The Prophet Mohammed (PBUH), is the final Messenger of
God sent to deliver His Message to the entire humanity. He
was a model for all humanity.
Human beings try to imitate the model of someone whom he
admires. The life-style or examples of those individuals is
perceived to bring a new insight and success in their
activities.
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.
The Holy Prophet (PBUH) was an example on how the Divine
Message could be applied in practical form. He demonstrated
the practical explanation of the Guidance revealed to him.
Prior to the advent of Prophet Mohammed (PBUH), the land
of Arabia was in barbaric and uncivilized culture; immorality
and social evils were deeply rooted among the people.
Women were suppressed and slavery was rampant. Ignorance
and illiteracy was common among the Arabs. Within a span
of twenty-three years Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) reformed
the whole of Arabia.
Prophet Mohammed (PBUH), The greatest visionary to
mankind
Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) is the greatest personality in
history. Words fail to convey the greatness of his personality.
He was the living example of all virtues.
He was a person of high ethics and discipline. He was an
impeccably honest man of Noble virtues.
Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) is the greatest of all
standards of human personalities. Michael H. Hart,
in his book, "The 100, A ranking of the most
influential persons in history" has ranked the first
place to Prophet Mohammed (PBUH). He says
".....He was the only man in History who was
supremely successful on both secular and religious
levels"
Encyclopedia Britannica says, "Mohammed is the
most successful of all Prophets and religious
personalities."
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.
He is the hero for all times and his life model is the best
example for humanity. He was a man with greatness of
purpose, smallness of means and with astounding results.
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.
Let us follow this glorious example. Principle Four is to imitate
the model of Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) as an ideal model
in character and competency.
