MOHAMMAD ﷺ

Muhammad's (S) Persona

1. The Qur'an on Muhammad's (S) Persona Indeed there is for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent pattern (Qur'an 33:21) The Qur'an gives us a glimpse of Muhammad's (S) personality in various verses. With Allah's grace, you behaved with them with a kind heart. For if you were vengeful or hard hearted, they may have abandoned you. (Qur'an 3:159) On another occasion the Qur'an addresses its listeners in the following fashion, Among you is a Messenger who is distressed by your difficulties. He is anxious for your welfare, and is generous towards the believers. (Qur'an 9:128) And Muhammad (S) is the bearer of glad tidings and mercy as well as a warner. And have We not sent you as a mercy unto the worlds. (Qur'an 21:107) And have We not sent you but as a bearer of glad tidings and a warner unto all mankind (Qur'an 34:28) The Qur'an extols Muhammad's (S) high character. Verily you are of a high and noble character. (Qur'an 68:4) In addition, talks about the qualities one would acquire by following him. Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find written down in the Torah (Old Testament) and Injil (The book revealed to Jesus). He bids them to the seemly and prohibits the unseemly; Allows unto them things clean and forbids unto them things unclean; And relieves of them of their burden and the shackles which have been upon them. Those who believe in him and side with him and support him and follow the light which has been sent down with him; Those shall fare well. (Qur'an 7:157)
