عن كتاب Relationships of the Great: Prophet Muhammad Presents His Brother Jesus to Mankind:
Love is the most beautiful and highest value in both
religion and daily life. There are many causes for the love
of one human being for another. They include an open and
cheerful personality, sincerity and truthfulness, loyalty,
modesty, rationality, fairness, honesty, fine speech, a pleasant
smile, tolerance, attentiveness, generosity and willingness
to consult others and to overlook their shortcomings. They
also include encouragement of an offender to get back
on his feet after having fallen by filling his heart with
hope, not causing embarrassment to others, expression of
humanitarian feelings, willingness to give, do favors and
offer assistance, showing gratitude, appreciating beauty,
upholding human dignity and inviolability, an honest desire
to teach beneficial knowledge, consistency in word and deed,
transparency, willingness to pardon and forgive, preference
of peace, promotion of dynamic activity, perfectionism at
work and a refined sense of humor.
It is for all these qualities that the Prophet of Islam,
Muhammad bin Abdullah, is loved. They were inherent in
his personality and could be found on the surface and deep
within him, in both his public dealings and his private life.
They were the perennial qualities that never abandoned him
throughout his personal, family and social life; be it with


his wives, children and grandchildren, companions, and
even his enemies. Yes, Muhammad, who is a source of pride
for mankind by being the best of its members, is loved for
those qualities. Every man of sound constitution, presence
of mind and active conscience loves such qualities, for a
human being by nature loves everything beautiful.
Indeed, Muhammad bin Abdullah, the Prophet of Islam,
is loved for those qualities. He is loved all the more, and
in an exceptional way, for another unique virtue, namely,
his great love and high appreciation of those leaders of
the human race who preceded him, namely, the previous
prophets and messengers.
What makes this a virtue that merits deep, intense and
unique love? Historical and current events are evidence of
a dark and evil tendency that has plagued humanity since it
came into being and that still exists today. It is the tendency
toward mutual enmity, hatred, envy, rejection and disdain
among people of equal status.
Of this predisposition for envy and ingratitude, the
Prophet of Islam was completely free. He was completely
disassociated from it. But how?
The previous prophets and messengers were similar to
Prophet Muhammad in almost every way: in having been
chosen by God, having received divine revelations, having
delivered divine messages, and having been blessed with an
immaculate moral character.
Prophet Muhammad gave a beautiful and highly
impressive picture of celebration and appreciation of the
prophets and messengers who preceded him. He loved and
cherished them all, rejoicing for the past existence on this
planet of every messenger who spoke of truth, goodness,
