Those Muslims who follow the way of the Prophet (saas) need to be foremost in their morality and behaviour, and to invite others to adopt that same morality.For other Biblical people with this name, see Shemaiah. Those who disbelieve use fallacious arguments to deny the truth. We only send the Messengers to bring good news and to give warning. It was the Prophet (saas) who said "I was sent to perfect good character" 2 and "By One in whose hand there is my life: None shall enter Paradise except one who has got good conduct." 3 The Prophet Muhammad (saas) was an example to all humanity with his morality, to which he called on mankind to live by. As the Prophet (saas) has revealed in the hadith, "Verily, I have left amongst you the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Apostle which if you hold fast, you shall never go astray," 1 a Muslim's two truest guides are the Qur'an and Sunnah (the practice of the Prophet Muhammad (saas)). The aim in writing this book is to introduce various characteristics of the Prophet Muhammad (saas), by showing the superior features and qualities a society may enjoy when it adopts such a morality, thus encouraging others to adopt that same morality. This is not a narration which has been invented but confirmation of all that came before, a clarification of everything, and a guidance and a mercy for people who believe. There is instruction in their stories for people of intelligence.
Like the Prophet Muhammad (saas), the other prophets were also role models for believers, and enjoyed Allah's good pleasure. You have an excellent model in the Messenger of Allah, for all who put their hope in Allah and the Last Day and remember Allah much. A Muslim needs to try to emulate the behaviour and the morality of the Prophet Muhammad (saas). It is therefore a serious responsibility to lead people to the truth and the best morality and behaviour. Yet, since the great majority of these people are not on the right road themselves, they lack proper morality and attitudes. People today, and the young in particular, take many individuals as role models, imitate the way they behave, speak and dress, and try to be like them.
We can try to be like him, in order to be close to him in the hereafter. (A Noble Messenger) possessing great strength, securely placed with the Lord of the Throne, obeyed there, trustworthy.Īlthough we have never seen the Prophet (saas), we can still do our very best to come to know his exemplary behaviour, his sayings and the pleasing morality he displayed, by means of the verses of the Qur'an and the hadiths (the sayings and teachings of the Prophet (saas). Due to the Prophet's (saas) strong faith in Allah, he fulfilled that responsibility in the best possible way, called mankind to the path of Allah and Islam, and illuminated the way for all believers. He was His representative, noble in His Sight, and a friend to all believers.Īs Allah has revealed in another verse, "We will impose a weighty Word upon you." (Surat al-Muzammil: 5), he charged His last prophet, Muhammad (saas) with a heavy responsibility. He was a friend of Allah and inspired humanity by his nearness to Him. He was a living example of the sublime morality of Allah's last revelation. As revealed in a verse of the Qur'an, "… Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah and the Final Seal of the Prophets." (Surat al-Ahzab: 40), the Prophet Muhammad (saas) was sent to mankind as the last prophet.
