Iman Nawawi (Mercy of Allah is on him) has written in his Tahzib that Allah (the most high) had assembled all the Excellencies and virtues of character and habits in the person of the Holy Prophet (صلي الله عليه وسلم). Allah the most High) had endowed him with all the knowledge of the ancient and later peoples, even thought he was unlettered – being unable to read an write0 and had no human teacher; yet he had been endowed with such knowledge as Allah (The Most High) had not bestowed on anyone else. He was offered keys to the mundane treasures but he preferred the hereafter to the worldly riches (صلي الله عليه وسلم).

Hazrat Anas (Allah be pleased with him) has related that the Holy Prophet (صلي الله عليه وسلم) was the greatest possessor of knowledge and wisdom. He was the most honorable, just, humane and forbearing, virtuous and chaste, beneficent, patient and fortitudinous of all men, peace be on him. Bukhari and Muslim have related on the authority of Hazrat Anas (Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (صلي الله عليه وسلم) was more handsome, courageous and generous than anyone else because he was the noblest of all men, and he was the most even-tempered. Definitely, the acts and deeds of one possessing these merits will be a model of the best deeds, He will possess the comeliest face and his character will be of the highest standard. The Holy Prophet (صلي الله عليه وسلم) was therefore, the Agglomeration of all the qualities of bodily and spiritual perfection.

May Allah bless him, infinitely
