The Prophet of Mercy Website

Mercy toward His Enemies
The Prophet (Peace and blessings of Allah upon him) was a mercy for all humanity. Allah(Almighty) described him as such, saying:
"And We did not send you [O Muhammad] but as a mercy to the worlds." (21:107)
And the Prophet (Peace and blessings of Allah upon him) himself said, "Indeed, I was sent as a mercy." (Muslim)

 His Mercy Toward Animals and Immobile Things
We have mentioned that the prophetic mercy included not only the monotheistic Muslim but the disbeliever as well. Here we may add that the Prophet's (Peace and blessings of Allah upon him) mercy went beyond humanity to include animals and even inanimate things. He (Peace and blessings of Allah upon him) said,

The Prophet's Mercy towards Children

The Prophet's Mercy towards Servants and Slaves

The Prophet (Peace and blessings of Allah upon him) was unequalled in his generosity, liberality, open-handedness and leniency. His generosity was comprehensive and included all levels of giving, the highest of which is to offer one's life in the cause of Allah(Almighty). He gave himself in fighting against the enemies of Allah(Almighty) and he was closest to the enemy during battle; only the bravest soldiers would stand beside him.

After praising, and thanking Allah (the One God) he said:

"Oh People, lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether, after this year
I shall ever be amongst you again. Therefore listen to what I am saying to you
very carefully and TAKE THESE WORDS TO THOSE WHO COULD NOT BE PRESENT HERE TODAY.

O People, just as you regard this month, this day as Sacred, so regard
the life and property of every Muslim as sacred trust. Return the goods

Muslims have always been encouraged to learn and recite some of the invocations that were taught or spoken by the Messenger of Allah, not only because his words are concise, comprehensive and linguistically eloquent, but because obviously, he was the one most knowledgeable about how the Creator of the universe should be addressed.

  Head of state, teacher and advisor - He became the head of an emerging state surrounded on all sides by enemies. He established political ties with the various factions among the local inhabitants and drew up a constitution. He received delegations and sent messages. He knew that man has a responsibility to develop the earth and civilize it, and was a perfect example of balance and moderation. He developed a well-disciplined nation out of chaotic tribalism and provided peace in place of war.

 Allah, the Exalted, stated clearly in the Qur'an that this world, along with the present universe, will one day come to an end in order to make way for the new creation in which balance and justice prevail. Its final era began with the prophethood of Muhammad and will close at the Hour of Resurrection. There will be no divine scripture after the Qur'an and no prophet after Muhammad. He once observed, "I and the Final Hour are like these two," and held up his index and middle fingers.[1]

The devout worshipper - His greatest pleasure was in prayer, for that is when a believer is closest to his Lord. He would stand in prayer at night so long that his feet would swell, and would weep until his beard was wet. He used to fast often, usually on specific days of the week and month. He was constantly aware of his Lord, remembering Him in every situation and fearing His displeasure.
