Join us, every Tuesday, from 4 to 5 pm as Dr Yousuf Raza takes us through the biography of Prophet Muhammad (salAllahu alayhi wassalam), the best human to have ever walked the face of the Earth, a mercy to the worlds!
The importance of the status of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as a role model is defined in the Holy Quran and in the sunnah; this constitutes one of the foremost practices for Muslims.
There is no disagreement among Muslims as to the fact that Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) constitutes the best example with his morality, actions, words and other features.
It would not be correct to demote the Prophet's (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) status as role model to a limited number of fields. This status is related to all fields of life.
Prophet Muhammad's (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) status as role model is important not only from the perspective of the individual, but also from the social perspective. Its binding features and determination of methods must be considered from these two perspectives.
Prophet Muhammad's (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) status as role model and the validity of the sunnah are not limited to his life or to a certain time period. The Holy Quran and the notions of the sunnah state this issue clearly, and the fact that Muslim community practices his sunnah is proof of this issue.
Prophet Muhammad's (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) status as role model and the continuity of his sunnah are the most important components that provide a unifying force in the Muslim world.
It is important to study the lives of the Companions in order to understand and comprehend the status of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as a role model.
