English book · THE RELIGION OF HUMANITY: Islam’s Ethical and Spiritual Outlook

An Example of Noble Character

English book, p. 360

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

There is no doubt that the life of the Prophet serves as one of the best models to follow. However, to truly grasp the depth of this model, a person must be sincere and a genuine seeker of truth—someone so deeply acquainted with the reality of life that everything apart from the truth appears empty. Their spiritual perception must reach a point where the remembrance of God becomes their foremost intellectual concern. When a person reaches a higher level of spirituality or intellectual development, they become profoundly aware of reality. Only a genuine seeker of truth can understand the life of the Prophet in all its depth. The degree of a person’s insight into reality determines how deeply they are able to comprehend the subtle meanings and hidden wisdom in the Prophet’s life. Studying the life of the Prophet is like diving into an ocean of spiritual knowledge. This deep exploration will continue until the end of the existing world. According to their own capacity and determination, people will go on drawing new pearls of wisdom from this ocean. In every era, individuals will continue to enrich themselves with the treasures of the Prophet’s legacy—a legacy that can never be exhausted. EVIDENCE OF PROPHETHOOD In the Quran, regarding the Prophet of Islam, God states: “God knows best whom to appoint as His Messenger.”
