Prophet Muhammad
The Great Word of God, the Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and his family
Introduction
The Prophet (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) was the wisest of people, the most forgiving, the bravest, the most just, the most compassionate, and the most generous. He did not have a dinar or a dirham with him. He did not take from what God had given him except for the sustenance of his year. Only he could take what little dates and barley he could find and put the rest of that away for the sake of Allah. God then returns to the sustenance of his year and increases it until he may need it before the end of the year if nothing comes to him, and he would sit on the ground and sleep on it, mend his sandals, patch up the dress, open the door, milk the sheep, hound the camel, grind with the servant if he was tired, and put on his ritual ablution. At night with his hand, and he does not sit reclining, he serves in his family’s work, he cuts meat, and he never burps, and he accepts a gift even if it is a dose of milk, and eats it, and he does not eat charity, and he does not fix his gaze on the face of anyone who gets angry with his Lord, and he does not get angry with himself, and he used to tie a stone over his head.
His stomach is hungry. He eats what he has and does not return what he finds. He does not wear two garments. He wears a Yemeni cloak, a shawl, and a woolen cloak. The thickest garment is cotton and linen. Most of his clothes are white. He wears a shirt facing his right side. He has a garment for Friday prayers especially, and if he wears it, it is new. He gave his creation to a poor person who wears a silver ring on his right little finger, hates bad winds, uses himself when performing ablution, rides behind him his slave or someone else, and rides whatever horse, mule, or donkey he can, and rides the donkey without a saddle, and wears an excuse, and walks on foot, and attends funerals and returns. He sits with the sick in the furthest part of the city with the poor, eats with the poor, takes them with his hand, honors the people of virtue in their morals, and treats the evil people by being kind to them.
He reaches out to those of his kinship without giving them preference over others except by what God has commanded. He is not cruel to anyone. He accepts the apology of the one to whom he apologizes, and he was the majority of people. He smiled as long as the Qur’an was not revealed to him or a sermon was given to him, and perhaps he laughed without giggling. He did not criticize his male and female slaves in food or clothing. He did not curse anyone with an insult, nor cursed a woman or a servant with a curse, nor did they blame anyone except that he said, “Leave him, and no free person will come to him.” Or male or female slave, except that he stands with him in his need and does not repay evil for evil, but rather forgives and forgives.
He begins with greetings from whomever he meets, and when he meets a Muslim, he begins with him by shaking hands, and he does not stand or sit except in remembrance of God, and no one sits next to him while he is praying except He shortened his prayer and went to him and said, “Do you have a need?” He used to sit where the meeting ended and he would order that. He would often sit facing the Qiblah, and he would honor anyone who entered upon him, to the point that he might even spread out his garment for him and the person entering would prefer the pillow under him. He was both content and angry. He used to eat cucumbers with dates and salt, and his favorite fresh fruits were watermelon and grapes, and most of his food was water and dates, and he mixed milk with dates and called them the best, and his favorite food was meat, and he ate porridge with meat, and he loved squash and he used to eat He used game meat and did not hunt it. He ate bread and ghee. He loved the arm and shoulder of the sheep, vinegar, ajwa dates, and dandelion legumes. He used to joke and only say the truth.
Among what was mentioned in his description, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, was that he used to ask about his companions, and if one of them was absent, he would pray for him, and if he was a witness, he would visit him, and if he was sick, he would visit him, and if a man met him and shook his hand, he would not remove his hand from his until the man was the one who removed it and did not turn his face away. away from his face until the man is the one to turn him away, and if someone meets him and someone stands with him or is sitting with him, he will not turn away until the man is the one to turn away from him, and no one puts his mouth to his ear but continues listening until he finishes speaking and goes away.
He who was very young was the most fearful of people and feared God, and he never struck a woman or a servant. His dream preceded his anger, and the severity of his ignorance did not increase it except in a dream. People have the best character, are most forgiving, and have the greatest pardon, are more generous with goodness than the blowing wind, are the bravest of people in heart, and most valiant. The most shy of them is more shy than a virgin in her anus, and when a sneeze takes him and puts his hand or his garment on his mouth, he loves a good omen and changes an ugly name with a good one. He consults his companions about the matter. He is the one who most turns a blind eye to shameful things. If he dislikes something, it is recognized on his face, and no one sees anything bad about him until it reaches him. On the authority of someone he hates, he does not say, “What is the matter with so-and-so who says or does such-and-such?” Rather, “What is the matter with a group of broad-minded people?” None of his companions or members of his household invited him except that he said, “Here you are.” He mixes with his companions, talks to them, caresses their children, and sits them in his lap. He responds to the invitations of the free man, the slave, and the female slave.
The poor man, and none of the people called him red or black except that he responded to him. He was never seen extending his legs among his companions, nor ever proposing his knees in front of someone who sat with him. (And Anas said: I served the Messenger of God (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) for ten years, and I never saw him lower than his knees. His babysitter's knee (until he said) And he did not say to something I did, why did I do such-and-such, and I smelled perfume, and I have never smelled the scent of anything better than that of the Messenger of God (may God bless him and his family). He called his companions by his favorite names and nicknames, and if he heard a child crying while he was praying, he shortened his prayer. The people who are most compassionate towards God’s creation, the most compassionate towards them, the most merciful to them, the most close to people’s ties of kinship, the most faithful to them, and the kindest person in covenant, eats on the ground, and he said, “I eat as a slave eats, and I sit as a slave sits, for I am only a slave who wears thick clothes and loves to be intimate with all of his affairs in his purity.” On his feet and shoes, he visits the poor among his companions, feeds his watering can, maintains the house, sits and eats with the servant, and carries his goods from the market, not combining two foods in his stomach. He is the most intelligent of people and the best in his opinion.
He was never asked anything, so he said no. If he wanted to do it, he said yes, and if he did not want to do it, he remained silent. When the month of Ramadan came, he released every prisoner and gave every beggar. He was the most patient of people when he faced people’s burdens, and when he walked, he was quicker. He was neither incapable nor lazy, etc. He was never seen eating while reclining.
He often prays in his shoes and wears low caps, and he wears a cap under the turban and without a turban, and he wears a turban without a cap, and he had a black turban. He entered on the day of the conquest of Mecca while wearing it, and he used to wear it on the two Eids and let it hang behind him, and it was narrated that it was nine cubs, and he said. Some of them seem to have been about ten cubits (with the cubit of a hand), and he had a cloak in which he would deliver the sermon, which was passed down to the caliphs, and they claimed that it was his cloak (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family).
Among what was mentioned in his description (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) was that he listened well to his interlocutor, never turning away from anyone, and not only listening to whoever was speaking to him, but rather turning to him with all his body. He spoke little, was very attentive, inclined to be serious when he said it, and sometimes laughed until his molars showed. When he gets angry, no trace of his anger is visible except a bead of sweat between his eyebrows.
Role Model
The greatness of the Messenger and his eternal message. God has honored all of humanity with the final message with which God sent His Messenger (may God bless him and his family) as a bringer of good tidings and a warner. The Almighty said: {And We have not sent you except as a bringer of good tidings and a warner to mankind} [Saba: 28]; To bring them out of the darkness into the light, from the worship of the people to the worship of the Lord of the people, from the injustice of religions to the justice of Islam, and from the narrowness of the world to its vastness, so he truly deserved to be the Messenger of God (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) as a savior for humanity, and an example for the worlds. The Messenger of God Muhammad (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) came with a comprehensive and complete approach to life that makes those who live in its shadow happy and enjoy comfort and security. Because it is a divine approach that addresses common sense, and balances its spiritual and physical requirements.
The Messenger of God (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) dealt with all the matters that confronted him in an exceptional way, and with a purified Sunnah that brought forth for us enormous treasures of the arts of dealing and the etiquette of relationships. In fact, no word or action of the Messenger of God (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) was devoid of noble character and high etiquette, in which he reached the pinnacle, and reached - without exaggeration - the pinnacle of human perfection, even in situations in which it is difficult to imagine morality as an influential factor. This is such as matters of war and politics, and dealing with the oppressors, the immoral, and those who fight against Muslims and those lurking against them, as well as in his humility, leadership, giving rights to their owners, and in his solution to problems, just as he was also a gracious father, husband, and friend... the matter from which we can understand his saying (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) “I was sent to perfect good morals.”
The greatness in the biography of the Messenger of God, Muhammad (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family), has no limits. The Messenger of God (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) has proven that the ideal, refined rules that came in the Book of God are nothing but practical, applicable rules, and that they are valid for organizing the lives of all human beings. And it is the clear evidence for those who sincerely seek guidance, just as the life of the Messenger of God was a true translation of every divine command! He was the best role model and the best example for his companions. Therefore, his love deepened in their hearts; Until one of them wished that he would ransom the Messenger of God (may God bless him and his family) with his soul and that he (may God bless him and his family) not be struck by a thorn that would harm him. This is how Muhammad the Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) lived in their hearts and consciences, and the love of his companions for him was a sure proof of his sincerity.
Love of the Messenger of God. We are now in need of returning the love of the Messenger of God, Muhammad (PBUH), to our hearts. There is no doubt that loving the Messenger is obligatory and no one disputes that. However, for emotion to be the only manifestation of this love and loyalty, this is what requires us to pause. Because it is a love that suffers from imperfection, and how easily it collapses in the face of the first flood that meets it! True love for the Prophet (PBUH) begins with our knowledge of the biography of the Messenger of God (PBUH) and his guidance in all the affairs of his life. He is a role model and a role model. He said in his praise (may God bless him and grant him peace): “Indeed there has been for you in the Messenger of God a good example for whoever hopes in God and the Last Day and remembers God often” [Al-Ahzab: 21].
Then comes the second step, which is to fully apply what we know of his Sunnah and his approach to our lives, and to follow his guidance in every big and small thing, and by that we do not mean only performing voluntary acts of worship or some acts of worship, but the complete application of all his approaches in worship, politics, economics, transactions, judiciary, and even in entertainment and rest. Finally comes the third important step that indicates the depth of our love for Him, which is our departure to the worlds to introduce Him and His Sunnah in a living, moving image. In compliance with the saying of the Messenger of God (PBUH): “Convey even a verse on my behalf.”
How beautiful it is for a Muslim to be a role model in the world through his behavior and actions! Then all tongues that mention the Prophet (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) with something that offends him will stop; Because they will know the truth of His call through our behavior and actions. In ancient times they said: “The action of one man against a thousand men is more eloquent than the words of a thousand men about one man.” The indisputable truth is that we are negligent towards the Messenger of God (PBUH); Most of the world does not know anything about the morals, humanity, and dealings of the Messenger of God, Muhammad (PBUH). Therefore, from time to time, a violent intellectual and media attack on his person appears. Muslims view this attack in different ways. Some of them say: Attacks on Islam or its Noble Messenger are nothing but individual cases of those who seek fame. While others believe that behind it are those who hold grudges against Islam, and some of them place all the blame on Muslims and their failure to defend the Prophet (PBUH) and to introduce him to the East and West.
But as we set out to present the Messenger of God (PBUH) to the worlds, we must keep in mind all of these matters and their striking intersection. In order for us to reach the Western mentality, which requires us to make a great effort to remove the values and principles that have been entrenched in it, which are far removed from the truth of Islam and the greatness of the Messenger of God (may God bless him and grant him peace), we must also keep in our minds that Western society is not equal in its dealings with Islam and the Messenger of God. (s) ; There are the wise and just, and there are the unseen who do not realize the truth of things... and others, and we must not forget that our call to them must start from the words of our Lord: {Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best} [An-Nahl: 125]. So let us introduce ourselves to the Messenger (PBUH) East and West, with conscious thought and innovative means, with deep love and a firm desire to guide all of humanity.
Characteristics of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
God Almighty said in His decisive, Mighty Book: {And indeed, indeed, you are of great creation} (4) Surat Al-Qalam, a testimony from God to him - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family - that he has the most perfect, perfect, highest, and best morals, such that he cannot be compared in them under any circumstances. His attributes, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, also came from the books of previous religions. Just as the imams of Ahl al-Bayt, peace be upon them, took it upon themselves to explain the attributes of the Prophet of Mercy (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family), so we mention a number of his attributes (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) that were mentioned.
1- The Sheikh in “Amaliyah” said: Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Al-Salt informed us, he said: Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Saeed bin Uqdah informed us, he said: Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Abdul Rahman bin Fatni told us a reading, he said: Muhammad bin Issa Al-Ubaidi told us, he said: The servant of Ali bin Musa told us on the authority of his grandfather, on the authority of Ali that they said: O Ali, describe for us our Prophet (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) as if we were seeing him, for we long for him. ((He said: The Prophet of God (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) was white in color, had a reddish complexion, pleasing to the eye, had long hair, a thick beard, an abundance of flour, as if his neck was a silver jug, with gold flowing through his throats, and he had hair from his core to his navel. Like a rod threaded to the navel, and there is no hair on his stomach or chest other than it. He has the shape of his palms and feet, and the shape of his ankles. When he walks, it is as if he is taking off from a rock. When he approaches, it is as if he is descending from a precipice. When he turns, he turns with his entire body. He is not short and hesitant, nor is he long and covered. There is a roundness in the face, if there is a roundness in the people, as if his sweat is on his face of pearls, his sweat is sweeter than the scent of musk, he is neither incapable nor mean. He is the most honorable of ten people, the softest of people, and the best of hands. Whoever interacts with him with acquaintance loves him, whoever sees him is intuitive and in awe of him, his dignity is before his eyes. He suddenly said: I have never seen anyone like him before or after him, may God bless him and his family.)
- 2 Muhammad bin Yaqoub, on the authority of several of our companions, on the authority of Ahmad bin Muhammad, on the authority of Ali bin Saif, on the authority of Amr bin Shimr, on the authority of Jabir, who said: I said to Abu Jaafar: Describe for me the Prophet of God (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family). He said: It was as if the Prophet of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, He and his family are white with a reddish hue, with dark eyes, eyebrows drawn together, and limbs as if gold had been emptied on his claws. He has great shoulder pads, and when he turns around, they all turn around due to the intensity of his aversion. It seeps out, flowing from his core to his navel as if it were the middle of refined silver, and as if his neck to his shoulders were a silver jug. When he drinks, his nose almost rejects the water, and when he walks, he bends over as if he is descending into a pouring water. He has never seen anything like the Prophet of God before him or after him (may God bless him and his family).
The birth of the Prince peace be upon him in the Kaaba
The prophets, peace be upon them, in the religions that preceded Islam had signs, indications, and indications before assuming the position of prophethood, and among these signs is that the religion that preceded its religion was informed of it, as mentioned in the Holy Qur’an about Jesus (peace be upon him) giving good tidings to the Messenger of God (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) and uttering his name. God Almighty said. : {And when Jesus, son of Mary, said, O Children of Israel, I am the Messenger of God to you, confirming what was before me of the Torah and bringing good tidings of a Messenger whose name will come after me This is Ahmad. So when he came to them with clear proofs, they said, “This is clear magic.”
As mentioned, I mentioned his (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) good manners, with which he dazzled all creatures. God Almighty said: {And indeed, indeed, you are of great creation}.
As for mentioning him (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) in the Torah and the Gospel, his qualities, morals, and signs about him were mentioned as in the Torah (on the authority of Ali bin Abi Talib (peace be upon him) that he said: He had a Jew who owed the Messenger of God (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) dinars, so he paid him dinars. There, he said to the Messenger (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family): I will not separate from you until you judge me. So the Messenger of God (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) sat with him until he prayed - in that place - the noon, afternoon, sunset, evening and morning prayers, and he (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) said: My Lord has not sent me to be unjust to a covenanter. Nor did he grow up. When daylight came, the Jew converted to Islam and said: This is half of my money for the sake of God. I only did that to look at your description in the Torah, for I read your description in the Torah: Muhammad bin Abdullah, born in Mecca, and emigrated in Taybah, and he is not rude, harsh, or harsh. Silly talk, no resonance with obscenity, and no deceitful speech.)
Likewise, his descriptions of him (may God bless him and grant him peace) were mentioned with the utmost precision in the Gospel: (O Jesus! Be serious in your affairs and do not be joking. O son of the pure, virgin! You are without a stallion. I created you as a sign to the worlds, so worship Me, and trust in Me, and take the Book with strength. Explain to the people of Syriac Syria the amount of In your hands, I am the eternal God who does not fade away. Believe in the unlettered Prophet, the owner of the camel, the armor, the crown - which is the turban - and the sandals and the club, which is the penis. The ankles, the eyes, the solid forehead, the clear cheeks, the hollowed cheeks, the nose, the folds flat, as if his neck was a silver jug, as if gold was running through his collarbones. He has hairs on his chest to his navel, but not on. His chest and no hair on his stomach, brown in color, finely impregnated with two palms and feet. When he turns, they both turn around. And when he walks, he is like an anime rising from the rock and descending from a stream. And when he comes with the people with a male, his sweat from his face is like pearls, and the scent of musk emanates from him. The like of it has never been seen before him. Not after him. He has a pleasant marriage with women (with) few offspring. His offspring are only from a blessed woman who has a house in Paradise in which there is no noise or hardship. He will guarantee her at the end of time, just as Zechariah guaranteed your mother. She will have two descendants, citing his words, the Qur’an, and his religion is Islam, and I am Islam. Blessed is he who realizes his time and bears witness. His days and his words were heard.
Jesus (peace be upon him) said: O Lord! Why are you blessed? He said: A tree in Paradise that I planted will remain Paradise. Its origin is from Ridwan. Its water is from Tasneem. Its coolness is the coolness of camphor and its taste is the taste of ginger. Whoever drinks from that spring will never feel thirsty again. Jesus (peace be upon him) said: Oh God, give me a drink from it! He said:
It is forbidden, O Jesus, for humans to drink from it until that Prophet drinks, and it is forbidden for nations to drink from it until the nation of that Prophet drinks. I will raise you up to Me and then bring you down at the end of time so that you may see miracles from the nation of that Prophet and help them kill the cursed Antichrist. I will bring you down at the time of prayer so that you can pray with them. They are a late nation.
Among the things that Imam al-Rida (peace be upon him) used as evidence against the head of the Jalotta was that he said: (O Jew! Come to me and ask you regarding the ten verses that were revealed to Musa bin Imran. Do you find written in the Torah the news of Muhammad and his nation: If the last nation, the followers of the rider of the camel, comes, praising the Lord exceedingly, a new praise in the new churches, then let the children of Israel fear them and their king, so that their hearts may be at peace, for they have swords in their hands with which they will take revenge on the infidel nations, in the ends of the earth.
Is it written in the Torah? Goliath's head said yes! We will find it so. However, the Messenger of God (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) did not mention any prophet or Sharia law after him, but rather denied it. In the noble hadith: The Messenger of God (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) said to Ali bin Abi Talib (peace be upon him) (You are to me what Aaron was to Moses, except that... There is no prophet after me.
His description (may God bless him and his family) in the Bible:
Ibn Babawayh in “Amalia”: Muhammad bin Ibrahim bin Ishaq, may God have mercy on him, told us: Abdul Aziz bin Yahya al-Jaloudi told us: Hisham bin Jaafar told us, on the authority of Hammad, on the authority of Abdullah bin Suleiman, and he was a reader of books, he said: I read in the Bible: O Jesus, establish my command, and do not mock, and listen and obey, O son of the pure, pure and virgin, you are without a stallion. I created you as a mercy to the worlds, so worship Me, and trust in Me. Take the letter firmly, explain it to the people of Syria in Syriac, and convey from your hands that I am the eternal God. The one who will never go away, believe the illiterate Prophet, the owner of the camel, the armor, the crown, which is the turban, the sandals, and the club, which is the penis.
He has elongated eyes, a solid forehead, clear cheeks, a high-pitched nose, flat folds, his neck is as if a silver jug, as if gold were running through his throats, he has hairs from his chest to his navel, and there is no hair on his stomach or chest.
He was brown in color, finely smeared, with two palms and feet. When he turned, he turned together, and when he walked, it was as if he was taking off from a rock and descending from a cliff. And when he came with the people with a sheep, his veins on his face were like pearls, and the scent of musk wafted from him. The like of him had never been seen before him or after him. He has a good scent, is married to women, and has few offspring. His descendants are from a blessed woman who has a house in Paradise in which there is no noise or hardship. He will guarantee her at the end of time, just as Zechariah guaranteed your mother. It has two branches of martyrs, whose speech is the Qur’an, and whose religion is Islam (and I am peace). Blessed is he who realizes his time, (witnesses his days), and hears his words. Jesus said: O Lord, and what is blessed? He said: A tree in Paradise. I planted it. It remains the paradise. Its origin is from Ridwan, and its water is from Tasnim.
Its cold is the cold of camphor, and its taste is the taste of ginger. Whoever drinks from that spring will never be thirsty again. Jesus said: “Oh God, give me a drink of it.” He said: It is forbidden, O Jesus, for humans to drink from it until that prophet drinks, and it is forbidden for nations to drink from it until the nation of that prophet drinks. I will raise you up to me and then I will bring you down at the end of time so that you may see miracles from the nation of that prophet, and help them. Against the accursed antichrist, I send you down at the time of prayer so that you can pray with them, for they are a compassionate nation
The word of God
The word “the word” is mentioned in the Holy Qur’an in several places, including the Almighty’s saying, “When the angels said, ‘O Mary, indeed God gives you good news of a word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, distinguished in this world Hereafter and from those who are brought near)) (Al Imran - 45) and in another place, “And the word of your Lord has been completed in truth and justice. There is no altering His words. And He is the Hearing, the Knowing” (Al-An’am 115) and God Almighty says: ((Then God sent down His tranquility upon him and supported him with armies that you did not see, and He made the word of those who disbelieved the lowest, and the word of God the highest)) (Al-Tawbah - 40) and many other verses.
What is the meaning of (the word) that was mentioned several times in the Holy Quran?
In order to understand what is meant by this word, we must know the linguistic meaning. The linguist and grammarian, the language scholar (Abdullah bin Abdul Rahman), known as (Ibn Aqeel), whose lineage ends with Aqeel bin Abi Talib, said in his explanation of Alfiyyah Ibn Malik: “The word is used in the language and is meant It contains the useful sentence, such as the Almighty’s saying: ((No, it is a word that was spoken by Him)) referring to His Almighty’s saying: ((He said, “My Lord, return me, perhaps I may work righteousness in what I have left behind.”) I say, so God Almighty described the words of the one who is excessive and one who regrets his action, and it is a complete sentence word) and that In the Almighty’s saying: ((No, it is a word. It is He who said it.)) The word indicates the meaning assigned to it. It is a tool for indicating the meaning. Instead of bringing external objects and objects to convey the meaning in the mind of the addressee, words take the place of those external objects and objects to convey the meaning to the mind.
Therefore, the function of the word is to convey the meaning to the mind, so images of external objects and objects are revealed in the mind by means of the meaning that indicates them. The word of God Almighty has a similarity to the function of linguistic words. The function of the linguistic word is to reveal the meaning, and the theological word has the function of revealing the arguments of God Almighty, because they are the most complete and most evident evidence of His greatness. God Almighty, and what supports this meaning is what God Almighty said to Maryam bint Imran (peace be upon her): ((And she believed in the words of her Lord and His books, and she was of the obedient ones)). Do the words here mean the physical sounds that reach the ears through the air?
of course not !
Rather, what is meant by words are the universal verses that speak of proofs, such as prophets and guardians, and the greatest words and signs of God Almighty of all are the greatest Prophet Muhammad (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family). Just as he is the seal of the messengers, he is the one who completes the words of God Almighty, and through him (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) the law is completed. Moses and Jesus, peace be upon them, and their message, and this is a reference to the Almighty’s saying: (And the word of your Lord has been completed in truth and justice. There is no altering His words. And He is the Hearer, the Knower.) And the completion of the law of the Master of Messengers is the mandate of the Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him) - as God Almighty said verbally His Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace). And his family): “Today I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have chosen for you Islam as your religion” (Al-Ma’idah - 4) - And the imams after him are the final proof of God, the Awaited Imam Mahdi (may God Almighty hasten his honorable appearance). The word of God contains the book and the family, and that is the saying of the Holy Prophet (May God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family): ((I leave among you the two weighty things, the Book of God and my family, my family. If you hold fast to them, you will never go astray after me)).
The word must be associated with the action with its content, otherwise it has no significance other than merely conveying the meaning to the mind. This is what the scholars of jurisprudence express with conceptual meaning, and the soul does not reach the stage of certainty, belief, and submission, as God Almighty said to the one who regrets his action in this world: ((No, it is a word that he said)) meaning that this word has no importance; That is, it is not followed by the work that saves him from torment, and the work that must be followed is the Qur’an and the family, one of which is inseparable from the other.
His death pbuh
the events of the death of the Prophet Muhammad, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, and the location of his burial. The center confirmed, “The evidence indicates that he (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) was buried in the house of his daughter Fatima Al-Zahra (peace be upon her).” He added, as for how he died, the center indicated that it was narrated on the authority of “Abu Atfan said, I asked Ibn Abbas, did you see that the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, died with his head in Uhud’s lap... until he said, “By God, the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, died and that he was a reliable person.” To Ali’s chest, and he is the one who washed him.” as it was reported on the authority of Umm Salamah, that she said, “By the one by which I swear, Ali is the closest person in covenant with the Messenger of God, may God bless him and his family... until she said, ‘I was one of the ones closest to the door, so the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace,’ fell on him.” And he made his left hand and spoke to him (that is, to Ali). Then he died, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family from that day, and he was the closest person to him. He continued, “And on the authority of Ali (peace be upon him) that he said: (And your soul poured between my throat and my chest).
Muhammad (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family)... greatness and mercy
Muhammad (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family)...the perfect human being
Racism and classism prevailed in human societies of various types and methods before Islam, and peoples suffered from it for long periods, especially the toiling segments of the black race. Man’s dignity was violated, his will was robbed, and his freedom was suppressed. The peak of arrogance, classism, and the persecution of the weak man was reached in the era of pre-Islamic times, so man was classified into categories and names, including the honorable and the lowly. The master and the slave, the rich and the poor.
The Prophet (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) was waging a violent struggle with Meccan society to remove injustice from the oppressed, which was evident in many of his humanitarian stances even before he was sent as a prophet. In that authoritarian and arrogant society that was known for its oppression of women, he (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) was a symbol of humility and great morals. He would mend his shoes, sew his clothes, milk his sheep, and help his family at home with food and drink.
This was his treatment even with servants. Anas bin Malik, who served the Prophet for nine years, says: (I served the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, for nine years. I do not know that he ever said to me: Why did you do such-and-such? And he never blamed me at all) as he said about his servant, Umm. Ayman Al-Habashiya: (She is my mother after the mother who gave birth to me).
Humanity was manifested in its most wonderful form in all of his attitudes and behaviour. He hated for man to be arrogant over man, so he used to say: (Five things I will not give up until death: eating on the pit with the slaves, riding a donkey while tied, milking a goat with my hand, wearing wool, and greeting boys, so that it will be a Sunnah.) After me). He says: (I eat as a slave eats, and I sit as a slave sits, for I am only a slave).
A man enters and is frightened and trembles. He says to him: “Take it easy, for I am not a king. I am the son of a woman from Quraish who used to eat porridge.” This was his morals even with those who disbelieved in his message, and he was pained by their disbelief and denial of the verses of God, so he used to repeat: (O God, forgive my people, for they do not know). The Noble Qur’an clearly expresses its pain for them and the torment that their fate will lead to, so God Almighty said: (Perhaps you will bury your soul in their tracks if they do not believe. With this hadith, unfortunately). That is: (It is as if you had not realized that their preoccupation with the world and their lack of belief in this hadith is due to their attachment to the adornments of the earth, and for that reason you became sad and almost killed yourself out of regret.).
Mercy was evident in all his movements, postures, words, and actions (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family), until God Almighty praised him in many noble verses, including:
(And indeed, you are of great creation) (And We have not sent you except as a mercy to the worlds) (Indeed there has come to you a messenger from among yourselves, dear to him is what you have suffered from. He is anxious for you towards the believers, Compassionate and Merciful.) (It is because of God’s mercy that you have been kind to them. And if you had been harsh and hard-hearted, they would have dispersed from around you. So pardon them and ask forgiveness for them and consult them about the matter) at the core of his call (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) was to liberate man, spread justice and equality among human beings, and eradicate this abhorrent disease that has afflicted humanity throughout its long history, which is racial discrimination. So the divine voice sounded in that tyrannical society to eliminate class differences and remove racism among members of the same race: (O people! Indeed, We created you from a male and a female and made you into peoples and tribes that you may know each other. Indeed, the most honorable of you in the sight of God is the most pious of you.)
(O people, fear your Lord, who created you from a single soul, and created from it its mate, and dispersed from them many men and women, and fear Allah who asks And through him and the relatives. Indeed, God has been a watcher over you.) (O you who have believed, let no people mock a people, perhaps they will be better than them, nor let women mock others, perhaps they will be better than them. And do not insinuate... Yourselves and do not call one another by nicknames. What an evil name is immorality after faith, and whoever does not repent - those are the wrongdoers.)
The nations that suffered for a long time from this hateful racism, and in which the forms of man’s enslavement of his fellow man and the deprivation of his rights varied, to the point that in some stages of history it came to treating the slave like an animal, and even believing that he was not of the human race, brought woes upon them, and those stages remained a stain in their history, and some nations remained Until very recent times, it separated the other race from society, robbed it of its rights, and violated its dignity. Indeed, to this day, there are still those who carry this aggressive idea and bloody tendency toward the other in civilized societies that were able to build cities and achieve technological and urban progress, but they were unable to build man and direct him to love his fellow human beings. As God intended - and devoid of sectarianism and racism that are still implanted in the souls of many of them.
Islam has made clear its position on racial discrimination and class by stating that racial difference is one of God’s laws in His creation, in the Almighty’s saying: (And among His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the differences of your tongues and colours. Indeed, in that are signs for the worlds.) The Prophet of Islam (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) declared the elimination of all racial differences and the absence of differentiation between people except through piety, saying: (There is no superiority for an Arab over a non-Arab, nor for a white over a black, except through piety.)
The great scholars of the West stood with reverence as they read this bright history of the master of all mankind. Will Durant says: (If we judged the greats by the influence the great had on people, we would say that Muhammad was the greatest of the greats).
Bernard Shaw says: (If a man like Muhammad had assumed absolute rule today in the entire world, he would have succeeded in his rule, led it to goodness, and solved its problems in a way that would bring the world peace and the desired happiness).
The Noble Prophet Muhammad (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) and his image and attributes in the Holy Qur’an are a model.
The wisdom of the Prophet (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) was evident in all the positions and decisions he took during the stages of the noble call, and divine support for him was also evident in spreading reformist goals and lofty approaches that draw for man the path of goodness and righteousness in accordance with the principle of justice and equality and liberating man from the bond of humiliation and slavery, which is the approach. With whom, Glory be to Him, the Most High, He sent His Noble Prophet to mark it on the earth, and He, Glory be to Him, the Most High, said: (Allah has indeed favored the believers when He sent among them a messenger from among themselves, reciting to them His verses, purifying them, and teaching them the Book and the wisdom, if it were And before that, they were in clear error.)
One of the most important stages of the honorable call is the stage of migration to Abyssinia, where (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) advised his companions to migrate there after the Quraysh’s harm to the believers increased and they abused and tortured them. Biographies and histories have mentioned that his choice (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) for this land stems from his saying: (If you go to the land of Abyssinia, there is a king who does not oppress anyone.) And (He improves neighborliness). (And Abyssinia is a land of truth.) They also mentioned among the reasons that it was a safe country and not subject to the state of the Romans and Persians, nor was it under the control of the Quraish. It was said that the knowledge of the Prophet about the news of Abyssinia was through his caregiver, Umm Ayman the Abyssinian.
These reasons were relied upon by historians when they mentioned the migration, and it is clear that the Prophet was aware of the news of countries and countries, but the long distance between Mecca and Abyssinia (Ethiopia) gives a global dimension to the mission and that the message of Islam came for the sake of mankind in every time and place and to eliminate class differences between people.
The Prophet’s advice to his companions to emigrate to the country of black skin did not come by chance or arbitrarily. He (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) would not have advised them to do so if his message had not been universal in all standards and dimensions. In that period there were two powers ruling the world, namely the Roman Empire and the Khosravian Empire, and both of them were despised. The color is black and you look at it with contempt and do not differentiate between it and an animal prepared for service and work.
The policy of these two countries is completely inconsistent with the goals and principles of Islam, which called for the elimination of class and racial distinction, and they will not abandon their policy of humiliating and enslaving the oppressed. Therefore, it is necessary to clash with them sooner or later. How can Muslims take refuge with people who enslave humans when they have come to achieve human dignity and raise... They raised the slogan of Islam, which is the saying of their noble Prophet: (People are equal like the teeth of a comb. No one has superiority over anyone else except through fear of God)?
The choice of Abyssinia to immigrate was to support this persecuted race, protect it, and save it from the clutches of the two authoritarian empires. If the Muslims resorted to one of these two governments, how would they fight it in the future, and how would they reciprocate kindness with abuse? Islam was victorious in this migration of this race to announce to the world that it is the human religion that came for the dignity of man on earth, regardless of his color and race, and to liberate him from slavery and slavery. The Prophet raised the status of this race and exalted his status, so he chose a person from it as a muezzin to shout from the roof of the Kaaba the call of God. ... Allah is the greatest
Glimpses from the biography of the Master of the Prophets and Messengers Muhammad (may God bless him and his family)
The Holy Qur’an is the holiest book that God sent down to the most honorable Prophet (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) to guide people, guide them, purify them, and bring them out of darkness into light. It is the constitution of all humanity from the time of its revelation to eternity, the criterion that differentiates between truth and falsehood, the clarification of everything, and the guide to the paths of goodness. The righteousness, the warning against all evil and misguidance, the link between the Creator and His creation, the clarification of God’s rulings and laws, the Book the likes of which the jinn and mankind are unable to produce, even a single surah.
Since the Noble Qur’an is the primary source of Islamic communication of the noble prophetic mission, the Noble Prophet Muhammad (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) emphasized his contemplation when reading, that is, understanding what is recited from it. He said (may God’s prayers be upon him and his family): “O community of reciters of the Qur’an, fear God.” For what he conveyed to you from his book, I am responsible and you are responsible. I am responsible for conveying the message. As for you, you will be asked about what you conveyed from the Book of God and my Sunnah”. Therefore, we find the speech of the Most Noble Prophet addressed to the readers of the Qur’an. He commanded them to fear God, because he is responsible for the Qur’an and for conveying the message to them, and they are responsible for what they read in the Book of God. This is the first control that the Most Honorable Prophet referred to in how to deal with the texts of the Holy Qur’an in his life.
Based on this, God (Almighty and Majestic) bestowed comprehensive care on the Noble Prophet from the first moment of his birth, and prepared for him things that would qualify his personality to bear the burden of the final call to the messages addressed to the worlds, which is the greatest intercession on the Day of Judgment. Purify him, his beloved, and enable anyone who wants to refine him to follow his example. We briefly explain the image of the Noble Prophet and his attributes in the Holy Qur’an, and they can be summarized as follows:
Noble lineage:
Many narrations have been reported confirming the purity of his lineage from the Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) to his grandfather Abdul Muttalib and his sons Abdullah and Abu Talib. This came in the interpretation of the Almighty’s saying ( And it is He who created from water a human being and appointed him by lineage and marriage, and your Lord is Powerful ) (and He said ( May God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family: “God created Adam and created with him a drop of water and mixed it with His light, then deposited it with Adam, then his son Shet, then Enoush, then father by father, until he deposited it with Abraham, then Ishmael, mother to mother and father, from the pure of the loins to the purified of the wombs, until it came to Abd al-Muttalib, so they separated. That light divided into two groups: to Abdullah, who gave birth to Muhammad, and to Abu Talib, who gave birth to Ali . ”.
What was narrated by Imam Muhammad ibn Ali al-Baqir (peace be upon him) is completely consistent with the Almighty’s saying, “ And your turning among those who prostrate” (meaning, He transports you from pure to pure, meaning in the loins of the prophets, and His saying (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family): “He continued to move me from the loins of The pure ones, to the wombs of the purified ones, until He brings me out into this world of yours”.
The character of the Noble Prophet (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family):
As for how the most honorable Prophet Muhammad (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) was created, it was narrated on the authority of Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (peace be upon him) who said: “There is nothing other than Him, nor known, nor unknown, so the first thing He began to create was His creation, that He created Muhammad”. The clay from which the Noble Prophet (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) was created was distinct from others, and this is what Imam Jaafar bin Muhammad al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: “O Jabir, God created people into three types, and this is what God Almighty says : ‘ You are three pairs* so you are the companions of the starboard. What are the Companions of the Right Hand? And the Companions of the Shammah. What are the Companions of the Shammah? And the Forerunners, the Forerunners . Those who are close Prophets and supported them with the spirit of faith and with it they feared God. He supported them with the spirit of power and with it they were strengthened to obey God, and they hated disobeying Him, and He placed in them the spirit of the stage by which people go and come, and He placed in the believers, the owners of the starboard, the spirit of faith, and through it they feared God, and He placed in them the spirit of power, and through it they were strengthened in obedience to God, and He made in them the spirit of the stage, by which people go and come”.
Beauty of appearance:
The most honorable Prophet Muhammad (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) was distinguished by many qualities. He combined elements of beauty in his person, among which we are interested in what was narrated by Jabir al-Ja’fi: “I said to Imam al-Baqir (peace be upon him): Describe for me the Prophet of God,” and he (peace be upon him) said: “He was White, tinged with red, full of eyes, eyebrows drawn together, limbs splayed out, as if gold had been emptied on his claws, great in the shape of his shoulders, when he turned, he turned around all together due to the intensity of his arousal, his liquid seeped from his mane to his navel, as if it were the middle of refined silver, and as if his neck to his shoulders were a silver jug. When he drinks, his nose almost repels the water, and when he walks, he bends over as if he is descending into a rain shower. The likes of the Prophet of God have not been seen before him or after him” [9] . In another narration on the authority of Amer bin Wa’ila bin Abdullah bin Amr Al-Laithi Al-Kinani Al-Hijazi, the companion who loved the Commander of the Faithful, he said: “I saw the Messenger of God on the day of the conquest of Mecca, and I could not forget the whiteness of his face and the blackness of his hair, so I said to my mother, ‘Who is this?’” She said: “This is the Messenger of God ”.
The human characteristic of the Noble Prophet:
Through the good news and fear it arouses in the human soul, the Almighty said: “O Prophet, indeed We have sent you as a witness and a bringer of good tidings and a warner, * a caller to God by His permission and an illuminating lamp.” He is the caller to God with his message, and he is the bringer of good tidings Paradise for whoever believes and obeys, and he is warned of Hell for whoever disbelieves and disobeys He is the witness of people as they move along the line of righteousness or deviation, so that he may bear witness before God to everything he has seen . He is the lamp that shines for people with his message through the message, which is all light and light, and therefore his role was to bring people out of darkness into light, because he is the lamp that illuminates his mind, heart, soul, and life and just as the Holy Qur’an depicts to us how the Most Noble Prophet (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) used to talk to the people to connect them to the message, far from any other influence, because if he had come with the treasures of the earth in his hand, it would have been said that the people followed him for his money, and if he had spoken to the people of the unseen, it would have been said that He captured their conscience through the unseen that left his influence on their souls. If he were an angel, it would be said that his angelic nature was the one that left his influence on them.
Morals of the Noble Prophet Muhammad (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family):
It can be said that some of the Qur’anic images from which we can highlight the image of the Noble Prophet Muhammad (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) are in the words of God Almighty: “It is because of mercy from God that you were kind to them, and if you had been harsh and hard-hearted, they would have dispersed from around you. ”, it was (may God bless him and grant him peace). (Peace be upon him and his family) who is gentle in his heart and overflowing with tolerance, so he does not bear evil or cruelty to anyone, and gentle in his tongue with his sweet words that open people’s hearts to him and his message . In addition, he came in order to destroy all the shackles of hatred, hatred, polytheism, disbelief, backwardness, ignorance, and others. We conclude from this... Scientists have pointed out that if one or two of the qualities of perfection and majesty occur in a person, his worth is greater, and proverbs are given in his name, so it is said that he is more forgiving than the most sane, more generous than Hatim, and more intelligent than Ayas... So what about the one whose destiny is so great that they are all combined in him? All of these qualities are part of the virtue of prophecy, message, kindness, and love.
If we want to touch upon the features of the personality of the Noble Prophet Muhammad (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) in all aspects of life, let us take from them the lesson, the example, and the role model, as the frankness of the Qur’an was the best evidence known to man regarding the Noble Prophet Muhammad, which is what it described of him: “And indeed, you are of great creation.”, Hence God Almighty commanded him to receive the new Muslims with a warm welcome and an open face: “And when those who believe in Our revelations come to you, say, ‘Peace be upon you.’ Your Lord has written down mercy upon Himself , ” and thus our most honorable Prophet, A Good example in all things for all people, and for this reason God said God Almighty “Indeed there has been for you in the Messenger of God a good example for whoever hopes in God and the Last Day and remembers God often”. It seems that there are three conditions for imitating the greatest prophet as described in the Qur’an In this verse, the first and second are that we hope in God and the Last Day and believe that it is the truth and it is not With a lie, and that this world is not the end of our life and destiny, but rather the beginning of our journey to the abode of eternity. As for the third condition, “And He remembers God often,” it means that we will not neglect to remember God, no matter what the circumstances, and that there are descriptions in the Holy Qur’an that are explicitly mentioned and others that are mentioned implicitly, and among these are these
The descriptions are:
Purity of lineage:
Many narrations have been reported about the purity of the lineage of the most honorable Prophet, from the Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) to his grandfather Abdul Muttalib and his children Abdullah, and this came in the interpretation of the Almighty’s saying, “ And your turning among those who prostrate ” ( meaning, He moves you from pure to pure, meaning in the loins of the prophets, and He is the most noble of creation. God and loved them to God. God did not create an angel close to Him nor a prophet sent. From Adam, so whoever is better to God, and none more beloved than him, He will seat him on the Day of Resurrection on His Throne and intercede with him for every intercession for him, and in his name the pen was written in the Preserved Tablet in the Mother of the Book and he (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) said: “He continued to transfer me from the loins of the pure, to the wombs of the purified, until He brought me out into this world of yours”.
Likewise, it was narrated on the authority of Imam Muhammad bin Ali Al-Baqir (peace be upon him) in the interpretation of the Almighty’s saying , “ And He will send down upon you Heaven (He (peace be upon him) said: “What is meant by the word heaven inwardly is the Messenger of God (may God bless him and his family)”. As for how the most honorable Prophet Muhammad (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) was created, the narrations indicate that Imam Muhammad bin Ali al-Baqir (peace be upon him) said: “There is nothing other than Him, nor known, nor unknown. The first thing He began to create was to create Muhammad.”.
There is a question that arises, what is the reason for sending the prophets (peace be upon them), and the answer to that is in the Almighty’s saying: “ Mankind was one nation, so God sent the prophets as bearers of good tidings and warnings ” so the goal is to give good tidings of Paradise to the righteous, and woe and eternity in Hell to the corrupt, and for this reason He sent God Almighty has one hundred and twenty-four thousand prophets. Historical narratives show that the clay from which the Noble Prophet Muhammad (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) was created is distinct from others, and this is what Imam Jaafar bin Muhammad al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) confirmed by saying, “...God created people into three types, and this is what God Almighty says : ‘ You were Three pairs* So the companions of the starboard side are what are the companions of the starboard side* and the companions of the starboard side are what are the companions of the starboard side* and the forerunners are the forerunners* those who are near ( And the forerunners are the Messenger of God, especially God among His creation. He placed in them five spirits. He supported them with the Holy Spirit. In Him they sent prophets.
He supported them with the spirit of faith, and through Him they feared God. He supported them with the spirit of power, and through Him they were strengthened. To obey God and hate disobeying Him, He placed in them the spirit of the stage by which people go and come, and He placed in the believers, the owners of the starboard, the spirit of faith, and with it they feared God, and He made in them the spirit of power, and with it they were strengthened in obedience from God, and He made in them the spirit of the stage by which people go and come”.
Description of the greatest Prophet Muhammad (may God bless him and his family)
The greatest Prophet (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) was described with many characteristics, the most important of which was the whiteness of his noble face, as he narrated on the authority of Imam Muhammad bin Ali Al-Baqir: “It was white with a reddish hue, full of eyes, close-knit eyebrows, and straight limbs, as if gold had been poured onto its claws. He has great latticework on his shoulders. When he turns, he turns around all together due to the intensity of his arousal. His fluid seeps from his mane to his navel, as if it were the middle of refined silver. His neck to his shoulders is as if a silver jug. When he drinks, his nose almost repels water, and when he walks, he is drawn up, as if he was descending in a pouring water. He had never seen anything like a Prophet of God. Before him or after him”, then whoever studies his biography and contemplates his morals and his good conduct will find that they are completely the morals of the Qur’an, and no one disputes with him in them, and that was narrated from him, “may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family.” He used to walk lightly... when he walked, it was as if he was lowering himself from a state. He turned around all together, lowering his gaze, his gaze at the earth longer than his gaze at the sky, his gaze mostly observant, leading his companions and greeting those who greeted him.
The most honorable and worshipful Prophet
When we examine all aspects of the life of the Great Prophet (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) to notice how he embodied his relationship with slavery, obedience, submission, and submission to God Almighty, in every aspect of life, the question that arises is: What was his relationship with God Almighty in the matter of prayer, supplication, and recitation of the Qur’an? It can be said that the Most Honorable Prophet understood these worship practices as they truly were. Let us take prayer as an example but not limited to it. How did the Most Honorable Prophet translate it and wait for its time to arrive? When the time for prayer came, the Great Prophet (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) used to say: “Arise, O Bilal, and comfort us with prayer”, meaning, arise and give the call for prayer to begin, so as to remove from this soul its worries and troubles.
Historical accounts indicate that Umm Salamah was asked about the Noble Prophet’s prayer at night. She said: “What is the matter with him and his prayer? He used to pray and then sleep as much as he prayed, then he would pray as much as he slept, then sleep as much as he prayed until morning”. Should we follow the example of the Noble Prophet and turn to Our prayer when the time for prayer comes? If we are like that, then we have in fact embodied slavery as he (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) explained it and embodied it in his biography and behavior, and we have made the most honorable Prophet a role model and role model for us.
As for his fasting (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family), his practice of this worship was not as a deprivation of the body from the pleasures of food, drink, and sexual intercourse. Rather, it was a practice that stemmed from awareness and awareness of the reality and essence of this worship, and that its purpose was to strengthen the will, refine the soul, raise it in virtues, and keep it away from vices. . He fasted most of the months in Sha`ban, and he used to say: “Shaban is my month, and Rajab is your month, O Ali, and Ramadan is the month of God Almighty.” As for the month of Ramadan, the Prophet had another matter in his fasting. On the authority of Imam Jaafar bin Muhammad al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) he said: “The Messenger of God was For the last ten days, he secluded himself in the mosque, and his hair covering was made for him, and his apron was rolled up, and his bed was folded”.
As for supplication, it is, in fact, an expression by the believer of his constant need for God Almighty in all his affairs, his submission to Him, and his submission to his dominance and authority. The most honorable Prophet did not stop supplicating at all times, as was reported from the Greatest Prophet (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family): “Shall I not guide you to something?” A weapon that will save you from your enemies and provide your livelihood? They said: Yes, he said: “Call upon your Lord day and night, for the believer’s weapon is supplication”.
As for his dealings (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) with his nation, whether with members of his family or with members of his community, he was characterized by high morals, including kindness, tenderness, care, and reverence for the elders, respect for the young, and adhering to the etiquette of faith-based sitting. This meaning was referred to as “sitting with trusts, but two men sit together.” With the trustworthiness of God Almighty, if they separate, each one of them should conceal the speech of his friend.”.
The Messenger of God was the best of those who spoke in gatherings and demonstrated their rights and preservation, and this is what Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) explained, as he asked his father, the Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him): On the authority of the Noble Prophet (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) sitting, he said: “He does not sit or stand except in remembrance of God, and he does not dwell in places, and he forbids them from being in them, and when he comes to a people he sits wherever he is He ends the assembly with him, and he orders that, and he gives all its sessions his share, no He who sits with him thinks that someone is more generous to him than him. Whoever sits with him or opposes him in a need will be patient until he leaves, and whoever asks him a need will not be seen Only by her or by the ease of speech, the people expanded his generosity and character, and he became a father to them...”.
His death (may God bless him and his family)
God Almighty willed that He would take possession of His Greatest Messenger (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) and move him to his side on the twenty-eighth of the month of Safar in the year 11 AH, according to the most reliable narrations that have reached us. The Commander of the Faithful, Ali bin Abi Talib, “peace be upon him,” took charge of washing and preparing him, as agreed upon. That is the majority of Muslim sources and historical figures.
It was narrated on the authority of the Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him) who said: “When the Messenger of God blinked, he said: To God we belong, and to Him we shall return. What a calamity that affected the closest ones and afflicted the believers. The like of which they had never been afflicted with, nor had they witnessed.” When the Messenger of God was placed in the grave, they heard a herald calling from The roof of the house ( Allah only desires to remove impurity from you, O People of the House, and to purify you with a thorough purification).
The Commander of the Faithful concludes his statement about preparing the most honorable Prophet and burying him by saying, “I was the last person to make contact with the Messenger of God, and I let him into his pit.”. So he dug a grave for him, and the Commander of the Faithful entered to undertake the burial of the Prophet (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family). He descended the grave and placed the Commander of the Faithful, the Messenger of God, on it. He raised his hands, revealing the face of “may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family,” and placed his cheek on the ground, facing the Qiblah on his right. Then he placed milk on it and sprinkled dirt on it.
Accordingly, we conclude from this that we should stop at these noble qualities that our noble Prophet embodied, and that we should imitate and imitate them, and that we should urge the people of the nation to imitate them, follow their guidance, follow their approach, and imitate them. Our Prophet was a Qur’an who walked among the people, spreading the virtue, values, and ideals that God called for. Glory be to Him, and if He commemorates the most honorable Prophet, it is not enough to attend this occasion, but rather your true commemoration is when you hear such hadiths and such a biography, and then after that you embody it in your daily life.
