Reading the Prophet's Dery Prophet. 'Adiy said: "They spoke to him privately as he stood with them. They continued for a long time until I moved towards him. I thought: 'I am certain that you are no follower of my religion or the religion of al-Nu 'man ibn al-Mundhir. Had you been a king, no boy and woman could have stopped you as long as this. I felt my heart warming to him." 'Adiy embraced Islam shortly after that. 20. His daily programme shows that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) led a very happy and blessed life. The happiness he derived from faith was of a very high standard which no other person ever achieved. He was the man who knew God best, believed in him as no one else did. On his night journey, he was raised above the seven heavens to a level where he could hear the pens of destiny as they wrote down whatever God ordered. He saw heaven with his own eyes, and wanted to take some of its fruit. He also saw al-Kawthar, a stream in heaven. He discovered that its mud was pure musk and its pebbles were pearls. Can we imagine what fe elings such a prophet would have when he was raised to such a sublime status and how he would pray to his Lord, glorify Him and extol His praises? It is he who said: "I stay with my Lord who fe eds me and gives me to drink." It is not possible to compare his pleasure when he offered his worship or the sweetness of faith he felt to any pleasures or fe eling of happiness in our world. Yet he was happy in his life in this world. We sense this happiness in all aspects of his life. We fe el his appreciation of this happiness and his profound gratitude to God for it. It was God who spared him anxiety and sorrow and protected him from terrible illness. He thus lived in good physical and mental health, enjoying a happy family life . His life was characterised by permanent and total wellbeing. He had the pretty wife who reciprocated his love. He shared with her the purest feelings of love and affection. He had the pure daughter and her two sons who were the greatest blessings in his worldly life. To them he devoted the sweetest parental fe elings. He had the truest of companions, Abu Bakr and 'U mar. He shared with them all life burdens. He often said: "I entered with Abu Bakr and 'Umar; I walked with Abu Bakr and 'Umar; and I went with Abu Bakr and 'Umar." He had a 81
A Dery in the Life of Prophet Muhammad son-in-law who was a close relative and lived close to him. He loved this son-in-law, 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, and he knew that God also loved him. He had other sons-in-law who were faithful to him. They were true in whatever they said to him and fulfilled whatever they promised him. These were 'Uthman ibn 'Affan and Abu al- 'As ibn al-Rabi ' . He had his faithful companions. Divine revelations were given to him commending their faithfulness and what they felt at heart: "God knew what was in their hearts and so He sent down tranquillity upon them." ( 48: 18) Thus, he was most happy with those who were with and around him. He lived a life in which achievements followed one another in quick succession. The greatest happiness in life is that generated by achievement. He then fulfilled his greatest goal in life, which was the delivery of God's message, and saw people embracing the divine faith in large groups. I cannot begin to imagine the happiness the Prophet felt as he saw the congregation in his mosque increasing, and as he saw Islam spreading on earth and people in large numbers declaring their acceptance of Islam. Indeed I cannot describe my own feelings as I try to imagine his feelings on his farewell pilgrimage, when he saw those multitudes who came from all over Arabia declaring to him in one voice: "We bear witness that you have delivered God's message, gave good counsel and fulfilled your assignment." All this was just some of the abundance God gave him. It is He who said to him: "Certainly, in time your Lord will be bounteous to you and you will be well pleased. " (93: 5) 21. We find in his life the appreciation of life's pleasures, the enjoyment of beauty, the gratitude to God for having given him such favours. After a drink he tastes or a bite he eats, he expresses his profound gratitude to God, saying: "Praise be to God, much wholesome and blessed praise. Praise be to God who has given us plenty to eat and much to drink. Our Lord cannot be rewarded or met with ingratitude. We neither turn away from Him nor deny our need of His favours. Our Lord, You are the One who has given us food and drink, riches and possessions, provided us with guidance and life. To You all praise is due for all that You have given us." When he wakes up, he appreciates that God has granted him a good sleep, of ten craved by those who find sleeping difficult. He 82
