Why he is loved

Love is the most beautiful and highest value in both religion and daily life. There are many causes for the love of one human being for another.

They include an open and cheerful personality, sincerity and truthfulness, loyalty, modesty, rationality, fairness, honesty, fine speech, a pleasant smile, tolerance, attentiveness, generosity and willingness to consult others and to overlook their shortcomings.

 They also include encouragement of an offender to get back on his feet after having fallen by filling his heart with hope, not causing embarrassment to others, expression of humanitarian feelings, willingness to give, do favors and offer assistance, showing gratitude, appreciating beauty, upholding human dignity and inviolability,

 an honest desire to teach beneficial knowledge, consistency in word and deed, transparency, willingness to pardon and forgive, preference of peace, promotion of dynamic activity, perfectionism at work and a refined sense of humor.

It is for all these qualities that the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad bin Abdullah, is loved. They were inherent in his personality and could be found on the surface and deep within him, in both his public dealings and his private life.

 They were the perennial qualities that never abandoned him throughout his personal, family and social life; be it with his wives, children and grandchildren, companions, and even his enemies. Yes, Muhammad, who is a source of pride for mankind by being the best of its members, is loved for those qualities.

 Every man of sound constitution, presence of mind and active conscience loves such qualities, for a human being by nature loves everything beautiful.

Indeed, Muhammad bin Abdullah, the Prophet of Islam, is loved for those qualities.

 He is loved all the more, and in an exceptional way, for another unique virtue, namely, his great love and high appreciation of those leaders of the human race who preceded him, namely, the previous prophets and messengers.

What makes this a virtue that merits deep, intense and unique love? Historical and current events are evidence of a dark and evil tendency that has plagued humanity since it came into being and that still exists today.

It is the tendency toward mutual enmity, hatred, envy, rejection and disdain among people of equal status.

Of this predisposition for envy and ingratitude, the Prophet of Islam was completely free. He was completely disassociated from it. But how?

The previous prophets and messengers were similar to Prophet Muhammad in almost every way: in having been chosen by God, having received divine revelations, having delivered divine messages, and having been blessed with an immaculate moral character.

 Prophet Muhammad gave a beautiful and highly impressive picture of celebration and appreciation of the prophets and messengers who preceded him.

 He loved and cherished them all, rejoicing for the past existence on this planet of every messenger who spoke of truth, goodness,

and beauty. He believed in every scripture revealed by God to one of His messengers and spoke of the perfect qualities of every preceding messenger.

It is true that the moral standards of prophets are of such sublimity and magnitude that they cannot be equaled by any human being except one chosen and inspired by God.

Yet, to have the names of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus mentioned in the very scripture revealed to Muhammad many more times than his own name is something unprecedented, unusual and most impressive in the realm of divine legislation, ethics and human relationships.

In the Qur’an the name of Abraham is mentioned forty-eight times; the name of Moses, 136 times; the name of Jesus, thirty-six times; while the name of Muhammad is mentioned four times, and Ahmad1, once. Thus, Muhammad is mentioned by these two names a total of five times only.

The reader can himself calculate the proportions of these messengers’ mention in the Qur’an and compare the number of times Muhammad is mentioned with the number of times Abraham, Moses, and Jesus are mentioned in the Book revealed to Muhammad.

This in itself is a scientific and ethical proof that the prophethood of Muhammad is true and certain. No one could reach such a high level of fairness, objectivity and selflessness, giving his peers precedence over himself in profuse commendation, frequent mention and abundant praise – no one other than a true prophet conveying the truth in accordance with what was inspired to him and concealing none of it.

This impression that motivates love for Muhammad is strengthened by other supporting facts that produce love for him as well. For example:
