Allah made his heart firm and steadfast, so that it never deviated from the truth. Allah guided his speech, so that the Prophet Muhammad (saw) never spoke ignorantly. Allah safeguarded his Faith, so that he never went astray.
the Prophet Muhammad the Messenger (s.a.w)
It was, to say the least, tremendous news, amazing news, and life-changing news for everyone on earth; The Seal of all the Prophet Muhammad (saw), after a long wait, had finally come to preach his message to mankind.
(What are they asking [one another]? About the great news, [i.e.,Islamic Monotheism, the Qur’an, which Prophet Muhammad brought and the Day of Resurrection, etc.], about which they are in disagreement.) (Qur’an 78: 1-3)
Kings and peoples of foreign lands, nomads, inhabitants of the Arabian Peninsula - everyone was discussing the Prophet Muhammad(saw) and his message. It was as if history temporarily stopped while all people took a collective long, deep breath, so that they could absorb the significance of the Prophet’s arrival on earth. The earth was spiritually barren and dry, given that the last Prophet before the Prophet Muhammad (saw) was sent by Allah more than six hundred years earlier, that the message of that previous Prophet - ‘Eesa - was all but lost, and that very few Monotheists remained on earth. If people starve to death in the absence of food and drink, then the inhabitants of the earth, prior to the advent of the Prophet (saw), were spiritually starved, with no nourishment - knowledge and guidance - to keep their souls alive. Therefore, the arrival of the Prophet (fie) on earth was very similar to the falling of rain in a time of drought. In short, the Prophet’s arrival represented light:
And can light be hidden or shut out?
(They intend to put out the Light of Allah [i.e., the Religion of Islam, this Qur’an, and the Prophet Mohammed] with their mouths. But Allah will complete His Light even though the disbelievers hate [it])
(Qur’an 61: 8)
In fact, it is authentically established that the Messenger of Allah said: “The example of what Allah sent me with, in terms of guidance and knowledge, is the example of (beneficial) rain (that falls from the sky and causes crops to grow)”
the Prophet Muhammad(saw) was therefore sent for one main reason: So that Allah alone could be worshipped, without any partners being associated with Him. He was sent so that it could be said on earth, “None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah”. He was sent to uphold the truth, and to crush falsehood. He was sent with clear proofs; with a wonderful and perfect Religion; with justice and kindness; with peace and love; with safety and Faith; with purity, Prayer, charity, fasting, Hajj, and Jihad; with the concepts of enjoining good and forbidding evil; with noble deeds and good manners; and with uprightness and happiness. He was sent to disprove all forms of polytheism, to destroy all false idols, to eradicate ignorance, to wage war against falsehood and oppression, and to deter people from all base and vile manners. Anything that is good, he guided people to it; and anything that is evil, he warned people against it.
When it came to manners, the Prophet Muhammad (saw) was superior to all other people. And why would he not be so, for it was Allah who guided him, trained him, and refined his character. As such, the Prophet (s.a.w) had the best manners; he was the most truthful human being in speech; he was the most rightly-guided person; he feared Allah the most; he was the kindest of all people towards his relatives; he was the bravest person to have ever walked the earth; he was the most generous of people; he was the most just of all people; and he was, in every other way, the most superior of all people. All of this was a natural consequence of the Prophet (saw) being nurtured, cared for, trained, and taught by Allah.
Because of his wonderful qualities, the Prophet Muhammad(saw) was near and dear to the hearts and souls of people. He was blessed and easy-going, and yet he had about himself an aura of dignity and gravity that suited his lofty character. His face shone with the light of guidance; his mouth smiled with love; his heart was truly alive; and his mind was illuminated with elevated thoughts.
He had the uncanny ability of making all those around him happy, and of making all of his Companions feel at ease. While he loved favorable signs (signs that make one feel that something good will happen), he detested evil omens; The former, the Prophet Muhammad (saw) knew, prompted one to be positive and to act well; the latter, on the other hand, made one pessimistic and deterred one from performing good deeds.
It was the Prophet’s wont to pardon and forgive the mistakes of others. And he was generous, more generous, in fact, than gentle wind or much-needed rain. He subdued people, not with a sword, but with generosity and good manners. With his message, he brought happiness to mankind. Whoever saw him, loved him; whoever knew him, stood in awe of him; and whoever met him, venerated him. His speech captivated people’s hearts, and his noble manners at once tamed and subjugated people’s souls.
Allah made his heart firm and steadfast, so that it never deviated from the truth. Allah guided his speech, so that the Prophet Muhammad (saw) never spoke ignorantly. Allah safeguarded his Faith, so that he never went astray. And Allah supported his mission, so that he was never forsaken or forced into despair. In every way imaginable, he was blessed and guided.
(And verily, you [O Muhammad] are on an exalted standard of character.)
(Qur ’an 68.‘ 4)
(And by the Mercy of Allah, you dealt with them gently.)
(Qur’a'n 3: 159)
The Prophet Muhammad(saw) said: “The person among you who fears Allah the most and is most knowledgeable about Allah, is me.” In another hadith, he said: “The best among you is he who is the best towards his family. And. among you all, I am the one person who stands out as being the best towards his family.” He (saw) is also related to have said: “Verily, I have been sent only to make complete (both in myself and in others) the noblest of manners. ”
All the Glory be to Allah, Who chose the Prophet Muhammad(saw), raised him, protected him, guided him, and looked after him.
