Subj:	sis Re: dealings of the Prophet (saw) (fwd)

asselamu alaikum wr wb sisters.

Jummah Mubarek:-)

here's something...as part of sis net Khutbah :-)
ok..i'm just sharing this w/ u all since i think it to be beautiful:-)
inshaAllah this posting is just some of many examples of the beautiful
qualities of our Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) that we as those who strive to
be righteous believers need to learn/know & perhaps share w/ our hubbies.
:-)

(my fiance lives in new hampshire & i way back here in windy texas:-(
alhamdu'Lilah:-) one of his favorite hobby is studying about the
lives/qualities of the Prophets (pbu them all) w/ primary emphasis being
on P.Muhammed (pbuh)...u know since the others need more filtering...ie
studying the bible (more like hadeeth about Jesus ) to know of
P.Jesus(pbuh)'s qualities requieres more keen analysis of what's really
from him vs. from his followers. anyway, since i'm not w/ him, he sometimes
e-mails things such as follows:)
