► This King is pelted with stones. So much 
that blood runs down his face, He is poisoned. 
So much that the poison begins to take away 
his life, He is persecuted. So much that death 
often stares him in the face, When those responsible 
are brought before him for punishment, he says: 
I have no enemy. I may be an orphan but I am 
humanity's father and mother, forgive my children 
for they do not know what they do,Those who set 
out to kill him are captured by one look at that 
shining face, With sword in hand they set out, 
not once, not twice, but thrice, but when they 
see that charming face, they exclaim: we have 
not the power to injure that which we love, His 
dear wife departs this world under the persecution 
of his enemies, His daughter, carrying her unborn 
child, is not spared, Habbaar the fiend attacks her, 
the child is lost, the mother too,Yet when Habbaar 
is brought before King Muhammad,Habbaar asks: 
do you forgive me, the killer of your daughter? 
Muhammad replies: you too are my son and 
you are forgiven, Those who were once barbarians, 
beaters of women, drunkards, and debauchees 
place their lives in his hands...He transforms 
them from drunkenness and debauchery to 
sobriety and piety Barbarians are transformed 
into champions of peace Beaters of women, 
now shed tears in remembrance of their crimes 
begging for forgiveness, Human history has never 
seen such a complete transformation of a society 
either before or since His humility was such that 
it would melt the hearts of the enemy, Despite 
being the King, the Emperor, when people enter 
his presence, they mistake one of his followers 
for the King, for he wore no special clothes and 
sat in no special place, You say he lusted after 
power, wealth and women, but do you not see 
that when the people offered him kingship, money 
and the most beautiful women, he would boldly 
declare, you may give me the sun and the moon 
but I will never stop speaking that, which is True, 
Do you not ponder, do you not realise, do you not 
think, Why is it that people followed him? He 
offered them no power, no wealth, no honour,
He would declare, I have nothing to offer you,
Except that you will lose the honour you have 
in society, You will lose the power you have and 
become the lowliest of society, You will lose your 
wealth to become the poorest, You will lose your 
fathers, sons and brothers, But will you follow me? 
They would cry, we may lose our lives, our freedom, 
our wealth, honour and families, but we can never 
be separated from you, Is this not love? Hate was 
the reaction shown by his enemies, who hunted, 
tortured, abused and brutalised this small band 
of men, He was the one commissioned to end 
barbarism, He was the one appointed to free the 
slaves, He was the one sent to end the oppression 
of women, Why is it that you hate what I love? 
They say love is blind, but I say it is hatred that 
takes away the power to see, The West must 
begin to understand, to investigate what is it, 
that draws the hearts of billions towards one man
it cannot be the sword. The power of the sword dies 
with the sword. It is beauty - true beauty is timeless, 
it is not restricted by boundaries, or fashions and fads, 
it endures and has the power to capture the hearts.
It was this sparkling beauty that captured the heart 
of Muhammad's first follower, his wife Khadija who 
more than all others understood, 
that beauty, is, Muhammad (SAWS).
