Prophet Muhammad, a Simple Man

despite his position as leader, prophet muhammad never behaved as if he was greater or better than other people. he never made people feel small, unwanted or embarrassed. he urged his followers to live kindly and humbly, releasing slaves whenever they could and giving in charity, especially to very poor people, and the orphans, without waiting for any reward.

prophet muhammad himself was never greedy. he ate very little and only simple foods. he preferred never to fill his stomach. sometimes, for days on end, he would eat nothing but raw food. he slept on a very simple mattress on the floor and had almost nothing in the way of home comforts or decorations
