Remember how the world bowed to him as the greatest leader of all time and the Empire of Islam that he built many years ago in the name of Allah? Well, today's the day we should have sat and thought, "Without him, I won't be the person I am today; I wouldn't be this Muslim praying to Allah 5 times day and night."
Reminisce that and think. "Do I remember Him the way He does? Do I appreciate His Loved One (Rasulullah SAW) the way he does?"
Do you remember the story, where an old man hated Rasulullah so much that he couldn't even hear RSAW's name? How RSAW himself brought the old man far away and entertained the man until he (RSAW) died? S. Abu Bakar continued on as RSAW had trusted him so but the old man noticed the difference. He said that Abu Bakar R.A. wasn't the same person who had treated him before. That was when the truth was finally revealed. Abu Bakar R.A. said that RSAW was the one who had treated the man with such care and the old man was so shocked that it led to his death. But before he did, he converted to Islam.
We couldn't have done that; we couldn't have treated someone with such patience and sincerity. We are fragile humans with no such strength to be as kind; Imagine that one person who we detest, would we have done the same?
Reminisce, think and learn.
