AN IMPORTANT ASPECT OF TRUE
FOLLOWING
Another important
aspect of such true
following is to consider the direction, as a whole, of the
Prophet Muhammad's impeccable life!
In this world every individual, consciously or unconsciously, sets an aim for himself. His efforts and struggle are then directed towards achieving that aim. A person may work hard and strive in his profession to reach successively higher levels of excellence in its expertise and to make a position for himself.
Like any professional, a politician too has an aim. He yearns for occupying an important post in the Government and for the reins of power to be in his own hands and of his (political) party. A businessman too has an aim. He works hard and toils burning the midnight oil, ordering goods from and dispatching them to every nook and comer of the world. He keeps a close eye on price fluctuations in markets all over the world. The entire gamut of his activities is dictated by his aim.
- What was the task for which the Prophet (SAW) worked so hard?
- What thought occupied his mind throughout his life?
- Towards what aim were all his efforts and striving directed?
- What was the aim for which the Prophet (SAW) lived a life of such grueling effort?
