Taking a new look at the great character of the Prophet Muhammad

Abstract

There are many accounts of Prophet's good temper. However, the point is, how typical examples of his temper indicate his personality. Relying on a structural interpretation representing the single notion of every chapter of the Quran, it is deduced that examples of his good temper could be understood by studying Quranic contents. The 68^th chapter of the holy Quran (Al-Qalam), which its theme is regard to offer the Prophet solace, is a case in point. The present research was carried out with an analytical, interpretive, and historical method. Research findings suggest that courtesy, donation, benefaction, piety, modesty, magnanimity, patience, and euphony are defining characteristics of the Prophet.
