Assalamualaikum (Peace be upon you). I hope all the reader is in good health when reading this. Today I want to share withe the readers who is prophet Muhammad (SAW) and a few of his characteristics as a Great leader. He is the last apostle chosen by the Almighty God, Allah (SWT) because of possessing great leadership capabilities. He (SAW) was always observed as a personification of morality, honesty, truthfulness, understanding of others, and enlightening effective commanding etc. which is why we are directed by the Creator of universe to pursue His "Uswa Hasanah" (the best examples) in every walk of life. So that we as the follower to be successful in this world and the hereafter.
"The Muslims shall not carry out their pilgrimage this year but shall wait till next year. And no man shall come from Quraish without the approval of his master seeking shelter with the Muslims but he shall be returned to Quraish. And that no man from the Muslims shall come to Quraish seeking protection but he shall be permitted to stay with Quraish. They also agreed to abstain from fighting for ten years and that whosoever wished to enter into Muhammad’s pact and treaty could do so, and whosoever wished to enter into Quraish’s pact and treaty could do so. Muhammad (SAW) agreed to this truce which was named “The Truce of Al-Hudaibiyya”
From the above statement, it shows that Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is someone who has a clear vision which at first may be seems to be on entirely one sided but benefits them on the long run. There were two main advantages that were achieved: first the number of new entrants to Islam increased many folds when those who were returned to Qureysh escaped from their masters, lived as outlaws and attacked on Makkans` trade caravans. And because of that, Qureysh allowed Madinans to keep the escapees with them, which lead to entry of individuals into the religion of peace with any fear of retribution. Second, Muslims were less powerful at that stage than the Qureyshis, so it would not be wise to commit jihad at that time, so Muhammad (SAW) entered into peace pact, and took some time to increase in number and resources. Finally when treaty was broken by the non believers, Muslims had a crucial victory in the battle of Makkah. It shows the Prophet`s (SAW) realistic thinking and great vision, which paved the way towards the final coup of Muslims over non believers.
If you do not aid the Prophet – Allah has already aided him when those who disbelieved had driven him out [of Makkah] as one of two, when they were in the cave and he said to his companion, “Do not grieve; indeed Allah is with us.” And Allah sent down his tranquillity upon him and supported him with angels you did not see and made the word of those who disbelieved the lowest, while the word of Allah – that is the highest. And Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.
From the above statement, it show that Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is someone who possessed an unyielding determination. When He was threatened to leave His preaching about Islam, He remained resolute and never backed down from His religious and moral endeavor. When migrating from Makkah to Madina, even when kuffars (non believers) gathered around the cave which they were taking temporary refuge, Abu Bakr (R.A) trembled with fear, but Prophet Muhammad (SAW) remained compose. It shows His valor and how firm He remained on His stance, which is why He never mishandled any of His undertakings and used to stay right at the front of every battle that He fought against kuffars (non believers).
“There has certainly come to you a Messenger from among yourselves. Grievous to him is what you suffer; [he is] concerned over you and to the believers is kind and merciful.” [Quran, 9: 128]
From the above mentioned Ayah, it is clearly refers to Muhammad`s (SAW) sense of close acquaintances with His people, which proved to be vital for getting their admiration and belief in Him. By knowing His followers in person and building close relationships with them, He would appoint the best man for every task, who would readily accept the challenge in the way of Allah and His Prophet (SAW), which eventually resulted in increased output and productivity.
So, to summarize all of this, Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is someone that is loved by all the Muslims even though that He has gone for 1400 years. His stories were the inspiration for all the Muslims of this generation and his teachings (Sunnah) is the things that we as Muslims should follow.
