[HS] The 100 Greats From The Islamic Nation (مائة من عظماء أمة الإسلام غيروا مجرى التاريخ) (ASB83)

The Life story of Prophet Muhammad SAWﷺ Verily, there has come to you a Messenger from among yourselves. It grieves him that you should receive any injury or difficulty. He is anxious over you, for the believers full of pity, Kind, and merciful. [Surah At-Tawbah 9:128] Abu Hurayrah : I have not seen anything more beautiful than the messenger of Allah SWTﷺ. It was as if the sun flowed upon his SAWﷺface. And I have not seen anyone quicker in his walking than the Messenger of Allah SWT.It was if the earth was made easy for him SAW.We would be exerting ourselves while he SAWﷺwould not be struggling.’’ Al Bara’ ‘’I saw the Prophet SAWﷺ wearing a red garment, with his SAWﷺhair combed, and I have never seen anyone before or since, who was more handsome than he SAW. Anas Ibn Malik ‘’I have never touched silk softer than the palm of the prophet SAW,nor have I smelt a perfume nicer than the sweat of the prophet SAW.’’

It is vital for every single human being to study the life of the greatest man to have ever walked this earth, a man who changed the course of human history forever. No other individual has had such a lasting influence or impact in any sphere of human endeavor; be it history, culture, economics, social welfare, politics, diplomatic relations or warfare.
