Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was born in Saudi Arabia in the city of Makkah about 1400 years ago. Since then, the world has not seen the likes of Him in every regard and the study of human history shows that there have been none better than Him before Him as well. If there is any personality that has lived on the face of this earth who was complete in every regard and the life of whom can serve as a beacon of guidance for people of every walk of life, that personality would undeniably be the personality of Muhammad (PBUH). Muslims follow Him because of Him being the Prophet as their religion and those who do not follow Islam also hold Him at a higher pedestal when it comes to human character.

In the Holy Quran Allah Almighty puts many beautiful descriptions about the Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

لَّقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِى رَسُولِ ٱللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌۭ لِّمَن كَانَ يَرْجُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَ وَذَكَرَ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًۭا

Translation: “Indeed, in the Messenger of Allah, you have an excellent example for whoever has hope in Allah and the Last Day, and remembers Allah often.” (Quran, 33:21)

The main factor that increases value and respect to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in both the Islamic and the non-Islamic circles is His character. He (PBUH) was the best in character and He (PBUH) also said about in one of His (PBUH) hadith in the following way:

“God has sent me to perfect good manners and to do good deeds.” (Bukhari)



Below mentioned are some facts that every Muslims must know & spread about the character of Prophet Muhammad (SAW):

  • Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as selfless as a person could be in life. All His undertakings and motives were just to fulfill the order of Allah Almighty and He did not undertake any action out of His personal desire and will. He lived every day of His life for the sake of Allah and everything which He did was for the Almighty. Every moment of His life was for the sake of Allah and spreading His message.
  • Prophet (PBUH) was the epitome of good manners. Every action that He undertook in life represented the highest morals and manners that a person could exhibit. He (PBUH) was an Ideal being in terms of manners and ethics, the likes of which the world has not seen.
