The Prophet Muhammad A simple Guide to his Life
The Personality of the Prophet of Islam
~ 76 ~
We learn from traditions that, after entering
Makkah, he stood at the gate of the Kabah and said:
“There is no god but the one God. He has no
partner. He fulfilled His promise, helped His
servant and defeated His opponents all alone.”
(Seerah ibn
Hisham, p.33)
Victory is an occasion for joyous celebration, for
displaying pride, etc. But such activities are
indulged in only by those whose eyes are on their
own selves; who regard victory as their own
achievement. But the psychology of the Prophet of
Islam was totally different. For him the victory
was only apparently his own achievement. For
him it was God alone who was the author of his
success.
A PRAYER
Many prayers of the Prophet of Islam, recorded in
the books of
Hadith,
tell us of his inner personality.
They tell us the kind of tumultuous feelings, which
constantly convulsed his heart and mind, and what
kinds of feelings and thoughts found a place in his
inner self.
