Author: Engineer M. M. E. Hossain

Today, friends, I'm back again. In the second episode of 'Genius Person'. This episode will discuss the success of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in imparting religious knowledge, his success in imparting knowledge of various branches of science, his profound knowledge of law and statesmanship, the writing of the first written constitution of democracy, and military strategy. What a skilled person he was who was able to manage so many things at once. Okay, now let me start my writing.

****Part-2****

***Success in Teaching Religious Knowledge***

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) imparted religious teachings through supreme sacrifice. His sacrifice has made him an extraordinary personality to the people of the world. He himself is the only one to be compared to him. His first religious statement was to believe in one God and declare him as God's servant and messenger. According to Islam, he left behind the five pillars of Islam for his followers. The second pillar is prayer, which is the most important pillar after faith. After the teaching of the oneness of God, prayer has been given more importance. Its teaching can prevent any Muslim from all evil deeds, if he prays this prayer five times a day regularly. The philosophical aspect of this teaching of the Prophet is to refrain from all evil deeds by praying this prayer five times a day and surrendering to Allah. His teaching undoubtedly brings good Muslims to the path of honesty. According to Islam, by the command of God, he achieved unprecedented success in his society during his lifetime by establishing prayer.

***Success in imparting knowledge in various branches of science***

The Prophet of Islam said in his message that receiving the ‘Quran’ from his Lord was his greatest miracle. This Quran is the essence of science. And the message of the Prophet (PBUH) contains a detailed explanation of the scientific discussion of this Quran. For example, in Surah Zilzal there is an Arabic word ‘jarrah’. Which means ‘very small thing’. At that time, the answer to the question “What is this small thing?” was a very small ant. In this modern era, the answer is ‘positrino’. As time goes on, as modern science advances, smaller and smaller objects will be discovered. This word from the Quran is like a living Nobel Prize in chemistry. The Prophet (peace be upon him) taught us how to clean our teeth with a miswak, to expel stomach waste and foul-smelling air by fasting during the month of Ramadan, and to eat food at mealtimes. The Prophet (PBUH) also included abstaining from illicit sexual relations and the benefits of marriage, as instructed by his Lord, which brought about revolutionary changes in Arab society. Shortly after this, Arabs began to recover from various diseases and extensive research in medical science began in the Arab world. It may not be possible to cover everything in this short article of mine. However, according to Islam, the Quran revealed to the Prophet (PBUH) and the Hadith narrated by him are a vast treasure trove of science knowledge.

***Law and statesmanship success***

We all know that democracy was established in Greece. But, there was no presence of many nations or many religious people in that democracy. Which can in no way be called a complete democratic system. The first modern democracy and a written constitution were established by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The area where he established the system was called 'Yathrib'. He later renamed the area 'Madinah'. He was the first to establish a multi-ethnic state system alongside a religious state system. Where Muslims were the majority. With their direct support, the state of 'Medina' was established. After the establishment of the state, a written constitution was created. Three drafts of the principles of that law are given below:

• Religious freedom will be guaranteed for all communities in Medina, but no one will be able to interfere in the religious affairs of others.

• Maintaining law and order in Medina will be the joint responsibility of all communities, and strict action will be taken against anyone who tries to disrupt the peace of Medina.

• Every clause of this agreement must be complied with, and if anyone violates any of the terms of this agreement, it will be considered treason and appropriate action will be taken against them.

The constitution of Medina had a total of 50 articles. A statesman, no matter how skilled, could create so many legal articles. Which was unimaginable in that era. According to history, after he received prophethood, his entire life was a huge jurisprudence for all jurists. And, his statesmanship in that era is a great wonder even in the modern era.

***Success in Military Strategy***

Analyzing the first three battles with the people of Makkah after the establishment of the state of 'Madinah' by the Prophet of Islam Muhammad (PBUH), he was an immense war strategist. The first battle was known as the Battle of Badr. The war that the Muslims of Medina fought against the polytheists of Mecca. In that battle he defeated 1000 Meccan Quraysh fighter by 313 disciplined companions. Then, at Uhud too, the Muslims of Madinah got victory first phase. But, later, the disorganized state of the Muslims and a surprise attack by Khalid bin Walid, the Quraysh commander of Makkah, leveled the battle. Again, in the third battle i.e. Battle of Khandak, trenches were dug under the leadership of the Prophet (PBUH) through which Allah protected Madinah from the Quraysh polytheists of Makkah and the people of Madinah won the battle.

So friends, that's it for today. Very soon I will come to you in the 3rd episode of 'Genius Person' about Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Those who become geniuses, It requires a lot of self-sacrifice. Through which a person can become a genius. And, if the future little friends are to become geniuses, they too will have to be hardworking and self-sacrificing. So, farewell friends. May peace be upon all.
