From the information he col-
lected from scholars, Imam al-
Ghazali wrote the following
about the exemplary behaviour of
our Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, towards those around
him:
"… He used to be the first to greet one
whom he met. He did not stand up or
sit down without remembering
Allah...
… He used to call his companions by
their honorifics to honour them and
he used to give honorifics to those
who had none.
… He was very affectionate and kind
in dealing with people."
(Imam al-
Ghazzali's Ihya Ulum-Id-Din)
Surely what we have to emulate is the
noble character of our Prophet, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace.
Those who adopt the values of the
Qur'an and follow the Sunnah of our
Prophet, may Allah
bless him and grant
him peace, can
hope to live a good
life in this world
by Allah's will and
receive a great
blessing from Allah
in the Hereafter.
