Fourthly: History and the Prophet’s (UWBP) biographies show that he satisfied  the  thirst  of  an  army  with  water  flowing  from  his  fingers, [5] that  in  the presence  of  a large  congregation  in the  mosque,  the  dry wooden  support  against which he (UWBP) used to lean moaned like a camel and wept on being separated from him when he mounted the pulpit,[6] and that he was distinguished by close on a thousand miracles attested to by such verses of the Qur’an as, “And the moon split,”(54:1)  referring  to  the  splitting  of  the  moon,[7]  and  verified  by  those  who investigated them.

Fifthly: Anyone who considers the facts and is fair and just cannot hesitate to agree that, as is unanimously agreed by friend and foe alike, good moral qualities were to be found at the highest degree in his person, and that, in accordance with the testimony of all his dealings and actions, attributes and character of the loftiest excellence were apparent in the way he performed his duties and proclaimed Islam. And in accordance  with the fine qualities and conduct enjoined  by the religion of Islam, laudable virtues of the highest order were to be found in the law he brought.

Sixthly: As is alluded to in the Second Indication of the Tenth Word, it is a requirement  of  wisdom  that  the  Godhead  be  manifested.  And  this  desire  to  be manifested is met at the widest level and in the most brilliant fashion by the comprehensive worship performed by Muhammad (UWBP) in the practice of his religion. Also, wisdom and truth require that the Creator of the world displays His beauty in its utter perfection through some means. And the one who met that wish, and displayed and described the Creator’s beauty in the most perfect fashion was self- evidently the person of Muhammad (UWBP).

It was also clearly Muhammad (UWBP) who, in response to the desire of the world’s Maker to exhibit His perfect art and infinite beauty and attract attentive gazes towards them, heralded them with the loudest voice.

Again it was necessarily Muhammad (UWBP) who, in response to the desire of the Sustainer of All the Worlds to proclaim His unity in the levels of multiplicity, announced all the degrees of unity, each at its highest level.

And, as is indicated by the utter beauty of beings and is required by truth and wisdom, the world’s Owner desires to see His infinite essential beauty and the subtle qualities  of  His  exquisiteness  and  to  display  them  in mirrors.  Again  it was  self- evidently Muhammad (UWBP) who in response to that desire acted as a mirror and displayed that beauty most radiantly, and loved it and made others love it.
