The Leader Of Revolution--Dr Israr Ahmed

We will not doubt be guilty of irreverence if we consider Prophet Muhammad (SAW) comparable to other leaders of historical revolutions in the world.But,nevertheless ,it is a fact that no one in the entire human history deserves the title of "leader of revolution"more than Prophet Muhammad(SAW).This is because all Revolutions witnessed by mankind.Including the french and the Bolshevik Revolutions.-were partial and imperfect ,as they affected only some part of the collective human existence.Thus the French Revolution brought change in the political structure and the form of government,while the bolshevik Revolution mainly changed the economic setup of Russia.On the other hand ,The Islamic Revolution of the 7th century C.E was a total and absolute transformation which affected all aspects of life.Everything changed.Right from the basic metaphysical beliefs to the ethical value-structure ,from the eating and drinking habits to the dynamics of interpersonal relations,from the rites and rituals for worship to ceremonies and customs,and from the social setup and economic system to the political order and statecraft--all underwent radical changes.Indeed this was a Revolution in the true sense of the word.

The Revolutionary Struggle
The endeavor and struggle of Prophet Muhammad (SAW)to bring about the Islamic revolution too was unique and unparalleled in the entire human history,in so far sa all the variegated stages of the revolutionary process were completed in one man's life span.There is no other instance in world history in which a propounder of a revolutionary ideology-starting from theoratical dissemination and going through all the phases of organization,passive resistance ,challenged and armed conflict.[for thirteen years in Makaah ,The Prohpet Muhammad(SAW) called people onto Allah,conveyed the Divine message to the Arabs aand endued physical as well as mental tortures.His companions were put to torture.At Medinah ,when a good number of beleivers embraced Islam ,he checked the trade route of Quraish and other tribes in order to provoke them.He fought decisive battles with Makkan(battle of Badr ,Uhad ,Khandaq near medinnah and the battle of Makkah) ]-successfully brought about a revolution .This,infact is the most remarkable feat of our beloved Prophet(SAW) that,starting the mission of making Islam dominant from his individual self,he established the "Kingdom of Heaven on earth"within a brief span of twenty three years so that Islam was practiced in its totality ,both in letter and in spirit ,throughout the length and breadth of the Arabian peninsula.
