The personality of prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is exemplary and impeccable. He has been sent by Almighty Allah as mercy to the entire mankind and the universe. He taught the taught ones to live life as simple and as courtesy. As the founder of Islam, a religion with over billion followers, Muhammad is beyond all doubt one of the most influential figures in world history.The ideal life of prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is the lesson for us to learn. He is matchless in his character, conduct, life and teachings. Muhammad has spread the message of peace, love and fraternity. His traditions are rich with such noble examples where he has not even left the nonbeliever in trouble. Whenever there is help need prophet Muhammad (PBUH) come forward.The life span period of Prophet Muhammad is model for the entire world special the believers to him. He taught simplicity, justice, equality and peace. It is said that the people of other religions were so inspired from the character of Muhammad that they used to keep their valuable assets as consign to the prophet Muhammad at his home. The proof of this fact that the Last Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is Sadiq and Ameen ( trustworthy and faithful). He is not only the role model for Muslim Ummah but also for the entire mankind irrespective of their religion. He has treated all the creations with humility and kindness.The world renowned scholar and the leaders have praised prophet Muhammad ( PBUH) as spotless in character and ambassador of peace, fraternity and the unity. The Mahatama Ghandi the leader and the founding father of India has rightly once said about Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), “..I became more than convinced that it was not the sword that won a place for Islam in those days in the scheme of life. It was the rigid simplicity, the utter self-effacement of the Prophet, the scrupulous regard for his pledges, his intense devotion to his friends and followers, his intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute trust in God and in his own mission.”He is the messenger for all creation. Allah sent Muhammad as mercy. He is a teacher who told the importance of education in the society. There is saying of prophet Muhammad (SAWW) kept emphasized that seek education from cradle to grave. Education is such a prerequisite that one has to travel to China to avail education. Undoubtedly, he is the justice who has set the principles of justice. All the useful parameters of law for adjudication are compiled by him in the light of the holy Quran. The laws of nature are so apt that they can not be questioned for its beauty and making. Likewise the prophet Muhammad has told the essential laws and its validity in the court of justice. He has directed that in the face of law they are equal. There is no one above the law. As it is narrated in one of the tradition of prophet Muhammad where he kept saying that even if my daughter ‘Fatima’ is proved guilty of theft I shall pass the judgment to cut her hands.Prophet Muhammad has cared the animals and told very emphatically that they have the rights. The story of two women: “A prostitute was guided by Allah’s truth and ultimately went to paradise because she gave water to a dog dying of thirst in the desert.” While a dog was going round a well and was about to die of thirst, the prostitute saw it and took off her shoe and made it drink water. So, Allah forgave her because of that good deed.” And for the other women, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, “A woman was tortured and was put in Hell because of a cat which she had kept locked till it died of hunger.” Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) further said, “She neither fed it nor made cat drink water by looking it up. She did not set it free to eat the insects of the earth.”The Holy Prophet (PBUH) teaches us to take care of animals by feeding them properly. A religion which grants rights to animals and insects is worth respecting. The Holy Quran says ‘Saving the life of one, is saving the lives of the entire humanity.“Verily, there is reward for every act of kindness done to a living animals.” Abu Dawood:2550“A woman entered the hell fire because of a cat she had tied neither giving it food nor setting it free to eat from the vermin of the earth.” Al Bukhari: 3565 Indeed, prophet Muhammad has complete knowledge of the things. He has treated the orphans with great care and served the guest with hospitality. He has not scolded the old women who was throwing the rubbish on him when he goes for the prayers. One day when she was ill and has not thrown the waste on the prophet Muhammad. He went to enquire that she was ill. The old lady become so obsessed with her behavior and impressed by the conduct of prophet Muhammad that she embraced the Islam.The following traditions of the prophet are best for us to learn and act. “The best among you are those who have the best manners and the best character.” Al Bukhari: 6029 “Saying something good is charity.” Muslim: 5934 “There is no disease that God has created, except that he also created its treatment.” Al Bukhari : 5678
