Salam,

With all the drama going on with the pictures of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (s) and the wikipedia incident, I figured why not just straight up describe the true beauty and appearance through authentic hadiths. My boy Azeem Khan blogged about the wikipedia beef here, you can join that discussion if you wish. But I want to share the real description. To the right of this line is a picture, this is the Seal of our beloved Prophet, which was on his body and his official seal for his letters incase you didn’t know. Myself and others will agree that the description given to us from Sahih Hadiths are enough to love him, for how he looked and essentially how he was. Thank You Prophet Muhammad (s).org for hooking everyone up with this accurate info.

His companions described the beauty of the Prophet (s) in these terms:

“The Prophet (s) had a most handsome constitution. Some gave the smile of his beauty to that of the full moon,His nose was thin, His face was smooth,His beard was thick,His neck was the most beautiful,If the rays of the sun fell on his neck, it appeared like a cup of silver mixed with gold. The place between his shoulders was wide.

Anas bin Malik (ra) says:

“The Messenger of Allah, was not excessively tall or short. He was not very pallid nor dark. He did not have curly hair or lank hair. Allah commissioned him at the age of forty. He stayed in Mecca ten years and at Medina for ten years and Allah the Mighty, the Majestic made him die when he was sixty. There were not twenty white hairs in his hair or beard, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.

Anas bin Malik (ra) says:

“The Prophet (s) was neither tall nor short. He was handsome. His hair was neither delicate nor curly. He was neither very white, nor very brown.

Abu Huraira (ra) describes:

“The complexion of Rasulullah (s) was white with redness in it. The blessed eyes of Rasulullah (s) were extremely black. His eyelashes were long.

Umm Ma’bad (ra), who was known for her generosity, uprightness and courage, was visited by the Prophet (s) during the Prophet (s) migration from Mecca to Medina, but failed to recognize him. However, she described him to her husband, who recognized the Prophet (s) from her description:

“He was innocently bright and had a broad countenance. His manners were fine… He had black attractive eyes… His hair glossy and black, inclined to curl, he wore long. His voice was very commanding. His head was well formed and set on a slender neck. His expression was pensive and contemplative, serene and sublime. The stranger was fascinated from the distance, but no sooner he became intimate with him, than this fascination was changed into attachment and respect. His expression was very sweet and distinct. His speech was well set and free from the use of superfluous words, as if it were rosary of beads. His stature was neither too high nor too small. He was singularly bright and fresh.

He was always surrounded by his Companions. Whenever he uttered something, the listeners would hear him with rapt attention and whenever he issued a commandment, they vied with each other in carrying it out. He was a master and a commander. (Shaykh Safi ur-Rahmân al-Mubarakpoori, The Prophet’s Attributes and Manners From “The Sealed Nectar”, Islam’s Youth Voice)

Abu Huraira (ra) reports:

“I did not see anyone more handsome than Rasulullah (s). It was as if the brightness of the sun had shone from his blessed face. I did not see anyone walk faster than him, as is the earth folded for him. A few moments ago he would be here, and then there. We found it difficult to keep pace when we walked with him and he walked at his normal pace.”

“When he walked, he lifted his legs with vigour, leaned, slightly forward and placed his feet softly on the ground. He walked at a quick pace and took a rather long step. He did not take small steps. When he walked it seemed as if he was descending to a lower place. When he looked at something, he turned his whole body towards it. He always looked down. His blessed glance was focused more to the ground than towards the sky. His noble habit was to look at something with a slight glance. He made salaam (greeted) first to whomsoever he met.” (Shamaa-il Tirmidhi, Islamic Book Service Publications, New Delhi, 2000, p. 118)

Hassan (ra) says:

“He had great qualities and attributes, others also held him in high esteem. His blessed face shone like the full moon. He was slightly taller than a man of middle height, but shorter than a tall person…His blessed hair was slightly twisted. If his hair became parted naturally in the middle he left it so, otherwise he did not habitually make an effort to part his hair in the middle. Rasulullah (s) had a very luminous complexion (color), and a wide forehead. His eye brows were of dense and fine hair

… His neck was beautiful and thin, like the neck of a statue shaved clean, the color of which was clear, shining and beautiful like silver. All the parts of his body were of moderate size. His body was proportionately jointed.

“His forehead was wide and the place between his eyebrows was bright like pure silver and eye-balls were black tinged with reddish hue. The hairs of his eye lashes were profuse, When he smiled or laughed, they (his teeth) shone like lightning. His lip was most beautiful,His beard was thick,His neck was most beautiful, neither long, nor short. If the rays of the sun fell on his neck, it appeared like a cup of silver mixed with gold. His chest was broad. It was even like a mirror and white like the moon light,His shoulders were wide. His palms were softer than wool.

Oh and my favorite Hadith’s

According to the hadith narrated by one of the companions of the Prophet (s), the Prophet (s) told his Companions, when they were traveling to meet some brothers in faith:

“You are going to visit your brothers, so repair your saddles and make sure that you are dressed well, so that you will stand out among people like an adornment, for Allah does not love ugliness”( Sunan Abu Dawud, Volume 4, Number 83)

Subhanullah, Now that’s the description of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (s), Don’t get it twisted for all you haters out there. Alright I’m out…check out this site for more description and oh yea how can I forget the Speech of Shaykh Hamza Yusuf on this, Check that out here. I recommend everyone to listen to that. It’s a breathtaking lecture on our beloved Prophet (s) outward appearance.

And remember you can fall in love with someone by their beauty, it happens at first sight, and in return the heart develops love. Allah loves beauty, thats why all the Prophets (peace and blessings be upon him) were beautiful. With regard to Prophet Yusuf and the Question whether he was more beautiful than Prophet Muhammad (s)… Shaykh Abdul-Karim Yahya from Sunnipath mentions

” According to Imam al-Bajouri (Allah have mercy on him) our scholars have explicitly stated that it is from the perfection of faith to believe that no human’s body had the combination of beautiful features that were combined in the body of the Prophet Muhammad (Allah bless him and grant him peace). He proceeded to say, “Even with this, his complete beauty did not manifest, otherwise eyes would not have been able bear the sight of him.” Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him.

Alright Wasalaam, That’s just his beauty, now think about his character also, that should certainly shake your heart. [ratings]

Salam,

BBC News has released an article stating that Pakistan has Blocked Youtube. Pakistan in the mist of the election has recognize Youtube as a site that is offensive to Islam because of its content. Instead of Blocking the site completely I think maybe Youtube should just be filtered out. Although their is much impressible content on Youtube, I see much benefits also.

But then again with the rise of many Islamic Tube sites then perhaps maybe we don’t need Youtube.

Umm seems like a debate, but Youtube is the Number One video site in the world and it can be used for positive or negative purposes. The questions comes down to What do Muslims Use YouTube For? I think beside Islamic knowledge its also entertainment. Now that I think about its an amazing website, you can feel connected to the whole world. Well thats me, what do you feel about this?

Salam,

What do you do to fulfill your desires? Ask different people and you will certainly get different answers, but looking upon the state of society we can say that some individuals drink excessively, some do drugs, some worship money and become obsessive compulsive gamblers and then their are those who eat like theres no tomorrow.

Considering as a country we consume much of the worlds resources, its interesting to know we also waste much also, but nevertheless thats not my point, i wanted to talk a little bit about people who eat like they have two stomachs and have developed such a big belly that they can’t see their toes when they look down.

Many people don’t know this but protecting the stomach is one of the things which Islam put high priority towards and their is much wisdom behind it. Did you know that eating excessively hardens the heart, it weakens the limbs, this in return has an immediate effect on your laziness in obedience. Our beloved Prophet Muhammad said ‘The son of Adam has not filled a vessel more evil than his belly. Sufficient for the son of Adam are morsels to sustain his back. But if this is impossible, then let him keep a third for his food and a third for his water and a third for his breath.’ (Related by Related by al-Tirmidhī)

Essentially regulating gratification is the main theme here or as we say in the modern world ” Watch What You Eat”. See with all the modern techniques to combat weight loss and help people live a better lifestyle, i would have to say with alot of sincerity that if we as humans look towards our beloved Prophet and followed simple directions then perhaps we can see how our life’s can transform. From a physical and spiritual standpoint.

Go Ahead Try leaving 1/3 of your stomach empty every time you eat, and make it a habit. I promise you will notice the immediate difference in your everyday productivity. Coming from a desi family, I obviously have eaten much hell spices my whole life and still often continue to do so. Although its real unhealthy, the reason we can’t seem to give it up is because of taste.

What I learned from this is that if you want to see a change in your life, you will have to let go of your desires and control yourself. You have to condition your body and soul so that it becomes less dependent on the world. Yes you will have to make sacrifices, maybe let go of some tasty food or habits which you have become used to. But in the end sacrifice pays off, its sort of like leaving life as a believer. We all know Allah swt created this life with hardships but if we pass we will be in heaven, its your choice to have fun right now or in the afterlife. Intelligent people always think about the future.

Our beloved Prophet Muhammad also said ” He who’s stomach is full in this world will be hungry for longest in the Hereafter” (Related by al- Tarbani on the Authority of Salman) See how much the Sunnah talks about watching your stomach! Anyhows that pretty much does, Just because you have a dollar don’t run to the dollar menu, save up and buy some organic my brothers and sisters. I will end with a quote by Shaykh Hamza Yusuf ” The reason why people are so fat is because their souls are starving”. Wow Subhanullah. Also remember the reason why we are Slaves of Allah the Almighty is because we are Free of our inner animal driven desires.

Next time you start eating, please watch what you eat. The fatter someone is, the less space in the prayer line. Haha. Drop me a comment, tell me what you think…..Alright Wasalam Peace! Your boy Saad Ahmad Rashad.

Salam,

So I was just thinking recently after watching this video, How much of our claims about “Loving Allah” and “Hating the Shaytan” are actually true, It’s real strange how we say one thing one moment and then another moment our hearts quickly change and we are tricked into committing a sin or following the shaytan after his whispers.

It’s real interesting how often these whispers can be so evil and we ask ourselves ” How are these thoughts coming to me?”. Especially in Salat. Well guess what? Did you know that their is a specific evil jinn that Iblis sends out to distract people in salat. His name is “Khinzuq”, his job is to put the worst thoughts you can ever imagine in your head. This specific jinn used to come to our beloved Prophet Muhammad, and one time the our beloved Prophet choked him out. Yes! he choked him out, because thats how angry he got towards this evil jinn. Our beloved Prophet was able to see the jinn, and he told us that if this jinn comes to you during Salat giving you these haram thoughts, Then look towards your left shoulder and spit three times and say A`udhubillahi min al-shaykhtan (�I seek refuge in Allah from Satan�).

So you might be wondering about these thoughts, don’t worry. Its natural. Just make sure you keep this advice in your hearts and recite what our beloved Prophet told us to keep yourself safe. One of the tricks of shaytan is he likes to make you question yourself about the deen inwardly, and in this process the individual falls into doubt about his or her deen and boom! All of a sudden your not following the commands of Allah. So think about it and be real careful about what you say and how you act in accordance to it. Oh yea Please Watch this video and tell me what you think, (Warning: He looks really ugly and scary)….
