The Prophet Muhammad A simple Guide to his Life
The Prophet in the Qur’an
~ 41 ~
Through certain examples God made this matter
clear. For instance, the Prophet of Islam underwent
great hardship. His experiences broadened his
vision, making him more confident. Ironically, his
opponents’ false propaganda became the means of
spreading his message far and wide, etc.
The followers of the Prophet of Islam should also
inculcate this same mentality among themselves.
They should develop within themselves the
capacity to turn minuses into pluses and convert
hardship into ease.
THE SUSTENANCE OF GOD
Addressing the Prophet of Islam, the Qur’an states:
“Do not strain your eyes towards the worldly
benefits We have bestowed on some of them, for
with these we seek only to try them. Your Lord’s
provision is better and more lasting. Enjoin prayer
on your people and be diligent in its observance.
We
demand nothing of you: We
shall Ourself
provide for you. Blessed shall be the end of the
devout.” (20:137-132)
