True success can be achieved only if one follows the guidance from the Holy Quran, and the teachings and practices of Prophet Mohammed (PBUH). The Prophetic Model is an ideal example for us to imitate in all our activities.

His life is a shining example for all people at all places and at all times. He taught people the Unity of God and the concept of universal brotherhood. His lifetime practices like purity, cleanliness, dignity of work, trade, marriage, charity, humanity, sympathy, love, trust, humbleness, recreation, kindness, ethics, unshakable faith, sublime character etc., range from individual, family community, society to international levels.

The greatness of purpose was to preach the Unity of God and to establish the True religion. The smallness of means was that he lived a simple and modest life. Even though he was a ruler of Arabia he was without any materialistic possession. His influence is so supreme even after the lapse of centuries his teachings and life examples are still held as model.
