Kesabaran dan Ketelitian Rasulullah SAW dalam Kitab Rahmah Lil 'Alamin Muhammad Rasul Allah

Abstract

This article aims to examine and analyze in depth two major prophetic values embodied by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), namely patience (ṣabr) and meticulousness (tathabbut), as portrayed in Rahmah lil ‘Alamin Muhammad Rasul Allah by Sa’id ibn ‘Ali ibn Wahf Al-Qahtani. This study employs a qualitative approach using a library research method, drawing upon the aforementioned book, authentic hadiths, and relevant scholarly literature. The data were analyzed through content analysis to identify the meanings, manifestations, and contemporary relevance of patience and meticulousness in the life of the Prophet Muhammad. The findings reveal that the Prophet’s patience was not merely reflected in his endurance of personal suffering, rejection, and various life trials, but also functioned as a strategy of social transformation grounded in compassion, wisdom, and self-restraint. Meanwhile, his meticulousness was demonstrated through careful decision-making, verification of information, and thoughtful consideration of benefits and consequences before taking action. The novelty of this study lies in its integrative analysis of ṣabr and tathabbut as a unified framework of prophetic ethics that serves not only as a moral virtue but also as an epistemological and social paradigm for addressing character crises, instant culture, and misinformation in the digital era. The academic contribution of this research is the enrichment of prophetic ethics discourse within Islamic character education by formulating the interconnection between spiritual, moral, and intellectual dimensions, which can serve as a foundation for the development of Islamic education, da‘wah, and community empowerment in contemporary society.
