Lesson
All those persons, who know history, writers
and compilers of history, give evidence and they are unanimous in their opinion
that Muhammad (SallAllaahu
alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam),
being a mankind, had more knowledge
and wisdom than entire human beings of the world. Whichever opinion was
expressed by Him after observing the circumstances, was the best judgment.
Messenger of
Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) used to escape
from needless and absurd matters. The gaiety used to drip from His Visage. He (SallAllaahu
alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) was cheerful, used to like silence and remain
silent. He used to remember the Creator and Lord of the world. The word “Allah”
did already exist in Arab. But His (God’s) conception in the heart of Muhammad (SallAllaahu
alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) was different from others.
He (SallAllaahu
alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) used to consider that “Allah” is One. He is not
necessitous of any other. He is Knower, Hearer, Viewer and Wise. Muhammad (SallAllaahu
alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) used to remember Him with his tongue quietly
and supplicate for Guidance. He (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam)
was sociable and merry, and used to accept the Right immediately.
In human
rights, all people were equal near to Muhammad (SallAllaahu alayHi wa
AaliHii Wasallam), whether they were relatives or strangers, powerful or
weak, rich or poor. He (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) used to
love the miserable, and did not consider that the insolent were contemptible
due to their poverty.
He (SallAllaahu
alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) was never overawed by the kings or the despotic,
and neither did He fear due to someone’s being vigorous. He (SallAllaahu
alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) used to serve the gentle people and those who
had good habits, and fascinate the hearts of the visitors. He (SallAllaahu
alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) did not use to go back from him who used to
come for meeting until the visitor wish to go away.
He (SallAllaahu
alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) used to ask the circumstances of His visitors and
find out general circumstances of the public from the people. He used to do His
work Himself i.e. milking the cattle Himself, repairing His shoes himself, patching
His clothes Himself, and did not use to consider shame in using repaired shoes
and patched clothes.
It is mentioned
in the Sayings (Ahaadith) that
Messenger of Allah Almighty (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) did
never eat bellyful, even the bread of barley; until departure from this world. At
His home, it never happened that the fire is kindled continuously, even sometimes;
it was set after one month and sometimes after two months.
He used to take
a few dates and water as food for living. Sometimes He (SallAllaahu alayHi
wa AaliHii Wasallam) tied stones on belly due to severity of hunger. He (SallAllaahu
alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) was ready every time to help others, but never
asked anyone to help Him (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam). He used
to treat the people as humanity, whether those were own people or strangers.
Every individual
(superiors and inferiors) used to acknowledge His politeness, trust, honesty
and justice. Why did He have to fight besides having such higher virtues? He (SallAllaahu
alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) was not desirous of authority. He was fond of
giving something to others instead of snatching something from the deserving person.
His (SallAllaahu
alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) manner was sympathy and kindness with every
human being. It is obvious that such generous and affectionate person cannot be
content to molest someone else. Even then; He had to fight but why? He fought
only for the reason that the Infidels of Makkah
were indiscreet and unintelligent.
