Quotes About the Prophets

“When the Prophet (peace be upon him and his noble family) talked about her (Khadija ra) after she passed away, he (pbuh) would get very emotional. He (pbuh) said: "ruziqtu hubaha". I was given the rizq [gift or blessing] of her love.

This is a public display of affection, but the prophetic style!

Muhammad bin Yahya al-Ninowy

“After Allah informed the angels of Adam's rank and that He has made him His agent on earth, He commanded the angels to bow down to him out of humility, not worship, as an acknowledgement of his rank and an apology to him for their saying about him: "will You [O Allah] put on [earth] someone who creates corruption in it?"

Sheikh Ahmad Mustafa al-Maraghi

“Allah said to Musa (AS): “And I have prepared thee for Myself (for service)” (20:41).
Some of us want to run the marathon without the training. We forget that even dough is prepared before it becomes bread. Your soul is being prepared. Like dough, it’s kneaded. Don’t lose yourself in the pain of kneading. Rise above your circumstance. Rise above your pain. Every process has its conclusion. Every circumstance comes to an end. Your circumstance is only the tool. *You* are the one being prepared and raised and developed. You are the one being grown. Rise up beyond this pain. Rise up and see through. There is something greater waiting for you on the other side: The stronger, purer, freer you.
Remember: He is greater than this pain. He is greater. Allahu Akbar.

Yasmin Mogahed

“The Christ, peace be upon him, passed by a group of Jews who spoke evil towards him. He replied in a good and kind manner to them. It was said to him: "They are speaking evil words to you, and you say good words to them?" He said: "Everyone spends from what he has."

Muhammad al-Ghazali

“There was not a trait most reprehensible in the sight of Prophet’s companions more than lying. Whenever the Messenger of Allah found any of his companions lying, that impression would not depart from his heart until he was vividly shown that the companion had sincerely turned to Allah in repentance."

Aisha bint Abu Bakr (Wife of Prophet Muhammad)

“He used to work for his family, and when he heard the Adhan (call for the prayer), he would go out. [Aisha speaking of the Prophet PBUH]

Aisha bint Abu Bakr (Wife of Prophet Muhammad)

“O ‘Umar! You have not left behind you a person whose deeds I like to imitate and meet Allah with more than I like your deeds. By Allah! I always thought that Allah would keep you with your two companions, for very often I used to hear the Prophet saying, ‘I, Abu Bakr and ‘Umar went (somewhere); I, Abu Bakr and ‘Umar entered (somewhere); and I, Abu Bakr and ‘Umar went out.”’

Imam Ali bin Abi Talib

“I was reading the story of Musa (AS) in surat Taha. There is such a powerful lesson in this story. Musa (AS) was depending on the means (leaning on his staff), so Allah told him to throw it. It became a snake. Then he took it back and it became a staff again. When you depend on the creation instead of Allah, the creation can become a snake that can bite you. But when your dependence is on Allah, that same creation (snake), can become a staff that helps you.
Allahu akbar.

“Ibn Abbas radi allahu `anhu (may God be pleased with him) shares with us, “A beautiful woman, from among the most beautiful of women, used to pray behind the Prophet ﷺ. Some of the people used to go to pray in the first row to ensure they would not be able to see her. Others would pray in the last row of the men, and they would look from underneath their armpits to see her. Because of this act, in regard to her, Allah revealed, “Verily We know the eager among you to be first, and verily We know the eager among you to be behind,” (Qur’an 15:24).

From this narration, we learn that the young men who lived in the very city and attended the very masjid of the Prophet of God ﷺ slipped and checked a girl out. And yet what did the Prophet ﷺ do about it?

Did he create a wall between the men and women’s sections? Nope. Did he prohibit women from going to the mosque, lest they tempt the men who attend? Never. In fact, he ﷺ did the exact opposite and commanded that women not be stopped from going to the House of God.

What he did do was allow men and women to continue to be a part of the same society, working together as a community, existing cohesively. At the same time, he ﷺ helped train his community to keep their desires in check.

Maryam Amirebrahimi

“The custodian of the masjid of the Prophet ﷺ (peace be upon him) was an elderly woman. She was not assigned this position by anyone, rather she assumed it on her own. The narrations which share her story sometimes mention that they did not know who she was. One narration tells us that her name may have been Umm Muhjan. The main thing they knew about her was that she ensured that the masjid of Rasul Allah ﷺ was clean and tidy.

She was so diligent in her cleanliness that none other than the Prophet ﷺ noticed her absence after a week or so. When the Prophet ﷺ asked those around him what had happened to her, they informed him that she passed away a few days prior and she was already buried. The Prophet ﷺ became visibly upset – an important detail in the story because the Companions rarely saw him upset. He ﷺ asked why no one had called him so that he could visit her and pray the funeral prayer for her. They informed him that he was sleeping and they did not want to wake him. He asked those who knew to take him to her grave where he then prayed for her.

Yusra Owais

“Today, we hear the phrase “live for the moment” used often, but somewhere along the way, it turned into a term justifying the lower nature of man. The moments that the pious saints and figures from east and west spoke of in the past, were moments that brought about greater purpose, far outweighing the mere moments of the lower self. It was this clear understanding that led Yusuf (as) to make the right decision at a very tempting point in time. “…and he would have inclined to her had he not seen the proof of his Lord” (Qur’an 12:24). As a matter of fact, one of Prophet Yusuf’s most well-known and documented attributes was his insight and ability to interpret the signs of Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala (glorified is He). His dreams foreshadowed his fate and the revelation that came to him saved an entire nation from the onslaught of a major famine. His heart was filled with the Oneness of God. Prophet Yusuf (as) knew his circumstances and those around him were never simply a coincidence. He knew that every situation, every thought, and every feeling was connected to something much greater—the will of The only existing Truth—Al Haqq.

Omar Ead

“And I have mentioned in other books and studies of mine: That statistics, planning and research before actions are all at the heart of Islam, for the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah upon him) was the first who ordered an organized census of those who had believed in him after his hijrah (migration) to al-Madinah. And the effects of planning can be seen in his life story in several scenes and situations.

Yusuf al-Qaradhawi

“He whose sin is due to desire, then have hope for him; and he whose sin is due to pride, then fear for him. Because Adam sinned due to desire, and he was forgiven; and Iblis sinned due to pride, and he was cursed.

Sufyan bin 'Uyainah

“I never saw anyone more merciful with children than the Messenger of Allah, may the peace and blessings of God be upon him.

Anas bin Malik

“God gave us the Prophet because He loved what we might become.

Abdal Hakim Murad (Timothy Winter)

“God loves sincere return to Him and He forgives and purifies. The Prophet (SAW) himself exemplified that in many circumstances. `Aishah (r) reports that once, a man came to the Prophet and told him: “I am lost!” The Prophet asked: “Why?” The man confessed: “I had intercourse with my wife during the fasting hours of Ramadan.” Muhammad answered: “Give charity!” The man replied: “I own nothing!” Then he sat down at a short distance from the Prophet. Some time later, a man arrived, bringing a dish of food. [Muslim, Bukhâri] The Prophet called out: “Where is the man who is lost?” “Here”, he answered. Muhammad told him: “Take this food and give it away in charity.” “To one poorer than myself? My family has nothing to eat!” “Well then, eat it yourselves”, the Prophet replied with a smile. That gentleness and kindness were the very essence of his teaching.

Tariq Ramadan

“Do not exaggerate in praising me as the Christians praised the son of Mary, for I am only a slave. So, call me the slave of Allah and His Apostle.

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

“Tawakkul is standing in front of the Red Sea—as Prophet Musa did—with an army behind you, and not even flinching, knowing that Allah will get you through.

Yasmin Mogahed

“One of my favorite du'aas is the plea of Prophet Musa when he fled from Egypt: "O Allah! I am a faqir for all good from you."

Yasir Qadhi

“Because Muhammad’s life expressed the manifested and experienced essence of Islam’s message, getting to know the Prophet is a privileged means of acceding to the spiritual universe of Islam. From his birth to his death, the Messenger’s experience—devoid of any human tragic dimension—allies the call of faith, trial among people, humility and the quest for peace with the One.

Tariq Ramadan

“Why was Prophet Ibrahim told to sacrifice his son? It was to free him internally of something that could compete with his love for God.

Yasmin Mogahed

“When Musa was 'trapped' at the Red Sea, his eyes weren't on the sea. His eyes were on God. "God is with me and He will carry me through"(26:62)

Yasmin Mogahed

“Ibrahim (as) was thrown into fire. God willing none of us will ever face such a trial in this life. But there is not a person who won’t get thrown into some sort of emotional, psychological or social fires in their life. And don’t think for a moment that God cannot make those fires cool for us.

Yasmin Mogahed

“Sufyan Ath-Thawri said: "Du`a' on that night is more beloved to me than salah". He meant that do make much du`a' is better than a salah that doesn't include much du`a'. And if he recited [i.e. performed salah] and made du`a' that would be good and the Prophet ﷺ used to perform tahajjud in the nights of Ramadan and he would recite a rolling recitation and wouldn't pass a verse that mentioned mercy except that he asked [for it from Allah] and he wouldn't pass a verse that mentioned punishment except that he sought protection [from Allah]. Thus he would combine salah, recitation, du`a', and reflection. And this is the best and the most complete form of good deeds in the last ten nights [of Ramadan] and all other times.

Sheikh Ahmad al-Ajmi

“Satan rejoiced when Adam (peace be upon him) came out of Paradise, but he did not know that when a diver sinks into the sea, he collects pearls and then rises again.

Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah

“The experience of Prophet Yunus `alayhi sallatu wa sallam (may Allah send his peace and blessings upon him) is so crucial to internalize. When he was trapped in the belly of the whale, he had only one way out: turning completely to Allah, realizing Allah’s oneness and his own human frailty. His du`a’ encapsulates this truth in such a profound way: “There is no God but You, glory be to You, I was wrong.” (Qur’an, 21:87)

Many of us are also trapped inside the belly of the whale of our own desires and objects of worship. It is our own selves which we become enslaved to. And that imprisonment is the result of putting anything where only God should be in our hearts. In so doing we create the worst and most painful of prisons; because while a worldly prison can only take away what is temporary and inherently imperfect, this spiritual prison takes away what is ultimate, unending and perfect: Allah and our relationship to Him.

Yasmin Mogahed

“If the Prophet only had the miracle of his own seerah [biography] to prove his truthfulness, it would have sufficed him.

Ibn Hazm al-Andalusi

“A much neglected Prophetic Sunna [tradition] is to make others feel important and appreciated—behaving and dealing with such love, care and concern that they begin to feel they are one of the dearest people to you.

Mufti Muhammad ibn Adam al-Kawthari

“Insulting the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) is like trying to spit at the sun, it will only come back in your face.

Nouman Ali Khan

“People are sad at the death of the first man who walked on the moon. But me, I'll always be sad at the loss of the man who split the moon.

Yasir Qadhi

“Clerics and leaders who instigate Muslims to 'defend the honor of the Prophet (saw)' by attacking people who have nothing to do with insulting his honor, actually disrespect the memory of our Prophet (saw).

Yes, the movie was disgusting, but I'm sure the happiest person today is the person who made it, because his goal of smearing the Muslims has succeeded.

For how long will we tolerate such stupidity?

Yasir Qadhi

“When your desires, nafs and weaknesses overtake you, call out to Allah with the du`a' [prayer] of Nuh alaihi as-salam [peace be upon him]: annee maghloobun fantasir: I am overtaken, so give me victory.
