ANWAR‐E‐MUSTUFA(SAL ALLAHU ALAYHIWASALAM)

One of the Sahaba has said:

"Wa Ahsana Min ka Lam Tara-Qatto Aiy Nee Wa Ajmala Min ka Lam Ta-li-Din Nisa-oo Kholiq-ta Mu-barra-am-min Kulli 'Aiybinn Kaa-an-naka Qad Khuliqta Kama Tasha-oo" "

No eye has beheld anyone more handsome than you No mother has given birth to anyone more exalted than

you You have been created without any blemish As if the Creator has created you according to your wishes."

(Sal allahu alayhi wasalam)

The Prophet (Salallahu alayhi Wasallam) 's face was round, smooth and beautiful. It was immensely radiant

and bright in complexion that through many Ahadith we learn that it was as if the sun and the moon were

floating on his blessed face - not only that but as if the sun and the moon were actually a reflection of his

blessed face. And why shouldn't it be when everything including the sun and moon were created from his

noor!

So exalted was his face that anyone who saw it only once with Imaan in his/her lifetime were blessed with thedivine status of a Sahabi/Sahabiya. The Prophet (Salallahu alayhi Wasallam)'s blessed head was very exalted.

On which the pillar of excellence would be seen shimmering. His blessed head would always be lowered by

the fear of Allah Subhanahu wata'ala

The Prophet (Salallahu alayhi Wasallam)'s divine forehead was wide and large which was always shining like

the early morning sun- what the people called 'a piece of a moon'. Blessed forehead was always engaged in

prostration during the night in the remembrance of Allah and in making dua for his Ummah!

The Prophet (Salallahu alayhi Wasallam)'s blessed lips were beautifully fine and thin. They were red-rose in

colour and much smoother than the petals of the rose. The lips were so blessed that when they were fashioned

into a smile, it melted the hearts, which were solid as rocks and transformed them into a candle, which

burned with his love and admiration.

His blessed teeth would shine more brilliantly than pearls and diamonds - which at the time of his smile

would project a ray of light, which would illuminate the whole surrounding.

The Prophet (Salallahu alayhi Wasallam)'s holy eyes were beautifully big which naturally had an appearance

of having been beautified with Surma. The irises were dark and the white sections of the eyes were extremely

white with a slight red thread like marks; these marks were a well-known sign of Prophecy amongst the

Arabs.

His blessed eyelids were beautified with large straight eyelashes. His eyebrows were fine and neatly

separated- if seen from a far distance, then they would seem to be joined in the middle. His blessed eyes had

the capability to view near, far, back, front, right, left and all directions clearly, easily and similarly without

any problem.

"Oh people! Perfect your Ruku and Sujud (Bows and prostration) as I swear by Allah that I see you clearlyfrom my back as I do from in front."(Mishkat)

He could witness the present and the unseen similarly without any problem. It was also these exalted divine

pair of eyes in the whole world that had the ability and capability (in his physical lifetime) to see and perceive

Allah subhanahu wata'ala without any barrier.

His blessed ears were fine and suited his face. They had the capability of hearing both near and far, present

and absent in the same way - clearly and easily. They had the ability to pick up and understand the language



of all creation without any problem.

"I see those things that you cannot see and I hear those things that you cannot hear." (Khasa'ese Kubrah V1.

P67)

His blessed nose was beautifully fine and long. It was very radiant. If it was seen suddenly then it would look

like a ray of light glittering his face.

His blessed beard was thick with black hair, which nicely framed his jaw and chin. It seemed as though the

Holy Qur'an was placed on a raheel (Qur'an/kitab stand).

His blessed hair was somewhat curly and straight. They were smooth and shiny. When they scattered on his

divine face, it would become the "commentary of Wadduha Wal Layli Itha Sajah."

"By the growing brightness of the rising morning And by the night when it covers everything in calm" (93:1-

2)

His blessed hair usually reached his divine shoulders. However, at "Hajjatul Wida'h" (the last Hajj) he had

his hair cut short.

He would oil and comb his hair and during the latter years of his physical life in this world he made a partingin his hair through the middle. So blessed was his hair and beard that even at the age of 63 years, all of his

hair were jet black - except for just about 20 white hairs in his blessed beard. He was not extremely tall or short in his height. However, when he was stood in the presence of other people

he would appear to be the tallest.

His sacred body was of white divine complexion (noor), for this reason his shadow was never made under any

light, not even under the sunshine or the moonlight!

His skin was much softer and smoother than natural silk. His body always smelt more beautiful than any

musk and perfume. Everything he touched or walked past was left with his unique sweet scent for days on

end. The companions could locate his whereabouts by the trail of his beautiful scent, which perfumed the

path of his journey and it's surroundings. His blessed shoulders and chest was strong and wide. He had asmooth line of hair from his chest, which reached his navel. His blessed stomach was flat in level with his

chest.

His blessed chest was penetrated four times in his lifetime by the Angels who filled it with the light of wisdom

and knowledge, and on these divine occurrences the ayahs of Alam Nashr was revealed:

"Have we not expanded your breast for you? And we have taken off from you your burden"(94:1-2)

The four times His divine chest was penetrated and exalted with wisdom were:

1. At the age of about 3 - when he lived with Hadhrat Halima (Radi allahu ta'ala anha). This was to prepare

him to stay away from normal children's fun and plays.

2. At the age of about 10 - this was to save him from the normal adolescent's desires.

3. Just before the first revelation - this was to prepare and strengthen his heart so that he could with stand,

handle and comprehend the divine communication and revelations of Allah subhanahu wata'ala. Had We

sent down this Qur'an on a mountain, you would certainly had seen it bow down in humility and split into

pieces for awe of Allah..(59:21)

4. In the night of Meraj (Night of Ascension) - this was to give him the divine proficiency, ability, capability

and wisdom to communicate, perceive and comprehend Allah Almighty, The Most Gracious and Most

Merciful.



His blessed neck was fine and clear. It was narrated by Hadhrat Abu Hurayrah (Radi allahu ta'ala anhu)

that the Beloved Prophet (Sal allahu alayhi wasalam) 's blessed neck was so radiant, that it seemed as though

it was covered and moulded in silver.

His blessed back was straight, smooth, clear and like the rest of body was of white radiant complexion which

glimmered like silver. On his blessed upper back (between his two shoulders) there was the "Seal/Stamp" of

Prophethood (Mohreh Nabuwah). It was raised skin in size of a pigeon's egg - according to some narrations

there was some Arabic wording marked on it:

"There is only one God (Allah) and He has no partner. (Oh Beloved Prophet) wherever you go you will be

helped and supported."

His blessed hands were wide and muscular, when someone shook his hand they were left with his beautiful

scent. These were the very hands in which Allah gave His hand. His blessed fingers were long and smooth,

which were always ready to give forgiveness, charity and to help others. These were the fingers from which

the water used to flow when no water was around at the time of need. These were also the very finger(s) by

whose indication the moon split into half and the sun rose back once it set.

The Beloved Prophet (sal allahu alayhi wasalam) had a very refined, clear, sweet and strong voice. It was so

sweet that even an enemy would fall in love with it. If it were ever raised in a high tone when necessary thenthe voice would be echoed from the small alleyway of Madina to the rest of the world.

When the voice was used to show affection and mercy it was very sweet and winsome that it would be the

coolness for the heart and the comfort for the soul. However when the same voice was used at the time of

harshness and severity it would be strong enough to tremble the mountains into dust.

He would weep a lot by the fear of Allah Almighty and for the affection that he holds for his ummah. His

weeping was of sincere meaning. It would make a soft but touching sound, any person who heard it would

know that it is from the deepest of his divine heart, his ability and regularity of weeping was a physical sign

that his heart was affectionate, compassionate and soft. His weeping would beautify his blessed eyes with

pearls of tears that would roll down his face and soak his blessed beard. He would usually spend all night just

reciting just one verse of the Qur'an and crying over it. He would also spend every moment of his day and

night remembering his ummah and making rigorous consecrate duas and supplication in the court of AllahAlmighty the Most Compassionate and the Most Merciful.

He never forgot his ummah ever in any step of his blessed life. From the very moment of his birth and

throughout his life (even on night of meraj at time of communication with the Creator, at the time of being

lowered in the land of heaven (roza-eh anwar) after his physical departure from this world), he never forgot

his Ummah and even on the Day of Judgement he will be prostrating to Allah making dua for the very

Ummah he shed tears for throughout his life and will open the doors of intercession for all.

His unique and divine perspiration would smell more beautiful than the any musk and perfume ever created.

So unique was it that when it was given to a bride, seven generations of her family were blessed by this scent

so much so that it was as if they had it in their blood from birth. Wherever he went or whatever he touched

would give proof of him being close by, through the sweet scent he left behind.

His "Lu'ab-eh dahan" (blessed spit) was very unique it was a cure for all illnesses and was a miracle in itself.

When it was rubbed into the poisoned sting of Hadhrat Abu Bakr Siddique (Radi allahu ta'ala anhu) in the

cave of Thour it gave him immediate relief; when placed into Hadhrat Ali (Radi allahu ta'ala anhu)'s

conjunctivitis eyes then they were cured immediately; when it entered into Hadhrat Rufa'ah bin Rafeh (Radi

allahu ta'ala anhu)'s injured eye at the battle of Badr it gave him great comfort and cured it - and it actually

increased his sight more than before. When a droplet of it was given as a blessing to the suckling babies, it

would be sufficient for them for the whole day (i.e., that baby didn't need feeding that day). When it was

mixed with Hadhrat Anas (Radi allahu ta'ala anhu)'s bitter water from the well, it transformed that water to

be the most sweet water ever to be found in Madina Munawarah. When it was consumed at time of need of



food/water, it would dramatically increase the quantity of the product - so that it could be sufficient for the

whole gathering and many more people than it was capable of sufficing. Not only this but it would appear

that the original quantity/volume of the product had increased even after it had been used. (References:
