The Message of Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam)

 Emphasizing mercy and affection

 

Those people who in the days of ignorance didn’t have even an ounce of mercy were exhorted by the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) towards mercy and love, as mentioned in this Hadith of Jame’ Tirmidhi:

 

Translation: It is narrated on the authority of Hadhrat ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr (May Allah be well pleased with them) that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said:  The Lord Almighty is benevolent on those who deal with others with mercy.  Be merciful to the dwellers of the earth and the Lord of all worlds will be merciful with you.  (Jame’ Tirmidhi, Hadith No. 2049; Sunan Abu Dawood, 4943)

 

It is highly necessary that the true teachings of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) should be presented to the world.  It is imperative that each and every aspect of the system which the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) brought should be presented before the world.  We should make the non-Muslims aware of each and every clause of the divine law which the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) granted us.

 

This is such a logical and practical system that each aspect of it has its own attractiveness.  This is such a flexible law that if anyone reflects over it with a free unprejudiced mind, that person will not resist accepting it.  Each clause and each phrase of it induces humankind to accept the truth.  These are those pure teachings whose each facet is pure.  These are those illuminating teachings which put humankind on the right path and bring them close to the Lord Almighty.

 

In short, true solace and tranquility can be gained only by implementing this system.  Guidance can be gained only by acting upon these teachings.  Acting upon these teachings brings solace and deliverance and leads to success.  In this law, there is no place for oppression or discrimination.  There is no leeway for rudeness or indecency.

 

This is the law of peace.  These are the teachings of morality and these guidelines are the pure ones.

 

May Allah guide us to act upon these teachings and to lead our

lives according to them.  May He grant us the blessings of the

arrival of His Beloved Prophet and illuminate our hearts and souls

with His radiance.
