Muhammad (saw) – The Perfect Man — Page 803
Muhammad sa The Perfect Man 803 This is the true meaning of trust in All a h, which the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa taught his followers. Once a bedouin came and said, "O Messenger of All a h, should I secure the camel's knee and then trust in All a h? Or should I leave the camel free and trust in All a h?" The Holy Prophet Muhammad sa advised him to first secure the camel's knee and then trust in All a h. 3 The fact is that this highest degree of trust in All a h was so outstanding, that it had been foretold in the earlier scriptures that this Prophet would put his trust in All a h. ‘Abdull a h Bin ‘Umar ra relates the prophecy regarding the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa recorded in the Torah, "You are My servant and Messenger. I have named you 'Mutawakkal' (one who trusts in God). " 4 In fact this is a reference to the prophecy in Isaiah, 'Behold My servant, whom I uphold; Mine elect in whom My soul delighted; I have put My spirit upon him. ' (1/42) 'He shall not fail nor be discouraged till he has judgment in the earth. ' (4/42) 'I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thy hand and will keep thee. ' (6/42) The Holy Prophet Muhammad sa had total faith and perfect trust in God. Every moment and at every occasion he used to pray with reference to this trust. His Tahajjud Prayer
