The Sublime Character of the Prophet ﷺ | Khutbah | Shaykh Muhammad Jansher Khan

In this Friday sermon, Shaykh Muhammad Jansher Khan reflects on the sublime moral character and mercy of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

He examines practical lessons from the Prophet's ﷺ life: his forbearance with those struggling with sin, his dignity in everyday interactions, and his boundless mercy toward those in need. The sermon concludes with the profound account of the distribution of the spoils after the Battle of Hunayn, highlighting the unmatched rank and love the Prophet ﷺ held for the Ansar, followed by advice to youth on maintaining good character in schools.
