The Purpose of Fasting in Islam.

Prophet Muhammad condemned discrimination between male and female children and taught his companions to love their children and raise them properly regardless of their sex. In fact, he emphasized giving more care and attention to female children until they grow up and get married

Prophet Muhammad linked the preservation of the environment to the belief in one God, Who created all beings. Therefore, a believer in God cannot cause mischief to the environment because it is part of God’s Kingdom. Harming the environment and wasting or polluting its resources (water, plants, animals, soil, air, marine ecosystem, etc.) is not acceptable from an Islamic point of view.

Prophet Muhammad said: “I swear by God that you will not be true believers in Him unless you love each other. I will tell you something, if you do it you will love each other. Greet each other frequently and make it a common habit."

Prophet Muhammad loved his wife: A few years after his first wife Khadijah passed away, Muhammad got married to Aisha, the daughter of his closest friend Abu-Bakr. Despite his loyalty to his late wife, he loved Aisha and was honest to her. He was asked once by Amr bin Al-Aas (a companion): “Who is the most beloved person to you?" Muhammad replied without hesitation: Aisha.

The Prophet was against detaining or confining or restraining animals for no genuine reason. Also, he didn’t like lashing animals or hitting them. He used different teaching styles to emphasize the spiritual call to treat animals with care and dignity.

Prophet Muhammad stated on several occasions that the people of good morals would be the closest to him on the Day of Judgment and the most beloved by him.

Prophet Muhammad abolished blood vengeance (revenge or retaliation) and vendetta (blood feud or dispute). At his farewell address he declared:“Every right arising out of homicide (murder) in pre-Islamic days is henceforth waived and the first such right that I waive is that arising from the murder of Rabi’ah (a relative of Muhammad).

Whenever he gave instructions to his followers that were understood or perceived in two different ways, he used to accept both ways provided that both of them achieve the required goal in a lawful manner.

Prophet Muhammad encouraged people to get married and establish a family life. He taught his followers noble Islamic values which ban illegal sexual relations other than a normal marital relationship between a man and a woman.

Prophet Muhammad encouraged believers to release slaves for the sake of God. 

Prophet Muhammad encouraged people to continuously add value to the environment even if the whole universe were collapsing and life were ending on this planet.

Prophet Muhammad paid attention to children. He used to greet them and play with them. One time Prophet  Muhammad saw a little boy who was sad because his little bird died. Although Prophet Muhammad was heading elsewhere, he spent some time with the little boy to please him and relieve his sadness.
