As quoted, "the sayings of Muhammad are a treasure of wisdom not only for Muslims but for all humanity" (Sohrawardi, 2012). Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) born in Mecca in the year 570 is known as the founder of Islam. Known as the last prophet sent by God, his name, his life, his actions and his thoughts are to this day highly regarded and is demonstrated by the fact that his name is invoked with admiration several times a day by a Muslim (Nasr, 2013). He was recognized for his exceptional behavior and, as a result of his genuineness and trustworthiness, was called al-Saadiq (the truthful) and al-Amin (the trustworthy). In the context of talking about Muhammad's (peace be upon him) role as a prophet, we must go to the past, in which the Quran was revealed. Sixth century Arabia was covered in darkness, as the advancing field of science was then dark to humanity. As a young orphan, Muhammad traveled with his uncle on business trips to Syria. He quickly built a career taking care of caravans that belonged to merchants. First with his uncle and later in his career, Muhammad met many people of numerous nationalities and beliefs, including Jews, Christians, etc. during his travels. At the age of 25, he was employed by a wealthy widow who was 15 years his senior, named Khadija. She was a noble and famous businesswoman from an important family. The Prophet Muhammad spent most of his time praying, which he would do in a cave called Hira, near the city of Mecca, located in a mountain known as Al-Noor. Muhammad holds great importance in the lives of Muslims both as a statesman and a prophet, setting a perfect example of mercy, compassion, courage and sincerity. The whole story has not presented... middle of paper... the condition that he must give up his mission. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) firmly, but at the same time amiably, rejected all their offers. Another aspect that shows the Prophet as a capable and efficient statesman is his potential in managing the economy. The Prophet Muhammad had incredible foresight regarding the religious economic needs of his people. He made arrangements and organizations together with numerous tribes and possessed incredible and adaptable abilities. He taught diplomacy based on ethical quality and honesty and respected all his agreements by protecting his people. Furthermore, the prophet was aware of the surrounding circumstances and made his people prepared and cautious. The different techniques achieved by Prophet Muhammad combined with his unique leadership style played a significant role in communicating the divine message of Allah.
