Prophet Muḥammad's personality was very simple, compassionate and loving towards others. This human aspect did not come from his abstract human personality, but rather from the fact that he was a human being chosen by Allah to bear the responsibility of prophethood. Allah therefore purified him, taught him and sent him as a mercy to the world. Regarding this, Allah says: “And We have not sent you, [O Muḥammad], except as a mercy to the worlds. (107)” (Surah Al-Anbiya, 107).
However, the human aspect of the Prophet – peace be upon him – is clearly observable in the various situations of his life. We find it in his behavior towards his family members. It has never been reported in Islamic traditions that he was violent towards his family. On the contrary, he devoted part of his time to the service of his family, helping them with the various domestic tasks. In addition, he allowed them to attend Fridays and feasts, and he even held running competitions with them.
The Messenger of Allah loved servants and workers, and treated them well. He recommended to his companions, and Muslims to treat them well
The human aspect of the Prophet was not limited to his entourage, he behaved in the same way with his enemies and on the battlefields.
During his greatest victory, when the Prophet retook Makkah and his Quraysh enemies were defeated and surrendered to him, he entered it humbly, with his head bowed, without vengeance or bloodshed. He granted complete forgiveness to his enemies simply and unconditionally surrendering. Moreover, in his battles, the Prophet advised Muslims not to kill children, women and old people, in this connection, he recommended them thus: "Do not kill an old man, child or a woman ".
The tenderness of the Prophet was not limited to humans, but also extended to include animals who are unable to express their pain and needs. He urged his companions to be kind to animals, telling them the story of the man who took pity on a thirsty dog and presented it with water. So Allah forgave him and admitted him to paradise.
A careful examination of the life of the Prophet - blessings and peace be upon him - shows us that he suffered persecution and injustice in Mecca; however, he was not swayed by the cruelty he experienced, and he had no unbridled desire to seek revenge on those who wronged him.
Such is the personality of the Prophet – blessings and salvation be upon him – the human being who changed the face of the world, a simple, merciful and great personality.
