PROPHET MUHAMMAD(PBUH) AS A FATHER!

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) sternly advised his followers:”The best of you is he who is best to his family and I am the best among you to my family”.

The Prophet raised four daughters in a culture where baby girls were considered cursed. He educated them and married them to pious Muslim husbands.

The Prophet (PBUH) had a special place in his heart for Fatimah (RA). Fatimah, of whom Aisha (RA) commented, “[…]When the Prophet saw her approaching, he would welcome her, stand up and kiss her, take her by the hand and sit her down in the place where he was sitting.” (3/8)

The Prophet (PBUH) once said:

“Whoever pleased Fatimah has indeed pleased God and whoever has caused her to be angry has indeed angered God. Fatimah is a part of me. Whatever pleases her pleases me and whatever angers her angers me.” (Bukhari and Muslim) (4/8)

Allah's Messenger (as) said:

"Fatima is part of me, he who harms her harms me." (5/8)

The prophet loved all of his children & often kissed them & allowed them to ride on his shoulders. Once, his grandson Hasan was sitting on his shoulders when a passing sahaba jokingly remarked “What a nice ride,” To which the prophet responded, “The passenger is also good" (6/8)

In his entire life, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) never struck or even raised his hand to hit a woman or a child, ever.

He also especially loved his granddaughter Umamah bint Zainab and he would often carried her and lead salah. (7/8)

Indeed, "The Messenger of God is an excellent model for those of you who put your hope in God and the Last Day and remember Him often." [Al Quran 33:21] (8/8)
