mentioned in the Holy Quran. Now listen to a few examples of his mercy and affection for Muslims:

Few examples of mercy and affection for Ummah

   ۔1Keeping the difficulties of the weak, ill and working people of the Ummah in mind, he صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم did not put off the Isha Salah until one-third of the night.

   ۔2Keeping ill people and children in mind, he صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم ordered not to have a very prolonged Qira’at in Salah.

   ۔3He صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم did not offer Nafl Salah regularly in the night so that it does not become Fard for the Ummah.

   ۔4To save the Ummah from difficulty, he صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم forbade them to observe fasts of Sawm-e-Wisaal^[1].

   ۔5Keeping the difficulty of Ummah in mind, he صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم did not make Hajj Fard every year.

   ۔6Showing affection to Muslims, he صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم commanded to have Raml in only three rounds of Tawaf instead of all rounds.

   ۔7The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would get busy with worship the whole night and would weep anxiously for the forgiveness of Ummah in the merciful court of Allah Almighty to the extent that (being in a standing position for a very long time) his blessed feet would often swell. (Siraat-ul-Jinaan, vol. 5, pp. 267, summarised)

Dear Islamic brothers! If we study the blessed life of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, it seems as if he صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم remembered his Ummah throughout his blessed apparent life. He صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would worship in the night for the forgiveness and salvation of his Ummah. He صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would weep in the isolation of caves. He صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would cry while reciting the Holy Quran. He صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would beseech in the merciful court of Allah
