Factors Bringing the Success of the Call of the Prophet

The most prominent factors that brought the success of the call of Prophet Muhammad were his own genuine commitment to the religion to which he invited people and his implementation of Islamic principles to his own life. As a matter of fact, he never exempted himself from responsibilities that Islam preached. He was the first one to apply what was made obligatory by Islam and the first to observe what was forbidden. The people closest to him had a similar practice.

Another important factor that led to his success was his persistence in continuing his struggle with patience, rigour, belief and determination without ever falling into hopelessness or pessimism. He carried on with his interpersonal relationships in his call to Islam and benefited from this to a great extent. He not only retained his communication with those who chose Islam, but he also insisted on continuing his existent relationships with his relatives and others who were not Muslims. He paid special attention to tribal chiefs because of the influence they had on their communities. He held meetings and he addressed groups of people in places like shops, bazaars, fairs and houses to introduce them to his call to Islam. He never underestimated anyone when it came to inviting people to Islam.
