As-salamu alaykum and hello everyone ♡ First of all Salam Malidurasul to all my Muslim readers! Praise to Allah and Alhamdulilah we can celebrate again our beloved Prophet Muhammad born day. I dedicating my post for today for my beloved Prophet. I still remember back in the days when I was in Primary school where we will all gather and will walk around town to give selawat upon him. After that we will eat a porridge made by our teachers togethr. It was sweet.
Let's talk a little bit about our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He was born in Mecca and he lost his father shortly after he was born and when he was 6 years old, he lost his mother. He was raised by his uncle, and he work as a shepherd. At the age of 25 he is married to a widow who is 15 years old older than him. He love Khadijah so much and God comforted him through her, for she made his burden light. In the late 30s our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) visited Mount Hira and it is located on the outskirts of Mecca, to seek solitude and contemplation. When he was 40s he was visited by Gabriel (Jibrael) , an angle send by Allah to give him wahyu. Gabriel send a message from Allah telling him about Islam. Prophet Muhammad went home and tell his wife and Khadijah was the first person and women who converted to Islam by our Prophet (peace be upon him)
Proclaim in the name of your Lord who created!
Created man from a clot of blood.
Proclaim: Your Lord is the Most Generous,
Who teaches by the pen;
Teaches man what he knew not. (Qur'an 96:1-3)
To the support of his beloved wife Khadijah and a few more visit from Gabriel, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) start on his journey to spread Islam. Lots of ups and down and miracle that we can never image in our life if that would happen to us have been struggled by our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He was thrown with dirt, stone, thrown into prison, refused service by merchants and mocked. But he never give up. He was always careful to clarify his role in God's work - he was only a prophet. He was not an angel, he did not know the mind of God, he did not work miracles. He simply preached what he had received. Continues to his journey that will blow our mind. SubahanaAllah to his sacrifices and Alhamdulilah Islam is still here with us even we have been in this era where people though we are terrorist, a bad influence and other negative thought. Islam is simple and clean to me. Is just there certain people who claim to be Muslim but never practice the way of Islam should really be and give bad images to Muslim. Too much of procrastination.

ReplyDeleteSalam Maulidur Rasul Iqa! <3
DeleteInteresting... If "it is just a way how we should be manner and eat steps have its own logic and scientific good reasons!' I am keen to learn more on the "scientific good reasons". Maybe you can do a follow up post on this :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Laura! Thank you for your interest, it is simple. for example "Eat with three fingers if possible" practice us not to be greedy and eat fast because eating in fast motion causes a person to be hungry fast. Its also consist in part when cleanliness and manner upon our way of eating. and another example is "After drinking say "Alhamdullilah" " reminds us to always be grateful. all of the sunnah may look simple of its a common thing but we sometime forgot to practice this. So practice make perfect, without knowing it, you actually practicing to be well mannered. :)
DeleteOh and its my bad, typo there. Its each step, not eat step. so sorry, and i have corrected it.
