created. The early generations of Muslims differ whether or not the qualities of
one's character are inherent or acquired. Al Hasan Al Basri said, "In a worshiper of Allah a good character is inherent and a natural disposition."

Praiseworthy qualities and noble attributes are numerous. However, it is our
intention not to mention their basic principals but indicate to them. If Allah
wills, we will verify and establish the fact that the Prophet had all of these qualities.

Prophetic intellect is the root of each of Prophet Muhammad’s honorable ethics


Knowledge in all its forms is rooted in intellect. It is the source and nucleus from which knowledge and faith springs. Intellect produces a sharp understanding, clear perception, precise observation, sound opinion, awareness of what is best for one's self, striving in self-denial, judgment, management, the attainment of virtues and avoidance of vices.

In previous sections we have drawn the reader's attention to indications of the Prophet's intellect and the tremendous depth of his knowledge, knowledge of which no other human being had, has or will ever possess. Those who have taken the time to investigate his characteristics recognize and verify that the majesty of his rank is perfected.

Reflect upon the life of Prophet Muhammad the wisdom of his sayings, his knowledge of the contents of not only the Torah, but also the lost Gospel given to Prophet Jesus*, the revealed Books, the wisdom of the sages, the ability to distinguish truth from falsehood, the history of bygone nations and their battles, his use of colloquialism, administration, establishing Islamic Law, and the example of his incomparable manners and praiseworthy habits. (Shaykh Darwish added: Prophetic intellect is the root of each of his honorable ethics. Darwish draws your attention to the overlooked fact that the New Testament, found in the Christian Bible is not the Gospel given to Prophet Jesus by Allah, rather, it is the teachings of Paul who was not a disciple of Jesus. Paul is responsible for corrupting the purity of the teachings of Jesus who taught that Allah is One, alone, the Creator of all things, and does not have a partner. Paul substituted the Oneness of Allah for the concept of three gods in one and called it the trinity.)

In each sector, scholars emulate the words and example of the Prophet as a proof, such as in the interpretation of visions, medicine, the division of inheritance, lineage, and their like which, if Allah wills, will be made clear in the book illustrating his miracles.

It is an established fact that our Prophet could neither read nor write and it wasn't until Allah expanded his chest, clarified his affair, taught him and enabled him recite the Holy Koran that, he knew anything of these matters. These virtuous intellectual qualities were neither attained through tutored learning, instruction, or the reading of previous Holy Books.
