MUHAMMAD May Peace of God Be Upon Him
Posted: 10 February 2009 at 12:09pm You may be an antheist or an agnostic; or you may belong to any of the religious denominations that exist in the world today. You may be a communist or a believer in democracy and freedom. No matter what you are, and no matter what your ideological and political beliefs, personal and social habits happen to be - you must still know this man. ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA confirms: "....a mass of detail in the early sources show that he was an honest and upright man who had gained the respect and loyalty of others who were like-wise honest and upright men." (Vol. 12) GEORGE BERNARD SHAW said about him: "He must be called the Saviour of Humanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it much needed peace and happiness." (THE GENUINE ISLAM, Singapore, Vol. 1, No. 8, 1936) He was by far the most remarkable man that ever set foot on this earth. He preached a religion, founded a state, built a nation, laid down a moral code, initiated numerous social and political reforms, established a powerful and dynamic society to practice and represent his teachings and completely revolutionized the worlds of human thought and behavior for all times to come. "HIS NAME IS MUHAMMAD" May Peace of God Be Upon Him (pbuh) He was born in During this short period of 23 years of his Prophethood, he
changed the complete Lamartine, the renowned historian speaking on the essentials of human greatness wonders: "If greatness of purpose, smallness of means and astounding results are the three criteria of human genius, who could dare to compare any great man in modern history with Muhammad? The most famous men created arms, laws and empires only. They founded, if anything at all, no more than material powers which often crumbled away before their eyes. This man moved not only armies, legislation, empires, peoples and dynasties, but millions of men in one-third of the then inhabited world; and more than that, he moved the altars, the gods, the religions, the ideas, the beliefs and souls....his forbearance in victory, his ambition, which was entirely devoted to one idea and in no manner striving for an empire; his endless prayers, his mystic conversations with God, his death and his triumph after death; all these attest not to an imposture but to a firm conviction which gave him the power to restore a dogma. This dogma was two-fold, the unity of God and the immateriality of God; the former telling what God is, the latter telling what God is not; the one overthrowing false gods with the sword, the other starting an idea with the words. "Philosopher, orator, apostle, legislator, warrior, conqueror of ideas, restorer of rational dogmas, of a cult without images, the founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of one spiritual empire, that is MUHAMMAD. As regards all the standards by which Human Greatness may be measured, we may well ask, IS THERE ANY MAN GREATER THAN HE?" (Lamartine, HISTOIRE DE LA TURQUIE, Paris, 1854, Vol. II, pp 276-277) The world has had its share of great personalities. But these were one-sided figures who distinguished themselves in but one or two fields, such as religious thought or military leadership. The lives and teachings of these great personalities of the world are shrouded in the mist of time. There is so much speculation about the time and place of their birth, the mode and style of their life, the nature and detail of their teachings and the degree and measure of their success or failure that it is impossible for humanity to reconstruct accurately the lives and teachings of these men. Not so this man. Muhammad (pbuh) accomplished so much in such diverse fields of human thought and behavior in the fullest blaze of human history. Every detail of his private life and public utterances has been accurately documented and faithfully preserved to our day. The authenticity of the record so preserved are vouched for not only by the faithful followers but even by his prejudiced critics. Muhammad (pbuh) was a religious teacher, a social reformer, a moral guide, an administrative colossus, a faithful friend, a wonderful companion, a devoted husband, a loving father - all in one. No other man in history ever excelled or equaled him in any of these different aspects of life - but it was only for the selfless personality of Muhammad (pbuh) to achieve such incredible perfections. MAHATMA GANDHI, speaking on the character of Muhammad, (pbuh) says in YOUNG INDIA: "I wanted to know the best of one who holds today's undisputed sway over the hearts of millions of mankind....I became more than convinced that it was not the sword that won a place for Islam in those days in the scheme of life. It was the rigid simplicity, the utter self-effacement of the Prophet, the scrupulous regard for his pledges, his intense devotion to this friends and followers, his intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute trust in God and in his own mission. These and not the sword carried everything before them and surmounted every obstacle. When I closed the 2nd volume (of the Prophet's biography), I was sorry there was not more for me to read of the great life." THOMAS CALYLE in his HEROES AND HERO WORSHIP, was simply amazed as to: "how one man single-handedly, could weld warring tribes and wandering Bedouins into a most powerful and civilized nation in less than two decades." DIWAN CHAND SHARMA wrote: "Muhammad was the soul of kindness, and his influence was felt and never forgotten by those around him." (D.C. Sharma, THE PROPHETS OF THE EAST, Calcutta, 1935, pp. 12) EDWARD GIBBON and SIMON OCKLEY speaking on the profession of ISLAM write: "'I BELIEVE IN ONE GOD, AND MAHOMET, AN APOSTLE OF GOD' is the simple and invariable profession of Islam. The intellectual image of the Deity has never been degraded by any visible idol; the honor of the Prophet has never transgressed the measure of human virtues; and his living precepts have restrained the gratitude of his disciples within the bounds of reason and religion." (HISTORY OF THE SARACEN EMPIRES, London, 1870, p. 54) Muhammad (pbuh) was nothing more or less than a human being. But he was a man with a noble mission, which was to unite humanity on the worship of ONE and ONLY ONE GOD and to teach them the way to honest and upright living based on the commands of God. He always described himself as, 'A Servant and Messenger of God,' and so indeed every action of his proclaimed to be. Speaking on the aspect of equality before God in Islam, the
famous poetess of "It was the first religion that preached and practiced democracy; for, in the mosque, when the call for prayer is sounded and worshippers are gathered together, the democracy of Islam is embodied five times a day when the peasant and king kneel side by side and proclaim: 'God Alone is Great'... I have been struck over and over again by this indivisible unity of Islam that makes man instinctively a brother." (S. Naidu, IDEALS OF ISLAM, vide Speeches & Writings, Madras, 1918, p. 169) In the words of PROF. HURGRONJE: "The league of nations founded by the prophet of Islam
put the principle of international unity and human brotherhood on such
universal foundations as to show candle to other nations." He continues:
"The fact is that no nation of the world can show a parallel to what Islam
has done towards the realization of the idea of the The world has not hesitated to raise to divinity, individuals whose lives and missions have been lost in legend. Historically speaking, none of these legends achieved even a fraction of what Muhammad (pbuh) accomplished. And all his striving was for the sole purpose of uniting mankind for the worship of One God on the codes of moral excellence. Muhammad (pbuh) or his followers never at any time claimed that he was a Son of God or the God-incarnate or a man with divinity - but he always was and is even today considered as only a Messenger chosen by God. MICHAEL H. HART in his recently published book on ratings of men who contributed towards the benefit and upliftment of mankind writes: "My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular levels." (M.H. Hart, THE 100: A RANKING OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PERSONS IN HISTORY, New York, 1978, p. 33) K. S. RAMAKRISHNA RAO, an Indian Professor of Philosophy in his booklet, "Muhammad, The Prophet of Islam," calls him the "PERFECT MODEL FOR HUMAN LIFE." Prof. Ramakrishna Rao explains his point by saying: "The personality of Muhammad, it is most difficult to get into the whole truth of it. Only a glimpse of it I can catch. What a dramatic succession of picturesque scenes! There is Muhammad, the Prophet. There is Muhammad, the Warrior; Muhammad, the Businessman; Muhammad, the Statesman; Muhammad, the Orator; Muhammad, the Reformer; Muhammad, the Refuge of Orphans; Muhammad, the Protector of Slaves; Muhammad, the Emancipator of Women; Muhammad, the Judge; Muhammad, the Saint. All in all these magnificent roles, in all these departments of human activities, he is alike a hero." Today after a lapse of fourteen centuries, the life and teachings of MUHAMMAD (pbuh) have survived without the slightest loss, alteration or interpolation. They offer the same undying hope for treating mankind's many ills, which they did when he was alive. This is not a claim of Muhammad's (pbuh) followers but also the inescapable conclusion forced upon by a critical and unbiased history. The least YOU could do as a thinking and concerned human being is to stop for a moment and ask yourself: Could these statements sounding so extraordinary and revolutionary be really true? And supposing they really are true and you did not know this man MUHAMMAD (pbuh) or hear about him, isn't it time you responded to this tremendous challenge and put in some effort to know him? It will cost you nothing but it may prove to be the beginning of a completely new era in your life. We invite you to make a discovery of this wonderful man, Muhammad (pbuh), the like of whom never walked on the face of this earth. http://www.rasoulallah.net/subject_en.asp?hit=1&parent_id=380&sub_id=7684 Edited by Green - 09 April 2009 at 6:21am Say: Lo! my worship and my sacrifice and my living and my dying are for Allah, Lord of the Worlds.

How was the Prophet Treating his Wives?
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) dealt justly with his wives, loved them, fondled them, and was patient and loyal with them. His actions sprang from a feeling of responsibility and because Allah the Almighty has created him righteous and equitable by nature. Lady A'isha said that the Prophet of Allah (PBUH) never preferred one wife more than the others and used to see them all in their homes everyday although he used to spend the night with one only. Treating his wives with equity never changed according to the change in his conditions. Whether he was traveling or present he was equitable. When he wanted to travel he used to pick without personal preference (through some way like drawing straws) which wife to accompany him. He used to spend one day and one night with each wife except when Lady Sauda Bint Zam'a reached old age and no longer had sexual desires she dedicated her day and night to Lady A'isha may Allah be pleased with them. By doing so, Lady Sauda was also seeking to please the Prophet (PBUH).
Another form of dealing justly was when the Prophet married a virgin he would stay with her for three nights not to let her feel lonely and then he would spend with her the same as his other wives. When he (PBUH) married Umm Salama he said to her: "There is no lack of estimation for you on the part of your husband. So if you desire I can spend a week with you, and if you like I may spend three (nights) and then I will visit you in turn." She said: "Spend three (nights)." Narrated by Muslim. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) treated his wife equally even in his last days when he was very sick. He used to go to each of his wives in her turn. Lady A'isha said that when the Prophet became too sick he asked her wives for permission to be nursed at Aisha's. They agreed of course. In another narration, Lady A'isha said that Prophet Muhammad asked in his last days: "Where should I be tomorrow?" hoping it to be the turn of A'isha. His wives permitted him to stay wherever he wanted. He stayed with Lady A'isha until he died. He died in Aisha’s arms. Although that the Prophet (PBUH) treated his wives with perfect equity in what he could control, he apologized to Allah the Almighty that he could not be equitable in what he could not control. Lady A'isha may Allah be pleased with her reported that the Prophet of Allah (PBUH) used to treat his wives equally and say: "O Allah, this is how I divide what I can control. O Allah do not blame me for what You control and I can not control." Abu Dawoud said: "Prophet Muhammad meant what is in his heart." Allah controls our feelings and hearts and made the love of Lady A'isha greater in the heart of the Prophet than the love of any other woman. That he could not control indeed. Because feelings are out of our hands and in the hands of Allah; men married to more than one wife are not obliged to equally love each wife but to be equal in spending time with them and expenses. However, the Prophet implores Allah to forgive him for loving Lady A'isha more. Allah says: "And the ones who bring whatever they bring with hearts tremulous that they are returning to their Lord" (Al-Mu'menun:60). Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) stressed on the importance of dealing justly with wives because otherwise on the Day of Judgment the man will be severely punished. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is the faithful believers' example. Allah says: "Indeed you have already had a fair example, in the Messenger of Allah, for whoever hopes for Allah and the Last Day and remembers Allah much." (Al-Ahzab: 21)
The sayings and actions of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) are legislations guiding his 'Umma' nation to the righteous path. We should follow in the footsteps of the Prophet except for the actions intended by Allah the Almighty to be for the Prophet alone Edited by Green - 11 February 2009 at 4:23pm Muhammad is a Man
Beyond All Suspicions
".. Muhammad (Peace be upon him) was not like anyone in his attributes and characteristics. He enjoyed all graces of the other prophets (Peace be upon them all) and was a true hero; therefore, any impartial person should respect his example and greet his manhood. "There is no deification or suspicion of deification in the meaning of the Islamic prophethood.. The nations worldwide used to deify kings, heroes, and forefathers. The prophets were subjected to such mix between them and the deity by people. It was better for people to believe that the prophet or messenger is a man like the other people and has no divine being whatsoever; therefore, we find the Holy Quran all the time confirming the same meaning, such as these verses: {I am but a man like yourselves, (but) the inspiration has come to me} (Al-Kahf: 110). The word "like yourselves" means the absolute equality and avoiding exaggerating the prophethood and mission beyond the human being level. Not only this, there is more clear-cut meaning for the same in another verse; {But if they turn away - then We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], over them as a guardian; upon you is only [the duty of] notification} (As-Shura: 48). This verse warned the Prophet (Peace be upon him) about the reality of his task and the limits of his mission and that he may neither exceed the same, nor the people may raise him beyond such limits. ".. Although the Prophet was the tongue of heaven; above him is Allah The Almighty & below him are the believers and slaves of Allah The Almighty, the Prophet (Peace be upon him) did not feel pride or haughtiness; contrary, he was keen to avoid the same and dedicated himself to fight pride in himself before uprooting it from his followers. If the Prophet Mohammad (Peace be upon him) took pride and glorified himself for guiding the people, having their support or owning authority, he will not achieve all that. Though his companions were praising him knowing that he is worthy of such praise, but he was telling them: "Don't praise me like the praise of the Christians to Jesus Christ; I am just the slave of Allah, but call me the slave and messenger of Allah" . The Prophet (Peace be upon him) once went to a group of his companions; seeing him, they stood out of respect and glory, but he prevented them and said: "Don't do like the Non-Arabs who stand for each other to glorify one another". "No one can fabricate more allegations about him. He has tasted long-term ordeals until he was blessed with victory which was not even expected or possible to a man propagating the religion of Allah within the capital of idols … his impartiality was beyond all worldly benefits; his virtue was far above all pleasures of life; and his forgiveness was pure from any pride or domination. He did not leave to his family or tribe any of the worldly life features, ranks or authority. He gave preference to the interests of people and forgot himself. He cancelled the high rank of his tribe before Islam and made them like the other individuals of his followers in equality. He made the slaves and servants equal to the kings of Quraish. He did not give power to himself or to his relatives. His relatives before Islam was occupying high rank but he undermined ranks and made them equal to the others. After all of this, who can ever match such sublime glory or doubt such clear-cut truth! There is no option but to believe. This Prophet (Peace be upon him) was neither astray nor being misled, he did not speak of his own desire … Who can be believed if this truthful Prophet was not believed! (Peace be upon him). "Which biography is worthy of being defended more than his biography? He has converted people from the worship of the abominated idols to the worship of Allah; the Lord of the worlds. He guided people from loss and corruption to belief and loftiness. He did not leave to himself or his relatives any of the worldly benefits sought by seekers of the life vanities. "He (Muhammad peace be upon him) was controlling and not controlled by his energy. He was using but not used by his functions. This is not but an advantage in his features. He (Peace be upon him) has normal inclinations but he kept them under balance to use them in the manner which honors the rank of the human being. He seeks the beauty and magnificence in the manner which keeps his dignity and promotes his sublimation, virtue and purity. This is clearly embodied in the sublime manner of consummating the marriage of his nine wives (May Allah be pleased with them all).. 2 ___________________________________________ 1-Dr. Nazmi Luka, Christian from 2-Taken from the book of: Muhammad The Mission & Messenger, and the book of The Special Life of Muhammad .
Our Prophet was a
Person of Extraordinary Beauty Caricatures in cartoons recently published in A number of caricatures reflecting the dark mindsets that support violence, drawn by artists with Darwinist and materialist views, have been published by a joint decision of the British and French Masonic Lodges’ Supreme Councils. The caricatures in question are actually a camouflage for the dark and murky worlds of certain atheists, representing only a visible part of the dark, wide-ranging moves that Global Freemasonry has initiated against Muslims. People need to know that the most effective—and permanent—solution to such attacks is a joint struggle against Darwinism and materialism. Our Prophet (saas) possessed such superior moral values, and communicated the message of Islam—a religion of peace, love and brotherhood—that it is impossible to equate him with caricatures of this kind. Like the other messengers sent by God—such as Prophets Abraham, Moses and Jesus (peace be upon them all)—our Prophet (saas) was a superior, benign and exceptionally beautiful individual. All Muslims are aware of this fact and all publications of this kind are totally in vain. Clearly, atheistic materialism can never overcome Islam by such cheap means. The consequences of daring to mock the prophets are revealed thus in the Qur'an: Messengers before you were also mocked, but those who jeered were engulfed by what they mocked. (Qur'an, 6:10) The external appearance of Prophet Muhammad (saas) was full of the beauties of creation. The companions of our Prophet (saas) have handed down many details of the outward physical beauty manifested in this blessed individual by God—from the majestic dignity that so impressed those who saw him to the light in his peerless countenance, from his dignified posture to his serene laughter. Some of the outward features of Prophet Muhammad (saas), sent as a moral role model to all humanity, are set out below. You can find comprehensive information on this subject in the book The Prophet Muhammad (saas) written by Harun Yahya and available on the website: www.theprophetmuhammad.org 1. The Matchless Appearance of Our Prophet (saas) Narrated by Ibrahim b. Muhammad (ra), one of the grandchildren of Ali: “. . . One who strove to convey his superior traits and impressive qualities simply confessed his impotence and incompetence in describing him by stating that he has never before him or after him seen anyone comparable to him. May God's salat (prayer, prayer made to our Prophet, asking God for forgiveness, God’s mercy, establishing prayer) and peace be upon him.” 2. The Beauty of Our Prophet (saas) His companions described the beauty of the Prophet (saas) in these terms: “The Prophet (saas) had a most handsome constitution. Some likened the beauty of his smile to that of the full moon . . . His nose was thin . . . His face was smooth . . . His beard was thick . . . His neck was most beautiful . . . If the rays of the Sun fell on his neck, it appeared like a cup of silver mixed with gold . . . The expanse between his shoulders was wide.” 3. The Majesty of Our Prophet (saas) Narrated by Hasan: “Our Messenger of God was, by nature, imposing and magnificent.” 4. The Radiant Face of Our Prophet (saas) Anas bin Malik (ra) says: “The Prophet (saas) was neither tall nor short. He was handsome. His hair was neither delicate nor curly. On the other hand, the color the face of Mubarak (upon whom Divine goodness is bestowed, one who is given abundantly, the Beneficial, the Auspicious), was of a splendorous white.” 5. The Powerful Body of Our Prophet (saas) “His neck was most beautiful, neither long, nor short. If the rays of the Sun fell on his neck, it appeared like a cup of silver mixed with gold. His chest was broad. It was even like a mirror and white like the moonlight... His shoulders were wide. His palms were softer than wool.” 6. The Stature of Our Prophet (saas): Baraa bin Aazib (ra) relates: “I never saw someone more handsome than the Messenger of God. His hair reached his shoulders. The portion between his two shoulders was wide. He was neither very tall nor very short.” 7. The Beautiful Eyes of Our Prophet (saas): Abu Huraira (ra) describes him: “His forehead was wide, and the place between his eyebrows was bright like pure silver, and his eyes were very beautiful and his eyes’ pupils were black. The hairs of his eyelashes were profuse . . . ” 8. The Complexion of Our Prophet (saas): Abu Huraira (ra) reports: “He was reddish-white . . .” 9. The Hair of Our Prophet (saas): Aisha (ra) reports: “The blessed hair of The Messenger of God (saas) was longer than those that reached the earlobes, and shorter than those that reached the shoulders.” 10. The Beard of Our Prophet (saas): “He had a thick, dense beard.” 11. The Beautiful Mouth of Our Prophet (saas): “His teeth were as white as pearls and bright, and the light gleamed from his front teeth as he spoke. When he laughed, it was as if his mouth gave off rays like soft lightning . . .” 12. The Manner of Dress of Our Prophet (saas): Jundub ibn Makith (ra) said: “Whenever a delegation came to meet the Messenger of God, he would wear his best clothes and order his leading companions to do likewise.” Another hadith relates: “You are going to visit your brothers, so repair your saddles and make sure that you are dressed well.” 13. The Manner of Sitting of Our Prophet (saas): Qaylah bint Makhramah (ra) reports: “I saw the Messenger of God (saas) in the mosque (in a very humble posture) sitting. Due to his awe-inspiring personality, I began shivering.” 14. The Manner of Speaking of Our Prophet (saas): “The Prophet (saas) was the greatest of the Arabs in oratory and beauty of speech. He said: ‘I am the greatest orator among the Arabs.’” 15. The Smiling Face of Our Prophet (saas): As recalled by Ali: “The Messenger of God (saas)... was the one who smiled the most and the most joyful of all.” 16. The Glances of Our Prophet (saas): Hasan, the grandson of our Prophet (saas), described the way he looked at things as follows: “The way he looked was extremely expressive . . .” 17. The Pleasant Scent of Our Prophet (saas): Jaabir bin Samura (ra) states: “Whenever the Holy Prophet tread on any path, when someone passed by later, they could recognize that the prophet had passed by there because they could smell the fragrance of his body.” 18. The Affection for Others of Our Prophet (saas) Anas bin Malik (ra) relates: “I remained in the service of the Messenger of God (saas) for ten years. He never once told me ‘Ugh.’ When I did something, he never asked me, ‘Why did you do so?’ When I failed to do a certain task, he never asked me why I did not do it.” 19. The Superior Moral Values of Our Prophet (saas): “God’s Messenger (saas). When he shook hands with anyone, he did not withdraw his hands till the other man withdrew his. Similarly, he did not turn away his face from anyone till that man turned his face to the other side. And he was never seen to put forward his knees in front of one with whom he was sitting.” “. . . He used to call his companions by their surnames with honor and he used to give one surname who had no surname.” 20. The Modesty of Our Prophet (saas): “. . . Everyone thought that the Prophet honored him more. Whoever came to him could see his face . . . Yes, the way he sat, listened, his words, graceful jests and attention were always for those with him. Besides, the meetings he held with friends was marked by decency, modesty and security.” Edited by Green - 19 February 2009 at 4:09pm Say: Lo! my worship and my sacrifice and my living and my dying are for Allah, Lord of the Worlds.

The Prophet's Last Sermon In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful This sermon was delivered on the ninth day of Dhul Hijah, 10 A.H. (632 A.D.) in the valley of Mount Arafat . The contents of the message were collected from different narrations, and there are other parts to it that are not mentioned here. This sermon still needs the authenticity of all of its parts to be checked. "O People, lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether, after this year, I shall ever be amongst you again. Therefore, listen to what I am saying to you very carefully and take these words to those who could not be present today. O People, just as you regard this month, this day, this city as sacred, so regard the life and property of every Muslim as a sacred trust. Return the goods entrusted to you to their rightful owners. Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you. Remember that you will indeed meet your Lord, and that He will indeed reckon your deeds. Allah has forbidden you to take interest, therefore, all interest obligations shall henceforth be waived. Your capital, however, is yours to keep. You will neither inflict nor suffer inequity. Allah has judged that there shall be no interest and that all interest due to Abbas bin Abdul-Muttalib (the prophet's uncle) shall henceforth be waived. Every right arising out of homicide in pre-Islamic days is henceforth waived and the first such right I waive is that arising from the murder of Rabiyah bin Al-Harith (relative of the prophet). O Men, the unbelievers indulge in tampering with the calendar in order to make permissible that which Allah forbade, and to forbid that which Allah had made permissible. With Allah the months are twelve; four of them are holy; three of these are successive and one occurs singly between the months of Jumadah and Shaaban. Beware of Satan, for the safety of your religion. He has lost all hope that he will ever be able to lead you astray in big things, so beware of following him in small things. O People, it is true that you have certain right with regard to your women, but they also have rights over you. If they abide by your right then to them belongs the right to be fed and clothed in kindness. Do treat your women well and be kind to them for they are your partners and committed helpers. And it is your right that they do not make friends with any one of whom you do not approve, as well as never commit adultery. O People, listen to me in earnest, worship Allah, say your five daily prayers, fast during the month of Ramadhan, and give your wealth in zakat. Perform Hajj if you can afford to. All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black, nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is the brother of another Muslim, and that Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not, therefore, do injustice to your selves. Remember, one day you will appear before Allah and answer for your deeds. So beware, do not stray from the path of righteousness after I am gone. O People, no prophet or apostle will come after me and no new faith will be born. Reason well, therefore, O People, and understand my words which I convey to you. I leave behind me two things, the Quran and my example, the Sunnah, and if you follow these you will never go astray. All those who listen to me shall pass on my words to others, and those to others again; and may the last ones understand my words better that those who listen to me directly. Be my witness O Allah, that I have conveyed Your message to Your people." Alahumma infa`ni bima `allamtani wa `allamni ma yanfa`uni! OH ALLAH! Make useful for me what You taught me and teach me knowledge that will be useful to me! (Aameen) Guiding one soul to knowledge and faith is a momentous achievement. It is what will earn us great blessings... (Insha Allah) Please keep forwarding this "Hadith" to all ... Because the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: "Pass on knowledge from me even if it is only one Verse".

February 2009 at 9:37am When there is only a
single star left in the sky. At that very moment, the path of forgiveness will
close. The writing in the
Quran will vanish. The sun will lower itself with the earth. Prophet Muhammad
(saw) said, 'Who ever delivers this news to someone else, I will on the Day of
Judgment make for him a place in Janna.'
thanks alot for the The Prophet's Last Sermon , i was looking for it , because it is very nice , it is the summery for Islam ur rights, ur duties as well it can help to be massege for the humanity Say: Lo! my worship and my sacrifice and my living and my dying are for Allah, Lord of the Worlds. (162) He hath no partner. This am I commanded, and I am first of those who surrender (unto Him). A Handy Plan to Behave in the Same Way as the Prophet
(PBUH) did If you are a person who really love the Prophet (PBUH) then you should have his qualities : 1-Avoid lewdness which is every bad speech or action. 2-Don't speak loudly and lower your voice mainly in public places such as streets, mosques, parties… etc., except if being a lecturer or advisor or being an Imam in a mosque. 3-Repel evil someone cause to you with that which is best. Forgive him and do not punish him or desert him. 4-Don't reproach or insult your servant or your colleague or your son or your student or your wife because of a mistake or an uncompleted job. 5-Do your duties very well and do not diminish others' rights in order to prevent them from reprimanding you. 6-Don't be laughing all the time and let your laugh be a nice smile. 7-Be always ready to help the weak, the indigent and the women without arrogance. 8-Helping your family in doing some of the house work even if it's something easy. 9-Wear the best of your clothes mainly for praying, on the celebration days (Aďd) . 10-Don't be prideful to eat on the ground, eat what is given to you, be satisfied with few of food and don't criticize badly what you eat. 11-Joining workers and helping them in their work ( as helping in carrying dust or digging…etc.) as a sign of humility and making the workers feel others’ sympathy and respect towards them. 12-Don't accept exaggerated praise from someone, but some words of thank that are equal to the work done. 13-Avoid saying bad or aggressive statements even if you are joking. 14-Don't say something evil and don't commit it. 15-Don't attack your brothers evilly. 16-Speak in a correct way and let your words be nice and not hurting. 17-Decrease your jocks and don't say anything but the truth. 18-Be merciful to human beings and to animals so that Allah the Almighty keeps his mercy upon you. 19-Avoid avarice because it's repelled from Allah the Almighty and people. 20-Sleep early and wake up early starting your day with worshiping Allah, hard work and diligence. 21-Don't miss the prayers in group in the mosque. 22-Be aware of angriness and its bad results. If you become angry you should say: « Audhu Billahi Mina Shaytan ar-Rajim’, which means, ‘I seek refuge from Satan, the devil » 23-Be aware that every single word you say is recorded ; try to be as quiet as possible. 24-When you recite the Quran you have to understand what you are reading and you should feel the verses. It's also recommended that you listen to the Holy Quran recited by others. The most important thing you have to do, is to make the Quran your way of life which means to apply every single word practically. 25-Don't reject ''permissible'' perfumes offered to you and use them especially when you pray. 26-Use the siwak (miswak : stick of arak for cleaning teeth) mainly before prayers because it's very beneficial. 27-Be courageous and say the truth even if it's against you. 28-Accept advice from anyone and never refuse it. 29-Treat your family with just, and be just in every single work you do. 30-Forgive the one who hurts you, and be patient so that Allah the Almighty forgives you. 31-You should love for the others what you love for yourself. 32-Don't forget to greet when entering and leaving your house and when you enter shops. 33-Use always the Islamic greeting form : « Assalamu Alaykom wa Rahmato Allah wa Barakatoh » which means :” Peace, blessing and mercy of Allah be upon you” and don't change it with Good morning, Good night, Hi or welcome but you can say that after the first one. 34-Pay attention to your clothes, appearance and personal cleanness. 35-Colour your grey hair in yellow or red and avoid the black colour as the Prophet ordered (PBUH). 36-Follow the Prophet’s teachings so that you will become one of those mentioned in this Hadith: The Prophet (PBUH) said : « There will be after you (talking to his companions) days of patience. In those days, the one who try so hard to be like you, (in following the Prophet‘s path) gets the reward of 50 persons from you » 37-May Allah guide us to practise his book and the tradition of His Prophet (PBUH) and may Allah guide us to love His Prophet (PBUH) and to merit his intercession in the Day of Judgement. _____________________________________________ Those paragraphs are taken from the book « Al 'ilm wal 'olama » of « Abu Bakr Aljazairi » the teacher in 'Al Medina Al munawara'
Say: Lo! my worship and my sacrifice and my living and my dying are for Allah, Lord of the Worlds. (162) He hath no partner. This am I commanded, and I am first of those who surrender (unto Him). This short clip shows one command from prophet Muhammed (PBUH) to his disciple to built a Masjed ( worshiping bulding in Islam ) he gave a specific direction . after using google earth we can see the
direction which has been given to that disciple direct to Cabba directly After 14 centuries from the event of the Messenger (pbuh)
mosque building order in Sana'a, جوجل الارض يثبت ان محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم هو نبي الله Asalaam Alaikum! Thank you for posting our Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) last sermon. A lot of misconceptions about him and Islam can be cleared up just by the last sermon alone. Peace!
"There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad (pbuh) is Allah's final messenger!" The Prophet’s Way of Applying Love
To apply love between couples you need to be an inventor, a creative woman like Lady Aisha. Lady Safiea (May Allah be pleased with her) asked Aisha one day to try to let the Prophet excuse her because he was angry with her because of some matter and she will give Aisha her day. Lady Aisha wore a long saffron colored veil after and spread water on it to make it smell well. She went to the Prophet and sat beside him but he said: "Aisha, go now it is not your day." She said: "It's the favor of Alla being given to whom he want" and she told him the story.
A woman asked Lady Aisha about henna. She replied:” My beloved (PBUH) loved its color and hated its smell.” Notice how she used the love language in describing the Prophet’s opinion. From the Prophet’s side, he has also his ways in applying love. Lady Aisha was asked about the first thing the Prophet was making when entering his home. She replied: he was using siwak (arak stick for tooth cleaning).Narrated by Muslim Some scholars said that the Prophet did that to kiss his wives when arriving home. Al Bukhary narrated :”Lady Aisha said that she was perfuming her husband; his head and beard. She was also combing the Prophet's hair even if she was menstruating." Now some of men don't beautify themselves for their wives besides the bad smell of smoking persons. Some don't care for their bodies and armpits smell, clothes, hairs and nails. They neglect embellishments towards their women. Women have rights to see and smell all good from their husbands. Follow the Prophet’s example in that matter and you will see how these things increases love between husbands and wives. Ibn Abbas said that he was beautifying himself for his wife because it is her right to see him in his best conditions as he likes the same from her. The Almighty Allah said: ". And they (women) have rights (over their husbands) similar (to those of their husbands) over them to what is reasonable "(Al Bakara:228) Another example : A women came to Omar Ibn Elkhatab and asked him to divorce her from her husband. When the Khaliefa saw him he knew the reason of his wife’s hatered towards him. So he ordered him to have a bath, adjust his nails, his hair and his clothes. His wife didn't recognize him at the beginning, then she knew him and yielded the idea of divorce because she became very happy with this great change. Yahia Ibn Abdelrahman Alhandhaly mentioned that he saw Muhammad Ibn Alhanafia in a red wrap and his beard was dropping some scents from it. When he asked him about that, he answered him that it is for the sake of his wife who likes to see him like that, the same way he likes to see her in. Learn the ways of increasing love between you and your wife…Follow the example of the Prophet and his companions May Allah be pleased with them… Apply what you like to see from your wife upon yourself to strengthen all love relationships and live a happy live… http://www.rasoulallah.net/subject_en.asp?hit=1&lang=ar&parent_id=5&sub_id=241 Say: Lo! my worship and my sacrifice and my living and my dying are for Allah, Lord of the Worlds. (162) He hath no partner. This am I commanded, and I am first of those who surrender (unto Him). Do You Know him? All Nations and Countries are proud of their great people and heroes and depend on them in writing their History and building their Glories. We didn’t hear, read or know someone greater than our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in what he offered to his Nation and to all Mankind. Muhammad has given the greatest qualities by the Almighty Allah… He is justice: Who said:” If Fatima- my daughter – did steal, I would cut her hand.” He is modest: Who said to a woman who was awed by him:”Calm down; I’m just the son of a woman from Quraish who used to eat dried Bread.” He is the worshiper: Who used to pray till he get swelled legs and cracked feet; so that his wife Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) told him:” Oh Messenger of Allah, why are you doing that to yourself since Allah overlooked all your past and future faults? The Prophet replied:” That’s why I like to be a thankful worshiper.” The Prophet is also described as being so generous with no fear of poverty Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said:” Muhammad never refused helping anyone for the sake of Islam. He gave a man a drove of sheep so that the man went back to his tribe saying:” Follow Muhammad who is so generous and doesn’t fear poverty.”
“He also gave Safwan bin Umaiah in the Day of Hunain 100’s of cattle.” Narrated by Muslim Who is as generous as him (PBUH)? Who can give such gifts except him (PBUH). Even the rich never give such gifts, and if they do, because they are rich, but Muhammad gives and may spend days hungry! Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: “Muhammad was very generous especially in the holy month of Ramadan (the fasting month).” “The Prophet once received 70 thousand Dirham and started to give all needy till all the money finished.” Narrated by Abu Al Sheikh He is the brave Leader who stands in the front lines in all Battles Al Baraa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:” We were protecting ourselves behind the Prophet when the Battles were very strong and the bravest among us was fighting side by side with him (PBUH).” Narrated by Muslim And Ali (May Allah by pleased with him) reported:” When the Battles were overpowered, we were protecting ourselves behind the Prophet.” Narrated by Ahmad, and many other scholars. *Notice that Al Baraa’ (the reporter of the 1st Hadith) is a very brave man, where as Ali (the reporter of the 2ed Hadith) is so much famous in his bravery and courage. See how the bravest of men were not as brave as Muhammad (PBUH). A man told Al Baraa’:” how could you leave the Prophet in the Day of Hunain?” Al Baraa’ replied “But the Prophet did not.” Agreed upon. Al Baraa’ also said:” The Prophet was the best, the bravest and the most generous among all.” He was gentle and patient with those hurting him (PBUH). When he conquered Makkah he forgave his folk who hurt and insulted him for years. Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: “A man came to the Prophet and spoke to him in a very bad way saying:” Oh Muhammad, give me some of Allah’s gifts you have.” The Prophet looked at him and smiled, then he ordered giving him the money he needed.” Agreed upon
Muhammad is the one having all great qualities and generous merits. Allah describes him in his Holy Quran: ”for the believers he is full of pity, kind and merciful.” (9/128)
Al Hassan Al Basri said commenting on a verse in the Holy Quran:”It was by the mercy of Allah that you were lenient with them “(3/159), he commented:” This is Muhammad’s morals, mentioned by the Almighty Allah.” Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said in describing the Prophet:” He was the most generous among men, the most delighted, the most honest in speech, very lenient, the best in companionship, respected by anyone seeing him, loved by anyone knowing him and the one describing him must say” I never saw and wont see anybody like him.” Narrated by Al Tirmithi, Abi Shaiba and Al Baihaki This is just a drop out of a sea full of great qualities of the Prophet…. This is a reminder to everyone reading… These are Muhammad’s Morals….So where are the real lovers and real followers? Allah’s Peace and Blessings be upon him. Say: Lo! my worship and my sacrifice and my living and my dying are for Allah, Lord of the Worlds. (162) He hath no partner. This am I commanded, and I am first of those who surrender (unto Him). http://www.whyislam.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24704 |
