Prophet Mohammad ( Peace Be upon Him )

Prophet Mohammad ( pbuh ) is the best example of how a HUMAN should be. 

He was generous. 

He was compassionate. 

He was trust worthy. 

He was honest. 

He was simple. 

He was never selfish. 

And he loved EVERYONE.

Alhamdu lillah ( praise be to Allah ) we are the people of Mohammad ( pbuh )

He taught us a lot of things that we could do in our life and make it worth liveing.  

Allah created us because HE wanted to. Then why should we live a life without Allah, our creators approval ? 

We are eventually going to meet our Lord on the Day of Resurrection after all. Insha Allah. 

So our lifes goal should be to make HIM happy and proud of us.

The Prophet Mohammad ( pbuh ) taught us a lottt like :

# Every person should be treated well no matter how they treat you, even though at times its easier said than done but trying our best wont harm us now, would it? 

After a while the person himslf/herslf will feel ashamed of their actions towards us.

The neighbor of the Prophet Mohammad ( pbuh ) used to throw garbage at him whenever he walked by, he would never say anything to her, not even shout or scream at her. One day while walking out, he realised that the old women didnt come to throw garbage at him, but instead of being happy and glade he became worried. He went to the old ladies house and came to know that she was sick. He greeted her and wished her good health before leaving. The old lady was then ashamed of her treatment towards him. And thereafter she stopped throwing garbage at him. 

( oh the main reason for her throwing garbage at him was that, that she didnt like him spreading the word of Allah around )

# When someone we know gets sick shouldnt we go and wish them with good health ? When i am sick and my friends and relatives come to see me and wish and pray for my good health i feel good.  

Going and seeing a sick friend, relative or neighbor even for 5 mins for the sake of Allah will not only make you feel good about yourself and increase your respect in others eyes but it would also be rewarded by Allah.

The Prophet Mohammad ( pbuh ) used to go and visit the sick. He would say that the distance you cover from where ever you are to the sick persons place, is measured and that much reward you would get.

# A husband has a duty towards his wife. He should look at her with love, care for her and treat her well. He is her PROTECTOR, her PROVIDER, and her COMPANION.  

He should never take ALL THAT ^ for granted.  

Be good with your wife, she is your other half after all. You and your religion is incomplete without her.

The Prophet Mohammad ( pbuh ) had 9 wives. Some scholars say he had 11 wives too but the number is still doubtful.

There were many reasons for him to take more than one bride.  

. He would marry widowed women whom other men, single men wouldnt prefer marrying. 

He would do that because those women didnt have anyone to provide for them.  

HE DIDNT MARRY FOR SEX HE MARRIED TO PROVIDE FOOD AND SHELTER TO THOSE WOMEN WHOSE HUSBANDS HAD DIED. 

His daughters and he himself would look after his previously widowed wives. 

. He married a women who was older than him, he married the daughter of a friend, all this made it clear for us that its allowed in our religion. 

All the things the Prophet did are examples for us. His life is an example for us. 

. On marrying a girl from a different tribe, that entire tribe would convert to islam. And followed the religion well. Those people converted for the sake of it, but they eventually fell in love with Allah and islam.

Anyways back to the topic at hand .. Even though he had more than one wife he treated them well. All were well provided for, well cared and equally loved, 

and i can say that, without any doubt, because if he ever felt, that he couldnt have been JUST with them, then he wouldnt have married them. Because he would have to answer Allah for being unjust towards his wives. 

He used to spend equal amount of time with his wives. If he didnt like what they cooked for him he would just not eat it, simple as that. Unlike todays men who start a HUGE row with their wife if the food they cooked isnt to the their ( the husbands ) likeing.

Wifes are humans too. Even they can make mistakes. Husbands are companions, providers and protectors. Forgive your wife instead of fighting and hitting her, after all even you guys make mistakes dont you?  

Instead of fighting and shouting take it as a good chance to take your wife out for lunch or dinner or whatever.  

Be gentle, be kind.

# Hurting someone is a sin. 

When people talk bad about you even though its true you either pretend that you dont care or you just feel soo bad. It hurts doesnt it ? Its a natural reaction after all !!  

What i cannot understand is that, when we know how it feels to be hurt then why do we hurt others too ?  

No one deserves to be hurt and talked bad about or to be insulted, not even the ones who insulted or talked bad about you first.

'If they respect you, respect them. If they disrespect you, still respect them. Don not allow the actions of others to decrease your good manners because you represent yourself not others' - anonymous

They hurt you, they have no one to answer for that but themselves infront of Allah. 

The Prophet Mohammad ( pbuh ) had a lot of people telling bad stuff about him, insulting him, talking behind his back, only because he started teaching the oneness of Allah.  

But he never said a bad word to them. He never insulted them back. He never back bited about them. You wanna know why ?? Because all those attributes are that of satan, the out cast.  

He has taken time from Allah to ruin us.  

Would you rather wanna be ruined and doomed following satan or follow the Prophet and enjoy an eternity in Heaven ??

( the Prophet was an excellent man. People looked upto him since he was trustworthy and loyal. He never lied and always kept his promise. So when he started spreading the oneness of God Almight Allah, alott of people converted just because they knew that Mohammad ( pbuh ) never lied and because he is a good man. 

When a liar or a bad person preaches something, people dont even give it a second thought. But this case was different. No one, not even a single soul could say anything bad about Mohammed ( pbuh ). Thats how good he was. Masha Allah. 

But some people started getting offended because they saw the Prophet as a threat to the religion of theirs and their forefathers. Thus they started spreading false things about him so that people wont believe him. )

# Duty of a wife is to take care of her husband and to listen to watever he says. And yes its a DUTY. Remember a women is a mother and her children learn many things from her. 

Be an example for your kids. Dont only teach them but also show them how a wife should be.

Listening to all the things your husband says doesnt mean you are weak, it means you are smart ( listening to everything with open eyes not blindly ). Because if you keep him happy he will make sure that he keeps you happy.  

If he asks you to do something that Allah has forbidden or deemed wrong you could reason with him and you could pray to Allah to guide him to the right path.

Show your children how they could lead a happy life with their partner and how thay can be good frnds, neighbors, relatives and humans.  

Be that to not only earn your reward from Allah and to have a happy and satisfied life but also to make your kids life a happy one. Since they learn things looking at their parents, mostly their moms.

The Prophet Mohammad's ( pbuh ) wives are the best examples. They did feel jealous that they had to share there husband but they were pious women. They did soo much for their husband, we should be ashamed that some of us fight with our husbands because he cant afford a nice car or cant afford us new clothes. 

His wives they gave away all their wealth just to see a smile on his face. Literally.

What do people need ?? Two pairs of cloths, one pair of foot wear, food to eat three times a day and a roof over there head. Thats wat people NEED.  

If u have the means you can have more than what you need.  

This wives had all the stuff they NEEDED and they never complained.  

( The Prophet choose to be poor because he said preaching people about islam while being rich is something anybody can do. But it takes strength to preach islam while you are poor. 

Its easy for rich people to do things unlike the poor. 

The rich people would look at the Prophet and say, when he can do such and such a thing while being poor then why cant i ?  

While the poor people would say that he is just like us, then how come we arent doing it too ?  

Another thing, the poor people where amongst the ones to accept islam more quickly then the rest because they saw islam as a very easy religion for them. )

And their kids were the most lucky ones, since both their parents not only taught them but also SHOWED them how to live a happy satisfying and rewarding life. Which their children did follow. And which i hope all of us would be blessed with insha Allah.

Something i wanted to share : 

The Prophet Mohammad ( pbuh ) has said that, ' Smile is a form of charity.' 

So smile at people often. Its the cheapest form of charity. :)
