The following saying -- Hadith -- is proof that Muhammad, Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam, is truly a prophet and messenger of God -- just as he claimed he was.
He says, and that means it is a Hadith Sharif:
"A single Learned Individual is harder for the Devil to deal with than a 1000 pious people who may be absorbed all the time in worshiping God and in doing penance."
And then he says in what is another Hadith:
“I was only sent into this world as an educator.”
Innamaa Bu'th-tu Mu'alliman.
Just think about it for a moment! How astounding and miraculous that statement sounds in and of itself!
But then consider the fact that all this was happening in early 7th Century! When most people had no clue what education was all about. And when, in fact, most people were not even allowed access to education or to teachers or to books.
Well, it seems to me, that is what real miracles are made of, in case you really wanted to know.
And that is what gives added credence to the claim that Prophet Muhammad, Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam, was indeed truly a prophet and messenger of God -- just as he claimed he was.
