Mercy is clemency and forbearance; mercy means a favor or a blessing; mercy is the disposition to forgive or show compassion; mercy further denotes the qualities of kindness, sympathy, generosity, and beneficence. Suffice is to say that all of these qualities were there in plenty in the character of Prophet Muhammad (May Allah have his peace and blessings on him).
He was a mercy to believers as well as to disbelievers, for he would invite them to come out of darkness and into the light of true guidance. He is a favor and blessing for mankind, not only for Arabs, the people among whom he was sent, but also for people of all races and colors. His enemies became his closest followers when the shade of blind prejudice was removed from their vision and when they were able, for the very first time, to see with clarity the true nature of the Prophet's character.
This book deals with many of the qualities of Prophet which made him the mercy to everyone. It starts with His perfect lineage, His noble upbringing, and his fully dedicated worship. This book mentions many of the qualities of the Prophet which includes his generosity, humbleness, bravery, virtue of patience, and leadership to name a few. Also, there are examples in each chapter from the life of the Prophet on how he was the perfect living example of that quality. The book ends with the perfection of life of the Prophet with his goodbye sermon and even his noble death where he demonstrated some of those qualities as well.
