CHAPTER 18 The Holy Prophet Muhammad sa as a Patron and a Great Teacher 410 Chapter 18 The Holy Prophet Muhammad sa as a Patron and a Great Teacher Our master the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa was sent to such an ignorant people who did not have any parallel in iniquity. He trained these Bedouins with love, kind treatment and prayers to such a high degree and enlightened their hearts to such an extent that they became the shining stars of the spiritual sky.

In the Holy Qur’ a n, God Almighty says, "And who is better in speech than he who invites men to All a h and does good works and says, 'I am surely of those who submit?'" (41:34) Our Holy Prophet Muhammad sa was the authentic demonstration of this commandment of God.
