Prophet Muhammad (Sallallay wa aalay wa sallam) a mercy to the worlds. www.dawahmemo.com

Rasulullah (SAW) mended his own clothes Rasulullah (SAW) mended his own clothes. Never asking his wives to do it. He milked the goats himself for family use or to sell. Whenever he came home and did not see food ready to eat, he folded up his sleeves to help his wife cook.

Sayidatina 'Aisyah relates: ”If Nabi ’s home he’ll always help in the household chores If he hears Azan, he quickly got ready to go to the mosque and will return as soon as the prayer is completed.

Once he came back early in the morning. He must be hungry at that time. But he saw nothing for breakfast There was no uncooked food either as Aisha has not gone to market So Nabi asked “Is there any breakfast O Khumaira?" (Khumaira is a loving name given to Sayidatina 'Aisyah which means ‘ one who is reddish.)

Aisyah ,feeling guilty, replied ,, “Nothing yet O Rasulullah." Rasulullah then said, ”If that’s the case, Ill just fast today." Without a sign of disappointment on his face.

”The best man is one who’s best and gentle to his wife." Rasuluulah ever said, ”The best man is one who’s best and gentle to his wife." He must exhibit care, patience and love as the head of the family.

Once Rasulullah (SAW) became the Imam in a prayer. His companions noticed that his movements from one action to another was with dififulcty. They even heard sounds as if the joints in his noble body is rubbing against each other. As soon as Salat was completed: Sayidina Umar who could not bear see him in that condition asked him”

O Rasulullah, we see as if you are suffering from a terrible condition, are you sick O Rasulullah?" ”No, O Umar. Alhamdulillah, I am healthy and fresh" ”O Rasulullah... why is it every time you move your body we hear as if your joints are rubbing against each other? We are sure you are sick Umar insisted anxiously.

Finally Rasulullah lifted his shirt. The companions were shocked. His stomach was flat, they saw it tied with a cloth filled with pebbles, to control his hunger. The stones were the ones making the sounds whenever he moved. O Rasulullah, is it that if you tell us that you are hungry and have no food, we will not get it for you, Sir?

The prophet replied gently, ”No O my companions. I know, you all will sacrifice anything for your Rasul. But what will I say in front of Allah, I as a leader, is a burden to my people? ”Let this hunger be a reward from Allah for me, so that my people will not experience hunger in this world, more so in the next world.

Once, Rasulullah (SAW), without feeling awkward, eat beside a poor, dirty man infected with skin disease. He patiently and quietly endured when a Bedoun harshly tugged at his shirt until there was red marks on his neck. And with humility, he cleaned the spot where the Bedioun urinated in the mosque before gently criticising his actions.

While the doors of paradise are open widely for him, His great love for Allah (SWT) and his servitude to Him rejects any sense of mastership So much so that this gift from Allah is not a reason for him to feel grander than others, whether in public or alone. While the doors of paradise are open widely for him,

he still stood up in the stillness of night continuously worshipping, until once, he fell due to swollen legs His physical body could not withstand his great spiritual desire.

When Sayidatina 'Aisyah asked, "O Rasulullah, haven’t you been guaranteed Paradise ? Then why do you still go through this difficulty? He repiled lovingly, ”O 'Aisyah, am I not a servant? Indeed I wish to be His grateful servant."

That’s our beloved prophet, a man unmatched by any Described by Allah as ”insaan e kaamil’ (the perfect man) How lucky we are to have him as our leader. Let’s benefit from the great treasure that he was sent down with. May Allah give us the strength, courage and piety to follow his footsteps. Ameen Rasulullah s. a. w. said, ”Pass on my reminder, even if it’s a sentence”. (Jkt: ak.24.2.05)
