The Prophet Muhammad, as the ‘founder’
of Islam and the messenger of Allah’s final revelation to
mankind, is the interpreter par excellence of the Qur’an. His
Hadith and Sunnah - his sayings and actions - are, after the
Noble Qur’an, the most important source of Islamic belief and
practice.
For many people, the earthly career of the Prophet seems often
‘too human’ and ‘too engrossed’ in the vicissitudes of the
social, economic and political aspects of daily activity to
serve as a model for the ideal spiritual life. Because of this,
many people who write of the great spiritual guides of humanity
can not understand and interpret him without bias. The Prophet
participated in all aspects of social life - he married, had a
family, was a father and moreover, was a ruler and a judge. He
also had to fight many battles in which he experienced the
painful outcomes of war - in essence, he had to experience all
the difficulties which human life entails. However within all of
these activities, his heart rested in contentment with the
Divine and he continued to repose in the Divine Peace. In fact,
his participation in social and political life was precisely to
integrate this domain into a spiritual centre!
It was the function of the Prophet to be not only a spiritual
guide, but also the organizer of a new social order with all
that such a function implies and it is precisely this aspect of
his being that veils his purely spiritual dimension from foreign
eyes.
Outsiders have understood his political genius, his power of
oratory, and his great statesmanship, but few have understood
how he could be the religious and spiritual guide of humanity
and how his life could be emulated by those who aspire proximity
to the Almighty Creator. From the Muslim point of view, the
Prophet is the symbol of perfection of both the human person
and human society. He is the prototype of the human individual
and the human collectivity. As such he bears certain
characteristics in the eyes of traditional Muslims which can
only be discovered by studying the traditional accounts of him -
as seen in this monumental work, Sunan An-Nabi.
