Introduction
As stated in a verse from the Koran, "Mohammad ... is the Messenger of God and the final seal of the prophets. "(Surat al-Ahzab: 40) the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) was the last prophet sent to mankind. It was a living example of the sublime morality of Allah's last revelation. Friend of God, he was able to inspire the noblest sentiments of humanity by his nearness to Him. He was His representative, noble in His eyes, and friend to all believers.
As Allah has revealed in another verse, "We will reveal to you the words heavy (very important )..." (Surat al-Muzammil: 5) , He told His last Prophet, Muhammad, a heavy responsibility. Thanks to the firmness of his faith in God, he has fulfilled this mission in the best possible way, called mankind to follow the path of God and Islam, and its light illuminating the path all believers.
Although we have not had the opportunity to see the Prophet in person, it is possible to do our best to know his exemplary behavior, his words of wisdom, and the pleasing morality he displayed through the verses of the Koran and Hadith (the sayings and deeds the Prophet Muhammad). It is our responsibility to strive to be like him, if we want to be close to him in the afterlife. People today, and in particular young people, like to many individuals as models whose behavior they mimic the style, so to speak, hoping to be like them. But often, these so-called models themselves are far from being on the right path, and lack of personality. So it's a heavy responsibility to lead men to truth and morality to a copy. A Muslim must follow the example of the Prophet's model and aspiring to approach it as much as possible. God confirms this idea in one verse:
Indeed, you have in the Messenger of Allah an excellent model [forward] for him who hopes in Allah and the Last Day and remember Allah much. (Surat al-Ahzab: 21)
Like Prophet Mohammad (pbuh), other prophets were also role models for believers and told them to seek God's approval. Allah says in one verse:
in their stories there is a lesson for men of understanding. That is not a tale invented. Rather, the confirmation of what went before it, a detailed discussion of all things, a guide and a mercy for people who believe. (Surah Yusuf: 111)
Our goal in writing this book is to explain the many virtues of the Prophet Mohammad, and to show how superior features and qualities a society may enjoy when it adopts such a morality, and thus encouraging others. As stated by the Prophet in a hadith, "Verily I have left amongst you the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, and as you will keep you there will not deviate from the straight path." 1 Both guides the safest and most reliable for a Muslim is the Koran and the Sunnah (the words, deeds and tacit approvals of the Prophet Mohammad). The Prophet Mohammad is an example to all humanity because of his morality, and he invited everyone to follow suit and to live by this ideal. It was he who said: "I was sent to perfect good character." 2 and "By Him who is my life in His hands: None shall enter paradise unless you have a good behavior." 3
Any Muslim who claims to follow the path of the Prophet must acquire a good character and behavior marked with the seal of excellence, in order to exhort others to adopt these same principles of virtue.
