Answer 3

do not listen to the people who say bad things about Muhamed

I swear by Allah[1] that if all the good manners were embodied in one person, that person would definitely be the Prophet (SAWS[2]). That is why Allah (SWT) describes him by saying, what can be translated as, "And verily, you are on an exalted standard of character" (TMQ[3], 4:68).



Allah (SWT) did not simply reveal, “You are on a good standard of character.” Exaltedness, as the Ayah implies, is a higher degree, more transcendent and profound.  We may have good manners, but no one but the Prophet (SAWS) could be of such an exalted character; no one but him can reach this extreme level of exaltedness. We are commanded to display good manners, but the Prophet (SAWS) was ‘something else’; he enjoyed peerless attributes of perfection.



What is so great about the Prophet's (SAWS) manners?



There is no human being under the sun that practiced what they preached as well as the Prophet did.  If you would like to know how someone really is, then ask his/her family. Façades can impress strangers, but they cut no ice with his parents or wife. Yet, look at what the Prophet's family (SAWS) said about him. In answer to a question addressed to Lady Aisha about the manners of the Prophet (SAWS), she said, "His character complied with the Qur'an."



No one is perfect. We can describe someone as being extremely honest, but it is impossible for one person to posses all the good qualities we know of. Yet, the only one whose qualities were all perfect was our Prophet (SAWS). We notice that when Allah (SWT) praises any of His Apostles, He praises each of them for a certain trait. For instance, Allah says, what can be translated as:



"And mention in the Qur'an Isma’il. Verily! He was true to what he promised, and he was a Messenger (and) a Prophet" (TMQ,  54:19).

"And mention in the Qur'an Musa. Verily! He was chosen and he was a Messenger (and) a Prophet" (TMQ, 51:19).

"And of Ibrahim who conveyed all what Allah ordered him to do or convey" (TMQ, 37:53).



The only individual to whom Allah (SWT) has ascribed perfection is our Prophet Muhammad (SAWS). Allah says what can be translated as "And verily, you are on an exalted standard of character" (TMQ, 4:68).



And "And verily, you (O Muhammad) are indeed guiding (mankind) to the Straight Path (i.e. Allah's religion of Islamic Monotheism) ". (TMQ, 52:42).



The following is an overview of each attribute in which the Prophet (SAWS) has exhibited perfection.



Honesty



If we look at someone's face, is it possible for us, as human beings, to know whether that person is honest or not?  Of course not! Yet, do you know that some people embraced Islam simply because they viewed the Prophet's face (SAWS)?



A man named Abdullah Ibn Salaam, who was a former Jew, said, "When I came to see him I kept gazing at his face and I just knew that this person could not be a liar; his face suggested honesty, which was why I believed in him".



We can see now how perfectly honest the Prophet (SAWS) was.



Bravery



Ali (RA), who was one of the most courageous of all men, said, "Allah's Apostle (SAWS) was the bravest of all. Once a fight grew fierce; we resorted to the Prophet (SAWS) for protection.  The fiercest of us were the ones who fought close to the Prophet (SAWS).”  Note that the Prophet (SAWS) was almost 60 years-old at the time, and Ali was only 20.



In the battle of Hunayn, when the Muslim army was defeated at the very beginning, the Prophet (SAWS) stood up and began to call to the Muslims at the top of his voice This action risked his life, for the infidels could have swarmed around him and killed him.



“I’m the prophet, I wouldn’t lie. I’m the son of Abdul-Muttalib!” he said.



Al-Abbas, the Prophet's uncle, said, "I saw Allah's Apostle riding his horse and head towards the infidels. I feared for him and grasped his horse's bridle."  On that day, a sword broke in the Prophet's hand, which is an astonishing account, for Arabs’ swords are never broken, and are usually bequeathed for generations. The Prophet (SAWS) was 61 years old at the time.



Smiling  



They say, "The Prophet was always seen with a smile on his face, and was always cheerful."



Apart from the following situations, the Prophet was always smiling: whenever a revelation descended, whenever he preached to the people, and finally during his battles in Allah's cause.  









Loyalty



The example I shall give of the Prophet's loyalty was his great love for his wife Khadijah. Do you know that the most famous love story in history is that which kindled between the Prophet (SAWS) and Lady Khadijah? It is an honour for us to know that such great stories of true love stemmed from Islam.



Fifteen years after the death of Lady Khadijah (RA), Hala Bint Khuwailid, who was Lady Khadijah’s sister, came to visi

The following is from Michael Hart's book and lists Prophet Muhammad as the most influential man in History. A Citadel Press Book, published by Carol Publishing Group

The 100, a Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History

by Michael H. Hart

My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular levels. Of humble origins, Muhammad founded and promulgated one of the world's great religions, and became an immensely effective political leader. Today, thirteen centuries after his death, his influence is still powerful and pervasive. The majority of the persons in this book had the advantage of being born and raised in centers of civilization, highly cultured or politically pivotal nations. Muhammad, however, was born in the year 570, in the city of Mecca, in southern Arabia, at that time a backward area of the world, far from the centers of trade, art, and learning. Orphaned at age six, he was reared in modest surroundings. Islamic tradition tells us that he was illiterate. His economic position improved when, at age twenty-five, he married a wealthy widow. Nevertheless, as he approached forty, there was little outward indication that he was a remarkable person. Most Arabs at that time were pagans, who believed in many gods. There were, however, in Mecca, a small number of Jews and Christians; it was from them no doubt that Muhammad first learned of a single, omnipotent God who ruled the entire universe. When he was forty years old, Muhammad became convinced that this one true God (Allah) was speaking to him, and had chosen him to spread the true faith. For three years, Muhammad preached only to close friends and associates. Then, about 613, he began preaching in public. As he slowly gained converts, the Meccan authorities came to consider him a dangerous nuisance. In 622, fearing for his safety, Muhammad fled to Medina (a city some 200 miles north of Mecca), where he had been offered a position of considerable political power. This flight, called the Hegira, was the turning point of the Prophet's life. In Mecca, he had had few followers. In Medina, he had many more, and he soon acquired an influence that made him a virtual dictator. During the next few years, while Muhammad's following grew rapidly, a series of battles were fought between Medina and Mecca. This was ended in 630 with Muhammad's triumphant return to Mecca as conqueror. The remaining two and one-half years of his life witnessed the rapid conversion of the Arab tribes to the new religion.

When Muhammad died, in 632, he was the effective ruler of all of southern Arabia. The Bedouin tribesmen of Arabia had a reputation as fierce warriors. But their number was small; and plagued by disunity and internecine warfare, they had been no match for the larger armies of the kingdoms in the settled agricultural areas to the north. However, unified by Muhammad for the first time in history, and inspired by their fervent belief in the one true God, these small Arab armies now embarked upon one of the most astonishing series of conquests in human history. To the northeast of Arabia lay the large Neo-Persian Empire of the Sassanids; to the northwest lay the Byzantine, or Eastern Roman Empire, centered in Constantinople. Numerically, the Arabs were no match for their opponents. On the field of battle, though, the inspired Arabs rapidly conquered all of Mesopotamia, Syria, and Palestine. By 642, Egypt had been wrested from the Byzantine Empire, while the Persian armies had been crushed at the key battles of Qadisiya in 637, and Nehavend in 642. But even these enormous conquests, which were made under the leadership of Muhammad's close friends and immediate successors, Ali, Abu Bakr and 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, did not mark the end of the Arab advance. By 711, the Arab armies had swept completely across North Africa to the Atlantic Ocean There they turned north and, crossing the Strait of Gibraltar, overwhelmed the Visigothic kingdom in Spain.

For a while, it must have seemed that the Moslems would overwhelm all of Christian Europe. However, in 732, at the famous Battle of Tours, a Moslem army, which had advanced into the center of France, was at last
