Page 49 - A Call For Unity

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

The human love, consideration and affection of
our prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him
peace) that bound those around him to the religion
and warmed their hearts to faith is a superior moral
virtue that all Muslims must concentrate on. Allah
revealed these moral virtues of our Prophet (may
Allah bless him and grant him peace), a role model
for all mankind, in Surat At-Tawba:

A Messenger has come to you from among your-
selves. Your suffering is distressing to him; he
is deeply concerned for you; he is gentle and
merciful to the believers. (Surat At-Tawba: 128)
Love, affection, tolerance and compassion are
shared virtues among the messengers sent by Allah
as guides to salvation. Allah reveals in the Qur'an

that He has bestowed "sensitivity to love" on other
prophets, and cites the Prophet John (pbuh), on
whom He bestowed knowledge from His Presence,
as a model on this subject. He describes this holy per-
sonage as having "...tenderness and purity from Us
- he had takwa (respectful fear of Allah)." (Surah
Maryam: 13) Therefore, Muslims who believe and
follow in the path of the messengers must also have
moral values built on affection, love and compassion.

When believers truly live by these moral values com-
manded by Allah, they will see that many issues that
appear to be problematic are easily resolved, that
peace and security will spread and that abundance
and plenty will reign.
