    He must be called the Saviour of Humanity. I believe that

    if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the

    modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems in

    a way that would bring it much needed peace andhappiness

    He was the only man in history who wassupremely successful on both the secular

    and religious level. It is this unparalleled

    combination of secular and religious

    influence which I feel entitlesMuhammad to be considered the most

    influential single figure in human

    The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is introduced in the Quran in these

    words:

    But those who believe and do righteous good deeds, and believe in that which is

    sent down to Muhammad (SAW) for it is the truth from their Lord, He will

    expiate from them their sins, and will make good their state.

    (Surah Muhammad 47:2)

    Verily, there has come unto you a Messenger (Muhammad SAW) from amongst yourselves

    (i.e. whom you know well). It grieves him that you should receive any injury or difficulty. He

    (Muhammad SAW) is anxious over you (to be rightly guided, to repent to Allh, and beg Him

    to pardon and forgive your sins, in order that you may enter Paradise and be saved from the

    punishment of the Hell-fire), for the believers (he SAW is) full ofpity, kind, and merciful.

    Love of the Sahaba for Muhammad (SAW)

    Their love for the Prophet meant that even after he died, they sought guidance in

    his Sunnah.

    Most did not remain in Madina but spread out to the far corners of the earth to

    spread the message of the Prophet .

    Till their departure from this world, they served the cause of Islam in whatever

    capacity they could, as generals or ordinary soldiers, as caliphs or advisors, as

    scribes preserving and compiling the Quran and hadith, as students and teachers ofknowledge, as victors and martyrs.

    They could not tolerate even the slightest deviation or opposition to the Sunnah of

    the Messenger [pbuh].

    Urwa bin Zubair [ra] transmits that Abu Bakr [ra] stated,"I cannotleave a thing which was acted upon by the Messenger of Allah

    because I fear that if I leave anything from the deeds and the

    sayings of the Messenger of Allah, I will go astray."[Bukhari and Muslim]

    After the martyrdom of the 7th Ansari in Uhud, two Quraishis were

    left guarding the Prophet (pbuh): Talha bin Ubaidullah and Sad bin

    Abi Waqas. These two Sahabas bravely fought the Quraish and used

    their own bodies as shields to protect Allahs Messenger (pbuh).

    Such was their love for him.

    Narrated Qais: I saw Talha's paralyzed hand with which he had

    protected the Prophet on the day of Uhud. [Bukhari 59:392]

    The Prophet [pbuh] was left with Talha bin Ubaidullah and Sad bin

    Abi Waqas for only a few seconds before other Sahabas arrived toshield him.

    Abu Dujanah [ra+ made himself a shield for Allahs Messenger

    [pbuh]. Arrows kept on striking his back yet he continued to bend

    over Allahs Messenger *saw+ *to protect him+ and in the end manyarrows pierced his back. [Seerat ibn Hisham]

    When Allahs Messenger *pbuh] announced the preparation for the

    Battle of Tabuk and called for charities and donations, the Muslims

    raced to spend for the sake of Allah.

    Uthman, for instance, who had prepared two hundred saddledcamels to travel to Ash-Sham, presented them all with two hundred

    ounces (of gold) as charity. He also fetched a thousand dinars and

    cast them all into the lap of the Messenger of Allah, who turned

    them over and said: "From this day on nothing will harm Uthman

    regardless of what he does." [Jami' At-Tirmidhi 2/211]Again and again Uthman gave till his charity reached nine hundred

    camels and a hundred horses, besides the money he paid.

    (And the foremost to embrace Islam of the Muhajirin and the Ansar and also those

    who followed them exactly (in faith). Allah is well-pleased with them as they are

    well-pleased with Him. He has prepared for them Gardens under which rivers flow

    (Paradise), to dwell therein forever. That is the supreme success.)

    Al-Taubah

    The following Ayah from Al-Taubah (9:100) highlights the importance of Sahaba

    (companions)

    The blessed Sahabah - companions of Rasulallah (saw) were chosen by Allah, to beour role models, especially in matters of following our Deen. They are the first and

    most blessed generation of Islam. The beloved Prophet (saw) needed to be

    accompanied by a JamaatCongregation who would have certain qualities and

    abilities.

    There were certain expressions of love that the Prophet explicitly disapproved of:

    He did not like that people should rise for him when he arrived.

    Narrated Abu Umamah: The prophet[SAW] came out to us leaning on a stick. We stood up to

    show respect to him. He said: Do not stand up as foreigners do, for showing respect to one

    another. [Dawud :: Book 41 : Hadith 5211] Similarly he discouraged poetry that bordered on Shirk.

    Narrated Ar-Rabi': (d/o Muawwidh bin Afra) After the consummation of my marriage, the

    Prophet came and sat on my bed as far from me as you are sitting now, and our little girls

    started beating the tambourines and reciting elegiac verses mourning my father who had been

    killed in the battle of Badr. One of them said, "Among us is a Prophet who knows what will

    happen tomorrow." On that the Prophet said, "Leave this [saying] and keep on saying theverses which you had been saying before." [Bukhari ]

    He disliked excessive and exaggerated praise.

    Narrated 'Umar: I heard the Prophet saying, "Do not exaggerate in praising me as the

    Christians praised the son of Mary, for I am only a slave. So, call me the slave of Allah and His

    Apostle." [Bukhari]

    He strongly condemned making his grave a place of worship or other deviant practices.'A'isha and Abdullah reported: As the prophet (SAW) was about to breathe his last, he drew

    his sheet upon his face and when he felt uneasy, he uncovered his face and said in that very

    state: Let there be curse upon the Jews and the Christians that they have taken the graves of

    their apostles as places of worship. He in fact warned (his men) against what they (the Jews

    and the Christians) did. [Muslim]

    "Those who follow the apostle, the unlettered Prophet, whom they

    find mentioned in their own (Scriptures),- in the law and the Gospel;-

    for he commands them what is just and forbids them what is evil; he

    allows them as lawful what is good (and pure) and prohibits them

    from what is bad (and impure); He releases them from their heavyburdens and from the yokes that are upon them. So it is those who

    believe in him, honor him, help him, and follow the light which is sent

    down with him,- it is they who will prosper."

    [Surah Al-Araf 7:157]

    (Al-E-Imran 3:31)

    Say (O Prophet): If you really love Allah, then follow me, and Allah shall love you

    and forgive you your sins...

    Verily, those who give Bai'h (pledge) to you (O Muhammad SAW) they are giving

    Bai'h (pledge) to Allh. The Hand of Allh is over their hands. Then whosoever

    breaks his pledge, breaks it only to his own harm, and whosoever fulfils what he

    has covenanted with Allh, He will bestow on him a great reward.

    The 12th of Rabi-ul-Awwal : To Celebrate or not to Celebrate...

    What do we know about celebrating Eid Milad un Nabi?

    1. Quran: Nothing

    2. Sunnah: Nothing3. Sahabah: Nothing

    4. Four Imams: Nothing

    The Prophet (SAW) said: The best of mankind are my generation,

    then those who come after them, then those who come after them.

    (Bukhari, Muslim and al-Tirmidhi).

    The celebration of the Prophets birthday appeared many centuries later.Think about it!Can it be possible that the Sahaabah, the Imaams and the people of the best threecenturies were unaware of the importance of celebrating the birthday of the Prophet or thatthey were lacking in their love for him?And it was only those who came later who were aware of it or loved him more?!!! How can

    that be?!!

    The best way to express love for the Prophet(SAW) is to follow his Sunnah and send

    peace and blessings upon him.

    Regarding this, Allah says in the Holy Quran:

    Indeed, Allah confers blessing upon the Prophet, and His angels *ask Him to do so+.

    O you who have believed, ask [Allah to confer] blessing upon him and ask [Allah togrant him+ peace. (Al-Ahzab, 33:56)

    'Abdurrahman bin 'Aufrelates that the prophet(SAW) went out once and he followed him

    until he entered a grove of palm trees and prostrated.

    His prostration was so long that 'Abdurrahman feared that Allah had taken his soul.

    'Abdurrahman came to look at him and he raised his head and said:

    "What is wrong, Abdurrahman?"

    Abdurrahman mentioned what had happened, and the Prophet (SAW) said:

    "Gabriel came to me and said: 'Shall I not give you glad tidings? Allah says to you,

    Whoever sends blessings upon you, I confer blessings upon him. Whoever sends salutations

    to you, I send peace on him.

    Therefore, I prostrated to Allah in thanks.

    It was narrated by Abdullah bin

    Masud that the Messenger of Allah

    (SAW)) said:

    Some angels appointed by Allah go

    around on earth, and convey to me

    the salutations (salam) sent by my

    ummah. (Sunan Nasai)

    Narrated Abu Huraira,The Prophet(SAW) said:

    If any one of you greets me, Allah

    returns my soul to me and I respond

    to the greeting (Sunan Abu Dawud)

    O Allah! Send Your mercy on Muhammad (s.a.w) and on the family of

    Muhammad (s.a.w), as You sent Your mercy on Abraham and on the familyof Abraham, for You are the Most Praise-worthy, the Most Glorious. O Allah!

    Send Your blessings on Muhammad (s.a.w) and the family of Muhammad

    (s.a.w), as You sent your blessings on Abraham and on the family of

    Abraham, for You are the Most Praise-worthy, the Most Glorious.
