" No prophet could (ever) act dishonestly, if any person acts dishonestly, he shall on the Day of Judgement, restore what he has stolen. " (Q3: 161)
ADAM: STILL CARING
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "On the night of my Ascent (Mi 'raj), I met Adam and he said to me: 'Muhammad, convey my salaam to your people and tell them that Paradise is a vast plain of pure soil and sweet water and that its trees cry: Holy is Allah, all praise is due to Allah, there is none worthy of worship save Allah, and Allah is Great" (Tirmidhi)
Point to Ponder: Prophet Adam (AS) indeed cares for us and he is a true father, wanting what is good for his offsprings.
DAWUD: THE BEST FAST & PRAYEAR
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:
"The most beloved fasting to Allah was the fasting of (the Prophet) Dawud who used to fast on alternate days. And the most beloved prayer to Allah was the prayer of Dawud who used to sleep for (the first) half of the night and pray for 1/3 of it and (again) sleep for a sixth of it. "
Point to Ponder: Begin to take little steps towards the best in prayer and in fasting
IBRAHIM: A FRIEND
Allah's Messenger (PBUH) said:
" ...you wonder that Ibrahim was Allah s friend, as indeed he was; that Musa was Allah s confidant, as indeed he was; ... and that Adam was chosen by Allah, as indeed he was. I am the one whom Allah loves, and this is no boast". (Tirmidhi)
Point to Ponder: Each prophet meant different things to Allah. No contest
MUHAMMAD: SO CHARITABLE.
The Messenger (PBUH) said:
''If I had gold to the measure of Uhud, I would not like to keep any of it more than three days, except what I put aside to pay a debt". (Bukhari)
Point to Ponder: Uhud is a hill near Madina. Imagine in a matter of three days virtually all that gold would have gone to charity. (This illustrates how charitable the Prophet (PBUH) was)
ISMA'IL: OF PURE FAITH
Allah's Prophet (PBUH) said:
''May Allah curse them (i.e. Quraish)! By Allah neither Ibrahim (PBUH) nor Ismail (PBUH) practised divination by arrows" (Bukhari)
Point to Ponder: Divination by arrows means consulting the oracle, for whatever reason. (e.g. to find out who stole something). This is wrong for a Muslim to do.
