Holy Quran Says About Prophet Muhammad - And Indeed, You Are Of A Great Moral Character

And indeed,
you are of a great moral character (68:4)
Allah sent
all the Prophets and Messengers to call for the worship of Allah alone, and to
bring people from darkness to light.
This supreme message reaches its culmination through the last and final
Messenger Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), as every Prophet was sent
exclusively to his own people but Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was
sent to all of mankind as Allah says, “ And We have not sent you (O Muhammad) except
as a mercy to all worlds. (22:107).
Allah also says, it is He Who has
sent His Messenger with Guidance and the Religion of Truth. That He make it
prevail over all religion, even though the
pagans may detest it (61:9).
Our Prophet
(peace be upon him) was the wisest of all men, those who could not understand
him called him possessed. So, in every age, it is the habit of the world to
call Truth as Falsehood and Wisdom as Madness. On the other hand, to exalt
Selfishness as Planning, and Arrogance as Power. The life of Prophet (peace be upon him) was
was purposeful and blessed one. His purpose was to interpret in realistic manner the commands and laws of
Allah as Aaisha (Radiallahu Anha) was
asked about the character of Prophet (peace be upon him) by Hisham ibn Amr
(Radiallahu Anhu). She replied, “do you not read the Quran? He said, “yes”. She
said: “the character of Prophet (peace be upon him) was the Quran.” (Sahih
Muslim #746). Prophet (peace be upon him) also said, “I will be the leader of
the sons of Adam on the Day of Resurrection, and the first one for whom the
grave is opened and the first one to intercede and the first one whose
intercession will be accepted.” (Sahih Muslim #4223).
We as
Muslims firmly believe that, “Allah chose him even though he had grown up as an
orphan and was illiterate knowing neither how to read or write. All good
qualities and virtues were perfected in him to the point of ultimate
perfection. Allah supported Prophet (peace be upon him) with physical miracles,
with which he challenged his people. Among the most important of these was the
splitting of the moon and the Night Journey to Baytul Muqaddas (Jerusalem). His
coming was foretold in Torah and
Injeel.”
The insolence
of those who are jealous of his (peace be upon him) charisma is nothing
strange, rather it is to be expected from them.
This heinous crime of blasphemy is never acceptable to any Muslim. Allah
has Himself praised His prophet and explained his status and stature.
He (peace be upon him) will attain the station
of praise and glory [maqaam Mahmud] on The Day of Judgement. (17 :79)
He (peace
be upon him) was given conciseness of speech, was supported with fear cast into
the hearts of his enemies, war booty was permitted to him and he will be
granted intercession. [agreed upon]
He (peace
be upon him) will be the first one among the Messengers who will be permitted
to cross the Siraat. (Sahih Bukhari #773)
He (peace
be upon him) will be the first one for whom the grave will be opened (Sahih
Muslim #2278)
Allah
forgave him all his sins, past and future.
Prophet
(peace be upon him) is the seal of all prophets. So, all human beings are bound
to follow him in toto as no other prophet after him is going to come and the
message which he brought is the guidance till eternity. As Allah says, “this
day I have perfected your religion for
you, completed My favour upon you and chosen for you Islam as your
religion.(5:3).
let me
conclude by this verse (3:31)
Say: “if you do love Allah, follow me: Allah
will love you and forgive you your sins: For Allah is Oft Forgiving, Most
Merciful.
