The Humility of the Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ

Before his departure from this world, the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم announced in a gathering: “If I am indebted to someone, or if I have caused harm to someone’s life, wealth or honour, then my life, wealth and honour is present. He can take his revenge in this world. Do not think I will be unhappy with such a person; that is not befitting of me. If someone has a right over me, I would like it greatly if they seek its fulfilment or forgive me.” Then, he said, “O people! The person who is responsible for fulfilling a right must deliver it. Do not be discouraged if it causes disgrace and humiliation, for the humiliation of this world is easier to bear than that of the Hereafter."^[1]

Becoming Wealthy through Good Deeds

Dear Islamic brothers, سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه! You heard how much importance the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم gave to the rights of people. This is the esteemed individual who never violated the rights of anybody during the 63 years of his blessed life, displayed extraordinary character, and fulfilled the rights of his family and the people of the community; the one who went above and beyond in the fulfilment of rights; the one about whom we cannot even think that he would suppress someone’s right or delay its fulfilment; the personality who fulfilled the rights of others before the required time with patience and forbearance, as opposed to being unwilling and displeased.

The noble companions عَـلَيْهِمُ الرِّضْوَانْ knew the importance of the rights of others from the actions and speech of the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and thus, they did not fall short in this matter. May our lives be sacrificed upon his fear of Allah, his concern for the Hereafter, and his humility.
