Lesson
At the end of the subject Chapter, summary of the manners of the
Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) has
been described. That all was according to these virtues, whatsoever He
performed in the life of this world, even that, His war against His enemies was
also based on these ethics. His (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him)
Battles were neither like robbers or plunderers, and nor for exercising
authority over other people as a king, but to establish the life of peace and
safety in the world and betterment/welfare of the humankind.
It was not His
aim that He should inspire with awe by shedding blood of the human beings and
they should be made slaves of Him forcibly, and they should be compelled to
obey His every commandment; accepting Him as a king, and they should continue
to provide the worldly things of luxurious enjoyment for Him.
That period,
when He (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) was sent in the world
as an appointed Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), was extremely
of tyranny and oppression. In the whole world, there did exist such people in every
country who were selfish, slaves of their wishes and very fond of luxurious
enjoyments. Oppressive people used to choose any tyrant and rebellious person
as their leader and support him by establishing their own group. And they used
to compel the public to provide the things for pleasantness of their life by
saying him their king and using his name. And they used to treat the public as
animals. The aim of every powerful person was to keep the subordinates under
influence. The creature of the Creator (Allah Almighty) had been entangled in
the paws of the tyrants. The humanity was near to end and the strong people wished
to eat up the feeble totally and weak people; becoming blood-thirsty ravenous
and fight those who were equal to them for snatching their prey. And everyone
began to increase his strength and there was no other work for mankind save a
general massacre and pillage, robbing, plundering and ravaging in the world.
Nature of the
Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) was
quite against the refractory people. His morality began to become according to
natural temperament automatically; and protection of Allah Almighty was with
him at every step. From the very beginning, He saw the universe from such angle,
which was totally separate from the point of view of such people who had been
entangled in worldly matters. He beheld that if the human being have to live in
this world, for it, this is not the way, which has been spread in the public.
He used to
search that way which should provide security to the human life and save his
soul from confusion, restlessness and disturbance, not only ordinarily, but
permanently. He did not find any such person in the world who might guide Him
for this purpose. At that time, His (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
Him) mind inclined more towards the loneliness. And for which object, the
Supreme Physician (Allah Almighty) had sent him in the world with His especial
Mercy, He (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) began to complete
that task.
