Life of prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as a role model in every

sphere of life, in particular, the situation of unrest and
turmoil
ABSTRACT:
There are numerous references in Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) life that demonstrate his
position as a role model for Muslim societies and individuals. Superior morals, good habits,
noble and gentle emotions, and superior abilities ruled his life, all of which are qualities that help
people avoid being caught in a web of sin. The ruler and the governed, the helpless and the
lonely, the conqueror and the triumphant commander, the teacher and the pupil, the preacher and
the tutor, the merchant and the craftsman, the employer and the employee - in other words, any
kind of person can find truths in Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) life that they can follow.

INTRODUCTION:
The status of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as a positive example is based on the Holy Quran and
the Sunnah. Islamic scholars have examined the Prophet's (PBUH) position as a positive
example and pioneer not in a sectional structure, but rather from a unified perspective, as they
have done with a variety of other issues. They have arrived at the conclusion that the best
strategy is to examine the refrains of the Holy Quran that determine and show the Prophet's
status in general. Thus, when discussing the Prophet's status as a good example, issues such as
faith in the Prophet (PBUH), obedience to the Prophet and following the Prophet come up
(PBUH). Furthermore, contradicting the Prophet (PBUH) comes to the fore.

THE HOLY QURAN AND PROPHET MUHAMMAD'S STATUS AS A

ROLE MODEL:
In the Holy Quran the only verse that refers literally to the status of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
as a role model is as follows: “Verily in the messenger of Allah you have a good example for
him who looks onto Allah and the Last Day, and remembers Allah much”.
If one accepts that Islam is the last and perfect religion, it is contradictory not to recognize the
life of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as an example for the Muslim people community or to
acknowledge his life as something that shapes and helps Muslims in their daily lives. Thus,
Prophet Muhammad's way of life and identity, as shown during his 23-year prophet hood,
includes extremely significant arrangements and expectations for the religious, political, social,
and overall well-being of the Muslim people community. The hadith that follows summarizes the
Quran's announcements:
"The best of discourse is verifiably the discourse of Allah. That is the Book of Allah (the Quran).
The best of direction is the direction of Muhammad (PBUH). Everything being equal, the most
Islamic Studies Assignment #03

underhanded of things are those which are recently designed (in religion), and each development
is a deviation, and each deviation drives individuals to Hell"

THE SUNNAH AND PROPHET MUHAMMAD'S STATUS AS ROLE

MODEL:
Sunnah materials are divided into four categories, each of which creates an image of Prophet
Muhammad (PBUH) in Muslims' minds.”
• The principles governing the activities that characterize the Prophet (PBUH) as an Allah-
worshipper and believer.
• Texts about Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) missions that allow contact with and call people to
the new reality while also emphasizing that he is a human being who only exists to fulfill his
own purpose.
• The values relating to Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) human qualities as a husband, father,
relative, and friend.
• The ideals of Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) leadership in the state government, on the
battlefield, in the classroom, and in the masjid.
Each of these values is a reflection of the breadth of his outstanding, role-model status and
ability to provide guidance.
Some people's understanding of the Sunnah is based solely on its physical nature. For example,
such people believe that the most important thing is to keep the beard and moustache trimmed
and clean, among other things. Such people claim to be following the Sunnah in their daily lives,
but they overlook or neglect other important aspects of the Sunnah. Affection, moderation,
clemency, fear, hope, chastity, kindness, generosity, and their reflection in life are more essential
and have higher priorities in practice.
Some of us consider randomly reading from the Quran and hadith as a form of devotion to the
Quran and Sunnah while discussing certain issues. What does reading the Quran and hadith
really mean if we don't understand the meaning of the Quran and Sunnah, if we don't follow this
course, if we don't abide by the contents of these two cornerstones, if we don't live our lives in
the light of these principles? It is more successful and accurate to approach true Islam by
following the Sunnah with the right attitudes than by simply uttering phrases.

MORALITY AND THE PROPHET'S STATUS AS A ROLE MODEL:

A man cannot be regarded as a positive example sent to treat individuals while still submitting
actions that are contrary to Allah's wishes. As a result, each prophet has been endowed with a
unique high-moral consistency. They never acted against Allah's will on purpose or with malice.
The blunders they made and the flaws that resulted from their inattention caused Allah to remind
or warn them. These blunders and blames are not communicated to the general public as part of
their positive example status. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) made no errors that would jeopardies
the transmission of the Quran, as shown by the Holy Quran and accepted by the Muslim
community. Many who believe it was possible for Prophet Muhammad to make mistakes believe
Islamic Studies Assignment #03

that Allah would immediately warn and correct him in such cases. No Muslim doubts that
Prophet Muhammad was free of problems in the transmission of Shariat (Islamic law) and that
his movement was based on Allah's revelation to him. According to widely accepted
observations and methodologies, Prophet Muhammad's Sunnah was developed in response to
requests contained in the revelations. It is clear from the Quran's stanzas and the characteristics
bestowed on the Prophet by Allah that the revelations bestowed on him are not limited to the
Holy Quran. The Holy Prophet's words and actions are clearly proof of Allah's existence,
according to several parts of the Quran.

THE HOLY PROPHET (PBUH) IS A ROLE MODEL FOR EVERYONE:

In this world, there are an unusually large number of Muslims. Whatever the case might be, they
are split. In Kashmir, Palestine, Syria, Afghanistan, Yemen, Iraq, and Myanmar, the Muslim
people are in a desperate situation. The Muslim world and its leadership have proven to be
untrustworthy and arrogant. In reality, non-adherents have banded together and are waging a
major offensive against the Muslim Ummah. Pakistan is the epicenter of the Muslim world's
desires. It has a plethora of properties of all kinds. In either case, debasement, neediness, and
rebellion are sweeping the nation. The nation founded on the basis of Kalma Tayyaba should be
an ideal Islamic state. The penances that were laid during the time of Partition have gone
unnoticed.
Individuals transformed into harsh opponents of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) as he began his main
objective of improving humanity. They severely tormented him and his friends. He (PBUH)
persevered in the face of adversity and continued his fight. He (PBUH) ended up being fruitful in
the end. The Muslims ruled over the heinous forces and conquered the entire Arab world.
Many who are currently hostile to Islamic forces have once again proven to be awesome. We
must adhere to the Quran and Sunnah in order to defeat these destructive forces. The Holy Quran
is the cornerstone of Islam, and the Sunnah has given it form. To put it another way, it is
important for the Muslim Ummah to follow the Quran and Sunnah.
THE HARDSHIPS OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD (PBUH) AND HIS
COMPANIONS:

Quraysh's Message Distortion:

Quraysh attempted to distort the da'wa. They accused Muhammad (PBUH) of being a poet, a
liar, delusional, and a magician in order for those who heard him to become perplexed and
abandon him.

The Ridiculing of the Prophet:

The Quraysh agreed that if they saw Muhammad (PBUH), they would shout "madman" and
flee. They did this to injure his ego and prevent him from continuing his work, but our brave
Prophet persevered.
Islamic Studies Assignment #03

Throwing Garbage at the Prophet:

A woman will gather garbage from her home every day and throw it at the Prophet (PBUH)
as he passed by. In today's world, if anyone did that to us, we would retaliate. Regardless of
how filthy he became or how much he was abused, the prophet would never retaliate and
would simply continue walking.

Boycott of the Muslims:

The Quraysh imposed a boycott on the Prophet (PBUH) and his disciples, prohibiting them
from doing business with them, conversing with them, or feeding them. Children, men and
women, the elderly, the poor, and the feeble were all included. Despite the fact that some of
them died, no one will hand over the Prophet (PBUH) to his assailants. Abu Lahab, the
Prophet's uncle (PBUH), however, abandoned his tribe and joined the boycott alongside the
pagans. After three dreadful years, during which the refugees were forced to eat even crushed
hides, four or five non-Muslims, more humane than the rest and from various clans, publicly
denounced the unfair boycott.

The Prophet (PBUH) Facing Tough Times:

The following account, as told by one of the Prophet's (PBUH) sidekicks, Abdullah Ibn Masud,
reveals how he was handled during this tumultuous year:
While the Prophet (harmony and endowments arrive) was asking, seven Makkan pioneers
gathered beside Al-Kabah. He expressed his willingness to surrender. One of the pioneers, Abu
Jahl, said,
"Who could carry the intestines of the camel so-thus kin, which had just been butchered? It can
be draped over Muhammad as he is prostrating!"

Uqbah Ibn Abi Muait, the most deranged of them all, brought it and put it on the Prophet's
(PBUH) back while prostrating. The Prophet (PBUH) did not travel, and I (Abdullah) couldn't do
anything because I had no family to help me.
Fatimah, the Prophet's (PBUH) little daughter, came and evacuated the soil, offending everyone.
At that moment, the Prophet raised his head and began supplicating to Allah on behalf of all of
them.
As a flag-bearer entrusted by Allah to carry His word, he was also put to the test. While his name
is Muhammad, he was regarded as a liar, an alchemist, an artist, and a crystal gazer, and people
began calling him Mudthamam (dispraise commendable) (applaud commendable).

CONCLUSION:
FOR ROLE MODEL:
Islamic Studies Assignment #03

 The importance of Prophet Muhammad's role as a good example is described in the Holy
Quran and the Sunnah; this is one of the fundamental rehearses for Muslims.
 There is no disagreement among Muslims on how Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) sets the
best example with his ethical qualities, activities, words, and other highlights.
 It would be unjust to limit the Prophet's (PBUH) position as a positive example to a
certain number of fields. This status is associated with every aspect of life.
 Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) status as good example is vital from the point of view of
the person, as well as from the social viewpoint. It’s coupling highlights and assurance of
techniques must be considered from these two viewpoints.

FOR HARDSHIP:
 It is very important to know and believe that nothing will happen to you except what
Allah has decreed for you. The Prophet was asked to say, {Nothing will befall us except
what Allah has decreed for us } (At-Tawbah 9:51)
 He taught one of his young cousins, `Abdullah Ibn `Abbas, “Know that what hits you
would not have missed you”
 This belief gives you comfort and prevents fear from future difficulty, but more
importantly, helps you overcome any difficulty you are already going through. Allah
said, {No misfortune ever befalls unless it be by Allah. And whosoever has faith in
Allah, Allah guides his heart …} (At-Taghabun 64:11)
