Born without father, and mother dies at the age of 6 to prove to us that you can carve your way to success without any help from your

parents on anyone else if you trust in Allah and tread the path of righteousness with hard work and resilience.

قال الله تعالى:"لقد كان لكم في رسول الله أسورة حسنة لمن كان يرجو الله واليوم الآخر وذكر الله كثيرا (21) ( سورة الأحزاب)

"Ye have indeed in the Messenger of Allah a beautiful pattern of conduct for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the Final Day, and who engages much in the praise of Allah." (33:21)

Taken to desert for upbringing at tender age so as to master the language, escape from some infectious diseases,

become strong as well as pondering about the dominion of Allah.

يقول الحكماء:"من تعلم لغة قوم أمن شرهم." The adage says,: "Whoever learns other people's language, becomes safe from their plotting and intrigues."

He used to sit beside his grandfather, Abdul –Muttaleb, and learned from his experience in terms of dealing with delegations.

ٌقال رسول الله – صلى الله عليه وسلم:"الحكمة ضالة المؤمن أينما وجدها أخذ بها،" "Wisdom is the long-desired objective of a believer, wherever he finds it, he earnestly takes it."

All his male children died at tender age.

قال الله تعالى:"ما كان محمد أبا أحد من رجالكم ولكن رسول الله وخاتم النبيين وكان الله بكل شيء عليما. (40) (سورة الأحزاب)

"Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but (he is) the Messenger of Allah, and the seal of the prophets; and Allah has full knowledge of all things." (33:40)

Hatred and spite are not constructive contributions to the work of this world. Abu Jahl and his pagan confederates used to vent their

personal spite and venom against the Holy Prophet by taunting him with the loss of his sons. They were the ones that were cut off from any future hope, in this world and in the hereafter.

Succeeded tremendously in Da'wah in a short period of time (23) years – 13 in Makkah and 10 in Medinah. (Advantages of Hijrah)

His concentration on winning the hearts of people before implementing punishment on them:

*Story of the man who pissed in the mosque. *Story of Zaid bin Saanah who came to claim his money before time.

*Story of Omar bin Al-Khattab when he came to embrace Islam.

قال الله تعالى:"فبما رحمة من الله لنت لهم ولو كنت فظا غليظ القلب لانفضوا من حولك فاعف عنهم واستغفر لهم وشاورهم في الأمر، فإذا عزمت فتوكل على الله إن الله يحب المتوكلين." (159) (آل عمران)

"It is part of the Mercy of Allah that you deal with them gently "It is part of the Mercy of Allah that you deal with them gently. Were you to be severe or hard hearted, they would have broken away from you. So pass over their faults,

and ask for Allah's forgiveness for them; and consult them in affairs (of moment). Then when you take any decision, put your trust in Allah. For Allah loves those who put their trust (in Him.) (3:159)

After one the battles, he found Jaber bin Abdullah very sad after his father had been martyred.

He then rode side by side with him and tried to console him in different ways.

Abdullah bin Abbas refused to take his advice. قال الله تعالى:"والذين استجابوا لربهم وأقاموا الصلاة وأمرهم شورى بينهم ومما رزقناهم ينفقون (39) (سورة الشورى)

"Those who hearken to their Lord, and establish regular prayer;

who (conduct) their affairs by mutual consultation; who spend out of what We bestow on them for sustenance." (42:38)

At the battle of Bader Al-Hubab bin Al-Mundhir advised him to camp near a water well and the Prophet acquiesced.

Joking but at the same time telling the truth Joking but at the same time telling the truth. (His joke with an old woman)

قال الله تعالى:"إنا أنشأتاهن إنشاء، فجعلناهن أبكارا، عربا أترابا، لأصحاب اليمين..." (35-37) (سورة الواقعة)

"We have created (their companions) of special creation "We have created (their companions) of special creation. And made them virgin-pure (and undefiled) – Beloved (by nature), equal in age – for the companions of the right hand." (56:35-38)

The tea bags were discovered accidentally when a British tea dealer, Thomas Sullivan, shipped his tea in

bags to save some money and then he found that his customers preferred it that way. So with determination and self-confidence, you can effect a change.

What Some Unbiased Non-Muslim Celebrities Say:

Michael H. Hart, an American historian, in his book, “A Ranking of the 100 Most Influential People in History,” has this to say:

“Of humble origins, Muhammad founded and promulgated one of the world’s great religions,

and became an immensely effective political leader as well as spiritual leader.” He further said: “Muhammad, however, was responsible for both;

the theology of Islam and its main ethical and moral principals the theology of Islam and its main ethical and moral principals. In addition, he played the key role in proselytizing the new faith, and in establishing the religious practices of Islam.”

Bernard Shaw said: “If he were alive today he would succeed in solving all those problems, which threaten to destroy human civilization in our time.”

Lamartine, a renowned historian of our time, questions the world on the essentials of human greatness in the following words: “If greatness of purpose, smallness of means,

and astounding results are the three criteria of human genius, who could dare to compare any great man in modern history with Muhammad?

The most famous men created arms, laws and empires only The most famous men created arms, laws and empires only. They founded, if anything at all, no more than material powers which often crumbled away before their eyes.

This man moved not only armies, legislation, empires, peoples and dynasties, but millions of men in one third of the then inhabited world. And more than that, he moved altars, gods, religions, ideas, beliefs and souls…”

Thomas Carlyle in his ‘Heroes and Hero-Worship,’ was simply amazed as to how one man single-handed could weld warring tribes and

wandering Bedouins into a most powerful and civilized nation in less than two decades.

Note that no one bribed these famous educated men to say the aforementioned statements about Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Those statements were pronounced after objective and unbiased researches about the life of that great man and the impact of his mission on his followers.

Muhammad (PBUH) Sent to All:

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was a messenger of God and was sent for the guidance of the entire mankind.

All the prophets and messengers who came before him were human beings like him. They lived an ordinary life like other people.

They married, begot children, experienced happiness and suffering and endured hardships anticipating the pleasure of Allah Almighty.

The main distinction between them and the common people was/is the revelation from God.
