Thanks be to Allah, the
Lord of the worlds. Peace and prayers be upon the
most honorable of all messengers Mohammad; and all his folks, companions, and
followers to the day they are all summoned together.
The topic for today talk
is: the ethics of the prophet (Peace and Prayers Be Upon him PPBU)
One will never do
justice the talking about the prophet’s ethics and good characteristics. But
what can not be achieved in full, the little of it is not to be left out.
Allah has looked into
the hearts of his slaves, and found the best heart is Muhammad’s heart. So
Allah selected it for himself and picked him for delivering the message.
When Hercules, the king
of the Romans asked Abu-Sufian about the messenger (PPBU): he asked: “Does he
betray or treason?” He answered “No”. He couldn’t lie in fear of the king.
Even his enemies could not describe him with something bad. They lied about
him in many occasions when they said about him: “a magician, a poet, a
priest”. Allah said about him: {So, I swear by whatsoever you see, and by
whatsoever you see not, That this is verily the word of an honored messenger.
It is not the word of a poet, little is that you believe!, Nor is it the word
of a soothsayer or foreteller, little is that you remember. This is the
revelation sent down from the Lord of the worlds.}
All his life PPBU (all
his life) lived with every good character and ethic. Amongst people he was the
most knowledgeable, the most just, the most eloquent, most bashful. He was an
example often quoted for trustworthiness, teller of truth, chastity and
purity. He was the wisest, and the most polite, most tolerant. The most
completed with powers, bravery and the most caring. More generous and the most
elevated in status than any other man. In short he had the lion’s share of any
good character one can think of. The first night he received the revelation he
returned to Khadija saying: “I feared for my self”. She replied: “No, Allah
will never shame you. You keep in touch with the kin, carry the fatigued, give
the needy, strengthen the weak and you give support for what is right.”
Before he became a
messenger, and when the Quraish clan rebuilt the Kaaba had a major dispute as
to who would lift the Black stone into its place. They all agreed to let the
next person to arrive the site to arbitrate. The first to approach them was
the then not prophet yet, Muhammad. They said “The trustworthy is here,
Mohammad
