Prophet Muhammad, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, was compassionate and gentle towards all people. He used to treat everyone in a good way and he always wished goodness for them. His noble manners are an example for us all. Allaah praised him saying (what means): And verily, you (O Muhammad (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) are on an exalted standard of character. [Quran 68:4]

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.

Dear brother in Islam, we would like to thank you for the great confidence you place in us, and we implore Allah Almighty to help us serve His cause and render our work for His Sake.

As regards your question we'd like to cite for you the words of the eminent Muslim scholar, Sheik Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, in his well-known book, The Lawful and the Prohibited in Islam. He states: "Beautification and elegance are not merely permitted but are required by Islam, and in general it repudiates any attempts to prohibit them. Almighty Allah says, "Say: Who has forbidden the adornment of Allah which He has brought forth for His servants, and the good things of His providing?" (Al-A`raf: 32)

Recently, we have witnessed instances of the horrific treatment of women around the world.

In the time of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), similar cruel practices were enacted by his society and he (peace and blessings be upon him) opposed all such forms of oppressing women.

Indeed, at the sight of a tragedy of any human being, Prophet Muhammad’s heart would be saddened and his eyes would flow with tears.

Caricatures in cartoons published in Denmark, France and Germany have caused great distress in the muslim world. however, it is all too obvious that the figures pictured in these caricatures are the artists themselves.

A number of caricatures reflecting the dark mindsets that support violence, drawn by artists with darwinist and materialist views, have been published by a joint decision of the british and french masonic lodges’ supreme councils.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) enjoined upon Muslims to treat the poor kindly and to help them with alms, Zakat, and in other ways. He said (peace and blessings be upon him) : “He is not a perfect Muslim who eats his fill and lets his neighbor go hungry.”
He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, “Do you love your Creator? Then love your fellow beings first.”

The birthday of the Prophet, God’s peace and blessings be upon him, is a great blessing for our community and, indeed, for all believers. So if we know the day, it should renew our joy manifold times. The Mawlid (his birthday) has traditionally been a time to reflect on – and be grateful for – our Prophet, peace be upon him, and his life, miracles, and the sacrifices he made on behalf of his community. Most of our scholars have considered celebrating the Mawlid as a good practice based upon the sound hadith, “Whoever establishes an excellent practice (sunnah hasanah) in Islam has its reward and the reward of those who act upon it.” This hadith, as some less perspicacious have thought, does not contradict the narration of Lady Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, in which she relates that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, “Whoever introduces something in this matter of ours that is not from it will find it rejected.”
