THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad, 11th day of Rajab, 1440, (Sunday, 17th March, 2019). THE MERCIFUL NATURE OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam continues from the reminder yesterday. BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem. His Mercy to Women: Knowing that fragility and tenderness were the nature of women, the Prophet encouraged taking care of women and being kind to them, saying: "Whoever is in charge of these daughters and treats them generously, then they will act as a shield for him from the Hellfire."He sharply stressed the rights of wives and commanded men to look after theirs by saying: "Be good to your wives - they are like captives with you and you do not possess anything from them except this - unless they commit open immorality." The Prophet, (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), set shining examples in being kind to his wives. To help his wives etc. Whenever his daughter Faatimah would come to him, he would kiss her hand and seat her in his place. His Mercy to the Weak in General is second to none. The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) cared for the weak and the servants as they were the most likely to suffer injustice. The Prophet, said with regard to servants: "Your servants are your brothers and ALLAAH has put them under your command. So, whoever has a brother under his command should feed him of what he eats and dress him of what he wears. Do not ask them to do things beyond their capacity and if you do so, then help them. The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) was kind to the orphans and widows, too. He encouraged people to foster orphans, saying: "I and the one who fosters an orphan will be in Paradise as close as these are, while gesturing by drawing his index finger and middle finger close together. He compared the guardian of widows and unprivileged persons to a Mujaahid who fights in the cause of ALLAAH, and to a person who performs prayers all night and fasts all day. He also considered that the presence of unprivileged persons in the Ummah (Muslim nation) and compassion towards them are reasons for earning support from ALLAAH to gain victory over their enemies: The Prophet said: "Seek for me weak persons, for you gain victory and are provided means of sustenance through your weak ones." Allahu Akbar. To be continued in shaa ALLAH tomorrow. May ALLAH keeps guiding us to emulate the qualities of the Prophet sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. Aameen.
