Page 81 - The Prophet Muhammad (saas)

The only way to lead an honourable life in this

world is to abide by the superior morality of the Prophet
(saas), as revealed by Allah in the Qur'an. It is a clear fact that all
other paths lead to nothing but loss in this world and the next.

Some of those who surrounded the Prophet (saas) were less
than well-mannered and cultured. It can be seen from a number of
verses that they could not understand how thoughtless they were
and that their behavior could make others uncomfortable. For in-
stance, verses speak of people entering houses by the back instead of
the front, arriving when the Prophet (saas) was dining, or else taking
up his time by talking for a long time. The Prophet Muhammad
(saas), on the other hand, was very thoughtful, courteous, patient
and civilized, and treated such people nevertheless with the greatest
tolerance. Also, in the most pleasant manner, he warned those
around him against behavior that would make others uncomfort-
able, and thus won their sympathy, teaching them through patience
and perseverence. That comportment made him an excellent exam-
ple for all believers.
Our Lord, Who possesses infinite love and compassion, as-
sisted the Prophet (saas) in this matter and supported him with the
verses, one of which says:
