Forbearance and Humility in Discourse

Once, a Jewish person visited Madinah and began arguing with the Holy Prophet (sa), repeatedly addressing him as “O Muhammad.” The Holy Prophet (sa) responded calmly and without reservation, though his Companions became restless at the man’s audacity. Eventually, one Companion objected and asked that he address the Holy Prophet (sa) respectfully.

The Jewish man replied that he would use the name given by his parents. The Holy Prophet (sa) smiled and said, “What he says is true. My parents named me Muhammad. Let him address me by that name and do not show any anger.”

Sincerity over Display in Worship

Some people engage in exaggerated displays to conceal their own faults, attempting to veil their weaknesses while loudly proclaiming their supposed virtues and hardships. Regarding such conduct, God Almighty declares that these deeds do not draw one nearer to Him; rather, they incur His displeasure, as the intention is impure.

Such actions are performed to win the favour of people through public display. These subtle yet profound lessons were imparted by the Holy Prophet (sa), both through his practical example and his verbal admonition.

The Path of Ease over Ostentation

At times, people deliberately place themselves in hardship to deceive others and display supposed extraordinary qualities, claiming great spiritual struggles. Some so-called spiritual leaders even relate such tales. However, the Holy Prophet (sa) chose the path of ease. Those who practise such ostentation only endure hardship to proclaim their own greatness or seek praise.

They do not act for the sake of God Almighty, for He derives no benefit from their suffering, nor do they earn any reward from it. Such actions are meant to deceive people, and deeds performed with ill-intent result in sin rather than reward.

Safeguarding the Faculties from Sin

In the present age, there are countless attractions and desires that draw people towards sin. Watching inappropriate programmes, viewing improper material online, or looking at anything indecent all constitute sin. He taught that the essential matter is safeguarding oneself from such wrongdoing, and it is this restraint that becomes a source of reward.

Offering Prayer with Care and Composure

Nowadays, some people who come for worship offer the Prayer and finish within a few minutes; similarly, when praying at home, they complete it hastily. At times, people ask how the Prayer should be offered. The Prayer must be offered with care and in a befitting manner.

Laiq Ahmad Tahir Sahib, aged 83, passed away. He was a devoted missionary, a Moosi, and leaves behind one daughter and three sons. He completed a Maulwi Fazil degree, specialising in Arabic, and dedicated his life to serving the community. He came to the UK and served as Deputy Imam of the London Mosque, later contributing to many departments in Pakistan. He was a teacher and lecturer in Jamia, serving in multiple roles during the 1970s. In 1986, he served in the USA and returned to the UK as a missionary. He also served as the first principal of Jamia UK.

Imam Sahib Attaul Mujeeb Sahib described him as an exemplary missionary. He emphasised prayers, encouraged people to follow the word of Khilafat, and possessed great humility. His daughter recounts that he would often pray with tears and deep emotion, sometimes receiving guidance from Allah through dreams. He frequently quoted the Promised Messiah on supplicating sincerely in the way of God. May Allah elevate his status and grant him the highest ranks in Jannah.

The Prophet (sa): The Perfect Example

Beloved Huzoor (aba) read out this:

But the man who, in his being, attributes, actions, and through his spiritual and holy faculties, set an example of perfection in knowledge, action, sincerity, and steadfastness— that blessed Prophet—Khatamul-Anbiya’ [the Seal of the Prophets], the Leader of the righteous, the Seal of the Messengers, the Pride of the Prophets—is Muhammad (sa), the Exalted and Chosen One, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. Our Lord, send down on that beloved Prophet that mercy and blessing that You have not sent down on anyone since the beginning of the world.

Justice, Compassion, and Moral Excellence

There are many aspects of the Prophet’s (sa) life demonstrating just and fair dealings, regard for the poor, safeguarding their interests, and exemplary treatment of women, slaves, neighbours, and relatives. He also forgave and overlooked the faults of others, setting a model of moral excellence for all humanity.
