The beautiful character of Rasulullah SAW
WE SAY WE LOVE OUR PROPHET MUHAMMAD,SO WHY DON’T WE TRY TO ACT THE WAY HE ACT AS WELL. INDEED HE IS OUR ROLE MODEL, THE PERFECT ONE! COME ON~LET US TOGETHER PRACTISE!!
What is the meaning of morals? The word ‘morals’ covers every good act. It is birr (righteousness). The prophet [pbuh] said, “Birr is good morals.” It is not one aspect of human ethics, but is all inclusive of man's behaviour with man and man's behaviour towards his Creator.
That is why, when someone once asked `Aishah about the manners and morals of the Prophet [pbuh], she said:"His morals were the Qur’an". The Prophet Muhammad [pbuh] had a perfectly balanced personality. He was eloquent, patient, truthful, just, merciful, kind, tolerant and magnanimous. He presented the highest example of human nobility.
He was noble with his family. He said, “The best amongst you is the one who is best to his family and I am the best to my family.” He used to serve himself and help his wives with their housework. ‘Aishah said that he used to repair his shoes, sew or mend his clothes and do what ordinary men did in their houses. After all, he was a human being like others. He used to check his clothes for insects. Milking sheep and catering for himself were his normal activities. In another narration,she said, "He used to serve his family, then, when the time for prayer came, he would go out to pray."
He was kind and merciful to young children. He often showed his affection to Hasan and Husain. He would hasten the prayer if he heard a child crying. He used to greet and kiss children. Abu Hurayrah said: "The Messenger of Allah kissed al-Hasan Ibn Ali, and al-Aqra Ibn Haabis while at-Tamimi was sitting with him. Al- Aqra' said: 'I have ten children and I have never kissed any of them.' The Messenger of Allah looked at him and said: 'The one who does not show mercy will not be shown mercy.’”
The Prophet [pbuh] was just and fair with Muslims and non-Muslims alike. He said: “You are sons of Adam and Adam came from dust. Let the people cease to boast about their ancestry. These genealogies of yours are no reason to revile anyone. You are all children of Adam. No one has any superiority over another except in religion and taqwa (godliness).” In his final sermon, the Prophet [pbuh] called on Muslims in the following terms: “There is no superiority for an Arab over a non-Arab, for a non-Arab over an Arab, for a white over a black or for a black over a white, except in piety.Verily the noblest amongst you is he who is the most pious.”
The Prophet [pbuh] was noted for his eloquent Arabic. He was an accurate, unpretending, straightforward speaker. He was familiar with the dialects of every tribe. He spoke with his hosts in their own dialects.
His stamina, endurance and forgiveness were all attributes Allah Himself had bestowed upon him. Even wise men have their flaws, but, unlike others, the more the Messenger of Allah [pbuh] was hurt or injured, the more clement and patient he became. ‘Aishah said: “The Messenger of Allah [pbuh], whenever given the opportunityto choose between two affairs, always chose the easier or the more convenient. But if he deemed it sinful, he distanced himself from it. He never avenged himself; but when the sanctity of Allah was violated, he would avenge for Allah’s cause, not for himself.”
He was the last one to get angry and the first to be satisfied. His hospitality and generosity were matchless. His gifts and endowments manifested a man who did not fear poverty." [Al-Bukhari] Ibn‘Abbas said:"The Prophet was the most generous.” Jabir said: “The Prophet [pbuh] would never refuse anything he was asked.” [Al-Bukhari]
He was the most modest and the first to cast his eyes down. Abu Sa‘îd Al-Khudri said: "He was shier than a virgin in her boudoir. When he hated something, we read it on his face.” [Al-Bukhari] He did not stare anybody in the face. He would never identify a person about whom he had heard bad news — which he hated. Instead, he would ask: “Why do certain people do so?”
The Prophet [pbuh] was the most just, the most decent, the most truthful in speech, and the most honest of all.Those who spoke to him, even his enemies, acknowledged his noble qualities. He was most modest and, far from being arrogant or proud, he forbade people to stand up at his presence as people usually do for their kings. He also said in theHadith, ‘Arrogance is to reject the truth.’
Visiting the poor and entertaining them were among his habits. If a slave invited him, he would accept the invitation. He always sat amongst his friends as if he were an ordinary person. The Prophet [pbuh] was most true to his pledges and it was one of his qualities to establish good and steady relationships with his relatives — ‘Silat-Ar-Rahim’. He was most merciful, gentle and amiable to all people.His way of living was the simplest one.
MasyaAllah! what a perfect character he is. come on friends! let us try to show our love the our Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) by applying all these cool characters in him into ourselves and may Allah leads the way~~ and now, let us ease our ears by listening to this :
