Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH)

 There was a bazaar in Madinah, the heat was so intense that people were getting tired.  A merchant stood beside himself, anxious for a slave.  The slave, who was still a child, was also standing in the sun, sweating profusely.  All the merchant's goods were sold at good prices, except for the slave, whom no one was interested in buying.  The merchant thought that by buying this slave he might have made a loss.  He thought that he would get a good profit, but here it was becoming difficult to get the actual cost.  He thought that if he sold the slave at the full price, he would sell it immediately.  When a girl from Madinah saw this slave, she asked the merchant how much he would sell the slave for.  The merchant said, "I have taken so much and I will give only that much."  The girl took pity on the child and bought it.  The merchant also thanked God and made his way back.  When Abu Hudhaifah came to Madinah from Makkah, he too...

 Allah SWT has said in the Noble Quran: Ye have indeed in the Apostle of Allah a beautiful pattern of (conduct) for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the Final Day and who engages much in the praise of Allah. (Al-Ahzab) Seerah is a tool and methology for us to understand our beloved Prophet's (صلى الله عليه وسلم) noble charecter. Here are a couple of examples to show how important knowing the Seerah is and how can it impact the way we think and interpret the things around us. Amr ibn al Aas (Raa), was one of the staunchest enemies of the prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم), one of the top plotters against Islam who accepted Islam and became a noble companion. When he was crying on his death bed, his son told him: O my father didn’t Rasool Allah SAW give you the glad tidings about this and that.

He was badly wounded and blood flowed into his shoes. Muhammad (PBUH) made dua for the people in Ta’if that Allah makes them and their children Muslims.

The companions of Muhammad were very furious at the man and wanted to punish him. Muhammad (PBUH), however, asked them to be patient and took that man to His house. He offered to give him some more money. Bedouin witnessed that Muhammad (PBUH), being the leader of Muslims, was not like other tribal rulers and was living a life of simplicity without any luxury. After seeing this, Bedouin understood and became happy with what he got.  Then, Muhammad (PBUH) asked, “You said a harsh word yesterday, which caused anger in my companions. I fear that they will hurt you. Would you be willing to show your appreciation in front of them, so that their...
