The last blog was describing the noble characteristics of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, so that muslims can strive to adopt them.
Part of the noble character of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, was his zeal for worshipping Allah, the Exalted. For example, a Hadith found in Sahih Muslim, number 7124, advises that the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, used to offer such extensive voluntary prayers at night that his blessed feet would become swollen. When questioned about this he simply replied that he desired to be a grateful servant. Even though, such ardent worship is not expected from muslims none the less each person should strive according to their own capacity to prove their gratitude to Allah, the Exalted. This is best achieved by using every blessing such as physical strength according to the teachings of Islam.
The great humility of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, is very well known. It is a key characteristic of true servanthood and the opposite of it namely, pride, will be a cause of one entering Hell even if they only possess an atom’s worth of it. This is confirmed in a Hadith found in Sahih Muslim, number 265. The Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, demonstrated humility throughout his blessed life. For example, a Hadith found in Shama’il E Tirmidhi, number 315, advises that he visited the sick irrespective of if they were poor or not. He attended funerals and accepted the invitation of all especially, the poor. Throughout history these characteristics have always been looked down upon by those who possess pride. But Islam teaches muslims to fulfil these duties and others as they can become a cause of them entering Paradise. This is advised in a Hadith found in Sahih Muslim, number 2374.
