This slide program presents in the light of Quran, Sunnah and Seerah the glimpses of life of our beloved Prophet Mohammad (SAW) in his house with his family. It describes his dealings with his wives, children, grand children and servants.
7. • His home was one of security
• Filled with great compassion not only for the people
who lived there but for those who were visitors as
well.
• His home was a place of refuge and safety
• But the Prophet’s home was a place of joy and
love.
• Prophet (SAW) home was also a place of civil
conversation and even debate.
8. • Places of fighting and yelling?
• Places void of much compassion?
• Places in which we ignore the blessings of Allah and do not
thank and praise Him?
• Are they places of abuse and violence?
• Are they places in which the people who live therein or visit
are not lifted up but torn down at every turn?
• Are our homes battlegrounds most of the time and places
that we want to stay away from as much as we can instead of
places we want to be in most of the time?
• Finally, are they places where we simply play lip service to
Allah and the example of the Prophet but nothing more?
9. • He was just like other men.
• He himself took care of his clothes,
• Milked his goats,
• Stitched his tore apparels and
• Mended his shoes and leather buckets.
• He carried loads, gave fodder to animals.
• If there was a servant he also worked with him and
shared his labor.
• He himself brought provisions from the market
and carried them in a sheet of cloth
10. • Prophet was occupied at home in three kinds of
activities:
1. He spent some time in prayers and
2. Some time on his dependents and
3. Some time in rest.
• He spent some time for general meetings at the
mosque and
• For friends and guests, and
• To receive people who came to him for their
personal needs
11. • Once Ayesha cooked a preparation of minced meat
and wheat flour when
• Sauda was present and the Prophet was sitting
between them.
• Ayesha asked Sauda to take some of her
preparation and she did not agree to take it.
• On Sauda’s refusing it again, Ayesha actually pasted
it on her face
• The Prophet had a hearty laugh and told Sauda to
do the same with Ayesha to make her stop
• When Sauda did it the Prophet laughed again.
12. • Once Abu Bakr, may Allah (RA) came and
finding Ayesha (RA) talking to the Prophet
(SAW) impertinently, lost his temper and
wanted to beat her
• The Prophet (SAW) intervened and pacified
him and said that it did not matter.
• When Abu Bakr (RA) left, the Prophet(SAW)
said to Ayesha, “Did you see how I saved you
from the old man?''
13. • Prophet woke up in the latter half of the night,
cleansed his teeth, did ablution and offered
Tahajjud prayers and recited the Qur’an very
peacefully.
• Sometimes he stood in the prayers for such a long
time that his feet would be swollen
• His companions said where was the need of his
putting himself to so much trouble when God had
promised him forgiveness of all his lapses of the
past and future,
• The Prophet replied, “Shall I not become a grateful
servant of God?''
14.
15. • Prophet said that one should pass his life as a traveler
who takes a little rest under a shade and then
continues his journey
• Neither the Prophet nor his companions built large
houses or furnished them.
• Their houses were just like rest-houses where there
was provision for protection from heat and cold and
preventive measures against wild animals and for
privacy in regard to hygienic necessities.
• The Prophet had built small rooms by the mosque for
his wives in which the only decoration was cleanliness.
16. • He always exhorted his companions to keep
their courtyards quite clean.
• Very few utensils were kept in the Prophet’s
house.
• There was a wooden bowl covered with iron
which was mostly used for eating.
• His bedding was of leather filled with straw.
• His cot was strung with jute ropes which he
often used without the bedding and the marks
of the rope were found on his body
17. • Umar (RA), the Porphet's (SAW) Companion,
once shed tears and
• He said that while emperors of Rome and Iran
lived in all luxury the Prophet was in that
condition.
• The Prophet (SAW) asked him if he was not
pleased to find that while those people gained
this world, the Prophet (SAW) gained the next.
18. • Gunny bag sheets were also used as bedding
• Once when they were four-folded and the
Prophet got such a sound sleep that he could
not wake up for his Tahajjud prayer,
• He resented it and strictly prohibited making for
him such ‘comfortable’ bedding.
19.
20. • He liked meat in particular and preferred shank, neck
and lion of animals and also bones of ribs.
• A special Arab dish prepared with soup and bread was
also relished by him.
• Honey, vinegar, melon, cucumber, gourd, butter and
rice cooked with pulses were particularly liked by him.
• He also liked dates mixed with milk or with butter.
• He also ate cucumber with salt and melon with sugar.
• He also put dates into water and drank from it till the
evening and then threw away as keeping it longer
would ferment it.
21. • While drinking he never made a noise and
• He raised the cup from his lips three times, each time
thanking God.
• He liked people sitting together to eat.
• Use of table and chair was contrary to ascetic life.
• He did not like food served in small dishes.
• Silver and gold utensils were prohibited
• Glass, earthen, zinc and wooden vessels were used.
• Before sitting on the dinner mat, he removed his shoes
and washed his hands.
• He used only right hand while eating and always took
from his side of the vessels, never dipping his fingers in
the middle.
22. • He did not like to lean while eating.
• Generally he sat cross-legged or on folded legs with the
feet put behind like in prayers.
• If he disliked anything he quietly left it and did not
criticize.
• He avoided very hot food.
• Sometimes he cut the meat with eating he used only
three fingers and did not soil them.
• Sometimes he also ate a fruit while standing and
sometimes took two fruits together like melon and
dates.
• Sweet dish was his favourite
23. • He used fried barley powdered and mixed with
water.
• Once when almond powder was substituted he
rejected it saying that it was a rich man’s food.
• When soup was prepared he asked to increase its
quantity so that the neighbors could also have it.
• At every morsel he used to thank God.
• He was very particular in washing his hands after
eating.
• If there was a guest he urged him again and again
to eat freely and well.
24. • He never refused invitation
• If someone else went with him he always asked
the permission of the host to include him.
• In offering thanks to God after dinner he also
blessed the host.
• He got up only when others of the company had
risen.
• If others had finished before him he rose along
with the rest.
• He disliked blowing over hot food or drink or
smelling them.
• Since he disliked bad breath he never used onions
or garlic
25. • If any food was sent to him, he insisted on
those present to partake of it, and set apart the
share of the friends who were absent.
• Ever since the attempt made to poison him he
always enquired of the name of the food
brought from elsewhere and insisted on the
person who brought it to take at least a morsel
from it.
• In spite of this refinement of taste the Prophet
had often to go without food and used to say,
“I eat and drink as a servant of God should do .”
26. • The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) gave us a shining
example of how to treat women in his Sunnah,
• So many Muslims claim to follow his Sunnah and
forget that a major component of it is the prophets
(SAW) treatment of his wives,
• This is a reminder for all those who are married or
when they get married to remember this Sunnah of
the prophet (SAW)
• We must realize the value and blessing of a pious
Muslimah wife.

Prophet (SAW) and his companions.

the dish out of jealousy.

two halves of the dish and said to his companions:
• Eat your food, it is just the jealousy of your mother.
• Then the Prophet took Aisha’s dish and gave it to
Um Salama and gave Um Salama’s dish to Aisha.

30. • The Prophet (SAW) said: “Treat women kindly, they were
created from a rib, and the most crooked part of the rib is the
highest part thereof; so, if you tried to rectify the rib it will be
broken and if you left the rib as it is, it will remain crooked,
and women are just like this; therefore treat them kindly”.
• (Narrater Abu Huraira – Al-Bukhari Page or number: 3331)

some

women
