*Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala describes the personality of Hazrat Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam in these words: “And you stand on an exalted standard of character” (Holy Qur’an 68: ayat 4). Thus in the words of Allah Ta’ala, the standard of his character and personality is far above that of any other creation. He possessed the best and noblest qualities of the perfect man and was like a jewel illuminating the dark environment with his radiant personality, ideal example and glorious message. *
*Someone once enquired about his character and manners from Bibi Aisha Radiyallahu Anha, and she replied that the Qur’aan was his character. This means that not only did he verbally teach the Qur’aan to the people, but practised it and was himself a perfect example of the Qur’aan in practice. Whatever the Holy Qur’aan commands, he obeyed and whatever it forbids, he abstained from it more than anyone else. Hazrat Jabir Radiyallahu Anhu reports that the Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said:“Allah has sent me to perfect good qualities and to complete good deeds”. The Holy Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is thus a true example of a perfect man. He lived the life of an ordinary man. He helped the poor, orphans and widows. He was kind to the weak and hospitable to strangers and travellers. He suffered from all but harmed none. He was affectionate and loving towards his friends and forgiving and merciful towards his enemies. He was sincere and honest in his mission; good and fair in his dealings; and just in deciding affairs of friends as well as of enemies. In short, all goodness and excellence have been combined in the person and personality of Hazrat Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. *
*Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala clearly mentions this aspect of life: * “We have indeed, in the Messenger of Allah, a good example (of conduct) for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the Final Day.” [Holy Qur’an 33: ayat 21]
Now based on these facts which i wholly and solely believe .. we were having a discussion today with some christian friends of ours. The asked Questions like Was Prophet Mohammad (p.b.u.h) the perfect Human being in the sense that he was faultless? did he not nauzubillah commit any error being human since humans are prone to error? Is it wrong for us to think as such?
This by no means naozubillah any sort of disrespect.. and i seek repentence if i said somin wrong in regards to the discussion i was having with my friends.. but the whole point was to try to educate them of our beliefs. i would like to learn more on it from learned members here..
Re: Prophet Mohammad(p.b.u.h) the perfect Human Being.. ?
Why a question mark in the title?
Not that I am a learnt member here but here are my 2 cents.
I don’t exactly get what you mean by ‘faultless’ or ‘prone to error’ but what I learnt was that Prophets can sin but they choose not to because they know they are answerable to Allah. No they are not robots programmed to be sinless, they are humans but they choose not to sin. That’s the level they are at.
Well, at least that’s what I learnt. Hope that helps.
Re: Prophet Mohammad(p.b.u.h) the perfect Human Being.. ?
All of the Prophets are masoom (infallable/sinless). They dont commit any sins. They are masoom from the time they are born, not just when they are given the Prophethood. But they can make a mistake but if they do make a mistake, they are corrected by Allah right awy through the wahi.
