KINDNESS AND FORGIVENESS OF OUR GREATEST PROPHET MUHAMMAD (S.A.W.W) Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was a very kind and loving person. He treated every one, young and old, with kindness and respect. One old woman made a habit of throwing rubbish on the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) whenever he passed from her house. The Holy Prophet (pbuh) had to pass that house daily on the way to the Mosque. Even when the old woman threw rubbish on him, he would pass silently without showing any anger or annoyance. This was a regular, daily event. One day when the Holy Prophet (pbuh) was passing by the old woman was not there to throw the rub-bish. He (pbuh) stopped and asked the neighbor about her well-being. The neighbor informed the Holy Prophet (pbuh) that the old woman was sick on bed. The Holy Prophet (pbuh) politely asked permission to visit the old woman. When allowed he (pbuh) entered the house, the old woman thought that he had come there to take his revenge when she was unable to defend herself because of sickness. But the Holy Prophet assured her that he had come to her, not to take any revenge, but to see her and to look after her needs, as it was the command of Almighty God that if anyone is sick, a Muslim should visit him and should help him if his help is needed. The old woman was greatly moved by this kindness and love of the Holy Prophet (pbuh). By the example of greatness of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), she understood that he was truly the Prophet of God and Islam was the true religion. She accepted Islam at once.SubhanAllah.. A few days after Abu Talib’s death, when the Prophet was once passing through a lane, a woman emptied her garbage from a window upon his head. He returned home with his head soiled. His young daughter Fatima (pbuh) sat beside him, consoling and washing off the dirt. As things became intolerable in Makkah, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) decided to move to Taif where he thought he would convey the message of Almighty God to the tribe of Thaqeef. Taif was known for its pleasant climate and beautiful scenery. Taif were no different from Makkans. They also worshipped idols But he (pbuh) did not despair, who dedicated his life for Islam by putting himself in danger like no other. As he entered Taif, and proclaimed his prophet hood, people jeered at him. One said: “God did not find anyone else for His message except you?” Another said: “I must be naive or a thief if I believed you to be a prophet.” And so it went on. Then in order to prevent him from preaching Islam, people of Taif set a group of children and vagabonds behind him. They pestered him and threw stones at him. Tired, forsaken and wounded, he sought refuge in a nearby garden. It belonged to Atabah and Shaibah, two wealthy chiefs of Quraish. They were both there when the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) entered and sat under a distant tree. He was alone. Then he raised his face towards heaven and prayed: “O Almighty! I raise unto you my complaint for my weakness, my helplessness, and for the ridicule to which I have been subjected. O Merciful of all the Mercifuls! You are the Master of all oppressed people, You are my God! So to whom would You consign me? To the strangers who would ill-treat me, or to the enemies who have an upper hand over me? If whatever has befallen me is not because of Your wrath, then I fear not. No doubt, the field of Your security and care is wide enough for me. I seek refuge in Your light which illuminates darkness and straightens the affairs of this world and hereafter, that Your displeasure and wrath may not descend upon me. For the sake of Your pleasure, I remain pleased and resigned to my fate. No change in this world occurs without Your Will.” Atabah and Shaibah were watching. They sent for their servant named Adaas and gave him a plate full of grapes. Take this to that man under the tree, they ordered. Adaas was a Christian. He brought the grapes to the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) and bid him eat. As the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) picked a bunch he said: Bismillahir Rahmaanir Rahiim, (In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate). Adaas had never heard this before. He was impressed by it, because the man was invoking mercy and compassion of Allah in spite of his desolate state. Who are you? he asked. I am the Prophet of God. Where do you come from? The servant said: I am Adaas, a Christian. I come from Nainava. Nainava? You come from a place where my brother Yunus bin Matta lived, the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) said. Adaas was surprised to hear the name. What do you know of Yunus bin Mati? Here no one seems to know him. Even in Nainava there were hardly ten people who knew his fathers name. The Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) said: Yes, I know him because just like me, he was a Prophet of God. Adaas fell on his knees before the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh), kissed his hand and embraced Islam. https://facebook/maulabillah/posts/408190945992745:0 https://facebook/maulabillah SubhanAllah…let othrs know…!!!
