Our Perfect Exemplar

Every Muslim should be familiar with how our Prophet s.a.w behaves towards people, whether they were Muslims or non Muslims.

And we know, many a times, actions do speak louder than words.


Remember the stories we hear about our beloved Prophet s.a.w? There's one story that i had it stuck on my head amongst many others that were told.

There was an old lady who didn't like our Prophet s.a.w. So everytime our Prophet s.a.w walked below a bridge, she would throw rubbish down and it would land on our Rasulullah s.a.w. Every day, she would do that. Until one day, Prophet s.a.w walked past the bridge but to his surprise, no rubbish came down. So he went around and asked where does the old lady stay and he was told that she was sick. So he went to her house and visit her. The old lady was shocked! She never expect Rasulullah s.a.w to visit her despite all those disgusting acts that she did to him.

This is Rasulullah s.a.w. The man that was sent down as a mercy to mankind, to perfect our character and as a perfect exemplar to mankind.

And I would like to quote one of the statement that Shaykh Khalil Moore said in his recent talk @ SimplyIslam:
Love is a reciprocal thing. He(Rasulullah s.a.w) loves us. And why can't we reciprocate his love by loving him back?
