![Know Thy Prophet - ROMAN EMPEROR EXAMINES THE PROOFS There was a Christian in the court who knew Arabic, who translated it for Heraclius. Hisham explained that his greetings (Assalamualaikum [May Allah’s mercy be upon you]) were not meant for Christians or non Muslims. Heraclius then asked, “How do you greet each other?” Hisham replied, “Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu”. Heraclius asked, “Then how do you greet your seniors or ruler?” Hisham explained, “The same greetings with which we greet common people.”. Heraclius wanted to know more, so he asked, “How do you reply to the greetings?” Hisham said, “Walaykumussalam warahmatullahi wabarakutuhu.” Heraclius asked, “How do your seniors and ruler respond to your greetings?” Hisham replied, “Same as the commoners.” Hercaclius then continued, “Which are the most valued words in your sight?” Hisham said, “La ilaha Illa Allah , Allahuakbar” The moment he uttered these words, there was a tremor that shook the entire court. Heraclius asked, “Do you always experience such tremors in your cities when you recite these words?” Hisham said, “No. This is the first time we have experienced them.” Heraclius said, “Our prophet foretold us that one day these words of Touhid would bring victory (to others) over our kingdom and palace.” The two were kept with honour and they returned after conveying their message. #Knowthyprophet #islam #islamicpost #islamic #prophetic #prophetmuhammad #Muhammad #prophet #islamicreminder #Messenger #Allah #SahihBukhari](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/6a/d5/94/6ad594274fc603f384fc3b11dd5a2697.jpg)

![Know Thy Prophet - I) RELATIVES - FIRST OPTION FOR CHARITY It is easy to be good to the needy strangers but difficult to maintain the attitude of goodness towards the needy close relatives; Either because of differences with them, or because of their hurtful behaviour. As long as you are good towards them, they will be nice to you but even a little misstep from your side leads them to turn against you. It is indeed a very high level of character to overlook such hurtful and thankless behaviour and continue doing good to your relatives. The Prophet SAW said: The one who maintains ties of kinship is not the one who reciprocates. The one who maintains ties of kinship is the one who, when his relatives cut him off, maintains ties of kinship. Al-Adab Al-Mafrad: 68 A man came to the Prophet SAW and said: O Messenger of Allah! I have relatives with whom I try to keep in touch, but they cut me off; I treat them well, but they treat me badly; I try to be kind to them, but they are cruel to me. He said: If you are as you say, it is as if you are putting hot ashes in their mouths. You will continue to have support from Allah against them so long as you continue doing that. Reported by Muslim, no. 2558 Never abandon your good Akhlaq (character) because of hurtful behaviour of others Uqbah ibn Amir (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet SAW said to me, “Should I inform you about those deeds which are best among the virtuous deeds?” I replied in affirmative. The Prophet SAW said, “They are three; first is to be good towards those relatives who break off their ties with you. Secondly, pardon those people who commit atrocity upon you and thirdly, give even to those who do not give to you”. Taking revenge (for self) is not encouraged in Islam. Consider this: You requested help from someone but he refused. When he comes to you for help after that, you probably would not like to extend help but Islam teaches us not to refuse him and to extend him help as much as we can. There is a beautiful example in the Qur’an regarding this. A rumour was spread by some hypocrites, slandering Aisha, the wife of the Prophet SAW Mistah was a cousin of Abu Bakr. He was the son of Abu Bakr’s maternal aunt, and a poor man with no wealth except whatever Abu Bakr spent on him. He was one of those who had migrated for the sake of Allah, but he was amongst those who mistakenly participated in spreading the rumour slandering Aishah. Abu Bakr was known for his generosity and he extended assistance (of all kinds) to his relatives and strangers alike. When Allah revealed the ayah to declare Aishah’s innocence, reprimanding those who participated in spreading the rumour, Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) swore that he would not help Mistah anymore. In fact, he said, “By Allah, I will never spend on him (again)” ,and in another version, “By Allah, I will never provide for Mistah anything after what he has said about Aishah.” Then Allah revealed: And let not those among you who are blessed with graces and wealth swear not to give to their kinsmen, al-Masaakeen [the poor], and those who left their homes for Allah’s Cause. Let them pardon and forgive. Do you not love that Allah should forgive you? And Allah is Al-Ghafur (the Most-Forgiving), Ar-Raheem (the Most Merciful). Surah Noor, verse 22 Islam prefers generosity in mutual dealings and also when pardoning other people’s faults. This is an important lesson in character building of Muslims. A person who harmed a person like Abu Bakr and Aisha (May Allah be pleased with them) is also being asked to be forgiven. The lesson is not to stop doing good deeds because someone has harmed you. A good Muslim is supposed to forgive and pardon and in return he is given the glad tidings of being pardoned by Allah. The moment the verse was revealed, Prophet SAW called upon Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) and corrected him. Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) responded in a humble manner and accepted the command of Allah, with a hope that he, too, would be pardoned by Allah in return. Another narration says that Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) ordered his men to be more generous towards Mistah and give him more than usual because he was aware of the virtues of pardoning people.
