Sayings of Prophet Muhammed ﷺ

                                   
                                     بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم          

Here are some sayings of  Prophet Muhammed ﷺ, I found them in Islamweb site:
 1- He is not a perfect Muslim who eats his fill and lets his neighbor go hungry. 
 2 -O 'Aa'ishah, love the poor and let them come to you and Allaah will draw you near to Himself.
3- He  used to say: "I am a Prophet of Allaah but I do not know what will be my end." 
4- He  used to pray: "O Allaah! I am but a man. If I hurt any one in any manner, then forgive me and do not punish me." 
5- To honor an old man is to show glorification to Allaah.
6- Modesty is a part of the teachings of the previous prophets and anyone who lacks it is most likely to do whatever he likes.
7- I am Allaah's servant, I eat like a servant and sit like a servant.
8-I stand in prayer and wish to prolong it. However, I hear the cry of a child and cut the prayer short for the anxiety which the mother is feeling.

Prophet Muhammed ﷺ

                                                                                                   
                                                     بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم  


I strongly condemn what happened to the french newspaper but I am also sad and disappointed by publishing cartoons depicting Prophet Muhammed . The Prophet () was a great man and if cartoonists had read his biography they wouldn't have depicted those cartoons.I believe in dialogue  between different cultures and a world based on respect not insults nor violence.


And for people interested to know about the Prophet (), here are some sayings about him by  famous  thinkers[1], of course they are not enough but it is just a start.

Wolfgang Goethe

He is a prophet and not a poet and therefore his Koran is to be seen as Divine Law and not as a book of a human being, made for education or entertainment[2]. 
D.C.Sharma 
Muhammad was the soul of kindness, and his influence was felt and never forgotten by those around him[3].
Lamartin 
 Philosopher, orator, apostle, legislator, warrior, conqueror of ideas, restorer of rational dogmas, of a cult without images; the founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of one spiritual empire, that is Muhammad. As regards all standards by which human greatness may be measured, we may well ask, is there any man greater than he?[4]
 Encyclopedia Britannica
A mass of detail in the early sources shows that he was an honest and upright man who had gained the respect and loyalty of others who were likewise honest and upright men[5].
 Thomas Carlyle
how one man single-handedly, could weld warring tribes and wandering Bedouins into a most powerful and civilized nation in less than two decades[6].

Annie Besant 

It is impossible for anyone who studies the life and character of the great Prophet of Arabia, who knows how he taught and how he lived, to feel anything but reverence for that mighty Prophet, one of the great messengers of the Supreme. And although in what I put to you I shall say many things which may be familiar to many, yet I myself feel whenever I re-read them, a new way of admiration, a new sense of reverence for that mighty Arabian teacher[7].

أعمدة الخلق

                             بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

قد تعد أشهر صورة على الإطلاق فى تاريخ الكون المرئى،لا يمكن أن تراها إلا و تقف فاغرا فاك فالصورة خالبة للب، ساحرة. قد يكون الكثير رآها و يعرفها و لكن ذلك العام سيراها بوضوح أكبر وبأطوال موجية مختلفة.

التقطت أول مرة عام ١٩٩٥ باستخدام مسبار الفضاء هابل [١](الذى منذ إطلاقه عام١٩٩٠ وهو مازال يمتعنا بصوره المذهلة) و اسمها "أعمدة الخلق" كناية عن أن تلك الأعمدة الموجودة فى الصورة هى نتاج عملية تكوين نجوم جديدة. تقع "أعمدة الخلق" فيما يعرف باسم سديم النسر[١ ](السديم هو عبارة عن سحابة مكونة من الغبار و الهيدروجين و الهيليوم و الغازات المتأينة تقع بين مجموعات النجوم فى المجرة [٢] ) و تبعد عنا بمقدار ٧٠٠٠ سنة ضوئية[٤].
 

  أعمدة الخلق: الصورة على اليمين هى الصورة الحديثة  المأخوذة بالأشعة فوق البنفسجية
و الموجودة على اليسار هى التى التقطت عام
.١٩٩٥
