The Leader that I admire the Most.
prophet Muhammad: مُحمّد
(570 CE – 8 June 632 CE) He was the founder of Islam. he was a prophet sent to present and confirm the monotheistic teachings preached previously by Adam ,Abraham, Moses, Jesus , and other prophets. He is viewed as the final prophet of ALLAH in all the main branches of Islam though some modern denominations diverge from this belief.Muhammad united Arabia into a single Muslim polity, with the Quran as well as his teachings and practices forming the basis of Islamic religious belief
the reason why i chose prophet Muhammad as the leader that i admire the most is Mohammad have the characteristic of a good leader for example: He was largely successful in rallying the Arabs to achieve the aim of one Arab nation based on unique Arab culture codified in Quran.
In his life time Mohammad United the entire Arab peninsula into one nation with one unique indigenous religion that has strong Arab impact.
Mohammad ensured that his followers don't digress, for this he has given extraordinary concessions to Arabs in terms of share in the booty, number of marriages, right over slave women and the like. It was 1300 years later that Sigmund Freud discovered what Mohammad was aware thru intuition. So here too he ensured that digression is the least.
Mohammad changed gears when he arrived Madina but he was able to convince the lead people by his mastery over the language but more because he waged wars on neighbouring Arab tribes for money and young women. This war was called Ghajwa. In fact he changed his life from an ascetic to a womanizer but still his earlier followers did not desert him,rather he got so many young ones from Madina and around. Even some of his enemies like Khalid bun Walid and Ikrimiya bin Abu Hakkam deserted Abu Sufyan and joined the ranks of Mohammad. All those who were young , enterprising , interested in war,booty and women flocked to the ranks of Mohammad
The greatest example of his flexibility is that he fell in love with his adopted son's wife and forced him to leave his wife for Mohammad. Still he was able to convince his adherents and even Zaid ,the victim was convinced. This shows the eloquence and strong convincing power of Mohammad.
So largely i can say that Mohammad as a leader was a great success.
His Birthday was 2 days ago and that remind us as Muslims to always remember him and ask for his shafaat Peace be upon him
He was the first name in the list in the book "The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History" by Author: Michael H. Hart
