Assalaamualikum Friend,
When we talk about Prophet Muhammad (saw), there are many names to call him and so many attributes. He was the friend of Allah (swt), the seal of messengers, the noble one and the just one. Scholars in Islam refer to him as the best of mankind and the leader of the sons of Prophet Adam (as).
What made the Prophet so lovable to everyone who met him? Granted, he was a special messenger of Allah (swt), but the Prophet also had noble habits that endeared him to many, brought many to Islam, and caused respect from even those who hate him.
Even though no one can be like the Prophet(saw), we as Muslims can emulate some of his habits in our daily lives.
Habit #1: His Self-Reflective Nature

It is known that the holy Prophet(saw) used to retreat to the cave of Hira to seclude himself and meditate. In fact, it was on one of these occasions that angel Jibril appeared to him with the first revelation of the holy Qur’an.
The habit of self-reflection is one that we need in this fast-paced world of ours. Once in awhile, we need to slow down, contemplate on our purpose in life, and reconnect with who we are. Because it is very easy to keep rolling with the demands of our age that connecting with who we are becomes difficult.
Self-reflection is very important for every Muslim, and as the holy Prophet(saw) took himself out of the world to ponder every now and then, so should we. It will keep us grounded, focused and more in tune with our purpose.
You do not have to sit in a place for some time, doing nothing, you can use your self-reflection time to read the Qur’an and ponder on the meaning, or recite duas that remind us of the greatness of Allah (swt).
P.S. If you haven't checked out the QA Inner Circle to help you read fluently, beautifully and memorise masterfully, I would highly recommend it. Learn more here:
