“Do not feel sorry about their wrong acts!” in the eighth âyat of
the Sûrat al-Fâtir, and, “Should you destroy yourself by sorrowing
over their wrong deeds?” in the sixth âyat of the Sûrat al-Kahf. His
generosity was beyond limit. To brake this, the twenty-ninth âyat
of the Sûrat al-Isrâ was revealed to him: “Do not be so openhanded
as to give away all your property!” He never looked at the
world’s temporary and deceptive beauties. During the days when
he first announced his prophethood, the notables of Quraish said
to him, “We shall give you as much property as you like. We shall
marry you to the girl of your choice. We shall give you any position
of authority you want. But give up this sort of thing.” He did not
even turn to look at them. He was merciful and modest towards
the poor and the destitute, and dignified and serious towards those
who owned much property and land. It did not ever occur to him
that he had the choice to turn back even during the most horrifying
moments of such desperate battles as Uhud, Ahzab (Trench) and
Hunain. This shows the strength of his blessed heart and the
degree of his courage. If he had not had full trust in Allâhu ta’âlâ’s
Protection, e.g., in His promise in the seventieth âyat of Mâida
sûra, “Allâhu ta’âlâ protects you against men’s harms!”, it would
have been impossible for him to show such extraordinary courage.
Changing circumstances and conditions did not make any change
in his beautiful morality or behavior towards others in the smallest
degree. Those who read true and objective history books written
by competent hands will understand our statements better. One of
these attributes, alone, could not be documentary evidence for
prophethood, that is, a person’s differing from others by having
one of these superiorities would not indicate his prophethood, yet
only Prophets could have an accumulation of all of these
superiorities. Muhammad’s (’alaihi ’s-salâm) having an
accumulation of all of these superiorities is one of the strongest
evidences demonstrating the fact that he is Allâhu ta’âlâ’s
Prophet. [1]
The third proof verifying that Muhammad (‘alaihi ‘s-salâm) is
Allâhu ta’âlâ’s Prophet is the one that was reported by Imâm
[1] For those who wish to know about the beautiful life of Muhammad
(’alaihi ’s-salâm), we recommend the Turkish books Qisas-i Anbiyâ
and Mawâhib-i ladunniyya. Also, there is detailed information in the
first part of the Turkish original, and in the first fascicle of the English
version (Chapter 56) of Endless Bliss, under the heading Hilye-i
Se’âdet, and also in the fourth, fifth and sixth sections of the sixth
chapter of Why Did They Become Muslims.
