4 LESSONS OF LOVE AND MERCY FROM PROPHET MUHAMMED (S. A. W) ғᴀᴛʜɪᴍᴀ ʀᴀᴍsʜᴀ. ᴘ 10 A Prophet muhammed nabi(s)was a mercy to the words and showed enduring love to gods creations. We submit to Allah s.w.t., our Lord and Creator, who is The Most Loving and The Most Merciful. Our faith is guided by His divine attributes such as Al-Rahim - the Most Merciful and Al-Wadud - the Most Loving of which are among His beautiful names. As part of his endearing love for His creations, Allah s.w.t. bestowed us with the love of His beloved messenger, Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. Allah sent us a man from among us who lived with us and showed us the path of attaining eternal love. Prophet Muhammad s.a.w did not only teach us how to love our Creator, but also how to love other creations. He is the light that brightens the darkness, the epitome of mercy, the paragon of virtues. “Indeed in the Messenger of Allah you have an excellent example for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the Last Day and (who) remembers Allah often.” ‫ﻟَﻘَ ْد َﻛﺎ َن ﻟَ ُﻛ ْم ﻓِﻲ َر ُﺳو ِل ﱠ ِ أُ ْﺳ َوةٌ َﺣ َﺳﻧَﺔ ٌ ِﻟ َﻣ ْن َﻛﺎ َن ﯾَ ْر ُﺟو ﱠ َ َوا ْﻟﯾَ ْو َم اﻵ ِﺧ َر َو َذ َﻛ َر ﱠ َ َﻛﺛِﯾرا‬ Ae_³k 112

Today, some of those who claim to be his followers have deviated from the path of love and mercy that was shown by Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. There are those who claim to be following the footsteps of Rasulullah s.a.w. but their actions run contrary to the tenderness shown by Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. They commit atrocities in the name of Allah s.w.t The Most Merciful and in the name of His beloved Messenger. They manifest the faith through the prisms of hate and enmity. This is an erroneous representation and manifestation that we need to challenge. We need to reclaim and rekindle the narrative of love and mercy that our beloved Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. taught us. We need to revive the sunnah through expressing tenderness and mercy, in manifesting our faith. Let us relook at the core teachings and message of love and mercy from Rasulullah s.a.w: Love Trumps Hate Rasulullah s.a.w. taught us that we need to be better in confronting hate, rather than stooping to the same level as those who promote hate. We need to have a bigger heart and be better than those who spread negativity. Allah s.w.t tells us in we need to, “Repel that which is evil with that which is better”. As the embodiment of the Quranic values, our beloved Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. had shown, in many instances, how to rise above hate and enmity. He emphasised that forgiveness is greater than revenge, perseverance is larger than retaliation and love is better than hate. 1 Forgiveness Over Revenge We must have heard many times about the Ta'if incident where the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. chose mercy over retaliation, hope over despair. As part of the Prophetic mission to disseminate His message of submitting to One God, Rasulullah s.a.w. went to Ta'if to call on them to Islam. His message was not only rejected, but he was also humiliated by the people of Ta'if. The children were instructed by their elders to throw stones at the Prophet s.a.w. and he was driven out of the city. Rejected and physically hurt, the Prophet s.a.w confided in God. He recited the following supplication, 2. Seeing the Best in Others The Prophet s.a.w. also taught us that through love and mercy, one can be drawn to the beauty of Islamic faith. Prior to Sayyidina Umar r.a. accepting the message of Islam, he was a powerful adversary that had challenged the Prophetic message. However, the Prophet s.a.w. prayed to Allah s.w.t to soften his heart. In a hadith by Ibn Umar r.a., Rasulullah s.a.w. supplicated, Sayyidina Umar r.a. eventually accepted Islam after he confronted his sister for being a believer. He was in a rage that his sister had abandoned their traditional belief and accepted Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. However, the tenderness of his sister, who did not challenge his confrontation, softened his heart. When he finally read the Quran himself, he received the ray of light from Allah s.w.t and the rest is history. Clearly, through gestures of love and mercy, even the hardest hearts can be softened, just like how hard rocks can be yielded by the continuous flowing of water. At times, we may think that the harder we are, the better it is for us to fight against those who hate us. However, this was not what the Prophet s.a.w. had demonstrated. He showed that love trumps hate. Hate should be challenged with love and mercy, not enmity and violence. The Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu once said, “Whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will Ae_³k 113

overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong. 3. Love for Fellow Humanity One of the teachings of love from Prophet Muhammad s.a.w is for us to love one another. The Prophet s.a.w taught us that what we love for ourselves should also be what we love for others. In a hadith, Rasulullah s.a.w. reminded us of this golden rule, The Prophet s.a.w. taught us that indeed, a society that loves one another and takes care of each other is a society that is strong and cohesive. In a world where there is a proliferation of hate and enmity, as followers of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w, let us re- establish this golden rule as a basis of our relationship with others. 4. Love for Other Creations Beyond doing good to one another, Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. also showed how we should treat other living creatures with love and mercy. He warned against harming the animals. In a hadith, Rasulullah s.a.w. said, “A woman was punished because of a cat which she kept locked up until it died, and she entered Hell because of it, because she did not feed it or give it water when she kept it locked up, neither did she let it eat from the vermin of the earth.” Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. was always gentle with other creations. Even though we regard some animals as impure, Muslims are expected to respect and handle them with love and mercy. For instance, in dealing with dogs, the Prophet s.a.w. did not teach us to hate them. In fact, the Prophet s.a.w. told us about the merits of feeding dogs. How to treate environmental from the lesson of prophet muhammed nab_ (s) Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. emphasised to us that we have a collective duty towards our environment. Rasulullah s.a.w. encouraged us to plant trees as it would benefit other creations. Today, with the threats of climate change and global warming, there is a need for us to treat our environment with love and respect. We should make efforts to prevent wastage, over-reliance on single-use plastic, and make efforts not to pollute our waters and the air. We need to inculcate our love towards the environment and make efforts to protect it from degradation and destruction. Message : Indeed, we need to bring back the teachings of love and mercy of Rasulullah s.a.w. into our lives. In facing the challenges of today's post-modern society, we need to spread the values of love and mercy. The amplification of hate today needs to be challenged by radiating love and mercy to humanity. We seek to build bridges with others and not walls. We need to manifest our faith through the prism of love and mercy. May Allah s.w.t place us among those who will be granted the love of Rasulullah s.a.w. and be among those who will spread his enduring love to humanity. May we among those who spread love and not hate, spread peace and not conflict, spread unity and not division. Ameen.... And Allah knows best. Ae_³k 114

THE HOLY PROPHET ( PBUH ) AND THE SOUR GRAPES Sithara.PP 10-A One day a poor man brought a bunch of grapes to the holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon Him) as a gift. The holy prophet (pbuh) ate one, two, three and then the whole bunch of grapes by himself. He did not offer grapes to anyone present. The poor man who brought those grapes was very pleased and left. One of the companions asked, \"O prophet of allah (peace be upon Him)!How come you ate all the grapes by yourself and did not offer to any one us present? The holy prophet (peace be upon Him) smiled and said, \"I ate all the grapes by myself because the grapes were sour.If would have offered you, you might have made funny faces and that would have hurt the feelings of that poor man.I thought to myself that it's better that I eat all of them cheerfully and please the poor man.I did not want to hurt the feelings of that poor man.\" Such were the manners of this most noble prophet of Allah.

PROPHET MUHAMMED (SAW) Fida Fathima 6A Muhammad was the prophet and founder of Islam. Most of his early life was spent as a merchant. At age 40, he began to have revelations from Allah that became the basis for the Koran and the foundation of Islam. By 630 he had unified most of Arabia under a single religion. As of 2015, there are over 1.8 billion Muslims in the world who profess, “There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is his prophet.” Muhammad was born around 570, AD in Mecca (now in Saudi Arabia). His father died before he was born and he was raised first by his grandfather and then his uncle. He belonged to a poor but respectable family of the Quraysh tribe. The family was active in Meccan politics and trade. Many of the tribes living in the Arabian Peninsula at the time were nomadic, trading goods as they crisscrossed the desert. Most tribes were polytheistic, worshipping their own set of gods. The town of Mecca was an important trading and religious center, home to many temples and worship sites where the devoted prayed to the idols of these gods. The most famous site was the Kaaba (meaning cube in Arabic). It is believed to have been built by Abraham (Ibrahim to Muslims) and his son Ismail. Gradually the people of Mecca turned to polytheism and idolatry. Of all the gods worshipped, it is believed that Allah was considered the greatest and the only one without an idol. In his early teens, Muhammad worked in a camel caravan, following in the footsteps of many people his age, born of meager wealth. Working for his uncle, he gained experience in commercial trade traveling to Syria and eventually from the Mediterranean Sea to the Indian Ocean. In time, Muhammad Ae_³k 117
