The Best Example

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, was known among his people before and after the Risaalah (message) as Al-Ameen (The Trustworthy One). People would choose him to keep their deposits, and place them with him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sought trustworthiness and urged his companions to do so. He told them, “There is no Iman for one who has no trustworthiness, and no Deen for one who holds to no covenant.” The Prophet ﷺ was called Al-Ameen one because he was entrusted with the Words of Allah, His Deen, and His Revelation. He ﷺ was the highest and most sublime example of trustworthiness as he conveyed the Risaalah (message) of his Lord. The Prophet ﷺ carried the trust of Deen, which the heavens and the earth refused to carried and were afraid of. He ﷺ carried it with trustworthiness and did not hesitate to carry it. The Prophet ﷺ was a trustworthy guardian of Islam, raising its Liwaa flag, implementing its Shariah Law, establishing its Shariah rulings, and spreading its Dawah among all people so that Deen would be entirely for Allah, the Most High. He is certainly the role model. Yes, “Indeed in the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, you have the best example.” الرّسولُ الامینُ لقد كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في قومه قبل الرسالة وبعدها مشهورا فيهم بأنه الأمين وكان الناس يختارونه لحفظ ودائعهم فيضعونها عنده وكان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يرغب في الأمانة ويحث أصحابه عليها فقال لهم لا إيمانَ لمن لا أمانةَ له ، ولا دينَ لمن لا عهدَ له له وقد سمي النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بالأمين لأنه المؤتمن على كلام الله ودينه ووحيه وكان المثل الأعلى والأرقى للأمانة في التبليغ عن ربه فقد حمل أمانة الدين التي أبت السماوات والأرض أن يحملنها وأشفقن منها لقد حملها بأمانة ولم يتثاقل من حملها فكان حارسا أمينا للإسلام رافعا لواءه مطبقا شرعه مقيما أحكامه ناشرا دعوته بين جميع الناس ليكون الدين كله لله فكان قدوة حية نعم لقد كان لكم في رسول الله أسوة حسنة

Indeed, Allah ﷻ has sent us to bring forth whomever He ﷻ wills from the worship of servants to the worship of the Lord of servants, and from the narrowness of this world to its spaciousness, and from the injustice of religions to the justice of Islam. With these few words, the Companion of the Prophet ﷺ, Rab’i ibn ‘Amir (ra), told the Persian ruler that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had brought Islam as a savior for all of humanity. It is the method of Prophethood, the comprehensive and complete method of life. He who lives in its shade is happy, enjoying comfort and security. It is the divine method that agrees with the sound nature, convinces the enlightened mind, and fills the heart with continuous tranquility. In that lies the happiness that is attained by obeying Allah ﷻ and His Messenger ﷺ. It is a unique system that regulates the relationship of man with his Lord, his relationship with himself, and his relationship with others, according to the lofty Shariah rulings that came from the Book of Allah ﷻ and the Sunnah of His Messenger ﷺ, suitable for organizing the life of all humanity. This is the method of the Messenger ﷺ, the clear guide for whoever sincerely seeks guidance, and the final risaalah (message) with which Allah ﷻ sent His Messenger ﷺ as a bearer of good tidings and a warner. Allah ﷻ said, “And We have not sent you, O Muhammad, except as a bringer of good tidings and a warner to all mankind.” Yes, there has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the best example. الرّسُولُ المنقذُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ ابْتَعَثَنَا لِنُخْرِجَ مَنْ شَاءَ مِنْ عِبَادَةِ الْعِبَادِ إِلَىٰ عِبَادَةِ رَبِّ الْعِبَادِ وَمِنْ ضِيقِ الدُّنْيَا إِلَىٰ سِعَتِهَا وَمِنْ جَوْرِ الْأَدْيَانِ إِلَىٰ عَدْلِ الْإِسْلَامِ بهذه الكلمات القليلة أخبرت الميذ الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم ربعي ابن عامر لعظيم الفرس أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قد جاء بالإسلام منقذا للبشرية كلها إنه منهج النبوة المنهج الشامل الكامل للحياة يسعد من يعيش في ظلاله وينعم بالراحة والأمان لأنه المنهج الرباني الذي يوافق الفطرة السليمة ويقنع العقل المستنير ويملأ القلب طمأنينة دائمة وفي ذلك تكون السعادة التي تنال بطاعة الله ورسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم هو نظام فريد ينظم علاقة الإنسان بربه وعلاقته بنفسه وعلاقته بغيره بأحكام راقية جاءت من كتاب الله وسنة رسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم لتكون صالحة لتنظيم حياة البشرية كلها هو منهج الرسول الدليل الواضح لمن أراد الهداية بصدق والرسالة الخاتمة التي بعث الله بها رسوله بشيرًا ونذيرًا قال تعالى وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا كَافَّةً لِلنَّاسِ بَشِيرًا وَنَذِيرًا نعم لقد كان لكم في رسول الله أسوة حسنة

The Prophet (saw) said, "The Bani Israeel had their political affairs looked after by the Prophets (as). Whenever a Prophet (as) died, another Prophet succeeded him. There is no Prophet after me." Thus, the mission of the Messenger ﷺ was to look after the affairs of the Ummah, both within the state he ﷺ established, and outside of it, according to the Shariah rulings of Islam. Political manifestations appeared in the life of the Messenger ﷺ, through his many political actions, as he ﷺ laid the foundations of the first political state based on the Islamic aqeedah. He ﷺ built the masjid and made it the headquarters of the head of state in which were held the assembly of ruling, the assembly of judiciary, the majlis of shura (consultation), and the council for managing the affairs of the state were held. Among the most prominent actions of looking after the domestic affairs was that he ﷺ issued a political mithaaaq (charter) that regulated relations between Muslims in Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah. There were brotherhoods between the Muhajireen and the Ansar and other matters. Among the most prominent foreign policies was that he ﷺ regulated international relations from treaties, negotiations, Jihad to spread the Dawah of Islam, political maneuvers, amongst other actions. Thus, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ outlined, for the Muslims and the Islamic Ummah after him, these political guidelines emanating from the Islamic aqeedah for Muslims to follow after him. The noble Companions (ra) persisted upon these guidelines, as did the Taabioon who followed them, and as do those who followed them in goodness until the Day of Judgment. The Muslims continued to carry Islam spiritually and politically because the Islamic aqeedah that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ brought is both a spiritual and political aqeedah. Yes, “Indeed you have in the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the best example.” الرّسولُ السّیاسیُ كانت بنو إسرائيل تسوسهم الأنبياء كلما هلك نبي خلفه نبي وإنه لا نبي بعده وهكذا كانت مهمة الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم رعاية شؤون الأمة داخل الدولة التي أقامها وخارجها بحسب أحكام الإسلام ظهرت التجليات السياسية في حياة الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم بأعماله السياسية الكثيرة حيث أرسى قواعد أول دولة سياسية قائمة على العقيدة الإسلامية فبنى المسجد وجعله مقراً لرئيس الدولة فيه يعقد مجلس الحكم ومجلس القضاء ومجلس الشورى ومجلس إدارة شؤون الدولة وكان من أبرز أعمال رعاية شؤون الداخل أن أصدر صلى الله عليه وسلم ميثاقاً سياسياً ينظم العلاقات بين المسلمين في المدينة المنورة وكانت المؤاخات بين المهاجرين والأنصار وغيرها ومن أبرز السياسات الخارجية أن نظم العلاقات الدولية من معاهدات ومفاوضات وجهاد لنشر دعوة الإسلام ومناورات سياسية وغيرها وهكذا خط رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم للمسلمين ولأمة الإسلام من بعده هذه الخطوط السياسية المنبثقة من العقيدة الإسلامية ليسير عليها المسلمون من بعده وقد سار عليها الصحابة الكرام رضوان الله عليهم وتابعوهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين واستمر المسلمون يحملون الإسلام حملاً روحياً وحملاً سياسياً لأن عقيدة الإسلام التي جاء بها رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عقيدة روحية سياسية نعم لقد كان لكم في رسول الله أسوة حسنة

With his beautiful morals, good treatment, and the lofty Islamic Shariah rulings that regulate the relationship between men and women, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, lived with his pure wives a happy and good life that represents a practical application of the Almighty’s Saying, “And cohabit with spouses in kindness.” The Messenger of ﷺ, set for us the most wonderful and sublime examples in the marital relationship. He was the head of a great family that raised righteous children who were loyal to a righteous and compassionate father. In his seerah, he advised to be good to women, that is, do not be arrogant towards them, do not shout in their faces, do not be stingy, and do not be violent. Have mercy on women, do not burden them beyond their capacity, do not command them to do what they cannot do, do not scold them for what they have not done, and do not neglect their affairs or the affairs of their children. Let your understanding of guardianship be in its correct concept of good leadership, bearing responsibility, care, and affection, not domination and oppression. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, despite his many concerns and great preoccupations in spreading the Dawah, establishing Deen, and governing the state, did not neglect his wives’ rights over him. He was their beloved husband, their intimate companion, their loyal friend, their trustworthy guide, and their advisory companion. He would joke with his wives and tease them, bring joy and happiness to their hearts, listen to their complaints, be patient with them, wipe their tears, and treat them well. He would not hurt them with his tongue, nor hurt their feelings with his words, nor would he detract from them. He would praise them and commend them, and exchange light conversations and beautiful stories with good meanings. He would acknowledge their kindness even after their death. Yes. “Indeed in the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, you have the best example” الرسول الزّوجُ بأخلاقه الجميلة، ومعاملاته الحسنة، وأحكام الإسلام الراقية التي تنظم علاقة الرجل بالمرأة عاش صلى الله عليه وسلم مع أزواجه الطاهرات حياةً سعيدةً طيبة تمثل تطبيقًا عمليًا لقوله تعالى وَعَاشِرْهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ فقد ضرب لنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أرواع وأسمى الأمثلة في العلاقة الزوجية وكان ربَّ أسرةٍ عظيمة، ربَّت أولادًا صالحين يدينون لأبٍ صالحٍ حنون ففي سيرته استوصوا بالنساء خيرًا، أي لا تتكبروا عليهم، ولا تصيحوا في وجوههم، ولا تبخلوا، ولا تعنفوا ارحموا النساء فلا تكلفوهن فوق طاقتهن، ولا تأمرهن بما ليس في استطاعتهن، ولا تنهرهن بما ليس فيهن، ولا تهملوا شأنهن ولا شأن أولادهن وليكن فهمكم للقوامة بمفهومها الصحيح من حسن قيادة وتحمل للمسؤولية ورعاية وعطف وليس تسلطًا وقهرًا فكان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم رغم همومه الكثيرة ومشاغله الكبيرة في نشر الدعوة وإقامة الدين وسياسة الدولة وحرصه على دوام العبادة رغم كل ذلك لم يغفل حق أزواجه عليه فكان لهن الزوج الحبيب والصاحب الأنيس والصديق الوفي والموجه الأمين والجلیس الناصح وكان يمازح أزواجه ويداعبهن ويدخل البهجة والفرح في قلوبهن ويسمع شكواهن وينصت لكلامهن ويحلم ويصبر عليهن ويكفكف دمعهن ويحسن إليهن فلا يؤذيهن بلسانه ولا يجرح مشاعرهن بكلامه ولا ينتقص منهن ويمدحهن ويثني عليهن ويبادلهن السمر بالأحاديث الخفيفة والقصص الجميلة ذات الموعزة الحسنة ويعترف بالجميل لهن حتى بعد وفاتهن نعم لقد كان لكم في رسول الله أسوة حسنة

Anas (ra) said, “I have never seen anyone who was more merciful to his children than the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.” In a few words, Anas (ra) describes the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, with his family and children. He ﷺ says to Fatima when she comes to him, “Welcome, my daughter,” then he kisses her and sits her on his right or left. Then, if he fears for his children and grandchildren from envy and the evil eye, he says, “I seek refuge for you in the perfect words of Allah from every devil and pest and from every evil eye.” He also takes care of his children and advises them, saying, “O Fatima, save yourself from the Hellfire, for I do not possess any material thing for you from Allah.” How great is the Messenger when he guides us to teach our children the matters of their Deen, saying, “Teach your children the Salah when they reach the age of seven.” In the days of ignorance, girls were buried alive. He came and said, “Whoever has three daughters and is patient with them, feeds them, gives them drink, and clothes them from his wealth, they will be a shield for him from the Hellfire on the Day of Resurrection.” A fatherhood that never made him forget, and he gives generously. His children, with all this tenderness, directed their attention to the afterlife and to the lofty matters. He would hold them close to his chest, smile at them, and play with them. At the same time, he would not turn a blind eye to any neglect of their affairs regarding the afterlife. Yes. Indeed in the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, you have an excellent example الرّسولُ الابُ مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا كَانَ أَرْحَمَ بِالْعِيَالِ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ بكلمات معدودات يصف أنس رضي الله عنه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مع أهله وعياله يقول عليه الصلاة والسلام لفاطمة عندما تأتيه مرحبا بابنتي ثم يقبلها ويجلسها عن يمينه أو عن شماله في مجلسه ثم إذا خاف على أولاده وأحفاده من الحسد والعين قال أعيذكما بكلمات الله التامة من كل شيطان وهامة ومن كل عين لامة كما ويحرص على أبنائه ويقدم النصح لهم فيقول يا فاطمة أنقذ نفسك من النار فإني لا أملك لكم من الله شيئا وما أعظمه من رسول عندما يرشدنا إلى تعليم أبنائنا أمور دينهم فيقول علموا أولادكم الصلاة إذا بلغوا سبعا وفي جاهلية کانت تئد البنات جاء يقول من كان له ثلاث بنات فصبر عليهم وأطعمهن وسقاهن وكساهن من جدته كن له حجابا من النار يوم القيامة أبوة لم تكن تنسيه وهو يعطي أولاده كل هذا الحنان أن يوجه أنظارهم إلى الآخرة وإلى معالي الأمور فقد كان يضمهم لصدره ويبتسم لهم ويداعبهم وفي الوقت نفسه لم يكن يغض طرفه عن أي إهمال لهم حول شؤون الآخرة نعم لقد كان لكم في رسول الله أسوة حسنة

Muhammad ﷺ structured the Companions (ra) in a group, spread the Dawah, unified the ranks, gathered the people, unified the community, established the state, and spread the Dawah of Islam through jihad in the Path of Allah, until its echo reached the East and the West. He ﷺ was a tolerant leader, who pardoned the wrongdoers, sought excuses for them, and overlooked them. This was evident on the day of the Conquest of Makkah, the day he entered it as a victorious conqueror, while the mushrikoon had no refuge or escape, saying to them, as Yusuf (as) said to his brothers, “No blame will there be upon you today. May Allah forgive you, and He is the Most Merciful of the merciful.” [TMQ Surah Yusuf 92] He ﷺ was a leader who was firm in making decisions, who did not back down from implementing decisions after issuing them, and who proclaimed truth after reviewing his decision, saying, “If Fatima (ra), the daughter of Muhammad ﷺ, had stolen, I would have cut off her hand.” He ﷺ was a leader who consulted his Companions (ra) on important matters, who takes sound opinion and rational argument. He consults Abu Bakr (ra) and Umar (ra) about the prisoners of Badr, and takes the advice of Salman (ra ) in the Battle of Al-Ahzab (Confederates) regarding digging the trench, and the advice of Al-Hubab bin Al-Mundhir (ra) in the Battle of Badr, regarding encamping at the appropriate place. He ﷺ was a leader who assigned tasks and roles, each according to his energy, capabilities and inclinations. So he chose ambassadors, appointed governors, appoints judges, and appointed army commanders, appropriately. He ﷺ is our supreme leader. Yes, “Indeed you have in the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, the best example.” الرّسولُ القائدُ كتّل الصحابة، ونشر الدعوة، ووحّض الصف، ولمّ الشمل، وجمع الكلمة، وأقام الدولة، ونشر دعوة الإسلام عن طريق الجهاد في سبيل الله، حتى بلغ صداھا المشرق والمغرب. قائدٌ متسامح، يعفو عن المسيئين، ويلتمس لهم الأعذار، ويتجاوز عنهم. تجلى ذلك يوم فتح مكة، يوم أن دخلها فاتحاً منتصراً، والمشركون لا ملجأ لهم، ولا مفر. قائلاً لهم، كما قال يوسف لإخوته، (لَا تَثْرِيبَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ ۖ يَغْفِرُ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمْ ۖ وَهُوَ أَرْحَمُ ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ). قائدٌ حازمٌ في اتخاذ القرار، فلا يتراجع عن تنفيذ القرارات بعد إصدارها، ويقول لهم بعد مراجعة قراره، لو أنَّ فاطمةَ بنتَ مُحمَّدٍ سرَقَتْ، لقطَعْتُ يدَها.. قائدٌ يستشير أصحابه في الأمور المهمة، فيأخذ بالرأي السديد، والمنطق الرشيد.، يشاور الصديق والفاروق في أسرى بدر، ويأخذ بمشورة سلمان يوم الأحزاب بحفر الخندق، وبمشورة الحباب بن المنذر في بد وبالنزول في المكان المناسب. قائدٌ يوظف المهمات والأدوار، كلٌ بحسب طاقته وقدراته وميوله، فيختار السفراء، ويولي الولاة، ويعين القضاة، ويختار قادة الجند بكل فخر. هو القائد الأعلى، نعم لقد كان لكم في رسول الله أسوةٌ حسنة.

https://www.alwaqiyah.tv/index.php/video/10636 Patience is the method of the Prophets ﷺ, and the people of goodness and Imaan follow their example. Allah the Almighty said, “So be patient, as were patient the Messengers of strong will.” The Prophet ﷺ said to his Waraqah: “Or are they going to drive me out?” Waraqah said, “Yes, no man has ever come with what you have come with except that he was punished.” So the Prophet ﷺ knew from the first moment that this path was difficult and that victory would not come except with patience So they mocked him and ridiculed him. They accused him of poetry, magic, madness and lying. They boycotted him in the tribe of Banu Hashim until they reached the point of harming him physically, may my father and mother be sacrificed for him ﷺ. So he ﷺ was patient and steadfast, drawing for his Ummah after him how patience should be. He ﷺ said to the family of Yasir while they were being tortured “Be patient, O family of Yasir, for your meeting place is Paradise.” He ﷺ taught them that patience is to say the truth and to be among its people, and to bear the resulting harm without deviating or weakening or softening. Yes “Indeed, in the Messenger of Allah you have the best example to follow” الصبرُ مَنْهَجُ الأنبياءِ، يقتدِي بِهِمْ أهلُ الخيرِ والإيمانِ، قَال تَعَالى (فَاصۡبِرۡ كَمَا صَبَرَ اُولُوا الۡعَزۡمِ مِنَ الرُّسُلِ) يقولُ عليه الصلاة والسلامُ لورقَه (أوَ مُخْرِجِيَّ هُمْ، قالَ: نَعَمْ، لَمْ يَأْتِ رَجُلٌ قَطُّ بمِثْلِ ما جِئْتَ به إلَّا عُودِيَ) فَعَلِمَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُنْذُ اللَّحْظَةِ الْأُوْلَى أَنَّ هَذَا الطَّرِيقَ شَاقٌ وَأَنَّ النَّصْرَ لَا يَكُونُ إِلَّا مَعَ الصَّبْرِ فاستهزأوا به وسَخِروا منه واتهموه بالشِعْرِ والسِحْرِ والجُنُون والكَذِب وقاطعوه في شَعْبِ بني هاشم حتى وصل بهم الأمر أن آذَوه في جَسَدِه بأبي وأمي عليه الصلاة والسلام فكان صابِراً ثابِتاً يرسم لأمته من بعده كيف يكون الصبر يقول لآل ياسر وهم يُعَذَّبون (صَبرا يا آل ياسرَ فإن مَوْعِدَكُم الجنةُ) فيُعَلِّمُهُم بأن الصبر أن تقول الحق وأن تكون من أهله وأن تَتَحَمَّل الأذى النَّاتِج عن ذلك دون أن تَنْحَرِف أو أن تَضْعُف أو تلين نعم (لَّقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ )

https://www.alwaqiyah.tv/index.php/video/10623/الرسول-الصادق-أسوة-حسنة-ح02/ Muhammad (saw), the crown of all the Messengers of Allah, Muhammad is truthful in words and speech. It is enough for our Messenger to be proud and honored by the testimony of the Lord of the Worlds regarding his truthfulness, where He (swt) said: “And he who has brought the truth and believed in it - those are the righteous.” And here is Khadija (ra) consoling him, saying: “Be of good cheer, for by Allah, Allah will never disgrace you. Indeed, you maintain kinship ties and are truthful in speech.” He (saw) said to his clan, warning them, “If I told you that there were war horses in the valley wanting to raid you, would you believe me?” They said, “Yes, we have not experienced from you anything but truth.” He said, “Then I am a warner to you before a severe punishment.” He (saw) is truthful in Iman and in doing good. He is truthful in fearing Allah (swt) and in placing hope in Him. He (swt) is truthful in making tawwakul (reliance) on Him and loving Him. He is truthful in seeking His Pleasure and seeking His support. He is truthful in carrying the trust and conveying the risaalah (message). He (saw) is truthful in words and deeds. He is truthful, the Messenger of Allah (saw). Moreover, he is truthful in its comprehensive and complete meaning. It is the truthfulness that the Ummah knew of and the first generation of believers held fast to. So they prevailed, they led and they remained the best Ummah brought forth for mankind. So the lands were submitted to them and Allah (swt) opened to them the hearts of the servants. Yes, you have in the Messenger of Allah (saw) the best example. محمدٌ، تاج رسل الله قاطبةً، محمدٌ صادق الأقوال والكلمة يكفي رسولنا فخراً وشرفاً شهادة رب العالمين بصدقه حيث قال وَالَّذِي جَاءَ بِالصُّدْقِ وَصَدَّقَ بِهِ أُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُتَّقُونَ وَهَا هِيَ خَدِيجَةُ تُوَاسِهِ قَائِلَةً أَبْشِرْ فَوَاللَّهِ لَا يُخْزِيكَ اللَّهُ أَبَدًا إِنَّكَ لَتَصِلُ الرَّحِمِ وَتَصْدُقُ الْحَدِيثِ يقول لعشيرته منذراً لو أخبرتكم أن خيلاً بالوادي تريد أن تغير عليكم أكنتم مصدقي؟ قالوا نعم ما جربنا عليك إلا صدقاً قال فإني نذير لكم بين يدي عذاب شديد هو صدق في الإيمان وفي الإحسان صدق في مخافة الله وفي رجائه صدق في التوكل عليه وحبه صدق في طلب رضاه وطلب نصره صدق في حمل الأمانة وتبليغ الرسالة هو صدق في الأقوال والأفعال إنه صدق رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ولكن بمعناه الشامل والكامل الصدق الذي عرفته الأمة وتمسك به المؤمنون الأولون فسادوا وقادوا وصاروا خير أمة أخرجت للناس فدانت لهم البلاد وفتح الله لهم قلوب العباد نعم لقد كان لكم في رسول الله أسوة حسنة
