We have started this series as an effort to awaken and help Muslims realize that the very peers they cheer and idealize for various "wisdom filled" quotations were preceded by someone they ought to adore and love more than their own selves. Prophet Muhammad may allah exalt his mention taught us innumerable pearls of wisdom , such that even if one-quarter of it were applied today, it would transform the society into an ideal one.
Muslims should learn the blessed and wisdom filled teachings of their Prophet; so not only would they cherish the gift Allah graced them with but also use it in daw`ah to help convey and illuminate the hearts of Non Muslims showing them the justice, the wisdom and much more which our Prophet came with. I personally believe and always say : " Let the article speak for itself" and with this in the Name of Allah i begin enlisting the Pearls of wisdom of our prophet which are not only vital for our society but also equally important for us to achieve inner peace and ultimate salvation. Bear in Mind all of this is 14 centuries old.

PEARLS OF WISDOM 34 – THE PERFECT INVOCATION AT THE PERFECT TIME FOR THE GENERAL GOOD
Umm Salamah reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, would say when leaving the house, “In the name of Allah, I trust in Allah for there is no power or might but in Allah. Verily, we seek refuge in you from being misguided or misguiding others, from being oppressed or oppressing others, from behaving foolishly or being abused.”
[Ref: Sunan At-Tirmidhi 3427]
This shows that every time one steps out of his house, he is more prone into coming across and meeting with people therefore the caution and seeking refuge in Allah from harming others and being harmed is also for the greater benefit to the society and people.
PEARLS OF WISDOM 35 – PERSONAL HYGIENE
The prophet peace and blessings be upon him said : “Five things are from the Fitra (nature): circumcision, shaving the pubic region, clipping the nails, cutting the moustache short and plucking the armpit hair.
[Ref: Bukhaari and Muslim ]
This shows how much emphasis our prophet gave on one’s personal hygiene when it came to his body parts as well. Something definitely to learn from. Many marriage experts recommend this advice to help the couple feel comfortable and nice with each other. What people advice today is something our prophet said centuries ago.
