Give me all these pains, but NOT to MY PEOPLE.РІР‚Сњ РІР‚СљO Allah (subhana watala) how great is this sakaratul maut (agony of death). РІР‚СљNot for a while,РІР‚Сњ then Rasulullah sallalahu alaihi wasalam uttered a groan because of unbearable pain.

РІР‚СљWho is the one who could see Habibullah in His sakaratul maut(agony of death) ,РІР‚Сњ Jibrail said. РІР‚СљAm I repugnant to you that you turn your face back O Jibrail?РІР‚Сњ Rasulullah sallalahu alaihi wasalam asked. At the moment his soul was about to leave his body, the angel, Gabriel turned his face way. It was narrated (source to be verified), the pain of death was the worst that even the Prophet was tormented. Indeed he is the greatest messenger, since he cares so much of his followers.

I keep mine for the day of resurrection as an intercession for my ummahРІР‚Сњ. The Prophet once said: РІР‚СљFor each messenger there is an accepted prayer. Still in pain and sadness at the rejection, the Prophet simply denied this kind offer and said: РІР‚ВNo, I would rather have someone from their loins(meaning, their progeny) who will (accept the message) and worship Allah the Almighty.РІР‚в„ў Archangel Gabriel descended and offered to flatten the entire land of Taif with its people due to their arrogance. He was walking back to Mecca, the people have turned him away, his feet bleeding till his shoes were completely filled with clots, making it difficult for him to walk. Sadly, they even refused to listen to his speech! Instead they sent their young children by the roadside, to jeer and throw stones at him, till he bled. Not a single household, out of all people, young and old, male and female population of Taif accepted his preaching. However things turned out against his favour. He undertook a journey by foot to Taif, hoping that he will meet at least some people who will listen to his message, or offer help to boost his struggle. One fine day, after a string of attacks and boycott the people accorded him, Muhammad decided to survey a new ground for his dakwah. Just imagine, what went on in the mind of Abu Jahal, AbuLahab and Abu Sufian when the Prophet ceaselessly frequented their doors to speak about the message countless of times, no wonder, it did happen on oneР’В occasionР’В when one of them became РІР‚ВdisorientedРІР‚в„ў and fell into prostration while the Prophet was reciting some verses of the QuranРІР‚В¦he was later rebuked severely by his colleagues. It was his persistence, beyond anything a person could endure, for instance, he would go on knocking every door of the houses in Mecca, never felt intimidated at the reaction and resistance of the Quraysh. However where he differed from any man, is his strong resolve, his determination, his unwavering spirit to spread the message, nothing deterred him, not a death threat, not the hatred of his people, not the pessimism of his uncle Abu Talib, and not even the tempting offer and bargain Abu Jahal and Lahab made on him. He made jokes, even challenged his wife for a race, played with the children to keep them entertained. When he engaged in the battle as the military leader, he was himself injured and bled. He walked the path that any ordinary person living in Mecca would. He suffered physically as any person, he cried when his son died, emotive at the death of his beloved uncle. He lived a modest life as a young man, engaged in a job as a shepherd, then followed his uncle in travel and trade.

Is it not a shame, on the day the world is commemorating this great personality, we are indulged in sins and neglectРІР‚В¦how human we are, God knows if the world lives on the goodness of human, long it would have perished due to their abundance of sins and transgression.Р”Р„nd he was indeed like any ordinary man, in human sense. This piece is written in commemoration of Prophet MuhammadРІР‚в„ўs birth (12 Rabiul РІР‚Вawwal)
