T. Tactful - Muhammad (peace be upon him) was the most delicate and tactful in his dealings with the people. he never scratched the dignity of someone, even though unbelievers often insulted him and maligned him.

U. Unmatched - Muhammad (peace be upon him) is known throughout the world today as the man who most influenced the lives of so many people during his own time and for all times to come.

V. Valiant - Muhammad (peace be upon him) gave new meaning to the word valiant and he was always most honorable in all of his affairs, whether defending the rights of orphans or preserving the honor of widows or fighting for those in distress. He was not intimidated when outnumbered in battle, nor did he turn away from his duties in protecting and defending the truth and freedom.

W. Wali - the Arabic word, “wali” (plural is owliya) is a bit difficult to bring into english without some explanation. For this reason i decided to leave it in arabic and offer from my humble understanding one of the most important aspects of the character and personality of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Some say the word means; “protectors” and others have said “darlings” or “those in whom you put full trust and confide everything” like the catholics might do with their priests. while still others simply offered the word “friends.” while discussing this subject with one of my beloved teachers, Salim Morgan, he mentioned to me the meaning might be closer to the english word, “ally”. This is perhaps, a lot closer in meaning because when a person gives their pledge of allegiance to someone he or she is taking that person as a “wally” and this is called giving “bay’ah” in Arabic. Allah tells us the Quran not to take the Jews and Christians as “owliya” in place of Allah.

While we understand the people of the book (jews and christians) are the closest to us in faith, at the same time we are instructed here not to take anyone as our “confessor” or “intimate ally” or “one to whom we give our pledge of allegiance” in place of Allah or his Messenger, Muhammad (peace be upon him). The Prophet (peace be upon him) was the living example of the most trustworthy and loyal of all human beings who ever lived on this earth. Anything mentioned to him in confidence would never be divulged nor shared with others. And when he was put in place of authority or “wali” over the people, they found him to be the best of those to be trusted.

X. - Muhammad (peace be upon him) could neither read nor write, not even his own name. In today's world he would have to use an "X" to "sign" a document. He used a signet ring worn on the little finger of his right hand to seal any documents or letters sent to the leaders of other lands.

Y. Yielding - Muhammad (peace be upon him) would yield his own desires and forego his own ideas in favor of whatever Allah directed him to do. while considering opinions from his followers, he often accepted their ideas over his own, preferring to yield in favor of others as much as possible.

Z. Zealous - Muhammad (peace be upon him) was the most zealous of all the Prophets of Allah, in carrying out his mission of "peace through the submission to the will of God." He truly was the most enthusiastic in regard to delivering the message with which he had been entrusted by Allah; the message of "laa elaha illa-Allah, Muhammad-rasululah" (there is none worthy of worship, except Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah).

Alief. "Ajeeb" (amazing) - we couldn't resist the chance for one more letter - even if it is the first letter of the Arabic alphabet ("أ" Alief).
