Assalammualaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim
Remember the Malay saying: 'Tak kenal maka tak cinta'. That is exactly what is happening between us and our beloved prophet s.a.w. As we are the last ummah, where we are tested with the fact that the prophet s.a.w is not with us. Sometimes it is very difficult for us to feel what the prophet s.a.w feel during his time, the ordeal that he s.a.w had to go through and the pain, sadness, anguish, worry that the prophet s.a.w feel. Hence, our responsibility is to learn about him, read his sirah, know his background, his characteristics and himself, as a father, a teacher, a nephew, a neighbour, an imam and as a husband. MashaAllah.

My Teacher - My Father
Subhanallah walhamdulillah lailaha ilAllah. Masha Allah. I want to share a lot about my beloved, my teacher and my father - Muhammad s.a.w. Masha Allah. Tabarakallah.
Muneeb al-Azdi, a companion of the prophet s.a.w said:
I saw the Messenger of God in the era of ignorance saying to the people: "Say, there is no God worthy of being worshipped except Allah, and you would be successful." There were those who spat in his face, those who threw soil in his face, and those who swore to him until midday. When (once) a certain young girl [Fatima az-zahra] came with a big container of water, he (s.a.w) washed his face and hands calmly and say: "O' daughter, do not fear your father will be humiliated or struck by poverty"
[Mu'jan al-Kabeer]
This is the level of patience that our prophet has. Subhanallah and he s.a.w is not even complaining. What about us? Have we ever started to spread the word of islam and face this type of ordeal? Masha Allah. If we had been mocked, jeered and even betrayed, the prophet s.a.w had gone through all of these and even worse. Yet, he still persevere. The reason: Ummati, Ummati, Ummati (My Ummah). He loved us more than a mother love her child. Subhanallah. Ya Rasul, ya habibi.
Umar ibn al-Khattab said:
"I entered the messenger's (s.a.w) house and I found him sitting on a mat. He had a leather pillow stuffed with fibres. He had a pot of water by his feet, and there were some clothes that hung from the wall. His side had marks due to the mat that he lay on. Umar wept when he saw this, and the messenger (s.a.w) asked him: 'Why do you weep?' Umar said: 'O' Prophet of God, Khosrau and Caesar enjoy the best of this world, and you are suffering in poverty?!' He said: 'Aren't you pleased that they enjoy this world, and we will enjoy the hereafter?'"
[HR al-Bukhari]
This is the level of his zuhud. The world is in his hand where it is not that important him nor does the world and its mortal beauty blinds him. The prophet aims for the akhirah - the joy and life in the hereafter. Subhanallah.
Actually, there are more that I wanted to share with you on our beloved prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) but for the time being, Allah only provide me with this amount of time & energy for this few characteristics. Insya Allah. There are more to come. Pray for me & for yourself & for every muslim in this whole wide world. Jazakumullahu khayran kathira.
wallahua'lam
segala puji hanya bagi Allah, Tuhan sekalian alam
