IN THE SHADE OF THE MESSAGE AND PROPHETHOOD - IN THE CAVE HIRA:

5] The verses have been prefaced, in the voice of the Most High, by
aheavenly call mandating the Prophet (Peace be upon him) to undertake
this daunting responsibility (calling people unto Allâh). The verses
meant to extract him forcibly out of his sleep, divest him of his
mantle and detach him from the warmthand quiet of life, and then drive
him down a new course attended with countless hardships, and requiring
a great deal of strife in the way of Allâh:
*.
*. "O you [Muhammad (Peace be upon him) ] enveloped (in garments)!
Arise and warn." [74:1-2]
Suggesting that to live to oneself is quite easy, but it has been
decided that you have to shoulder this heavy burden; consequently
sleep, comfort, or warm bed are items decreed to be alien in your
lexicon of life. O Muhammad, arise quickly for the strife and toil
awaiting you; no time is there for sleep and such amenities; grave
responsibilities have been Divinely determined tofall to your lot, and
drive you into the turmoil of life to develop a new sort of precarious
affinity with the conscience of people and the reality of life.
The Prophet (Peace be upon him) managed quite successfully to rise to
his feet and measure up to the new task, he went ahead in a spirit of
complete selflessness, relentlessly striving and never abating in
carrying theburden of the great Trust, the burden of enlightening
mankind,and the heavy weight of the newfaith and strife for over
twenty years, nothing distracting his attention from the awcommission.
May Allâh rewardhim, for us and all humanity, the best ending. The
following research at hand gives an account in miniature of his long
strive and uninterrupted strugglehe made after receiving the ministry
of Messengership./
