The role of the Holy Prophet’s (s.w.a.) purity in the spread of the Islamic call
“Teach them the Book and the wisdom.”(1) What can be inferred from this ayah is that the Holy Prophet (s.w.a.) enjoyed complete knowledge of “the Book and the wisdom”. “… and purify them.” (2) Again what is understood is that the Holy Prophet (s.w.a.) had been purified as much as human beings can be purified.
Having been equipped with this power, the Holy Prophet (s.w.a.) could lead the entire world to purification. This is what is foreign to leaders of different schools of thought and those who have introduced different philosophical, social, political and other concepts. Certain ideas come to their minds and they pass on the ideas to other people without taking action. And certain people learn from them. This is different from what divine prophets would do: from the beginning, they would take action to translate their slogans into action. This was exactly what happened in the life of the Holy Prophet (s.w.a.).
Since the first moment, he took action to teach, to purify and to start a movement to establish justice. For this reason, the battle started from the first moment: from the time when the Holy Prophet (s.w.a.) started his call to Islam in response to “warn your nearest relations”, (3) to the time when he openly called everybody to Islam and made efforts to establish social justice.

Of course, as far as be’that is concerned, what we observe and describe is the surface of be’that. That divine and spiritual event which takes place between the Exalted Creator and a chosen human being is beyond the reach of our minds and our understanding. For this reason, the event is truly great and beyond our imagination. We understand the things that we observe only to the extent our understanding and wisdom allows us to, which affects human beings and the world they live in.
