                Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)❤️Prophet Muhammad (S۔A۔W):

Who was Prophet Muhammad (PBUH):

Muhammad ibn Abdullah was an Arab religious, social, and political leader and the founder of the world religion of Islam. According to Islamic doctrine, he was a prophet, divinely inspired to preach and confirm the monotheistic teachings of Adam, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and other prophets. 

Muhammad (PBUH) was born at the beginning of Rabi' al-Awwal, or on April 22, 570 AD, according to many historians.

When did He born:

Muhammad (PBUH) is traditionally said to have been born in 570 in Mecca and to have died in 632 in Medina, where he had been forced to emigrate to with his adherents in 622.

Muhammad( PBUH) 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. ... Gradually the people of Mecca turned to polytheism and idolatry.

Where did He Born:

Muhammad, the final Islamic prophet, was born and lived in Mecca for the first 53 years of his life (c. 570–632 CE) until the Hijra. This period of his life is characterized by his proclamation of prophethood.

He was a deeply spiritual man, and often spent time in meditation on Mount Hira. The traditional story of the Qur'an tells how one night in 610 he was meditating in a cave on the mountain when he was visited by the angel Jibreel who ordered him to recite.

Why He was greatest:

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was greatest Because He was the chosen recipient and messenger of the word of God through the divine revelations, Muslims from all walks of life strive to follow his example. After the holy Qur'an, the sayings of the Prophet (hadith) and descriptions of his way of life (sunna) are the most important Muslim texts.

The Life of Muhammad: 

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 earned a reputation as honest and sincere, acquiring the nickname “al-Amin” meaning faithful or trustworthy.

Wives of Muhammad (PBUH):

Muhammad's wives were the women married to the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Muslims use the term "Ummahat-ul-Momineen" meaning "Mothers of the Believers" prominently before or after referring to them as a sign of respect, a term derived from Quran.

Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is the last Messenger of Allah Almighty on which the last sacred book Noble Quran revealed.

Allah Almighty says in Noble Quran about Prophet Muhammad (SAW) in these words: “You are indeed an exalted standard of character and morals“(Quran, 68: 4). So, if we actually want to lead a successful life we should acquire life lessons from Prophet Muhammad (SAW). Allah Almighty sent Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) not only to spread the message of truth but also to show the world the ideal way of living one’s life. Life lessons that we can learn from Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) cover different matters of life, such as business, relationships, faithfulness and living together in tranquility.

Always speak the truth in your life no matter what’s the situation is. Learn to be truthful, honest and sincere. Beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: “The best Jihad is when one speaks a true word in the presence of a cruel ruler.”

We learn to be kind, gentle, patient and tolerant just like Prophet Muhammad (SAW). Spreading useful knowledge is the attribute communicated by the Prophet (SAW) on Muslims.

Do good always even to those who offended you, give charity to the poor and help the needy without expecting any material reward in return just like our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

The Messenger of Allah (SAW) had an excellent, complete and sound intellect. No man has ever had an intellect as complete and perfect as His. So we should follow Him if we want to live a successful and perfect life.

One should think beyond narrow borders. Holy Prophet (SAW) said: “He is not one of us who calls for Tribalism/Nationalism, or who fights for Tribalism, or who dies for Tribalism.” So we should try to think beyond this no one is superior in terms of tribalism.

One should be honest in trading or in business. Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was very honest in conducting trade and in His day to day affairs.

Live simple life with little regard to worldly possessions. Our beloved Prophet (SAW) adopted a simple and modest lifestyle. So we should also try to live a simple life without being so much involved in worldly possessions.

Always wish good for others just like Prophet Muhammad (SAW) did in His life. Muhammad (SAW) said: “A believer wishes for others what he wishes for himself.”

Do not be unfair to others just like Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Messenger of Allah (SAW) warned those who do injustice to others in these words: “Beware of injustice, for injustice will be darkness on the Day of Resurrection.”

Holy Prophet (PBUH) was a man of high spirits and lofty character. One of His sayings is, “Even a smile can be charity.” Muhammad (SAW) was always respectful of the old, caring towards the weak and loving towards the children. We all should behave just like Prophet (PBUH) in our lives.

Treat your neighbors with Kindness. Our beloved Prophet (SAW) said: “Treat your neighbors in a kind and polite manner.”

Do not criticize others. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: “Always remember your own faults before you mention the faults of others.”

In short, Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is the great role model for Muslims in every aspect of life. Quran is the book of guidance and Muhammad (SAW) implemented the teachings of Quran in His life for us so that we can learn from His life. May Allah (SWT) give us the strength to learn and implement His virtues in order to succeed in this life and Hereafter! Ameen...🤲🏻
