The biography of the Prophet is the mirror of our lives

Man must have an ideal that he admires and lives in its shadow, imitating its morals, qualities and habits as well. Whom God Almighty said in praise of him: {And you are of a great character} confirmed that with four affirmations, that it is in the answer to the oath, and that the speech is sufficient, and the blame is confirmed, so that his nation knows his great stature with his Lord, where he is praised by this great praise, so she performs the duty of reprimanding him. And reverence for it, as God Almighty commanded that, and Al-Busairi, may God have mercy on him, expressed this moral perfection by saying:

He surpassed the Prophets in character and in character * and they did not compare him in knowledge or generosity. The two sheikhs narrated on the authority of Anas, may God be pleased with him, who said: “The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, was the best of people in character.” Aisha, may God be pleased with her, said: “No one was better in character than the Messenger of God.” God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, not one of his companions or of his family called him except that he said to you.”

Therefore, the Muslim does not find an ideal personality in whose shadow he can live greater than the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace. Urge them to follow the example of this great apostle, said: {I've had you in the Messenger of Allah a good example for those who had hopes for Allah and the Last Day and the remembrance of Allah much}, it is necessary to follow his example to know him blessings and peace in all religion affairs and the world, and the case and the article, there is no case do not A person finds in him the equivalent of his life, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, in terms of religion and worldly affairs. Worship and treatment, buying and selling, rich and poor, joy and sorrow, care and orphanhood, patience over tragedies, gratitude for blessings, individual and pluralistic family life, jihad with tongue and tongue, victory and others, and morals of faith, devotion and dealing..All of this was preserved in the biography, the Sunnah and the merits, and was passed down through the generations, so it is not hidden from the state of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, from his birth to his mission, then his call and migration to his joining the supreme companion, and all of these conditions were parallel in greatness with no known defect.

And the Muslim is interested in knowing all of that, otherwise he will not be able to sympathize with him, so he will lose his good example, and perhaps he is looking for famous people to make them role models, and many of them are not worthy of sympathy. So he will love that obligatory love that blends with the grace of hearts out of knowledge and not from imitation, and at that time he will not give him anything from soul, money or children, and this is the standard of faith, as the two sheikhs narrated from the hadith of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, that he, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, none of you believes until I am dearer to him than his father and son.” Then love compels him to follow willingly before being terrified, leads him to adopt his morals, so he attains the charity that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, preached by saying: “The last of you are the best in character.” Rather, he realizes from reward and grace what the fasting person perceives who is standing, as he, peace and blessings of God be upon him and his family, said: “The believer, through his good manners, realizes the rank of the fasting person who is standing.”

In addition, he knows his Prophet as if he sees him with his own eyes, as some of them said: I am freed from the river of the Beloved and its quarter * and the glory of meeting him and his homes are far away and you missed him to see him with your eyes * What you missed with the eye, these are his attributes This is the state of the Muslim concerned with loving the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him and his family, and following him, and as The sons of the Companions and their young ones, may God be pleased with them, were keen on that, so they would ask and learn from those who knew him, as Al-Hakim narrated on the authority of Al-Hasan bin Ali, may God be pleased with them both, he said: “I asked my uncle Hind bin Abi Hala - and he was Wassafi - about the ornament of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace. Peace be upon him.” He mentioned the hadith of its length, and Ali Zain al-Abidin said: “We used to teach the missions of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and his secrets as we would teach a surah from the Qur’an.”

How is the nation's state of this knowledge of its Prophet?!

And God Almighty mourned for a people who did not know who God had sent to them, and he said: “Did they not know their Messenger, so they deny him?”

Oh God, create us with the morals of our Prophet and grant us his intercession.

• The Muslim does not find an ideal figure to live in whose shadow is greater than the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace.
