THE MATCHLESS PROPHET

Words fall short of describing the true beauty of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam). Languages complain of their poverty, for the sake of blessings, the beauty of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) has been described in brief. If His beauty is revealed in its entirety, we will not be able to bear the radiance of His matchless personality.

Imam Qustullani (May Allah shower His Mercy on him) relates on the authority of Imam Qurtubi: "The Holy Prophet's (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) beauty has not been revealed completely to us. If it was done so, then our eyes would not be able to bear His sight.”

A description of His beauty shows that He (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) is the best of all human beings. The matchless radiance of His face; the extraordinary reach of His sight and hearing; His miraculous eloquence; the blessings of His saliva, the power of His hand, grandeur and eminence in His whole person are clear proof that there is none like Him in the world and there is no parallel to Him in the spiritual worlds. The way the dwellers of this world discuss His matchlessness, in the same way, His minister in the spiritual world, Hadhrat Jibrail (Peace be upon him) also declares His superiority. Baihaqi, Tabarani and Asaker relate a Tradition: "I have combed the east and west of the earth, but I have not found any one as eminent as Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam).
