Those who are fair-minded will reflect upon the beautiful things recorded about the Prophet such as his praiseworthy style of life, his noble qualities, the evidence presented demonstrating his very high rank and his quotations, and the truth of his role. This in itself has been the cause for many to embrace Islam and follow him.
Abdullah, Shalom's son, who was a Companion of the Prophet and before his conversion been a prominent Rabbi said, "When the Messenger of Allah came to Medina, I went to look at him. When I saw his face I recognized that it was not the face of a liar."
The father of Rimtha At-Taymi tells us, "I went to see the Prophet with one of my sons, when he was pointed out to me and I saw him I said, 'This is indeed the Prophet of Allah."
Imam Muslim and others reported, Dimad was among a delegation who went to visit the Prophet. The Prophet said to him, "Praise be to Allah! We praise Him and seek His help. No one can misguide whosoever Allah guides, and whosoever He misguides has no guide. I bear witness that there is no god except Allah alone without any associate, and that Muhammad is His worshiper and Messenger." Upon hearing these words, Dimad asked him to repeat them saying, "Your words have reached a depth in my heart, give me your hand, I will give you my allegiance."
The Meaning of Prophethood and Messengership
Dear reader, as one finds in cases with certain prophets, Allah can bring about direct knowledge about Himself, His Essence, His Names, His Attributes and all of His commands at the same time in the hearts of His worshipers without an intermediary, and one recalls the words of Allah that say, "It does not belong to any human that Allah should speak to him except by Revelation" (42:51). However, it is permitted that knowledge of such matters can reach them by means of an intermediary, if Allah wills, who transmits His words to them. The intermediary may or may not be human, as in the case of prophets they can be angels, or prophets to their nation. Intellectual proof dictates that it is permissible and not impossible.
The messengers brought miracles to clearly show they are truthful and thereby necessitate their being confirmed in all they brought because miracles are, for the most part, accompanied by a challenge from the respective prophet. This is rooted in the words of Allah as if He said, "My worshiper has spoken the truth, therefore obey him and follow him." From this example we are made aware that Allah is in fact testifying to the truthfulness of the Prophet . To say more would be to go beyond the purpose of this book. Whosoever wishes to discover more details will find the subject covered in the Islamic references.
