Prophet Muhammad the Ideal Character of Human Being

pic Today wiz in all five persons of the land believes Muhammad (pbuh) as the last courier of Allah (pbuh) and millions of others ar continue to defy affidavit to this fact.. Yaqeen ul Haq Ahmad Sikander writes. Ever since dawn of the civilization, mankind has witnessed the emergence of a boastfully number of neat sight who did significant contributions in their respective field and immortalized their names forever. Their contributions, which they left behind, have been accountable for moulding the intellect of the people into the fashion of their teachings.The Teachings of Buddha, Jesus, Confucius, Ashoka, Aristotle, Plato, etc even today have an avid influence upon the lives of well(p) deal globally. But among all these great people, only Muhammad (pbuh) possessed the most howling(a) and determined personality. Across the centuries Across the centuries millions and billions of people have lived their lives loving Muhammad (pbuh) and quest his principles and guideline s in e very sphere of life. No one other than Muhammad (pbuh) in the history has been so a great deal adored and followed.Today one in every five persons of the world believes Muhammad (pbuh) as the last messenger of Allah (pbuh) and millions of others argon continuing to bear testimony to this fact. He was the one who brought has billions of people from darkness of ignorance to light. He brought peace and set of ideals to myriad hearts and lives. He is the inspiration for countless people over the globe. Even today Muhammad (pbuh) motivates and induces full-page masses to get through to shape their lives according to his teachings.Indeed never before in the history has anyone influenced mankind up to such(prenominal) extent as Muhammad (pbuh) did even beyond his finale. Thats why Quran rightly tells Muhammad (pbuh) to proclaim that He is the kindness for all nations which intelligibly depicts the universality of his mission. The Quran mentions And We sent you non (O Muh ammad), but as a benignity to all the worlds. (Al Quran 21107). Among all the great emerged lives, only Muhammad (pbuh) was most influential and made and both Religious and Secular levels and this made Michael. H.Hart, an American Mathematician, historian and an Astronomer to put Him on the No. 1 in the cargonen of the top degree centigrade men which he quoted in his world-famous book The cytosine. And the Argument that he puts forth for it is as follows Since there are or so twice the latest estimate is that there are more than one thousand million Muslims in the world and one thousand ii hundred million Christians as many an(prenominal) Christians in the world, it may ab initio seem strange that Muhammad has been ranked higher than Jesus. There are two principal reasons for that decision.First, Muhammad played a far more important parting in the development of Islam than Jesus did in the development of Christianity. Although Jesus was responsible for the main ethical a nd example precepts of Christianity (in so far as these differed from Judaism), St. capital of Minnesota was the main developer of Christian theology, its principal proselytizer, and the author of a large section of the New Testament. Muhammad, however, was responsible for both the theology of Islam and its main ethical and moral principles. In addition, he played the key role in proselytizing the new-fangled faith and in establishing the religious practices of Islam. Michael H. Hart in his book THE 100? pages 38-39) illusionist Muhammad (pbuh) the only answer In the records of Maulana Wahiduddin Khan, Humankind needfully a set of moral principles having universal validity as head as a real personality in which these moral principles are exemplified. The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is the only answer to this question. He proclaimed the ethics that bear the stamp of divine authenticity, and is, moreover, a model of perfect conduct and feature for all mankind. In bodily appeara nce he lived in this world, but, spiritually, he was on a different plane.It was the exemplary life of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and his empyreal teachings that even made the non-Muslims bear testimony to the greatness of Muhammad (pbuh). or so of the verdicts of Non-Muslims on Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) that I have compiled from various sources are He must be called the Savior of humanity I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would pull round in solving its problems in a way that would bring it much needed peace and happiness. (The Genuine Islam, Singapore, Vol. 1, No. X 1936). Mohammed was the most successful of all religious personalities. (Encyclopedia Britannica, 11th edition). Muhummad was the soul of kindness, and his influence was tangle and never forgotten by those around him. (Diwan Chand Sharma, The Prophets of the East, Calcutta 1935, p. 122). Four years after the death of Justinian, A. D. 569, was born at Makkah, in Ar abia the man who, of all men exercised the great influence upon the human race Mohammed (John William Draper, A history of the lntellectual development of europium,- London 1875). By a fortune absolutely unique in history, Mohammed is a threefold founder of a nation, of an empire, and of a religion. (R. Bosworth-Smith, Mohammed and Mohammedanism- 1946). So the Quran rightly says to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) that, And have We not raised high the esteem in which) thou (O Muhammad are held) (Al Quran 944). Exemplary Character Muhammad (pbuh)s extension was indeed exemplary for whole of the humankind. Before his death, the whole of the Arabian Peninsula was already under the rule of Islam.He could have easily led a very luxurious life in High palaces and could have enjoyed every pleasance of life and this world. But instead of this, he led a very simple and austere life and created a best example for the generations to come. He utilise to do his work himself. It is narrated in various Hadith the Muhammad (pbuh) used to milk his goat, m peculiarity his c coveyhes, do household work and repair his tog and visited the sick. All his companions loved him excessively but he forbade them to even get up for him as a sign of respect. He brought a real revolution to the whole humanity and it was the transformation of the hearts.His companions who loved him more than anything else, were erstwhile his most staunch enemies but his gilded character transformed them to such an extent that they even gave up their lives for the sake of Islam. Muhammad (pbuh) brought masses from darkness to light. He was from a rich family that enjoyed highest status in Arabia but because of Islam, he suffered from lash persecutions and painful torture and sufferings. On a certain occasion, his uncle Abu Talib requested him to chequer the preach of Islam and for that he was offered the highest status of a chief and a lot of material wealth.But to this Muhammad (pbuh) gave a very sin cere answer. he replied, I put forward by the name of God, O Uncle , that if they place the sun in my rightfield and the moon in my left-hand in return for giving up this matter (calling people to Islam), I will never desist until each God makes it triumph or I perish defending it (Ibn Hesham). such was the determination of Muhammad (pbuh). And the Quran again describing the character of Muhammad (pbuh) says that, And most certainly thou (O Muhammad) are of most sublime and exalted character (Al Quran 684).It was the tolerance and sublime character of Muhammad (pbuh) that brought huge masses into the fold of Islam and the books of Seerah (Life Of Muhammad) are full of such incidents. On the fall of Makkah to the Muslims, the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) forgave even his most staunch enemies including Wahshi who on the battle on Uhud had killed the beloved uncle and cousin of Muhammad (pbuh) namely Hamza and seeing this howling(prenominal) behaviour of Muhammad (pbuh), Wahshi accepte d Islam and became one of the Sahabees (The Companions of Prophet Muhammad).There are so many other cases found in the books of Tafseer (exegesis) and Seerah (Life Of Muhammad) wherein Muhammad (pbuh) by his sublime character won the hearts of many including Abu Bakr (RA) and Abdullah bin Salaam (RA) and many others that are considered to be the most eminent Sahabees (The Companions of Prophet Muhammad). Peaceful Preaching It was the nonviolent preaching of Muhammad (pbuh) that invaded the hearts of the millions and is still continuing to do so. It was only by the peaceful preaching of Islam that it spread to all the nooks and corners of the world.And even now Islam is the fastest growth religion of the west particularly in USA and UK where many great personalities and intellectuals like Shaykh Yusuf Estes, Hamza Yusuf, Gary Miller, Dr Bilal Philips and Yusuf Islam have accepted Islam and are spreading its peaceful put across globally and yet this is fulfilling an some other pr ophecy of the Quran It is He (Allah) who has sent his messenger (Muhammad) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islam), that he may make it entertain over all religions, and enough is God for a witness (Al Quran 4828).Some of the sublime sayings of the Muhammad (pbuh) are as followsThe believers, in their love, mercy, and kindness to one another are like a body if any part of it is ill, the whole body shares its sleeplessness and fever. (Bukhari & Muslim) The most perfect of the believers in faith are the best of them in morals. And the best among them are those who are best to their wives. (Tirmidhi & Ahmad) no(prenominal) of you believes (completely) until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself. (Bukhari & Muslim) The merciful are shown mercy by the All-Merciful. Show mercy to those on earth, and God will show mercy to you. Tirmidhi & Abu Dawud) Smiling at your brother is charity (Tirmidhi) A good word is charity. (Bukhari & Muslim) Whoever believes in God and th e Last Day (the Day of Judgment) should do good to his neighbor. (Bukhari & Muslim) God does not judge you according to your appearance and your wealth, but He looks at your hearts and looks into your deeds. (Sahih Muslim) Pay the worker his wage before his confinement dries. (Ibn Majah) A man walking along a path felt very thirsty. Reaching a well, he descended into it, drank his fill, and came up. Then he apothegm a dog with its tongue hanging out, trying to lick up mud to quench its thirst.The man said This dog is feeling the similar thirst that I felt. So he went down into the well again, fill up his shoe with water, and gave the dog a drink. So, God thanked him and forgave his sins. The Prophet was asked Messenger of God, are we rewarded for kindness towards animals? He said There is a reward for kindness to every living animal or human. (Bukhari & Muslim) So to conclude, Muhammad (pbuh) was bestowed by Allah with the most exemplary character. The nature of Muhammad (pbuh )s teachings is universal and is directed for all generations and times.Muhammad (pbuh) was not just a leader or statesman, but he was and he still is, the best role model for the one who seeks guidance on the path of the Lord. It is in his teachings that one can find solution to the ongoing spiritual turmoil and find an innovative solution to the problems challenging the mankind. And it is in him that every nation and generation can find its last intrust and its his teachings that can bring a revival to this world and dispense with it from the disasters of hatred, bloodshed, racism and anarchy. The path that was enlightened by Muhammad (pbuh) will guide us to the eternal path of salvation and finally Jannah.Our deviated youth only by following the teaching of Muhammad (pbuh) can excel in all fields. The west has realized this fact and thats why they are turning to Islam as its the only solution to all the problems confronting the humanity. If only our society would be framed and based upon the ideals and morals taught by Muhammad (pbuh), then it would bring an end to all our problems and then this world will really become a place to live in. The Quran mentions Most certainly, you have in Messenger of Allah an gauzy pattern (of behaviour) (Al Quran 3321).
