There has been much written about the character of Mohammed, from the view of Islam of course all is good and wonderful he is a flawless being, it has to be said that any Muslim or any other person for that matter who contradicts this view is quite likely to end up dead, therefore it is not surprising that the Muslims paint such a wonderful picture of him

In an article from the Gulf Times describing Mohammed and his personality there are contained in this article contradictions, and a giveaway by Aa'isha

 

Aa’isha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "He never ever used his hand to hit a servant, nor any of his wives, or anything (for that matter), except in the case of Jihad in the Way of Allah."

Mohammed was always involved with Jihad and we must also bear in mind that Aaisha an infant bride of Mohammed would most certainly have not said anything that would have shortened her life, damaged as it no doubt was

The article also states :

 

So, what was his (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam – peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) character (like)? Aa’isha (may Allah be pleased with her), the Mother of the Believers, answers (this question) saying: "His character was the Qur’an."

His Character was the Qu'ran, a very diplomatic answer from Aa'isha, here is another portrayal of Mohammeds "character"

 

Ayoub also sources one Muslim who actually boasted of Allah being the best conniver/deceiver/schemer etc.,

"Qurtubi observes that some scholars have considered the words ‘best of schemers’ to be one of God’s beautiful names. Thus one would pray, ‘O Best of Schemers, scheme for me!’ Qurtubi also reports that the Prophet used to pray, ‘O God, scheme for me, and do not scheme against me!’ (Qurtubi, IV, pp. 98-99; cf. Zamakhshari, I, p. 366)." (Ibid., p. 166)

And here, also, is how one of the earliest sources on the life of Muhammad interpreted Q. 8:30:

Then he reminds the apostle of His favour towards him when the people plotted against him 'to kill him, or to wound him, or to drive him out; and they plotted and God plotted, and is the best of plotters.' i.e. I DECEIVED them with My firm GUILE so that I delivered you from them. (The Life of Muhammad: A Translation of Ibn Ishaq's Sirat Rasul Allah, with introduction and notes by Alfred Guillaume [Oxford University Press, Karachi, Tenth impression 1995], p. 323; capital emphasis ours)

Thus, the Quran unashamedly calls Muhammad’s god the best liar and deceiver of them all!

In fact, the Quran states that Allah actually raises wicked individuals to deceive and scheme:

Clearly Aa'isha was saying that Mohammed was a murdering liar.

The Article ends thus;

 

"O Allah, give us the very best of "Good Character’. No one gives the best of character except You! And turn away from us the evil character. No one can turn it away from us except You!
"O Allah praise our Prophet Muhammad in the highest assemblies of the angels. And also we ask Your Blessings upon his family and companions."

Calls for the "good Character of Allah" if the good character of Allah is the one described above then I would hate to see a bad one, it would appear that "good" in the Islamic world directly equates to bad in the Western world.

We cannot discuss mohammed and Islam without reference to Christianity and indeed Judaism, this passage shows clearly the personality of Mohammed and I suspect that this personality is the one AaIsha was referring to when she was asked about Mohammed's character:

Perhaps the final judgment can be made to rest on the last statements made by Jesus and Muhammad respectively before they died. We have already seen how Jesus, at the last, sought the forgiveness and salvation of the Jews who had hated, opposed and finally crucified him. How unfavourably Muhammad's last recorded utterance compares:

'Umar b. Abd al-Aziz reported that the last statement made by the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) was: O Lord, perish the Jews and the Christians. They made churches of the graves of their Prophets. Beware, there should be no two faiths in Arabia. (Muwatta Imam Malik, p. 371).

. Here is the article from the Gulf Times, there is also one other very important thing to remember concerning this article, this article is NOT for Muslim consumption, this is an article targeted at western minds, It is an Article in the way of Allah - wicked deception, please read on

 

The character of the Messenger of Allah

The character of the Messenger of Allah
So, what was his (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam – peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) character (like)? Aa’isha (may Allah be pleased with her), the Mother of the Believers, answers (this question) saying: "His character was the Qur’an."

He was a living example of the Qur’an (in his behaviour) only consuming that which the Qur’an made lawful, avoiding (completely) whatever the Qur’an declared unlawful, and always acting in accordance with its rules of refinement and good conduct (etiquette).

Anas ibn Maalik (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I was in the service of the Messenger of Allah for 10 years and he (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam ) never said to me so much as "uff" [a word of displeasure]. He never reprimanded me for any action (of misbehaviour) of mine asking: ‘Why did you do that?’

Aa’isha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "He never ever used his hand to hit a servant, nor any of his wives, or anything (for that matter), except in the case of Jihad in the Way of Allah."

Jaabir ibn Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) was never asked about anything and then refused (the request)."

On the authority of Sahl ibn Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: I gave the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) a Burdah’ (type of clothing) as a gift; he (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam ) took it, being in need of it. He wore it, upon which a man saw him wearing it and said: O Messenger of Allah: ‘O how beautiful this is – give it to me to wear.’ So, he (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) said: yes [and gave it to the man].

"
He (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) was pleasant and kind in his relations with his wives. He used to say: "The best of you is the best of you to your family (wives) and I am the best of you to my family (wives)."
When he (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) was at home, he was in the service of his family," ie he used to help his wives and treat them with kindness. Whenever he shook a man’s hand, he would not let his hand loose, until that man let his hand loose first.

He wouldn’t turn his face from anyone until the person first turned away from him. He was very kind and compassionate even with small children.

Anas ibn Maalik (may Allah be pleased with him) had a younger brother who owned a small bird (like a sparrow); its name was ‘an-nughair’. He (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) used to play with the small child by saying to him "O Abaa Umair, what has an-nughair done."

This is the ‘Akhlaaq’ (moral character/standard) of Islam, represented in the personality of the Prophet of Islam. So, where do you stand – in comparison to/in light of the Standards of Morality and Character of the religion of Islam?
In accordance to your answer (response) you will have judged your level on the stairway (standard) of perfection of Imaan (Faith). You will have known the weightiest of your deeds in the Scales. You will have known the degree of your nearness in paradise to the Prophet of Islam (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) – if Allah Wills for you to be of the People of Paradise, by His Bounty and Mercy.

The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) said: "The one who will be sitting nearest to me on the Day of Resurrection, will be the best of you in character."
"O Allah, our Lord, give our souls their taqwa and purify them. You are the Best to Purify. You are the Guardian (of our souls) and their Master.

"O Allah, give us the very best of "Good Character’. No one gives the best of character except You! And turn away from us the evil character. No one can turn it away from us except You!
"O Allah praise our Prophet Muhammad in the highest assemblies of the angels. And also we ask Your Blessings upon his family and companions."
