Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)
(one from the faith of the Prophet Abraham (pbuh)), and whoever
opposes my Sunna is not one of us." (Al Jami As Sagir, 1. 427)
Elsewhere he tells believers "I was sent to be compassionate
and a peace-maker..." (Al Jami As Sagir). This superior moral
virtue of our Prophet (May Allah bless him and grant him
peace) is expressed as follows: "Someone who responds with
gentleness (who controls his earthly passion) when angered will
merit the love of Allah!" (Esbahani: Hazrat Aysha)
There are many hadith concerning the compassionate,
loving and tolerant qualities of our Prophet (may Allah bless
him and grant him peace). For example, the Prophet (may
Allah bless him and grant him peace) says: "Allah will have no
compassion on he who has no compassion for other people."
(Bukhari and Muslim) Other passages read: "Be merciful, that
you may be shown mercy. Forgive, that you may be forgiven. Shame
on those who speak too much. Shame on those who know their sins
but persist in them." (Ahmad Diya ad-Din al-Kamushkhanawi,
Ramuz al-Ahadith, Vol. 1)
"Allah is loving and merciful, He loves gentleness, and what He
gives from gentleness He gives with nothing else." (Al-Kutub As-
Sittah Translation and Commentary, Vol. 7)
The great Islamic scholar Imam Ghazzali summarizes
the information he collected in the hadith regarding our
Prophet's (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) attitude
to those around him: "He was far from knowing anger and quick-
ly showed compassion for things. He was the most loving of men to-
ward other people. He was the most auspicious of men and did the
most good to others, and the most useful and beneficial to others."
(Hujjat-ul-Islam, Imam Ghazzali, Ihya Ulum-id-din, Vol. 2)
