The Prophet Muhammad’s life and teaching center on the values he espoused in his public communication.  His teachings focus on values identified by Burns (1978) who defines a transformational leader and in addition focus on extraordinary values which are gleaned from a textual analysis of his public communication.  Bass (1985) explained that transformational leaders “inspire followers to transcend their own self-interests for the good of the group or organization” and that “followers become motivated to expend great effort than would normally be expected” (p. 18) when they are adequately inspired.  Muhammad did inspire, and continues today to inspire followers to follow his teachings and public communication and his directives.
