**“** Perhaps you will kill yourself with grief because they do not believe [26:3].” It is the same personality that will give sighs of pain on those who go astray and do not obey their God, as depicted in the Holy Qur’an, **“** So let not your soul waste away in grief for them [35:8].” It is the same personality which will exhaust itself in conveying the message and urging the people to accept faith and Islam, to the extent that the Creator Himself who is the sender of the message and the one who ordered to convey it, intervenes to limit the overwhelming and extreme efforts of Muhammad in conveying the message.

So we find Allah (SWT) revealing verses such as: • “ Remind them, for you are only a reminder. You are not a watcher over them [88:21-22] *!

* ” • **“** As for him who considers himself independent, To him do you address yourself [80:5-6].” • **“** Surely you cannot guide whom you love, but Allah guides whom He pleases [28:56].” • **“** Do not move your tongue with it to make haste with it [75:16].” • **"** And do not make haste with the Qur’an before its revelation is made complete to you [20:114].” And He (SWT) says, **“** Will you then force men till they become believers [10:99].” And countless other verses which all show and indicate that Muhammad was not just a messenger who was assigned to convey a message and so he carried out a mission which he was assigned to do.

No , and a thousand times NO! Muhammad was assigned to convey a message which he himself loves, adores, and is fond of it! He lives it with all his soul, being, and conscience even before he knew about it and was assigned to convey it. That is because faith was mixed with his flesh, blood, and bones. It was as if it became a non-detachable part of him even before the divine inspiration to him. After all, we may be assigned with a task or mission in our lives and we may perform it well.

But there is a big difference if we are assigned a task which we ourselves love and enjoy and have total faith in the mission and its importance. Surely, that will reflect on our performance of that task. Consequently, our performance of that mission or task will stand as a proof and witness to the extent of our love, conviction, and sincerity of that mission. Previous…
