The nature of the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H)


From different Hadiths, we know that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was always good-natured and well-behaved. Signs of happiness and joy are always on His blessed face. 

He was gentle and readily agreed when people needed her. He does not speak harshly, nor is he stone-hearted. He did not shout, nor was he rude, nor did he speak rudely while speaking. He does not find fault with others. He never praised anything too much and never went overboard in religion, nor was he miserly.


The forgiveness of the the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H)


In the blessed life of the Messenger of Allah, forgiveness, mercy, compassion, and love are seen. He never took personal revenge against anyone in his entire life. He never raised His hand to anyone.

The greater example of forgiveness and mercy is on the occasion of the conquest of Makkah, the Messenger of Allah forgave all those enemies who had made life difficult for Him and His companions in Makkah, not for a few months but 13 years.


The kindness of the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H)

His kindness was not limited only to human beings, but animals and birds were also included in his kindness.

Many examples show His kindness and gentleness, especially towards the weak and the poor.

Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) who was His helper, said: I served the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) for ten years and He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) never said to me, 'Be ashamed or why you do such and such a thing.'? Or why did you not do such and such a thing?” (Bukhari, 2038).


The humor of the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H)


Along with all of these the Prophet (P.B.U.H) was also a person who was blessed with a great sense of humor and having humor shows your humanity.

There are so many instances of the jokes of the Prophet (P.B.U.H) and all of the jokes of the Prophet (P.B.U.H) are pure, clean, and truthful even His jokes are true.

One of the instances is an old lady coming to the Prophet (P.B.U.H) and saying Oh! Messenger of Allah make dua that Allah causes me to enter Jannah, the Prophet (P.B.U.H) looked at her and said Oh my aunt! haven't you been informed that old ladies cannot enter Jannah, she begins wailing and crying and what am I going to do now? and then He told her don't cry old ladies cannot enter Jannah but Allah (S.W.T) will make her into a young fair maiden and then she will enter Jannah.


May Allah (S.W.T) grant all Muslims strong faith, purity of heart, good morals, righteous deeds, and the ability to understand the correct meaning of all the teachings of the Qur'an and Hadith.
