 The life of Prophet Muhammad(SAW) is full of
moral lessons.
 Some of them are magnanimity and sympathy.
 Means to forgive when you have the power to
punish.
 Sympathy means to pity someone who is in
difficulty or error.
 The Prophet (SAW) Showed these qualities in his
life.
 He taught his followers to emulate him.
 The people of Makah persecuted the prophet
(SAW)when he preached Islam to them.
 They called him all names and hurt him and some
of his followers.
 At last he left Makkah, his hometown, because of
what the people of Makkah did to him.
 During the battle of Badar, the Muslims defeated
the people of Makkah.
 Some of the people were captured.
 The Prophet was advised to kill them, but he did
not.
 Instead, he asked them to teach Muslim children
how to read and write for ransom.
 If he wanted he could kill them. But he was
magnanimous to them.
 Magnanimous: Very kind and generous toward an
enemy or some you have defeated.
 The same thing happened when he captured
Makkah.
 Many of the people of Makkah who persecuted
him and the Muslims were at his mercy.
 They all thought he was going to avenge what
they did to him and his followers.
 Therefore if he wanted he could kill all the
people who persecuted him and his followers.
 He however, pardoned all of them.
