PROPHET MUHAMMAD
Humankind came to know true civilization by means of the
Prophet Muhammad, upon him be peace and blessings, and favored it. All efforts
exerted after him for the sake of true civilization have been no more than
practicing or trying to practice the principles he brought and adjusting them
to new conditions. For this reason, he deserves to be called the founder of
true civilization.
It was
the Prophet Muhammad, upon him be peace and blessings, who
rejected indolence and the lazy and esteemed labor as a mode
of worship and applauded the hard-working. He directed his
followers to horizons beyond the age in which they lived and
taught them how they cold be the element of balance in of
balance in the world.
The
Prophet Muhammad, upon him be peace and blessings, is unequalled
in that he appeared as a sword of valor and eloquence against
unbelief and savagery. He proclaimed the truth with the clearest
voice and showed mankind the ways to true existence.
If there
is ever a person whom ignorance, unbelief and brutality hate
the most, it is Muhammad, upon him be peace and blessings.
Those who search for truth and thirst for true knowledge eventually
will seek him out and embrace his path.
It was
the Prophet Muhammad, upon him be peace, who proclaimed true
freedom to humanity, and ingrained in human consciousness
that all human beings are equal before the law. He established
that superiority lies in virtue, piety, and morality. He regarded
proclaiming the truth against all oppressors and oppressive
thought as a kind of worship.
Muhammad,
upon him be peace and blessings, called upon us to protect
religion, life, reason, property and the integrity of family
and lineage, and to strive for this purpose. In a remarkably
balanced way, he proclaimed that no other duty could equal
this struggle.
Muhammad, upon him be
peace and blessings, unveiled the transitory nature of this
world and death, and showed the grave to be a waiting room
opening onto the realm of eternal happiness. He led every
heart seeking happiness, regardless of place or time, to the
fountain of Khadr, and enabled them to drink the elixir of
immortality.
