1. THE HOLY QUR’AN

It is an undeniable fact that the Qur’an is a living book that has influenced millions of people through its beauty and style. The superiority of the Qur’anic discourse was, and still is, challenging. The Qur’an itself called upon its opponents to try to produce a discourse that measures up to it.

The Qur’an repeatedly states that if the opponents will produce at any time a comparable discourse, they will automatically disprove the whole faith of Islam. The Qur’an has remained standing above and beyond any comparison in the whole Arabic literature ever since its revelation in the 7th century The Holy Qur’an, therefore, has remained since the time of its introduction until now a great source of attraction for the Islamic faith.

2. THE PERSONALITY OF THE PROPHET OF ISLAM

Mohammad (pbuh&hf)was born under the shining light of history. No cloud has shrouded his birth, his existence or his life among his people. If any other prophet is considered a part of the religious history, Mohammad (pbuh&hf) is a part of both the religious and the world history.

Mohammad (pbuh&hf) was born in Mecca from a well-known father and mother and lived with his people forty years before he was commissioned as a prophet of God. He was observed by the people during his childhood and manhood. He was noticed by all his associates as an example of honesty and integrity. People never found in him a fault. They called him the Truthful, the Trustworthy.

Mohammad (pbuh&hf) did not live as an isolated person. On the contrary, he associated with the people constantly. As a businessman, Mohammad (pbuh&hf) travelled and associated with people from all walks of life, but he was never affected by their low desires or worldly ambitions. He lived in a pagan society, dominated by idol-worshippers, but he never subscribed to their ideas, nor did he join them in their faith. He lived in that world as a world to himself. He was respected by his enemies and admired by his friends, and no prophet in history received as much as Mohammad (pbuh&hf) did of spontaneous obedience from his companions and family (a.s) .
