    •  Stoning by people
    •  Yet always practiced forgiveness
  • Patience, compassion, tolerance lead to sound judgement
    • People used to see his help for solving their tribal quarrels
  • Practiced ultimate honesty in the society
    • People named him “Saadiq” and “Ameen” (truthful and keeper)
  • Established his character in the society for 20+ years before announcing the message of Allah
Experiences in Prophet Muhammad ﷺ's life:
  • Being an orphan brought kindness and made him sensitive to the people who are weak and vulnerable
  • Being a Shepherd taught him patience and gave him time to think, reflect, and consider
  • Being a merchant taught him how different people’s characteristics in financial transactions. It also taught him how to interact and deal with others of different characters and opinions 
Lessons from Seerah:
