IntroductionThe personal touch is important in guidance of the Ummah. Mere book knowledgeleads to varied translations and further division. A sick person needs both thephysician and the prescription. Often he needs the Doctor more than theprescription. Unless there is a competent physician to administer the prescriptionproperly, the prescription remains useless. Allah gave us both the physician and theprescription, The Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu ta'ala alayhi wa Sallam) and theGlorious Qur’an. The Qur’an without The Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu ta'ala alayhiwa Sallam) would not have ushered in the marvellous transformation, in Arabia,which is the pride of Islam.The functions of the Noble Physician have been described in the quoted verse of theQur’an al-Kareem. Accordingly the duties of the Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu ta'alaalayhi wa Sallam) consist of the following:1. To read the signs (ayah) of Allah from the Qur’an and the environment, andthereby communicate the message of Allah2. To purify their souls, which is different from merely conveying the message.That is to purify them to understand the message.3. To explain the real significance of the passages of the Qur’an al-Kareem, suchunderstanding is received when the purification process synchronises theirinsight (basirah) and eyesight.4. Finally to bring them face to face with the wisdom which follows thisknowledge of the signs and action of purification.The Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu ta'ala alayhi wa Sallam) combined in himself theleadership of all the various functions. He was the religious teacher, spiritual guide,social reformer, commander in chief and political head. The four Caliphs thatfollowed inherited this leadership in totality. The temporal power and spiritual leadwere centred in the same personality.Unfortunate events subsequent to the Martyrdom of Imam Hussain (radi allahuta'ala anhu) sounded the death knell of amalgamated leadership. The Bani Umayyausurped the temporal power, and the incident of Karbala and its aftermath paved theway for the modern ‘so called’ Islamic Nation States’ and the external (zahiri) brandof Islam, as followed by these leaders. Those who could see the reality however,continued to flock around the ahle bait to drink from the fountain of knowledge andreality. Under the Umayyad and Abbasid Caliphs these expounders of the internal
