We are all familiar with the popular images, created by artists, of the most influential people in history; Gods, Prophets, Messiah's and every other great religious figure except one; Muhammad. This seems to aggravate many, yet it intrigues me.
Let's suspend our personal faiths for a moment. Erase the image of every painting or sculpture or carving, whatever, of every artists' rendering of every spiritual being. It's quite difficult with so much of it animating our everyday life, but do your best. When you're ready, imagine not being aware of the place and time to which they emerged. Now, look into the eyes of the next person you see. This could be the face of the one with whom you follow.
