HuffJummah: Why the Prophet Muhammad Is So Beloved

type="html" xml:lang="en" xml:base="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/imam-sohaib-sultan/">
This mercy really comes to define the way and path of the Prophet Muhammad. The Prophet's wife, Lady Ayesha, recalled after his passing that he would always be the first to greet his family with peace upon entering the home; constantly serve the members of his household with tasks and chores without complaint; and, he would mend his own clothes and repairs his own shoes. The Prophet would playfully rub the children's heads and encouraged his grandchildren to ride his back like a horse. A smile would come upon his face and he would stand up to greet his beloved daughter Lady Fatimah, the only child of his seven children to live longer than he, when she would come in his presence.

The Prophet's relationship with his community was similar. His companions would say that when he spoke to them they would feel like they were the most beloved to him, and he would direct his full attention to them when they spoke to him. The Prophet preferred to sit and eat with the poor and weak, and he would always be the first to visit the sick and depressed. He showed as much concern for his closest friends as he did for the African woman who swept the floor of the Prophet's Mosque. And, he taught his followers to also resemble this mercy, teaching them to share their food with others even if it was half a date; to remove harm from the path even if it was a small branch; to smile and give cheer even on a bad day; and, to smell nice and clean even if resources were little.

But, it was, perhaps, his way with rude and hostile people that really exemplified the Prophet's mercy. Early on in Muhammad's advent as a Prophet, a woman would throw her garbage on him every time he would pass by her place. One day the woman did not come out, so the Prophet became concerned and inquired about her. Learning that she had become ill, he went to visit her and offered comforting words. Once a Bedouin entered the sacred precincts of the Prophet's mosque when he was with some of his companions and began urinating and defiling the space. The companions immediately rose to physically confront the Bedouin, but the Prophet stood in their way and calmed them down. He asked his companions to wash the mess that was made and took the Bedouin aside to talk to him. He spoke of the sacredness of a worship space and spoke well to the Bedouin until the man exclaimed, "May God have mercy on you and I, and no one else!" The Prophet laughed upon hearing this, and replied, "You have limited something that is immeasurably vast," teaching him that God's mercy envelops all beings.

In the West, the Prophet Muhammad is often portrayed only as a warrior who led and fought in battles. The Prophet was indeed a warrior who defended his community with the courage of a lion. But, it is also true that the Prophet practiced the highest ethics in war by avoiding the killing of innocents, prohibiting torture and mutilation, the poisoning of wells, cutting down fruit-bearing trees, and so on. Even on the battlefield, the Prophet practiced restraint and patience at every turn.

The Prophet's mercy extended to the universe around him. He taught his companions to protect birds; he even consoled grieved animals; and showed endearing concern for the trees and plant life. The Prophet always took little from the earth and taught his followers to preserve water even if they were near a running river.

So, why is the Prophet Muhammad so beloved? It is because, for Muslims and for anyone who comes to know him with love, the Prophet exemplified the life of compassion toward all that was around him. And, even when he was offended and harmed, he showed his followers how to find inner peace with God, to live with grace and dignity under pressure. For this and more, this month we celebrate his birth, life, and legacy. Peace and blessings be upon the Messenger Muhammad, the great teacher of truth and wisdom. ]]>

An Islamic Reflection on Living Life with a Purpose

type="html" xml:lang="en" xml:base="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/imam-sohaib-sultan/">
Three years ago, Ale Nabi returned to his Lord and Creator after a long and difficult battle with Alzheimer's. A couple of weeks ago, I finally had the chance to visit his family in Canada and to visit his grave, to bid him farewell in person. As I stood there in prayer at Ale Nabi uncle's gravesite under the cold rain, what struck me the most was that his grave was completely unmarked -- no name, no dates, no lasting words, nothing. Yet, the feeling of angelic presence around his grave was so powerful and overwhelming. It was a reminder that our true legacy as human beings is not found in what is inscribed on our tombstones when we die, but, rather, in the way that we live life and in the way we make a difference in the lives of people around us.

The Prophet Muhammad taught us that when we die, the wealth and children we have amassed will not go with us in our graves nor will they be of any benefit to us. How true. Yet, too often we work so hard for wealth, status, glory and so much more, believing that our salvation and happiness lies in these accomplishments. But, the Prophet then added, "There are three things that continue to benefit you while you are in the grave: beneficial knowledge you leave behind; the continuously beneficial acts of charity; and a child who prays for you." This prophetic teaching (hadith), sums up how we can live life with a purpose, a purpose that is greater than our own self and ego.

We are all bearers of knowledge and wisdom, some learned through ancient books and sacred manuscripts, others through life experiences. In the last sermon that the Prophet delivered during the Great Pilgrimage (hajj), he said, "All those who listen to me shall pass on my words to others and those to others again; and may the last ones understand my words better than those who listen to me directly." We, therefore, have the responsibility to share whatever knowledge and wisdom we have with others through writing, speaking, teaching or simply imparting it in conversation with loved ones.

We all have the capacity to give of ourselves -- financially and otherwise. These acts of charity have the capacity to change people's lives, and often reach even those we least expected to reach. The man we embraced with a smile and hug goes on to embrace others with the same warmth and kindness; the hospital we donate our money or time or services to, saves the life of a child who goes on to do great things; the depressed woman we offer a listening ear to discovers life is actually worth living, and goes on to give that same inspiration to her children at home. Charity is not an act; it is a way of life. We are called to live lives that are in service of others, and in doing so, we find purpose and meaning in our own.

And following right behind us in our footsteps is the next generation -- whether our own children or those of others. The Quran says, "O you who have attained to faith, remain conscious of God; and let every human being look to what he sends ahead for tomorrow." People who live life with great purpose, live with one eye on the present and one eye on the future, knowing that much of what they work toward will be realized only after their own lifetime. When Martin Luther King Jr. laid down his great vision for an equal and just society, shortly before his assassination, in the "I have a dream" speech, he said, "I may not get there with you," sensing that his own life was coming to an end. Yet, he strived for civil and human rights till the last breath of his life and much of what he inspired the nation to was enacted after his death. So, we too find purpose in life when we work for the generations that are to come after us.

Rumi was once asked to describe a righteous person. Rumi replied that a "righteous person is one who comes out of his mother's womb crying while everyone around him is happy; and goes to his grave happy while others around him are crying." Life is not about what we achieve, but about what we leaving behind in the way of good for others. May we all find our life's purpose and live it out with sincerity and greatness. Amen. ]]>
