Hazrat Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa-Sallam) said, 

"Whoever says (upon leaving his house):

It will be said to him: 'You are guided, defended and protected.' 

The devil will go far away from him".

Like the birds

Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem

Rasulullah (Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) said: 

“If you place your trust completely in Allah Ta‘ala, as it ought to be, 

then surely you will be provided sustenance in the manner that birds are provided sustenance. They leave in the morning with their belly empty and 

return in the evening with their belly full.”

[Tirmidhi]

Book | His Character was the Qur`aan

Bismihi Ta'ala

Sayyidah Ayeshah (RA), the wife of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi wasallam), 

was once asked:

"What was the character of the Prophet?"

She replied:

“His character was the Qur’aan.”

(Sahih Muslim)

EXTRACT : JUSTICE

"When Zulm and injustice had reached its height and had crossed all limits; when there was no question of justice, and nobody to teach people justice, Nabi (Sallallaahu  'alayhi wasallam) came and taught mankind what justice is.

And not only did Nabi (Sallallaahu 'alayhi wasallam) teach justice and fairness, he displayed it.

…Look at the number of incidents in the life of Nabi (Sallallaahu 'alayhi wasallam) where his justice, fair dealing, honesty, integrity and nobleness governed the community of the Sahabah (RA) …SubhanAllah. Where once reigned exploitation and corruption, justice finally arrived, justice conquered, justice took its seat, and justice ruled – with the blessings of Nubuwwah.

Let us just appreciate the perfect and beautiful justice which Nabi (Sallallaahu 'alayhi wasallam) imbibed in his companions, by reflecting over a few incidents...."

The Dignity of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu 'alayhi wasallam)

Bismihi Ta’ala

Hazrat Ayesha (RA) reported that : “It was not the nature of Rasulullah (SallAllaahu ‘alayhi wasallam) to talk indecently, nor did he engage himself in the use of obscene language. Nor did he shout and talk in the bazaars (which is against dignity). He did not avenge a bad deed with a bad one, but forgave it, and thereafter did not even mention it.”  

COMMENTARY

§    Some people are by nature, indecent and habituated to telling obscene jokes; some, in order to keep a gathering happy, indulge in indecent conversations. For this reason, Hazrat Ayesha (RA) refuted both.

There is no harm if one goes to the bazaar to fulfil one’s needs, but to go there and shout about is against dignity. One should, in a quiet manner, complete one’s needs and return. This also does not mean that by not shouting in the bazaar, he made a noise at other places. The object is that it is generally found that people make a noise in the bazaars (whilst dealing, etc.). If one is calm in the bazaars, it is apparent that at other places too, one will be calm.

§     The whole history of Rasulullah (SallAllaahu ‘alayhi wasallam) is filled with incidents where he did not avenge a bad deed with a bad one. What type of torments and suffering did he not suffer at the hands of the non-believers? What did he not confront in the Battle of Uhud? When the Sahaba (RA) could not bear these happenings, they requested Rasulullah (SallAllaahu ‘alayhi wasallam) to curse these non-believers. Instead Rasulullah (SallAllaahu ‘alayhi wasallam) made this Dua : “O Allah, grant my nation Hidayah, for they know not.”

Following the Jews and Christians

Bismihi Ta'ala

Rasulullah (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi wasallam) said: “You will certainly follow the actions of those before you in everything (inch by inch) to the extent that if they entered the hole of a lizard, you will follow them”.

The Sahabah (Radhiyallaahu ‘anhum) asked: “O Rasul of Allah (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi wasallam), are you referring to the Jews and the Christians?”

Rasulullah (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi wasallam) replied: “Then who else?”
