The Prophet’s Illness and Death:

POST  COMMENTARY

         In perfection lies defection. This means that when everything is complete and perfect, the next step is that it begins to decrease, collapse and ruin. When the moon is full, the next night, it begins to wane and decrease. When the fruit is ripe, it begins to go soft and rot. When a person reaches their prime and strongest, they begin to grow old and decline. When his message and mission were complete and perfect, Mohammad’s role and part was over on this earth. Muslims had grown countless in number. Islam had grown undefeatable. The revelation had completed. The teachings of Islam had reached the horizons, and were clear in the minds and hearts of Muslims, and even in the hearts and minds of non Muslims. But Mohammad was so great and influential that there were many aspects of his character that need careful study and shedding light on. First, his domestic life and marital relations with his wives provide the most useful guidance for the domestic life of Muslims, men and women alike. His character and dealings with the Muslims and the non- Muslims, the amicable the hostile people took good care for justice and mercy towards them. In short, Mohammad incarnated the values and virtues of mercy on earth. When she was asked about the prophet’s character, A’isha said, “ his character was the Holy Quran.

Like  all mortal humans, Mohammad died on the 12th.,of Rabi al Awal, 11 Ah. He was buried by Ali ibn Abi Talib, his kin and cousin, and son in law, in the apartment chamber of A’isha. The Muslims were too shocked to believe the news. Abu Bakr pacified them saying, “who worships Mohammad, Mohammad has died; Who worships Allah, Allah is all- Living; and He never dies”.
