Aleabqaria alqiadia For the Prophet (salaa allah ealayh wasalam)
Abstract
The Prophet, peace be upon him, was characterized as a skilled and exceptional military leader, surpassing all professional military personnel and commanders. This demonstrates his genius and brilliance, despite being illiterate and never having participated in any wars. His leadership qualities, noble characteristics, and ethical virtues qualified him to be a perfect example and model of successful and wise leadership, capable of guiding the Ummah (Muslim community) to achieve its goals and objectives. After the Prophethood, he led wars with strategic tactics and emerged victorious, surpassing prominent military leaders. He had a comprehensive approach, paying attention to both immediate and long-term matters. He focused on military construction, including the formation and administration of the army, field engineering, and innovative combat techniques that were unprecedented. He emphasized information security and adopted innovative strategies such as the element of surprise, organized cooperation, preemptive warfare, and the principle of consultation before each battle. He succeeded in unifying the Arabian Peninsula and establishing the first organized army, transforming previously warring tribes. In a short period, he led successful operations that reached the borders of Bilad al-Sham (Greater Syria). However, his military revolution, which spread Islam, was not driven by material motives like conventional armies seeking to establish empires or accumulate wealth. Its purpose was to spread the message of monotheism after ages of darkness and idol worship.
