PROPHET MUHAMMAD SAW

LEADING MAP
FACED CONDITION

 The prophet Muhammad differs from other political leaders in that he

neither inherited a throne nor seized power. Rather, he established a state
from nothing.

 During the twenty-three years of the prophet hood of Muhammad, there

were many of the speeches, orations or sermons that Prophet Muhammad
communicated through to deliver his message to people. The message of
Islam was not only for the people of the Arabia, but also was intended to be
universal.
HIS TECHNIQUES

 His technique was unique comparing to other leaders. One of the primary
duties of a political leader is to be aware of the surroundings and
circumstances. This would give him the ability to deal with reality to improve
it. The prophet did not seek to build a kingdom. He worked towards
establishing a state, which embraced new principles, which went against
the previous traditions.

 The Prophet Muhammad spent 13 years in Mecca facing war with peace,
violence with calm, revenge by forgiveness and tyranny with the call of
justice.

 During this period, he was able to build a community, which consisted of

people ready to sacrifice their lives in the path of God and the new religion.
HIS CHARACTERISTIC

 One of the great prophet’s characteristics is : forbearance. In the opinion of

Aristotle, forbearance is the middle way between swift anger and passivity.
According to al-Ghazzali, forbearance consists in curbing the power of anger
and subjugating it to the intellect.

 Prophet Muhammad was the highest example of forbearance because Allah

taught him and taught well. Allah says : “Make allowances for people,
command what is right, and turn away from the ignorant. If an evil impulse
from Shaytan pricks you, seek refuge in Allah. He is all hearing, All-Seeing.
As for those who are godfearing, when they are disturbed by visitations from
Shaytan, they remember and immediately see clearly.”

 The command is to be steadfast and seek forgiveness from Allah when you
are angry and moved to revenge.
CONCLUSION
 In his political leadership communication, the Prophet
demonstrated extreme self-control made his followers to love
him and his enemies either to give up and join his religion or to
fear him and stay away. There was no human being had his life
more scrutinized and documented than the Prophet
Muhammad.
 His behavior was perfect with companions and fair with his
foes.
