HI!! AS SALAMU ALAIKUM (PEACE BE UPON TO U )
The key that brings reverence and respect to Prophet Muhammad ( PBUH ) in both the Islamic and non-Islamic circles is His character. He was the best in character and He also said about in one of His hadiths in the following way
* GOD HAS SENT ME TO PERFECT GOOD MANNERS AND DO GOOD DEEDS ( Bukhari )*
I'll let you know about his character shortly is you want further explanation pls let me know
1. All for the sake of ALLAH
*THE PROPHET ( PBUH ) RESEMBLED A PROPHET WHO WAS HARMED BY HIS PEOPLE. HE WIPED THE BLOOD FROM HIS FACE AND SAID“OH GOD! FORGIVE MY PEOPLE, FOR THEY NOT KNOW”* ( Bukhari )
2. Mannerism
* THE PROPHET ( PBUH ) DID NOT SWEAR AT ANYONE NOR WAS HE RUDE, NOR DID HE CURSE ANYONE. IF HE DESIRED TO REPRIMAND SOMEONE, HE WOULD SAY “ WHATS WRONG WITH HIM, MAY DUST BE CAST IN HIS FACE”*
3. Humor
* ONCE A MAN ASKED MUHAMMED ( PBUH ) FOR AN ANIMAL TO RIDE. HE REPLIED THAT HE WOULD GIVE HIM THE BABY OF A SHE- CAMEL TO RIDE ON. THE MAN ASKED “WHAT WOULD HE DO WITH A SHE-CAMEL BABY?? PROPHET MUHAMMAD ( PBUH ) REPLIED IS THERE ANY CAMEL WHICH IS NOT BORN OF A SHE-CAMEL?”*
4.peace lover
*LET US GO TO RESOLVE THE SITUATION AND MAKE PEACE BETWEEN THEM* ( Bukhari )
5. Kind to the kids
Prophet ( PBUH) always treated the kids with kindness and mercy. He always enjoys their company and played with them to make them happy. One such example can be seen from His life when he used to say, kids
* I’LL GIVE SUCH AND SUCH ( EX: GIFT OR SO ) TO THE ONE WHO COMES TO ME FIRST”
SO THEY USED TO RACE AND FALL ON HIS BACK AND CHEST *
6. Generosity
* THE PROPHET ( PBUH ) DID NOT REFUSE TO GIVE ANYTHING WHICH HE HAD TO SOMEONE IF HE ASKED FOR IT*
7. Caring of a woman
Another allegation against Islam is that it's a religion that oppresses a woman, therefore, being the bringer of the religion, Muhammad ( PBUH ) is also attributed to woman oppressing attributes. The perception is also wrong because the Prophet ( PHUB ) was very caring for the rights of the women and commanded His followers to give special treatment to a woman by giving them respect and equal rights they ought to have. In one of his hadiths He said:
* WHOEVER ( BRINGS UP ) TWO GIRLS TILL THEY COME OF AGE WILL BE IN THE NEXT WORLD ALONG WITH ME, LIKE MY TWO FINGERS JOINING TOGETHER *
if he were an oppressor of woman, he could have simply mentioned male orphan children, however, he gave preference to raising female children, this shows the care He had for woman and their rights
There's much more to say about the Prophet peace be upon him he is one of the greatest ever been lived on this planet no doubts about that. Not only as a Muslimah, but as a human being that I would love to let you know that he's a great Role model to anyone and everyone
small note that I'm not a scholar... I'm just a practicing Muslimah so I have let you know the things I've learned and learning. If you've any doubts on the things I've said make sure to let me know
