(There's a lot so I'll be writing it up in parts insha'allah).
These are lessons we can learn from the Prophet ﷺ life:
-That people will always punish you for justice, truth, valour.
-Intolerance will always have a place in society.
-The Prophet (SAW) was a demonstration of how other people are trials. From his family to the sahaba to the polytheists to the Persians, he displayed patience with them always.
-The Prophet also demonstrated how patience leads to rewards. He buried his wife, children and grandson with his hands during his lifetime yet Allah guaranteed him the best house in paradise; he was comforted by going to al-Aqsa and leading every Prophet in a 2-rakah (thus his title Seal of the Prophets) and having the elite honour of being in Allah's presence; he was given the Kawthar; yet most importantly he was most happy to see his ummah doing prayer in jamah perfectly on his last day of Earth.
-The Battles the Prophet fought were not as much physical than psychological. Because of the Prophet's conviction, Allah sent angels to him numerous times or caued natural events to occur that caused the enemy to surrender. Always, the ratio of the Muslims was always uneven, the average ratio being 3 muslims to 10 non muslims in a war.
-The Prophet showed the manner of diplomacy and honouring one's promises at the Treaty of Hudaybiyah.
-The Prophet was also corrected in the Qur'an numerous times for showing slight impatience, as seen in surah Abasa and Qiyamah. This shows that the Prophet too was human. Allah correcting the Prophet also shows to us how we should correct others of their mistakes.
-The Prophet was the perfect example of a father, leader and Muslim. Allah had sent him specifically to make both man and jinn to learn how fatherhood, leadership and worship should be done. As a father, the Prophet was very gentle and never hit his children. As a leader, the Prophet was very gentle and never reacted severly with anyone's mistakes. As a worshipper, he was the first to do any good deed yet the last to claim any rewards.
-His forced expulsion from Makkah demonstrated his conviction once again.
-His migration also shows us that intellect and tawakkul is required in life. Him and Abu Bakr carefully planned out their journey and had the assistance of Allah.
-His miracles demonstrated that some people will never believe you even if you procure the most striking evidence. He split moon in half by Allah's permission yet the non muslims still did not embrace Islam. They refused by saying that our Prophet's miracles 'were sorcery, deception etc.' In fact, NASA confirmed that the moon had been once split as there was a single continous crack along the middle.
-His marriage to Khadija demonstrated that age did not matter; love and loyalty did. Love in their marriage did not know age or wealth.
-He always played with children and absolutely loved them. He would play with the Abyssinian children in the mosque and try speaking in their own language. He used to play as a horse with his grandchildren (Hassan and Hussain). He only slightly held Anas (RA) by the ear for banter as he forgot to do an errand. He would kiss his grandsons and children when it was a strange custom in Arabia. He loved his daughters very dearly when daughters were seen as a burden and a liabilty paid off once they got married. Fatima (RA) was known as the 'mother of her father' as she would constantly mother the Prophet (SAW)
-His sense of justice involved strictness when needed and mercy when required. When a sahabi accidently killed an enemy that apparently embraced Islam, the Prophet became very upset with the sahabi. However, when it came to the captives of Badr he released them all.
-His life also demonstrated how he loved simplicity and was always humble.
-He was the embodiment of manners and a good nature at a time when manners were non-existent. People ate with both of their hands; hygiene wasn't known; people would just drop in at their friends house without invitation and burden them.
-His sense of justice was always fair; he would help the lower class and also the upper class. He was the first person in history to effectively implement equality between races and classes.
-He showed the world what tolerance and peace meant.
-He was never above the people, and certainly was not an autocratic leader.
-In summation, he ﷺ was the best of all creations. "Wa ma arsalnaaka illa raHmatul lil3alameen (And we sent you not except as a mercy to the worlds)."
-Brothers and sisters, how proud do we feel that the best of all creation is OUR Prophet? How proud? This is the man who revolutionised the entire world until the Day of Judgement. He is the one who led EVERY prophet in a 2 cycle nafil prayer at masjid al aqsa. So what are we doing to make HIM proud of us?
-May Allah allow us to get near the status of the Prophet ﷺ ; may He facilitate ease for us to follow his sunnah; may Allah rid the Earth from this plague; may He protect us all and guide us; may Allah have mercy on the Muslims all around the world and ease their pains.
