Examples of the Prophet
Muhammad’s  Sayings

n  {The believers, in their love, mercy, and kindness to one another are like a body: if any part of it is ill, the whole body shares its sleeplessness and fever.}1

n  {The most perfect of the believers in faith are the best of them in morals.  And the best among them are those who are best to their wives.}2

n  {None of you believes (completely) until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.}3

n  {The merciful are shown mercy by the All-Merciful.  Show mercy to those on earth, and God will show mercy to you.}4

n  {Smiling at your brother is charity...}5

n  {A good word is charity.}6

n  {Whoever believes in God and the Last Day (the Day of Judgment) should do good to his neighbor.}7

n  {God does not judge you according to your appearance and your wealth, but He looks at your hearts and looks into your deeds.}8

n  {Pay the worker his wage before his sweat dries.}9

n  {A man walking along a path felt very thirsty.  Reaching a well, he descended into it, drank his fill, and came up.  Then he saw a dog with its tongue hanging out, trying to lick up mud to quench its thirst.  The man said, “This dog is feeling the same thirst that I felt.”  So he went down into the well again, filled his shoe with water, and gave the dog a drink.  So, God thanked him and forgave his sins.}  The Prophet  was asked, “Messenger of God, are we rewarded for kindness towards animals?”  He said: {There is a reward for kindness to every living animal or human.}10
