THE HERO AS PROPHET MAHOMET AND ISLAM                              ‫ﻝ‬

from darkness into light. Imagine a poor shepherd people,          ٠‫"ﻩ‬٠ ‫ﺭ ﺭ‬٢‫ﻭ‬,‫ﺃ‬
roaming unnoticed in its deserts since the creation of the
world. A hero prophet was born who received the word from            ‫ﺇ‬
the Almighty which they could believe. The unnocited
becomes the world-notable. Wichin one century Arabia is at
Grenada on the one hand and Delhi on the other! Arabia
shines though the long ages over a great section of the world.
Belief is great and life-giving. A notion becomes great as soon
as it believes. Mahomet and that one century: It is as if a spark
had fallen, one spark, on a world of what seemed black
unnoticeable sand, but 10, the sand proves explosive powder,
blazes heaven-high from Delhi to Grenada! The Great Man
Mahomet was as lightning out of Heaven; the rest of men
waited for him like fuel, and then they too would flame!
