“The life of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was a beacon of light for humanity and was called Rehmatul Lil Aalamin due to His noble qualities including kindness, Sadiq, and Ameen,” said religious scholar Maulana Tila Muhammad Sadique.
He (SAWW) was a perfect example of an honest, merciful, compassionate, truthful, and brave human being, who showered peace and mercy upon all creatures living on the face of the earth.
“Muhammad is a holy Prophet raised by Allah, the creator and Sustainer of all human beings for the guidance and happiness of the entire mankind. His qualities of being peace-loving, kind and merciful, generous, modest, and his concern for orphans, widows and poorer, his respect for the people of other religions and religious leaders had touched the hearts of everyone,” Maulana Tila Sadique said.
He said the holy Prophet (PBUH) forgives even his hard opponents after the conquest of Makkah and His simple lifestyle was a good example for the whole of mankind.
“The conquest of Makkah has given a clear lesson to keep moving consistently towards the right direction with a trust in God to achieve a goal, believing in Allah’s help and promoting tolerance, high moral values, and forgiveness.”
In all wars, he said the last Prophet of Allah led from the front and pardoned all opponents after the victory.
“The last messenger of Allah taught us equality, humanity, and the rights of women. He showed followers the value of respect in social life and simplicity in family life. “The best among you are those, who behave best towards their wives. The best among you is the one, who is kindest to his wife, and the worst among you is the one who treats his wife badly”.
He said Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was a perfect family man for all time and raised four daughters, educated them, and married them to pious husbands.
Being a respectful husband and a loving father to his children and grandchildren, he showed a good example to his followers about the way of peaceful family life in the way of Islamic teachings.
“Whenever Hazrat Fatima (RA) came in front of the holy Prophet, He raised from the seat as a mark of respect and met her with great kindness,” he said.
As a businessman, successful reformist, strategic leader, and brilliant administrator, the holy Prophet (PBUH) was an extraordinary personality in his social life. As a businessman, he used to give needy people whatever he earned being extremely generous and encouraging his followers to help people in time of need.

“His farewell sermon Hijatul Wida had outlined the entire agenda of human rights and interfaith harmony. In the last sermon, the holy Prophet (PBUH) declared that no one has any superiority over any other on any basis except by piety and righteousness.
He (PBUH) gave the concept of Tauheed (oneness of Allah), that there was no one worthy of worship except Allah Almighty and belief in the Prophethood of Muhammad (PBUH) was the basis of Islamic faith.
The holy Prophet (SAWW) had declared that killing a person and forceful possession of one’s property was against the teaching of Islam and declared such negative practices as Haram (prohibited). He (PBUH) also called for honoring human lives and declared that protecting the life of an individual was tantamount to the protection of the whole of humanity.
