2 x Rules of Muhammad (PBUH)

I am a self centered guy. I want to kill it; success, money and girls. I want to have it all. A life of luxury, fun and joy.

I do not find any example better than Muhammad. I am a follower because I want to win it just like Muhammad. Best fan following. Most long lasting brand. Best customers. And jaw dropping fights.

Two rules that made our Prophet's brand a success

1. He did not bank on people.

2. He did not give up on people.

1 — He did not bank on people

Muhammad had convinced himself there is a God. He had not seen it. Did not find him sitting in front of him in his childhood. There was no God and Muhammad finally managed to find One and put his entire trust on One.

It helped him walk alone his entire life. The initial 13 years of resistance, there were 42 people who walked beside him through thick and thin. And the remaining 10 years he had relatively more following.

Even after the die hard fans, love, popularity, social standing; Muhammad did not bank on his people. His child committing robbery, gets a hand cut. His daughter commits a crime, gets the due punishment. The entire tribe of Banu Qurayza is massacred.

No respect for wife, no fear of judgment, no fear of getting the hits. Muhammad, did not bank on his people to make his brand a success. He was a willing loser, who will not worry a dime, if he did not win his fight.

2 — He did not give up on People

If a person urinates in the mosque, he is loved. If he burns Quran, he is hugged. If he hits and breaks the teeth of Prophet, he is told to teach the kids. He does not imprison people. He does not give them solitary confinements. He does not love for himself what he can’t find for his neighbour. He did not put burden on his employer, mother or tribe. He loved his enemies. He hugged them. He liberated them.

Muhammad was all love and no hate. All principles and no boring, dull, stupid talks. He valued people’s time. He valued their principles. He valued ugly faces, smashed hearts and disjointed tribes.

I can write all night long about the love of Prophet to his people. And I can write all night long about the love of Muhammad to his principles. And I can not convince you; “You gotta be Muhammad to become a good brand”.

Your brand will shine, elevate and impact, the best in the market.

Conclusion

Value Quran. It is the only book Muhammad kept closest to his heart. He fought over it. He defended it. He held it atop his head. He might have written it himself and he might have manipulated it. But the book, brought him to living, conquering and ruling.

I do not find one reason, being purely logical, to not listen to Muhammad. If I want to win, beautify my shop, near my customers and brand my product, I do not find ONE example better than Muhammad.
