[Pooya/Ali Commentary 68:3] A continuous and abundant flow of Allah's grace and mercy always surrounded the Holy Prophet from all sides in every moment of his life. It was a reward not like an earthly reward that is used up or depleted, but one that was interwoven as part and parcel of the very core of his being which enabled him to do that which was right and proper in any circumstances. He stands on a most exalted standard of character and his life is an incomparable living illustration and explanation of the Quran. It is more appropriate if said that the Quran is a mirror of his most honoured being. His life pattern is now the standard for his followers. The life account of the "mercy unto the worlds" cannot be reported in few pages. In the light of the recorded events of his life, even the worst enemies of Islam, accept the fact that no man better than him ever lived on the earth. Refer to the commentary of Baqarah: 190 to 193 to the answer to the criticism; based upon prejudice and conjecture, by the enemies of Islam. The sublime moral and spiritual excellences of the Holy Prophet manifested in every aspect of his private as well as public life. He lived among the people without making known his ministry for forty years in order to first establish his truthfulness, reliability, kindness, highmindedness, tolerance and wisdom, so that when the announcement of his prophethood would be made, they should have no hesitation in accepting the invitation given by him to worship one God, but those who called him al amin and al sadiq vehemently opposed his mission. Al amin bears a comprehensive range of meanings. Al in the Arabic language denotes exclusive distinction and refers to the person who alone owns the quality mentioned after it. Amin refers to a person who can be trusted beyond any suspicion in whatever he does or undertakes to do. So it was a divine plan to bind the people with their own judgement. The Quran is the only scripture which asserts that its teacher is the perfect model or ideal for the whole mankind, therefore the people must believe in the message he has conveyed to them. See commentary of Ahzab: 21 and 22. Since he was the last prophet, perfection in every aspect of life, material as well as spiritual, was illustrated in him. Refer to the commentary of Ali Imran : 81, Baqarah: 253 and 285, and Bani Israil: 1, to know about the superiority of the Holy Prophet over all other prophets of Allah. See commentary of Baqarah: 2 and Ya Sin: 12 to know that the Holy Prophet and his Ahl ul Bayt are the reflection of the Quran or the Quran is the reflection of their lives. Refer to the hadith al thaqalayn on page 6. Also refer to the commentary of Baqarah: 143; Nisa: 41; Ahzab: 45 and 46 to know that the Holy Prophet is a witness over all other witnesses.
