are not found in others and therefore such people have to work to acquire these qualities. However, there are some qualities that must exist to form the foundation of one's nature, and Allah willing (inshaAllah), these will be clarified shortly.

When a person is blessed with an uncountable abundance of perfection and
nobility, it is impossible to even try to express the extent of his worth by one's tongue. And one must know such qualities are only possible as a gift from Allah, the Almighty.
This is exactly the gift bestowed on Prophet Muhammad and includes, to list but a few, his prophethood, being chosen for the conveyance of His Message, close friendship with Allah, the receivership of His love, the Night Journey in which the Prophet was blessed with a vision, Revelation, intercession, mediation, completion of all virtues, high rank, the praise- worthy station, the winged mount Burak, the accession, being sent for all races of humanity, being the leader of all the other noble prophets in prayer, together with his witnessing over them and their nation, and mastery over all the descendants of Prophet Adam, being the bearer of the Banner of Praise, the bringer of good news and warning, bearer of the trust, guidance, being sent as a mercy to all the worlds, the receiver of the pleasure of Allah that, permits him to ask of Him when all of creation are silenced, the pool of (the river of) Kawthar, being heeded, the perfection of praising him, being in the status of pardon that covers the protection from both
