A Day in the House of the Messenger of Allaah Prophet Muhammad

A DAY IN THE HOUSE OF THE MESSENGER OF ALLAAH PROPHET MUHAMMAD

From the book: Most people today either exaggerate or are negligent in their love for the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam.

They exaggerate until they reach the degree of Shirk (polytheism) by supplicating him, seeking his refuge, and so on.

 On the other hand, we find that some people neglect the guidance of the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, and do not take him as his role model.

These few words are introduced with the aim of simplifying the biography and life of the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, so that the ordinary people may know him better. These few pages introduce excerpts and glimpses of the attributes of the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, and his virtues.

All the attributes and virtues of the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, are not mentioned here, but we have focused on the aspects that are absent from people’s life sufficing with two or three relevant Hadeeths (narrations) on each topic.

The life of the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is a model for the entire Ummah (Muslim nation) and the optimal method of living.

The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, was comprehensive example in his worship, obedience to Allaah The Almighty, noble morals, gentleness, and high status. It is enough to remember that Allaah the Almighty describes him Saying (what means): {And indeed, you are of a great moral character.} [Quran 68:4]

’Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaa‘ah (the people of tradition and community) revere the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, and respect him as we are commanded by Allaah The Almighty. They believe that the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is the Slave of Allaah The Almighty, His Messenger and intimate friend.

They love him more than their children, parents and even themselves, yet they avoid exaggeration in praising him.

We, Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaa‘ah, follow this moderate methodology; hence, we do not commit any religious innovation such as the celebrating the Mawlid (birth anniversary). Rather, we love him as he commanded us to do, obey his orders and avoid his prohibitions.

If we have missed out on seeing our beloved Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, in this world, then we supplicate Allaah The Almighty to make us among those about whom the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said:

“I wish to see my brothers.” The Companions, may Allaah be pleased with them, said, “O Messenger of Allaah! Are not we your brothers?” He said: “You are my Companions, but my brothers are those who have not yet come (into the world).” They said, “O Messenger of Allaah! How will you recognize those of your Ummah who have not yet been born?” He said: “Say, if a man has white-footed horses with white foreheads among horses which are pure black, will he not recognize his own horses?”

They said, “Certainly, O Messenger of Allaah!” He said: “They (my followers) will come with bright faces and white limbs because of ablution; and I will arrive at the Hawdh (Basin) ahead of them.” [Muslim]

I supplicate Allaah The Almighty to make us among those who follow the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, and learn his Sunnah (tradition). I also ask Allaah The Almighty to join us with the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, in Paradise and to reward him in the best way.
