Our beloved Prophet Mohammad PBUH was well known for his outstanding qualities.
He was very kind and merciful since his childhood. He was a brave and a humble
person
These great qualities in his personality made him stood out amoung all humanity
Here in this presentation we will learn about 5 of his qualities
Kindness:
The Prophet Muhammad taught love, kindness and compassion to his people, and was
seen to be the most loving,
kind, and compassionate of all of them. The Quran mentions:
"O Messenger of Allah! It is a great Mercy of God that you are gentle and kind
towards them;
for, had you been harsh and hard-hearted, they would all have broken away from you"
(Quran 3:159).
Prophet Muhammad exemplified God's attributes of kindness, extending it to all
beings, both animate and inanimate,
and benefiting them without measure. The Prophet said: "One of the finest acts of
kindness is for a
man to treat his fathers' friends in a kindly way after he has departed" (Abu
dawud, 5123)
Trustworthiness:
Muhammad, an orphan at birth, became a respected and well-known figure due to his
honest and fair dealings.
He was known as As-Sadiq (Truthful) and Al-Amin (Trustworthy) by all Makkans,
regardless of wealth or status.
When the chiefs of the Quraysh discussed him, An-Nadar ibn al-Harith, the most
experienced, argued that Muhammad
was the most liked, honest, and faithful among them. He argued that Quraysh had not
found any plan to face the calamity
that had fallen upon them, and that Muhammad was none of these things. He believed
that a new calamity had fallen
upon them, and Muhammad's message proved him to be none of these things.
Forgiveness:
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was a compassionate and merciful figure who exhibited
kindness
and compassion towards the people of Mecca, the birthplace of Islam. Despite facing
persecution
and hostility, he forgave his enemies and reconciled with them upon his return. He
was a vocal advocate2
for women's rights, He never attempted to retaliate against the insult and
disrespect of anybody, and forgave
people's mistakes or misconduct. Hazrat Abu Hurairah reported,"The Holy Prophet was
asked to curse the infidels.
He said,'I have not been sent to curse people but as a mercy to mankind." (Mishkat)
He also taught his followers
to treat animals with respect and kindness, a teaching that serves as a guide for
Muslims to strive to be the best
versions of themselves.
Humility:
Prophet Muhammad was a humble and compassionate figure who urged his followers to
live kindly and humbly,
releasing slaves and giving charity to the poor and orphans without expecting
rewards.
His teachings focused on simple living and contentment, emphasizing that favors
conferred
by Allah should not be overlooked. His wife, `A’ishah, described him as an ordinary
man who lived like an ordinary man,
doing tasks like sweeping, sewing clothes, and helping servants. His recorded words
and actions showcase his
gentleness, kindness, humility, good humor, and excellent common sense. He was
modest without pride
and his speech was eloquent without prolonging it.
Generosity
Muhammad was a generous and generous man who always gave away gifts to others,
always feeling more
pleasure than those who received them. He prioritized the needy over his own needs
and gave more gifts in
return for them. Muhammad was a distributor and treasurer, believing Allah was the
Bestower of everything.
He gave away his herd of goats to a man who requested help, and later told his
people to accept Islam.
He also promised help later on if he had nothing. Muhammad often bought items for
himself and gave them
back as gifts, demonstrating his generosity and generosity.
