Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) a Role Model for Humanity

Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) a Role Model for Humanity. Everyone in this world who trust in Allah and the Judgment day should pursue to live like the last Muhammad (S.A.W). The last Prophet (S.A.W) is a complete source of light and direction. There were many philosophers, academics and ministers of religion throughout the history, but no one was as great as the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). In each age of history, Allah sent his messengers in the form of Prophets to lead humanity. For centuries, the entire world had been waiting for the Last Prophet. When the Muhammad (S.A.W) became a Prophet, this prolonged wait ends. The earlier Shariahs were ignored in his Shariahs favor, which seems to be final message from Allah. His instructions were deemed enough for everyone until the world ends. If Hazrat Musa had been alive, he would have had no choice but to follow me, according to the Muhammad (S.A.W).

Birth and Childhood.

The Prophet Muhammad was born in Makkah in 570 AD to a noble family that belonged to a powerful tribe the Quraish. The members of tribe Quraish were prosperous business people. The traders of Quraish were able to increase their trade along the Arabia west coast, south to Yemen and  north to Syria by intersecting a number of trade routes. The Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) was born on the twelfth Rabi-ul-Awwal, according to the Islamic calendar. He was the son of Hazrat Abdullah and Hazrat Aminah. His father Hazrat Abdullah passed away, when he was still in his mother womb. Then, his mother upraised him with a lot of care and love. Aminah, his mother, died when he was about six years old. After that, his paternal grandparents Abdul Muthalib and Abu Thalib took custody of him. He had been regarded as a person of honesty and high virtuous standards since he was a young boy.

Trustfulness and Trustworthiness.

The last Prophet, without a hesitation, was known for his virtue and honorable behavior from a very  young age and abstained from participating in the corrupt and immoral practices of that time. He was actually a long way away from such activities. Even though the culture at the time was rife with oppression, idolatry, drinking intoxicants, and dishonesty, his honorable and upright character was readily apparent to everyone who know him from a long time or short period of time. Because of this, people in his time began to refer to him as "Al-Amin," or the one who is trustworthy, and in that society everyone was aware of his honesty and stability. He was also known as "Al-Sadiq,". He was respected in Makkah by everyone, regardless of color, race, religion, gender or age because of these qualities.

Equality and Justice.

In order to establish order in public life, Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) established guidelines based on the Quran Pak. Some of these values include speaking out against injustice, the Muslims brotherhood, and helping and standing by one another. Muhammad (S.A.W) set an standard for all Muslims by treating everybody with respect, nonetheless of their religion, gender or race.

The last Prophet (S.A.W) presented an Islamic legal framework as the ruler of Medina State in order to benefit all citizens and give the country real power, peace, stability, firmness, and advancement. There were many different faiths in his state when he was in power. There were people who were not affiliated with any religion, including Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, and polytheists. They were all treated fairly and equally because they were minorities.

Many instances from the life of Prophet can be used to present his extreme tolerance for adherents of other faiths. Crime, bribery, harassment, and bullying were outlawed under his legislative framework. Regardless of race, religion, or ancestry, everyone in Medina was regarded as a resident and a citizen. He protected those of other religions from harm just as Muslims in his capacity as governor. There were provinces with their own systems based on their tribes when he first became the ruler of Medina. These various tribes were united by the Prophet under a single system of government that treated them all equally and according to a single set of laws. This serves as a good model for current leaders.

Noble Qualities.

Due to the admirable traits, Muhammad (S.A.W) was admired by everyone in society. He was considered a perfect example of a brave, merciful, truthful, compassionate and honest person who bestowed mercy and peace upon all living things on this earth. Regardless of race, colour, gender, religion, or faith, the hearts of everyone were touched with his qualities of peace-loving, kindness, mercy, liberality, pleasant and modesty, concern for children and orphans, and respect for the leaders  and peoples of other religions.

The Professor in his book, The Leadership of Muhammad has used samples from the life of the Muhammad (S.A.W) to enlighten his exceptional leadership qualities. He uses the life of the Prophet, elements of Arabic culture, and old proverbs to illustrate important ideas for aspiring and established leaders. She also uses tribal leadership examples and the Prophet's fundamental qualities, such as integrity, moral authority, and humility. In addition, he discusses in this book that how Muhammad (S.A.W) comprehension of Arabian tribal customs enabled him to become an inspiring and successful leader, with an emphasis on the characteristics and character qualities that make the last Prophet a remarkable role model, leader and political figure.

Muslims view the Prophet Muhammad as the greatest reformer and leader because no one has ever demonstrated leadership abilities comparable to those of the Prophet Muhammad. The leadership style exhibited by the Prophet Muhammad, in the opinion of contemporary scholars, is a good example of how to resolve international problems and foster much needed peace.

The month of Rabi-ul-Awwal is observed as a time to review on the teachings and life of the Hazrat Muhammad, including how he handled numerous situations and treated his closest peoples and other communities with respect regardless of race, colour, or religion. The simple way of life of the Prophet Muhammad is an excellent example for all of humanity. He promoted gender non-discrimination, human rights, and equality for all. He present as an example for his supporters, displaying the significance of simplicity in family life and modesty in social interactions.

The Prophet Muhammad was a model family man throughout history. He brought up four daughters. He married them off to devout husbands after educating them. He still rushed to his daughters' homes after they all got married and had children of their own, and he adored his grandchildren a great deal. He set an outstanding example regarding the way of a tranquil family life in line with teachings of Islam by being a loving father and respectful and caring husband to his wife.

He was an exceptional person in his social life in addition to being a successful businessman, reformist, and leader with vision. He was also the governor of the state and a brilliant administrator. He used to donate whatever he made as a businessman to those in need. He was incredibly kind and gregarious himself. He exhorted his adherents to lend a hand to those in need. The Prophet Muhammad was asked by one of his companions what the best deed in Islam was. He responded that it was to feed the needy and poor, whether they were Muslims or not, and to greet everyone, regardless of race or religion.

Life in ‘Hira’ and Prophet Hood.

When Hazrat Muhammad was 38 years old, he decided to begin his spiritual life and spent time in solitude and meditation in the cave of "Hira" (Jabal Hira). The mountain "Hira" also known as Jabal Al Noor or (the Mountain of Light). In Makkah's holy city, Mount Hira is located about two miles from the Ka'ba. A small cave, just over 1.5 meters wide near the top is where Prophet Muhammad would meditate, pray, and perform the zikr ritual in remembrance of the Almighty Creator Allah.
When the Prophet Muhammad was in the cave Hira, Jibrael, an angel, revealed the first verses of the Holy Qur'an (Gabriel). After that, it was gradually revealed over a 23-year period. He began his journey to lead the people in the virtuous direction through mercy and kindness once he attained Prophet hood at the age of 40. Muslims from around the world adhere to his teachings as the final and last Prophet of Allah, and both Islamic and non-Islamic scholars revered and respected his virtues and character.
