text: who inspires you to be a good person? for me it is prophet muhammad(peace be upon him) he lost everything and became hated and rejected by all those he loved. he could of been a wealthy and powerful man in his society, but he choice to follow god instead. he remained patient in hard times and thankful in good times. he was a good husband, father, friend and leader. his character is one that is hard to find in todays time. in islam we should try and follow his example. and for me he inspires me to be a better person. his love and devotion for god and his companions and his way of life is something i only wish to achieve. may god send peace and blessing upon him and his family and companions.  how about for you all? who inspires you? best answer lies in the reason why. prophet muhammad(pbuh) of course...  for the present, my mom. shes a very religious and righteous person.
