Whoever hears the word weak may think that it refers to a specific group of Muslims. However, all people are weak, with no exceptions! All humans have some form of weakness. We were created weak, and we will end weak!
Materialistic societies often crush the weak. Rather, whenever they feel weakness in a person, they take advantage of his weakness to control him and increase their domination over him. But this was not the case of the Messenger of Allah SWT, for he was merciful in all situations, and if he saw weakness in someone, he became more tender and merciful toward that person.
This book presents elegant and interesting images from the Prophet’s dealings with the weak. I have no doubt that the whole world, not only Muslims, needs to read these wonderful images.
