But each of these pales in comparison to the eloquence of the Messenger of Allah (upon him be peace)and philosophers and sages seem nothing more than struggling students in the light of his divinely inspired wisdom. Bookstores and libraries today are full of books of proverbs, coined by historical personages and political and religious leaders. The Messenger (upon him be peace) himself said, “I have been sent with the jawami’ al-kalim” (Bukhari) that is, succinct language that expresses a multitude of meanings in few words. His words were eloquent, comprehensive, and simple, conveying libraries of wisdoms and truths. A Manual of Prophetic Hadiths with Commentary of Shaykh Ashiq Ilahi al-Bulandshehri’s Zad al-Talibin Imam Nawawi wrote: “The science of hadith is the noblest means of attaining closeness to the Lord of the Worlds.” The Messenger of Allah (upon him be peace) was given exceptional oratorical skills.
