PROPHET MUHAMMAD’S GREAT PERSONALITY
PROPHET MUHAMMAD’S GREAT PERSONALITY
Muhammad, from his childhood, through his youth, through his prophethood until his death, has been seen by fair people, throughout history, as a special and great personality in his unique character and morals. He was merciful, honest, sincere, kind, and humble. Every detail of his private life and public utterances has been accurately and authentically documented and faithfully preserved up to the present day.
He was a prophet, a messenger, a religious teacher, a social reformer, a moral guide, a leader, a statesman, a faithful friend, a wonderful companion, a devoted husband, a loving father.
In this regard, Ramakrishna Rao, an Indian Professor of Philosophy, in his booklet, Muhammad: The Prophet of Islam, calls him the "perfect model for human life." Prof. Rao clarifies:
“The personality of Muhammad, it is most difficult to get into the whole truth of it. Only a glimpse of it I can catch. What a dramatic succession of picturesque scenes! There is Muhammad, the Prophet. There is Muhammad, the Warrior; Muhammad, the Businessman; Muhammad, the Statesman; Muhammad, the Orator; Muhammad, the Reformer; Muhammad, the Refuge of Orphans; Muhammad, the Protector of Slaves; Muhammad, the Emancipator of Women; Muhammad, the Judge; Muhammad, the Saint. All in all these magnificent roles, in all these departments of human activities, he is alike a hero."
Historically, during a short period of about twenty three years of his Prophethood, he changed the complete Arabian peninsula…
• From paganism and idolatry to submission to One God…
• From tribal quarrels and wars to solidarity and cohesion…
• From drunkenness and debauchery to sobriety and piety…
• From lawlessness and anarchy to disciplined living…
•From utter moral bankruptcy to the highest standards of moral excellence.
Human history has never known such a complete transformation of a society or a place before or since - and imagine…all these unbelievable wonders in just over two decades.
