So that was sort of honestly you know, I mean, have you been honest with Allah Allah
Subhana Allah and Milena Elana
Hakeem
and Melissa Ania. From what I mean, yeah, Janelle even offers due to Allah Almighty, we praise Him we seek His help for seeks forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil of our souls and our deeds whoever Allah guides, there is no Miss guide. And whoever Allah leads astray, there is no to guide and I bear witness that there is no God worthy of worship with Allah Almighty and the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam is this slave Servant and Messenger, My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam Saramonic
May Allah subhanaw taala bless this gathering, Allah azza wa jal reward you may Allah subhanaw taala make our deeds sincere and open our hearts and our brains to the Noble Quran and make it an argument for us and not against us on the Day of Judgment inshallah.
Brothers and sisters, we continue with the series
we are starting to the inshallah surah. Al Kalam
we had given the small exam last time for certain work, I don't know if people have it, some others have it as they would like to submit it
again, it is optional, but I highly highly, highly recommend you do it. And you I mean,
perceive it as an examiner testing of what you learned
and if you have forgotten or you are not learning than telling me what needs to be changed or what we can modify so that the learning experience is more fruitful.
This is as far as certain work and the small test that we did as far as far as the timing maybe for the next few months just because of my circumstances I might not be able to do Saturday's this time on Friday acceptable
it's suitable for people
not to watch Friday football
another lesson and I know some brothers also vote
for that one.
Okay. Again, I mean this is technically the way it should be we should our hearts should be welcoming containers for knowledge and for increasing faith and so on.
Sad to see that we we
become you know, we can even accept sitting down for a few minutes to learn something new about our religion or our faith or something along those lines. So, we find when the copy goes five or 10 minutes extra you know we start getting we start shaking and trembling and we want to leave and so on that Allah subhanaw taala reward you and increase you in good can you pass me a transition medicine?
Today we are starting the surah
we first hamdulillah surah
Allah
Allah before I begin with it, it is of course another chapter there are you might have read or you might read some narrations that some of his verses are Medina verses, okay, as opposed to being fully muckin. But a lot of the more popular opinion is it is a fully Mexican chapter. And
it will sort of the column the name sort of column and column being what
append one other pencil
anything that writes well, it's a writing utensil essentially, right? Even though if you want to get technical.
You may say it is closer to a pencil based on another verse in the Quran
which I will ask you to find
it's a writing utensil ultimately, it is something that right pen and pencil is differentiation that we have now okay because of the different ways that they write but the idea is okay.
It is also called sword. Okay, because, as we know, some of the chapters are sometimes named after the first word or two words that come in the chapter.
In a shape on emoji Bismillah Hello. I'm walking
on
noon
by the men and what describe
this Mexican chapter brothers and sisters it is said is one of the first that was revealed. And that also there are some different opinions on it, there is a popular opinion that it may have been possibly the third or fourth Surah that was revealed. And there is another thing in which I will mention in short a lot soon.
He starts off by saying
at noon is just one of those Arabic letters
we've spoken about the letters with which many of the chapters start. And we said the popular opinion very possibly the the strong opinion, what those are mentioned for is what?
Why are those letters mentioned in the beginning of many chapters, but just name and her name and Nolan? And if
Okay,
in what way
exactly. Okay, the idea is, a last panel to Allah is showing them that this which you are so mesmerized by,
and perceive as magic in terms of its eloquence, okay. And its beauty, in its linguistic construction. This is not done by magic, it is done by simple building blocks and tools that you know and have. And they are the Arabic letters that you know, on the ultimate, such as aluminum, how you have these letters. So he's telling them basically, this
has come to you which you are mesmerized by, this is something you have the tools to come up with. So bring something like it.
Now,
it would not be such a challenge or a miracle, the building blocks were not in their hands in the first place. And it would be an argument for against Allah. Oh Allah, I mean, you brought this Quran from something we don't have is telling them no, you have the building blocks, and you have the tools come up with something like it. And they cannot come up even with
such a sword and feel they cannot even construct to show the miraculousness of this book. And this is.
And this is another example of it. And he's starting with me. And the interesting thing is, this is what
I mentioned is that this is definitely, if not the first
chapter in terms of being the third or fourth chapter that was revealed of the whole Quran, it is definitely the first one that was revealed with a challenging letter. So this is the first letter to challenge the pagans have
known
a simple letter.
One of those letters,
challenge to all of you pagans, to all the poets, to the people who you know, used to literally
mesmerize people when they're eloquent see, and with their poetry and with their language and their vocabulary. So, here it is known, a simple letter, a lot of
this letter, come up with something like it, so it is one of them. It is one of the first chapters, that represents a challenge to the pagans of
greatness, some of that greatest
message.
And then again, it could be Allah Allah, it could be
that maybe
a possibility there have been many possibilities that were mentioned by scholars and I was mentioning that one because this is one of the popular ones. And one that is very logical. And it shows that indeed, this Quran is miraculous and a challenge to all of humanity. So it starts out with and there are by the way, other explanations you may read in some of the data set, but the according to what noon is, okay.
Simply because moon also refers to
also refers to
the noon and we say then noon
right. But what does refer to in that case
the one of noon so known as what which profit?
Center, right. So, what is the close companion of Yunus and the famous story in the whole journey?
The thing that he is known for,
right,
is explained as a wave. Okay. And you will you might read some of the five generations before, they mentioned that new here refers to this food, okay. But it is just a letter that
starting the chapter with me,
well follow me when I asked.
When he says what color, it is an old, right he's taking an oath, he's taking an oath by word,
by the pen or the writing utensil, Allah only things off my left, which is important. This life, brothers and sisters is a revolution. This is literally a revolution. Because Allah subhanaw taala is swearing and therefore magnify and raising the status of a rising youth
development from the Bahamas, never.
The Arabs are not familiar with or at least not very familiar with.
Because they don't read or write. There are illiterate people. And Allah subhanaw taala swears by it. And one of the beginning chapters to be revealed in Makkah, this is a revolution. This is something that is a challenge, okay, and should be something of interest to the beggar
who never claimed to read or write who was a shepherd, who was just a normal human being with us. Here he is now his bringing up and he's talking to us about the writing he says
he doesn't rise in the first place.
It's actually more evidence for the intellectual to realize this is not some Prophet Muhammad peace be upon a why was he coming and mentioned one of his weaknesses. And that is the fact that he doesn't read or write. He's wearing the writing utensil.
It's also to show the importance of this writing utensil to show the importance of writing in general, to show the importance of knowledge. And here is mention of the writing utensil a second time, after it was mentioned the first time the first revelation was given
in the first Surah, right,
the smell of the color, the color,
of course.
Color halaman in Southern Ireland, that itself is a revolution even before that, right? Because I love
the Lord that has taught by the pen or by the writing and the pencil, and he taught the human being that which he did not know Allah. Indeed, the writing utensil is one of the most important tools of knowledge, if not the most important tool of knowledge
that was used and continues to be used and will continue to be used
to spread knowledge. It's an emphasis on the importance of knowledge and an emphasis on the importance of
right writing that knowledge, how much Subhanallah of our Islamic knowledge that we enjoy and understand today, it came to us through writing my dear brothers and sisters, this parameter
has come to us other than in written form, it has come of course in oral form.
And in the sense that we can only learn
in the way that Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam recited it. Yes, the oral form is more important.
But the written form is as important for so many people who read the Quran people who speak different languages, it was translated for them and so on.
What would we do if the Quran was not written at a time where our memories have become so weak Subhanallah and we cannot we can barely hold anything on the Quran. What if it wasn't written? How would we be able to handle it? What are the blessings of Allah the
Prophet Muhammad peace be upon himself in his time, though people memorize, told him
companions to write.
But was it from the very beginning
from the very beginning right
there the beginning or middle or later or what?
Not the very beginning, what did he start with
what was what what was the emphasis on writing related to
you know what I mean is
the thing that he delayed biting off is the son
right out of care for the
end so that they are not confused. The beginning of this the Apollo told the companions to write the Quran
to write what he is retyping to preserve it.
And when they wanted to write them the song he told them not to, he told them to wait so that it is not confused with the Quran. When we issue of the Quran became stable and firm and they understood the difference. Then he gave them the permission to write of the Sunnah. And they started writing in the Sunnah. And then, centuries later, writing on the Sunnah became
even more involved, and they started compiling it in books, and so on.
So the importance of the writing utensil of the pen with which to write it is an instruction from Allah, to Allah to this grid, that used to be an illiterate,
that you love, to learn, to write, and read, because much of the world's knowledge is preserved in this way.
And especially if you want to apply it to many of the other aspects of Islamic knowledge, not just the Quran.
I mean, how many people can
orally transmit the fish, let's say,
to the coming generations, right, or for the amount of work will be informed the importance of writing, so that this reached us today we read the sexiness of Imams that were there, hundreds and hundreds of years ago, what a blessing because of this blessing of writing and the ability to read. And therefore Allah subhanaw taala takes an oath after that, by that which they write, well,
he is taking an oath by which they write. And there are several opinions of scholars about what that may be that which they write, it could be what we just mentioned, everything that is written as knowledge, of beneficial knowledge, Allah.
And when you think about it to Allah, it is mind boggling. Think about the trillions of papers that are filled with ink. Today with writing in the whole world. If you were to put together all of the books,
all of the writing in the world, all of the text in the world, all of the journals in the world, all the newspapers in the world, all of the different huge libraries in the world, Allahu Akbar.
All this knowledge and all this writing, and all of it is in the knowledge of Allah subhanaw taala. Nothing is hidden from ALLAH
SubhanA when we hear about one person recently, you know, memorizing or learning 100 books, getting a PhD and writing a thesis was Allah.
What about Allah pelota Allah, who has everything that has ever been written? Now? We're talking about the trillions of books now? What about the trillions of books that were burned?
The books that were burnt and thrown in the river, the Euphrates in Iraq, when they took over Iraq, about 700 800 years ago, Allah azza wa jal bring it back to the Muslims and so on. What how many books were thrown were burned in Palestine, when the Crusaders came, they burned hundreds of books. So much knowledge has been lost. Imagine now all that was that has ever been written, Allah subhanaw taala is swearing by that which has been written with the writing utensil.
Another opinion
is that this is
a lot of swearing, by what has been written meaning what has been written up to the point
from the scribes of the Quran at the time of Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu ala use
and the importance of that, okay because
This is the way and one of the ways that Allah, Allah has preserved this novel book, in that it was written. And we spoke about the compilation of the Quran before. And we detailed the stages that went through, and how that was a very important reason for its preservation at the time of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon us at the time of the Allah Han. And at the time of us man was the Allah on me. It's another possible explanation. This is referring to what the angels right have good and bad deeds. And Allah subhanaw taala swears by it. And ultimately, it's important, I think, is most conspicuous. And that is that it is the basis upon which accountability
will be decided on the day of
all of the deeds that have ever been done, and all of the sins that have ever been committed by humanity.
Another possibility
is that the writing utensil itself that Allah Allah is swearing by is not the one in this dunya. But the one that he first created subhanho wa Taala that wrote all of
all of divine decrees
everything. The authentic hadith tells us, Prophet Muhammad,
Allah azza wa jal, the first thing Allah azza wa jal created was the pen or the writing utensil. And when he told his right, says, What should I write? He said, right, what will become and what will be for ever, and the pen wrote, everything that is ever to come, all other all the fine decree was written and preserved in a notion,
right in the Preserved Tablet, and this is also a very popular and possible explanation. And in that case, one is thrown is also
a reference to what has been written of the Divine Decree.
No, well, ALEMI one is
really just the three words it's a revolution. And you have to try to think of it was the perception of the pagans
who do not speak about
or writing or anything else, Allah azza wa jal is opening their brains and opening their insights to something great. In the very beginning, brothers and sisters, it seems difficult. Later on, it becomes more simple, you alive talk about
scientifically realities now, as if it's water 203 300 years ago, it wasn't this offense at all.
There are hundreds of other theories about what the scientific reality is, and the doctors role in medicine.
In the beginning, it's not that obvious of this to the fingers of something extraordinary. Allah azza wa jal, or Prophet Muhammad Ali was coming to them with speech about the pen and writing and so on. This is something assessment.
It could be a reference to the angels, the angels or what is being written metaphorically in the heavens, you see what I'm saying?
Like when the Quran mentioned several times, that the devils are trying to go up and to hear the other and to see what is being, you know, written for people or decreed for people. Okay. But it couldn't be a reference to that.
But ultimately, it's a very strong
possible opinion that this is the column that Allah has sworn by and this is something great. I mean, that everything that has
ever happened, was written by that one writing utensil by the commander philosophy. And what before the creation of the heavens and the earth by 50,000 years, this is not something small
and Allah swearing.
Imagine
you are not for Muhammad, by the favor of your Lord and
now, the pagans of Metka hearing this verse noon Well, number one is to rule from Prophet Muhammad discipline may very well lead them to call him
In one writing, and you know nothing on this, what are you speaking about?
We know the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him
who is who is supposed to be worth more to us than our selves, our money,
our children, everything valuable to us. Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him the best of humanity in him Allah subhanaw taala chose for the guidance and mercy of humanity. This
magnificent man is the one
that was called a madman, by men who are worshipping idols.
This person is called a madman, by people who are worshipping idols, who are not worth one fingernail or one hair on the body of Allah.
And Allah subhanaw taala has come to him.
And by Allah, He deserves it. And he deserves our difference.
These verses coming in defense of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him
at a timely time now, where Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him has become the property of anyone who wants to insult him. May Allah subhanaw taala take revenge on all those that insulting and guide the ones who may be guided to the guidance of Islam to the mercy of Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam brothers and sisters.
The fact of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him was insulted Yes, this is
the depths of the hearts of
towards their beloved Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, this is new.
This did not exist before
the people love their prophet is a problem and we're ready to do anything to defend him. But nowadays we are asleep Subhanallah and we hear today that another country wants to publish those cartoons again. He does all that following Audacity. And part of it may be
that the Muslims are sleeping, and they sleep. And Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him is not in the heart
of hearts. And right Mohammed in it. My brothers and sisters, they called him a madman.
They were calling this great human beings.
And the one who's defending the Almighty Allah, the King of kings, the supreme the Almighty, the omnipotent Allah subhanho wa Taala
Who created the heavens and the earth and everything in between in six days. And then offended that this mighty Allah subhanaw taala is coming to the defense of Prophet Muhammad says, let that be a lesson for all of the ones who claim the love Prophet Muhammad salah. We need to come to the defense of Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
because
you are not on Muhammad by the favor of your Lord.
What does he mean by the favor of your Lord,
with the favor of your Lord upon you, with everything that has been given to you
knowledge of manners,
character,
piety, of every compliments and praise that you can think of this favor with the favor of Allah.
You are not a madman, how can you be a man
with all the favorites that Allah subhanaw taala has bestowed upon these pagans and they
knew perfectly well disfavor upon SallAllahu wasallam. They know this,
because they are the ones who
admitted in themselves and amongst their people, that he is the best
and that he is the most mannered and he is the most trustworthy, so that they gave him the trustworthy
and they left their money with him. As we know the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam when he left.
He left him in Medina to take care of the belongings of people.
Indeed, they had left many of their belongings with him and their wealth with him because they trusted him. And now you're coming in calling him a madman. Hola. Hola. What's
what's lack of internet?
You are the most
have
claimed and know full well that he is the truthful. And he is the most truthful and that never
really know tell a lie about Allah subhanaw taala is more intellectual than
the King, the woman King.
When he asked, I will Sophia, has he ever said,
Have you seen him live before? And he said, No, he has not told a lie before. He said that he hasn't told a lie to people, he will not tell a lie about Allah. This is intellect.
So now they're calling him. And that just because he's coming to them with something, they're not used to be aware of this. Allah azza wa jal has given us a brain and understanding so that we can take even if it is something new or something, we are not sure to take it, to read about it, to understand it, to analyze it, and to come up with a logical conclusion.
Because they match noon. So the favor of your Lord bestowed upon you, you are not a madman, and they called him a madman, and they called him a poet, and they call them
what they call them, and they insulted him because of the arrogance in their hearts, and because they only want to find one to follow their own desires and live the way that they wanted
to live.
Then Allah, Allah says, What
are you
and indeed for you is a reward uninterrupted. So first, Allah subhanaw taala, exonerated him,
of all bad manners,
of being crazy.
He is denying anything bad about the messenger Muhammad Sallallahu. It was and now he's praising him and showing his status with Allah, Allah, Allah and the multitudes of reward that he has from Allah azza wa jal
uninterrupted
when the Arab say
mental health or mental happiness means he cut the rope. So, here he is talking about something which is uninterrupted uncut, uncut rewards from Allah subhanho wa Taala forever
you may ask how or why
do you get
perpetual rewards?
Is there such a thing as perpetual reward?
Is there
there is
unless it stops, right,
me stop
me meaning.
You
let's say you you, you know
you brought forth water for people.
But as soon as for some reason, it stops and people are not benefiting from it. It stops.
But
what about perpetual rewards?
Now
lessons you
and he keeps it for you. It will stay until the day of judgment and you will be benefiting in your grades until the Day of Judgment. Right? Same thing if you leave
if you leave knowledge which people benefit from
one example which is maybe unmatched and beautiful, is the one where Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said that.
The one
who dies defending Islam or the forts of Islam
dying in a state of Riba.
Right in defense of the strongholds of Islam. This person's reward is uninterrupted until the Day of Judgment, it's a counter
ruling counter it never stops Allah to show that you see these in each of the specific rewards learn them, so they can be an incentive to you don't put it all in the same pot. They're not in the same pot. They're completely different. They have different rewards
by the wisdom of Allah subhanaw taala
as perpetual rewards.
Islam for
by German army let me write the one who calls to a good sunnah in Israel.
Ah, he will be rewarded for it, and he will get the reward of those who benefit from it. This is perpetual reward.
And what has Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him
more than this beautiful religion,
the council our Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him never stops,
is going until the Day of Judgment.
Because all guidance that we know now after Allah subhanaw taala is because of Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam
everything that we enjoy today is because of
what's the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him after the blessing of Allah subhanaw taala and guiding us to that which Prophet Muhammad was brought by the will of
my brothers and sisters, his counter, never ever stops, all of the rewards
are on his behalf.
It's all going to his behalf everything we learned the whole religion.
And it is with this understanding
that the previous generations answered the question about
giving
rewards of our worship to Prophet Muhammad this will fall out of love for Prophet Muhammad peace be upon a question that may arise.
And a question that has arisen before.
I want to pray and I want to give the reward as a gift to Prophet Muhammad.
I believe and I want to give the rewards of my reputation as a gift to Prophet Muhammad peace be upon.
The students often Imam nawawi was asked this question specifically
about giving.
Gifting the rewards of Quran for Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. He said this is not something that the pious generations have done,
or have mentioned, and it is a bit
and most importantly, all of the rewards that we enjoy now, this on the behalf of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him.
By default, of course, everything you're doing it all
in the
world, the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam enjoys. So he doesn't need you to grant him or give him recitation of Quran your recitation of Quran itself
is rewarded for it. Because it is all coming under that general as it will just mentioned, whoever calls to guidance
will have reward for it. And the reward of those who follow that guidance for profit
is rewarded for all. Now Allah subhanaw taala send these best prayers and peace and blessings upon him
and bring us together with him in the highest of paradise insha Allah
so He has reward uninterrupted, and this is
to cause
in the hearts of those who are trying to put him down and to insulting to let them know that number one what you are saying
doesn't have any connection to reality. Number two, he has rewards without me. So in south as you please, and we say the same to the stupid Danish cartoonist, and all of the people with him who are doing what they are doing out of their ignorance or out of their hate or whatever it may be.
You are not worth
one * on the body of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, you will never get to him. He's rewards go uninterrupted. And you are the madman.
And everyone who tends to do what they did and continues to do what they did.
They might say Allah subhanaw taala is the one who comes to the defense of His Beloved Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
and then you ignoramuses you people who know nothing. You people who live your life like animals most of the time, you are coming now to try to insult Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam
water you and what you are doing, water you, you the mentality, the sick mentality that you have, and the rockin hearts that you have in your body that
stops you and prevents you from seeing the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him is the greatest human being that has ever
them, and even according to the confessions of some of the non Muslims and the Western is awful
and indeed, you are of a great moral character, Allahu Akbar,
the fact that Allah subhanaw taala is also praising him for his manners.
And this is not specific, this is general
in other places,
Allah subhanaw taala may have been certain things of a prophet Muhammad peace be upon, this is general,
Allah subhanho wa Taala
is praised
in all of his manners,
his whole character
who can be praised by another human being,
but his whole character
another human being, I'm saying, can anyone say to someone else, your character is excellent, full character? No.
I am I may be excellent with you.
You see me now and you say mashallah, but you don't know how to say with my wife, or my children, I hope I'm good, I love love, I tried to be with the idea is,
I mean, you cannot generalize to the world Kirkton and this is a human, another human. Here you have got a likeness of Hello.
Praising one human being for his character.
He has beautified the ornaments of the brush with all kinds of certainty in
it
there are at least four pools of certainty in this verse
number one,
this shows certainty. And he said
and he said
because
and he says,
even say you have good character. He says you are
you are on this means it's almost like you are above it. Do you have full control of it says many scholars have split when
his character
says if he is above it, and in control and control of his character is in control of his desires is in control of his sayings and his doings and his actions. He's in control of themselves with his wife, with his family, with his relatives with his friends, with his neighbors with everyone. He is in control of that character.
And
prayers and blessings upon the Your Beloved Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
brothers and sisters.
It is one thing
to be praised by people.
Now let's come back to the earth to be praised by people outside, outside, you are smiling, Mashallah. And we're friends. We see each other maybe once a week, maybe once a day. We don't live with each other. So we see the best of each other. We don't see each other when we're angry or when we're sad or when
when the real
the spouses are the ones who see that.
So
a certain brother or sister in front of you is Masha Allah, excellent character. But maybe in her house she was not like that. Maybe the man doesn't have in his house is not like that.
It's a totally different world, for the spouse to come and say, my husband's character,
who can send
a man to his wife or wife to her husband.
And they come and ask our mother
about the manners of Prophet Muhammad. And she says his manners were
not like they were before. It means a full embodiment of the Quran, the Quran and all many commands and
embodiment of this. And this is coming from
his closely beloved, the one who is living with him.
And the one who has seen him in all of these different situations. She's saying this, so obviously the people who see him
mean other times, may praise him even more.
She is praising him, because she's the one who sees him in all of his situations, and she is saying kind of put up a hole.
Not only Mother of the Believers, you might say what she loves him?
What
will be Allah on the youth who served for 10 years? And he said, Well, Allah, He never said to me, in other words, an expression of refusal, or anger or something of the sort. And he said he never sent to something I didn't do, why didn't you do it? Or do something? I did? Why didn't you do it? Or why did you do it?
This is the, the the manners of this is someone who literally was with him and was helping him and serving Him for these 10 years.
also says that Allah, He never hit a servant or any one of his wife,
Allah.
Then you say,
well,
he doesn't experience the stress that I do.
We live a stressful life. We have stressful work. stressful times.
He doesn't experience what I experienced. That's why I'm doing what I'm doing. We come up with excuse after excuse. Well, how about if I tell you that he had the
all of the grief on his shoulders,
he was shouldering the responsibilities of, he's the leader. He's the leader
that is about to be extinct, if it wasn't for the blessing of Allah subhanaw taala. And if it wasn't for the fact, of the jihad and the striving that he did, and the companions to bring us this religion, and yeah, 23 years to do it, and he didn't know how
to bring this religion pure. And then you say, he doesn't have the stress I do. Subhanallah
he was a million times more stressed than new, yet he maintains his smile, Salah Ali.
And he maintained his character. And therefore, Allah subhanaw taala said, what kind of Allah,
brothers and sisters, we can speak to me so much about his character, we don't have time to discuss his character, the beauty of his character. And he mentioned a lot of it in the hotbars, and sometimes in the lessons and other places.
There are so many beautiful examples, I'll just give maybe a few, a few salient examples of his beautiful character.
If we look at character, you can split it in two different ways.
One of them
patience
with something which bothers you, okay, or something that harms you. And under that comes patience, and clemency and forgiveness and mercy, right follow in his patience with something that bothers or harms you. Take the example of Prophet Muhammad, when the Mother of the Believers
was coming with the food
to the guests of Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam.
She was jealous.
