Qur’anic Reflection

Allah says:

“We sent thee not save as a mercy for the peoples.” (Qur’an 21:107)

Narrated ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab:

“I heard Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) saying, “The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration was for what he emigrated for.”” (Sahih al-Bukhari 1)

Anas ibn Malik (ra) reports:

“Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) was neither very tall of stature, nor short. His skin was neither pale white, nor tawny, and his hair was neither crisply curled, nor lank. Allah (Exalted is He) sent him [to serve as His Messenger] at the end of forty years of life, so he stayed in Mecca for ten years and in Medina for ten years, and Allah took him unto Himself at the end of sixty years, with fewer than twenty white hairs on his head and his beard.” (Ash-Shama’il Al-Muhammadiyah 1)

The Prophet ﷺ was sent as a mercy for all of humanity. What better gift to give your child than knowing him — beginning with the very day he came into the world.
