His example of integrity, loyalty, honesty, generosity, both of means and of time his solicitude for the poor, the weak and the sick his steadfastness in friendship his humility in success his magnanimity in victory his simplicity his wisdom in conceiving new solutions for problems which could not be solved by traditional methods without affecting the fundamental concepts of Islam – surely all these are foundations which, correctly understood and sincerely interpreted, must enable us to conceive what should be a truly modern and dynamic Islamic society in the years ahead.” – International Seerat Conference, Karachi, Pakistan, 1976. “The Holy Prophet's life gives us every fundamental guideline that we require to resolve the problem as successfully as our human minds and intellects can visualise.
In observing Milad-un-Nabi, it is timely to revisit Mawlana Hazar Imam's reflections on the relevance of the Prophet's life to modern Islamic society: Live broadcast will begin at 6:45pm India time on Sunday, 17 October 2021. Many Muslims came forward to share their material resources, as well as their time and talent, to help the Prophet stabilise and strengthen the institutions of din and dunya – faith and society. On 12 th Rabi-ul-Awwal 1441H, the auspicious occasion of Milad-un-Nabi SA, Mumineen are urged to follow these amal details: Syedna Taher Fakhruddin TUS will preside over Khushi Majlis and deliver Bayaan Mubarak on Milad un Nabi SA Raat. He was able to overcome these through his own example of tolerance, trustworthiness and compassion, and, above all, because of the manifest justice of the message he delivered. The Prophet faced considerable social and cultural challenges, given the prevailing norms and customs in Arabia. He emphasised the dignity of humankind through care for the poor and marginalised, the importance of justice and equity in building a peaceful society, and he cultivated a pluralist outlook in which human diversity was valued and cherished.
While he led the ummah through the interpretation of faith, his leadership also brought about a new ethical outlook – an Islamic social conscience inspired by Allah's revelation. Just as you cannot master a stubborn riding beast without weakening it through hunger, for when it eats its fill, it becomes strong, stubborn and rebellious, so it is the same with the soul.Prophet Muhammad's life established a paradigm which Muslims have looked to over the past 1400 years. The fifth and greatest benefit is the breaking of all of one’s desires for sin and in achieving mastery over the soul, which commands evil. To remember those who are hungry and needy will create kindness, and cause the heart to move towards feeding the hungry, and charity towards God’s creatures. The fourth benefit is that one never forgets those who are afflicted by trials. For this reason, when the world and all its treasures were offered to our Holy Prophet ﷺ, he said “No! Instead, I shall be hungry on alternate days, so that when I am hungry, I have patient endurance, and I when I eat my fill, I have gratitude.” The third benefit is that the soul realizes its helplessness, which causes it to have complete trust in its Lord. Shaykh Said Abu Sulayman (QSA) said “when the heart is hungry and thirsty, it becomes clear and soft, whereas when it is full, it becomes blind and rough.”
The second benefit is hunger softens the heart. The Holy Prophet ﷺ said “when a man causes his belly to hunger, he causes his mind to think powerfully and his heart to grow in wisdom.”
The first benefit of hunger is the purification of the heart.
