Prophet Muhammad's (P.B.U.

H ) relation with:

Opponents:
The Prophet Muhammad faced opposition from various factions in Mecca, particularly from the leaders
of the Quraysh tribe.

Despite the opposition, he maintained a patient and kind attitude, inviting them to Islam through
peaceful means.

Many opponents eventually converted to Islam, including prominent figures such as Abu Bakr, Umar ibn
al-Khattab, and Uthman ibn Affan..

Despite facing opposition and persecution from some leaders of the Quraysh tribe in Mecca, the
Prophet Muhammad continued to preach the message of monotheism and peace.

He showed great patience and forgiveness even when faced with hostility, never responding with
aggression.

The Treaty of Hudaybiyyah is a notable example of the Prophet's peaceful approach. Despite its
apparent disadvantages, the treaty led to long-term benefits and the eventual acceptance of Islam by
many of it.

Quran, Surah Al-Furqan, Verse 63: "The true servants of the Merciful One are those who walk on the
earth gently and when the foolish ones address them, they simply say: "Peace to you".

Slaves:
The Prophet stressed the importance of treating slaves with kindness and compassion. He taught that
they should be provided with adequate food, clothing, and shelter, and that they should not be given
tasks beyond their capacity.

The Prophet emphasized the spiritual equality of all believers, regardless of their social status. He
said, "Your slaves are your brethren upon whom Allah has given you authority. So, if one has one's
brethren under one's control, one should feed them with the like of what one eats and clothe them with
the like of what one wears. You should not overburden them with what they cannot bear, and if you do
so, help them in their hard job."

The Prophet Muhammad encouraged slaves to seek knowledge and even allowed them to teach others.
For example, Zayd ibn Thabit, a freed slave, became one of the Prophet's scribes and played a
significant role in compiling the Quran.

The Prophet personally treated slaves with respect and kindness. He would eat and sit with them,
showing that they were valued members of the community

The Prophet's teachings elevated the status of slaves in society, encouraging their liberation and
integration.

Animals:
The Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) exemplified kindness and mercy towards animals.

The Prophet prohibited causing unnecessary harm to animals. He forbade mutilating animals, such as
cutting their ears or tails, and using them for target practice

The Prophet assured his followers that acts of kindness towards animals would be rewarded by God.
He mentioned that a woman from the past was granted Paradise due to her act of giving water to a dog

The Prophet's personal actions demonstrated his love and concern for animals. He was gentle with
them and treated them as beings deserving of respect and care.

The Hungry Camel: There's a well-known incident where the Prophet Muhammad admonished a
man for overloading his camel and not providing it with proper care. This emphasizes the importance of
treating animals with kindness and providing for their needs.

Wives:
Marriage to Hazrat Khadijah: Prophet's (S.A.W) marriage to Hazrat Khadijah was marked by deep love
and support. Hazrat Khadijah was the first person to accept his prophethood and stood by him during
the challenging early years of his mission.

Marriage to Hazrat Aisha: Prophet's (S.A.W) marriage to Hazrat Aisha was significant for the insight it
provided into his personal life. Hazrat Aisha's role as a narrator of hadiths contributed to the
preservation of the Prophet's teachings.

Marriage to Hazrat Safiyyah: The Prophet's (S.A.W) marriage to Hazrat Safiyyah, a Jewish woman, not
only reflected his openness to diverse backgrounds but also demonstrated his commitment to ending
racial prejudices.

These marriages served various purposes, including building relationships with other tribes, fostering
unity among the Muslim community, and demonstrating how to treat widows and divorced women with
kindness and respect. The Prophet's marriages were not merely personal matters but often held
broader societal and spiritual significance.
Surely the Prophet has a greater claim over the believers than they have over each other, and his wives
are their mothers.(33:6)(Surah Al-Ahzab )
