The study explores how his authenticity contributed to building trust and credibility, essential elements in effective leadership.Finally, the spiritual leadership theory is explored through the Prophet's profound connection with the divine and his ability to inspire spirituality in his followers. The study assesses how his spiritual leadership contributed to the development of a cohesive and resilient community.
