what is meant by simplicity and humanity in the life of hazrat Muhammad's (ASW)
Answers
Explanation:
Whether you live in a “first world” country or not, everyone has problems. As humans we have a constant want. No matter how wealthy one becomes, the itch to want more does not go away. The Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him was a simple man. He ate from whatever was available, sat on the floor without hesitation, did not require salutes from an army, and was not one who chased the material of this world. One day a man was so nervous to meet the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. The Prophet responded: “Do not trouble yourself! Indeed I am not a king. Rather I am merely the son of a Qurayshi woman who eats dry meat.” (Ibn Maja). He always emphasized his humanity and admonished people who over-revered him. He said: “Do not over praise me as the Christians over-praised Jesus the son of Maryam. Indeed, I am only a slave. So call me the Slave of Allah and His Messenger.” (Bukhari).
The Prophet was not one who chased this world, rather he found joy in being among those who were less fortunate. Being in the presence of the poor, orphans, and weak has an impact on the heart and the way one views the world. It creates a sense of minimalism and thankfulness for the simple things in life that most take for granted. The Prophet peace be upon him said: “My Lord – the Mighty and Majestic – gave me the choice that the valley of Makkah be filled with gold, but I said: No! O Lord. However, grant food to me one day, and hunger the day after. So when I am hungry I humble myself before You and remember You, and when I am full, I am grateful to You.” (Tirmidhi).
The Prophet’s simplicity did not disappear when he became the undisputed leader of the Arabian peninsula at the end of his Prophetic career. His Companion Umar once visited him and saw him sleeping on a mat of branches. Umar could not hold back his tears and stated: O Messenger of Allah, how can we allow you to live like this? Look at the kings of Roman, Persia. Look at how they live. Surely O Messenger of Allah, you deserve better. The Prophet peace be upon him responded: O Umar, is this why we are here for? O Umar, aren’t you happy that they have this ‘Dunia’ (this life) and we have the ‘Akhira’ (the afterlife)? (Bukhari).
