O Muhammad, to mankind): If ye love Allah, follow me; Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful” (Aale ‘Imraan 3:31)

“Say, "O mankind, I am the Messenger of God to you all .…" (Al-Araf 7:158)

Now it is binding on all humans to accept him as God’s messenger and obey him, as that will lead humans to HEAVEN.

“He who obeys the Messenger (Muhammad), obeys Allah: But if any turn away, We have not sent thee to watch over their (evil deeds)”  (An-Nisa 4:80)

“And We have not sent you (O Muhammad SAW) except as a giver of glad tidings and a warner to all mankind, but most of men know not”  (Saba 34:28)

The status of  Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is so unique in prophets that Allah Himself says about him as follows.

“Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet (Muhammad) O ye that believe! Send ye blessings on him, and salute him with all respect”  (Al-Ahzab 33:56)

“Those who annoy Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad) Allah has cursed them in this World and in the Hereafter, and has prepared for them a humiliating Punishment”  (Al-Ahzab 33:57)

However Christians and Jews at the time of his presence in this world did not accept him, instead they treat him as liar, and that is true even today, for them Allah says:

“A party of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) wish to lead you (O Muhammad) astray. But they shall not lead astray anyone except themselves, and they perceive not.“ (Aale ‘Imraan 3:69)

Before prophethood at the age of 40, he was the most noble character and trustworthy citizen of Makkah. Let us put some lights on Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) character before and after prophethood.

family tree of our beloved Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him.

Mercy for Children

 Allah’s Messenger sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) was particularly compassionate towards children. When he saw a child crying, he sat beside him or her and shared his or her feelings. He felt the pain of a mother for her child more than the mother herself. Once he said: “I stand in prayer and wish to prolong it. However, I hear the cry of a child and cut the prayer short for the anxiety which the mother is feeling.” [Al-Bukhaari]

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle kissed Al-Hasan bin Ali while Al-Aqra' bin Habis At-Tamim was sitting beside him. Al-Aqra said, "I have ten children and I have never kissed anyone of them," Allah's Apostle cast a look at him and said, "Whoever is not merciful to others will not be treated mercifully."

Bukhari. vol 3. no 955

SACRIFICE OF THE LAMB

Just as the Prophet (S.A.W.), and his companions landed from their rides, and laid the loads down, it was decided that they would sacrifice a lamb for dinner.

One of the companions volunteered: "I will sacrifice the lamb."

Another: "I will skin it."

Third: "I will cook it."

Fourth: " I will...."

The Prophet (S.A.W.): "I will gather the wood from the desert."

The group: "O Messenger of Allah, it is not becoming of you to discomfort yourself as such. You rest. We will be honored to do all this on our own."

The Prophet (S.A.W.): "I know that you are eager to do it all, but Allah isn't pleased with the slave who distinguishes between himself and his companions, and considers himself better than others."

Then he went to the desert, and gathered some wood, and brought it to the group.

According to the Romance

According to the Romance Writers of America, "Two basic elements comprise every romance novel: a central love story and an emotionally-satisfying and optimistic ending." Both the conflict and the climax of the novel should be directly related to that core theme of developing a romantic relationship, although the novel can also contain subplots that do not specifically relate to the main characters' romantic love. Other definitions of a romance novel may be broader, including other plots and endings or more than two people, or narrower, restricting the types of romances or conflicts.

The best thing for being said

“ Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn..The best thing for being sad,"  beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails.
 You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love,
 you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn.
 Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting.
 Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.”
