The Prophet Muhammad SAW, A mercy for all creation

"Indeed, in this [Qur'an] is notification for a worshipping people." "And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds." (Sûrah 21:106 107)

The Messenger of Allah was the most gracious man of all time, just as he also everyone else in courage and bravery surpassed. He was extremely kind and his eyes were brimming with tears at the smallest sign of inhumanity. A fellow called Schaddâd ibn from reported that the Messenger of Allah said: "Allâh you told, to be kind to everyone. If you to kill you, kill in the best way; you slaughter, slaughter gently. If one has to slaughter an animal of you, he should first sharpen his blade and well calm the animal." Ibnu ' Abbâs tells that a man threw a goat on the page and began then to sharpen his knife. As the Prophet saw this, he said: "you want to kill them twice? Why you did not sharpen your knife before you threw them to the ground?"

A mercy to the believers

The mercy of the Messenger the faithful against reached the highest possible level. The Qurân describes his mercy in the following verse: "There has certainly come to you a Messenger from among yourselves. Grievous to him is what you suffer; [he is] concerned over you and to the believers is kind and merciful." (Sûrah 9:128)

Sa'd Ibnu ' Ubadah ill once. Therefore, the Messenger of Allah visited him in his house. When he saw his condition causing faithful companions in a pity, the tears came him. Then he said: "Allâh punished not because of tears, because of grief, but because of this." And he suggested this on his tongue. (Al Bukhari)

A mercy for his enemies

The prisoners of war in the battle of BADR were among his most bitter enemies. Nevertheless, he provided sure that you experienced the best treatment. Among them was Suhail Ibn ' AMR, who was a fiery orator and the Prophet  had denounced.' Umar, one of the close companions of the Prophet, suggested that should be removed two of his lower teeth, that he might be not so despicable in his speeches. The Prophet replied: "I would do this, Allâh would disfigure me on the day of judgement, despite the fact that I am his apostle."

In Makka all possible torments inflicted on him. Finally, he was forced to immigrate to Madîna. Then he led against his enemies from Makka war for five years. He conquered Makkah but without bloodshed in the 21st year of his Prophethood, he asked the makkanischen Pagans, awaiting his judgment about it: "what do you expect, how I should treat you?" They said unanimously: "You are a nobleman, the son of a noble." He proclaimed them his decision: "you are free! No blame should weigh in today on you; Allâh may forgive you."

A mercy for the women

The Prophet Muhammad was also very kind and loving to the women. Women were treated at that time normally very badly.The noble Prophet gave them honor and dignity, equal to the men of the community. ' Umar point: "we had not much left over for women, when we were in Makkah, but they were better treated at Madîna. Messenger has established with his speeches and commands the women improved their position and their position."

A mercy to the children

Messenger was especially merciful with the children. He saw a child crying, he sat down next to it and shared his feelings. He felt the pain of a mother for her child more than the mother herself. Once he said: "I stand in prayer and hope to extend it. When I listen to cry but a child I shorten the prayer because of the concern that the mother feels." (Al Bukhari)

He took the children in his arms and pressed it in itself. Once he embraced his beloved grandchildren, Hasan and Husain. Aqra' ibn Hâbis said to him: "I have ten children. So far I've kissed none."Messenger  replied: "who is other no mercy, no mercy is given."(Al Bukhari and Muslim)

According to a different wording, he said: "What can I for you do when Allâh took friends the feeling of mercy?" (At-Tirmidhî)

A mercy to the slaves

Prophet the benevolent and generous treatment of slaves, servants and workers who were busy with physical work strictly ordered. Jaber  reported that Messenger said: "Give them the food that you eat, clothing them with what attracts you and makes no problems the creatures of Allah." The Messenger said: "those are your brothers, which made conditional on you Allâh.One, whose Bruder was subordinated to him, to feed it with the, which he himself eats and dress him with what he himself draws. He may not command him, what he is incapable. If it imposes something heavy on him, so he should help him to do the work."

Mercy for animals

His mercy encompassed not only people but also animals. The Prophet forbade his companions to have also the unintelligenten creatures, not hungry or thirsty, to bother you nor to overload. He ordered them at your own pace and easier for them to approach Allâh by means of meritorious deeds. Abu Huraira point out, that the Prophet  said: "while a man was on the road, it came over a very strong thirst. When he saw a water fountain, he climbed down into it and drank from the water. As soon as he was but climbed out from the well, he found a dog that ate the sand with lechzender tongue out of thirst. The man said to himself: 'This dog is on the basis of thirst in the same situation where I previously was.' He climbed down again, his leather stocking filled with water, holding it with his teeth (climbed), and made the dog drink. "Allâh thanked him (for this fact) and forgave him (his sins)!"The people said: "O of Messenger of Allah, we will be rewarded for the animals?" The Prophet said: "For every living thing you'll be rewarded!"

' Abdullah ibn ' Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah  said: "a woman was punished because of a cat, because she so long imprisoned them, until she starved. She went for it in the fires of hell. ... ' You have her neither food nor anything given to drink, as you einsperrtest it up, yet you let it go, so would can feed on the animals of the Earth.'" "

Once some companions on the journey home took the nestlings of a bird out of the nest by campaigning to caress them, the mother bird came back and saw that the birds were not in the nest. Therefore, the bird began yelling back and forth flutter. As the Prophet has been informed about the matter, he became angry and ordered to cover the chicks in their nest. (Abû Dâwûd)

Final word

The love and the mercy of the Messenger of Allah rather than the what the "humanists" nowadays say they daily for all kinds of creatures. He was sincere and balanced in his mercy and love.He was kinder than any other human being ever was. He was a prophet, brought up by Allâh, the creator and protector of all beings; a Prophet who was responsible for the management and bliss conscious beings - the man and the Jinn - and for the harmony of existence. Therefore he lived not for herself but for others, as a mercy to all the worlds.
