House of Prophet Muhammad

Muhammad (PBUH) s/o Abdullah (Arabic: محمّد; Transliteration: Muḥammad; also spelled Mohammed or Muhammed) is the messenger and last prophet of God (Arabic: الله‎ Allah), the last and the greatest law-bearer in a series of Islamic prophets as taught by the Qur’an. The restorer of the uncorrupted original monotheistic faith (islām) of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and other prophets. He was also a diplomat, merchant, philosopher, orator, legislator, reformer, military general and more. I am going to share some images of sacred house of Prophet Muhammad where He lived. Such a great Prophet and such a humble place to live.

Hope Until The Very End

One day, as Ali bin Abi Taalib and al-Hussain bin Ali were walking together, they heard a man supplicating to Allah. The man was begging Allah to forgive him for his evil crimes. His sincere tone and eloquent words aroused the interest of Ali, who turned to his son and said, “Do you not hear the man who is so very contrite because of his sins? Go catch up with him and call him.”

When al-Hussain caught up with the man, he saw that he was clean-looking, clean-smelling, with nice clothes and altogether handsome- except that he seemed to be paralyzed on the right side of his body. Al-Hussaid said, “Answer the summons of the Leader of the believers, Ali bin Abu Taalib.”

Importance of Dua (Prayer, Asking From God)

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that Allah’s Messenger (PBUH) said:
“Whoever does not ask from Allah, He (Allah) becomes angry at him.”
(An authentic Hadeeth reported by Ibn Majah, At-Tirmidhi, Al-Haakim and others)

In the previously quoted saying of the Prophet (PBUH), there is proof that the supplication means requesting something from Allah, through which His Contentment is attained. This is since not asking from Allah out of pride and self-dependence is not permissible with respect to the Self-sufficient, the Most Praiseworthy. A poet took the meaning of this Hadith and put it into poetic form saying:

The Muslim is Friendly And Likable

The Muslim who truly understands the teachings of his religion; is gentle, friendly and likeable. He mixes with people and gets along with them. This is something which should be a characteristic of the Muslim who understands that keeping in touch with people and earning their trust is one of the most important duties of the Muslim. It is an effective means of conveying the message of truth to them, and exposing them to its moral values, because people only listen to those whom they like, trust and accept. Hence there are many Hadiths which commend the type of person who is friendly and liked by others. Such a person is one of those chosen ones who are beloved by the Prophet (PBUH) and will be closest to him on the Day of Resurrection:
