Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) – The Pioneer of Great Revolution!

The Arabia before the advent of Islam, famous for its hereditary feuds and blood enmities, is well known. Picking up quarrels over petty issues, fighting and devastating was the general practice of the Arabs. Time and again the swords came out of their sheaths over common matters. Such were the conditions when God sent His Messenger, Muhammad (P.B.U.H.). It was one of the leadership aspects of this man that he, not only brought together these belligerent and confronting tribes amicably, but, breaking the artificial barriers of the mountains and rivers, created such an international society which brought to and end all the discrimination of black and white, Arab and non-Arab, Muslims and non-Muslims, and master and slave. Bilal of Abyssinia, Suhaib of Rome and Salman of Persia became one family.

In this blood-stained region of Arabia thick with human gore, where the swords were always causing a downpour of blood, the heavens witnessed an amazing spectacle where the Emigrants from Mecca and the Helpers from Medina were seen embracing each other and relations of fraternity and equality being established among them. The Ansar were found even disturbing their lands, houses and gardens to offer help to their refugee brethren. They were even prepared to shed their blood in place of their sweat. The Qur’an reminding the believers of this glorious revolution says: “But call to mind the blessing of Allah upon you when you were enemies (one to another). Then He created the bond of love among your hearts, and by His blessing you became brothers. And you (had reached) the brink of a pit of Fire (of Hell) but He rescued you from it. That is how Allah elaborates His Signs to you so that you may take guidance to the right path” (Al-Imran 103).

...ated in his own self an ideal model of human life in its most perfect and standard form. He has exhibited lives of thousands and thousands of his followers as were modeled in the mould of the Quran. After all how many monomaniacs of the Prophet amongst human beings are there, who are determined to fashion their lives in this pious mould and to inculcate new human values in their personalities?
