1. O’ people the best of you is the person who acts
humbly when he has a high position, devotes when
he has a great wealth and  patient when he is in power.

And know that the best person is the one who doesn’t
pay attention to the world, being chaste, preparing himself
for the futurity, and making himself ready for this way.

2. Be aware that the wisest person is the one who knows
his God and obeys him, knows his enemy and opposes
him, knows his perpetual house and makes it improved, and
knows how the life is moving fast and make provisions for himself.

3. I order you to remit because it brings respect for the man.
So, remit until your God makes you dear.

4. Don’t search for believers’ faults because everybody who
searches for believers’ faults, God will search for his faults.
And the people whose defaults God searches for will be disgraced,

although he hides it.

Basic Aspects of Prophet’s Life

  1. Prophet’s Moral

    People of the Arabian Peninsula were out of moral
    character; and humanity values had died among them.
    They were the people involved with ignorance,
    foolishness and they didn’t know anything except
    horse, sword, vicinity, and robbery.

    And then a Prophet came and said "I’ve just come 
    to perfect morality values". He established a noble
    character and founded a school by a lot of endeavor
    to lead people to the humanity elevation, for ever.
     

     

  2. Prophet As a Symbol
    Quran states about Prophet (Pbuh) that there is a praiseworthy
    model in Prophet (Pbuh) for you. This verse is another answer
    to a basic need which man needs a model in guidance way.
    Muslims living in the very early period of the Islam, had visited
    the Prophet (Pbuh); so they could understand how Prophet could
    be a model. When they saw the Prophet (Pbuh) was a man like
    them with all the human characteristics, so they were able to take
    pattern from him by the attention to his identical and practical way.
    When we take distance from the period of that Hazrat, we just face
    with the way quoted from that Hazrat. The question is, how the way
    of that Hazrat, who lived in 1400 years ago, could be a model for
    modern people? And what a Muslim must do when he obeys Hazrat-e
    Mohammad (Pbuh) in his private and social behaviors, according to
    Quran. And how we can consider Prophet (Pbuh) as an acceptable
    symbol for a modern man?

    3. Islamic government or Medina Al-Nabi

    The bases of Islamic government were established in the Arabian
    Peninsula by Prophet’s immigration. This government by political,
    social, and economical views had special features like management,
    leadership, justice, discipline … and etc. This Islamic government
    could be a suitable pattern for all the governments, which wished to
    be based on Islam and its glorified rules.


    4. Islamic Civilization

    Establishment of “Islamic Civilization” was the highest advantage
    of Prophet’s mission because Prophet (Pbuh) founded a developed,
    general, and powerful civilization on yesterday and today's world
    which was useful for the future of humanity.
    The establishment of such a civilization in uncivilized world of
    that day and among such people was miraculous.


    O’ Mohammad, You’ve been created marvelously!

    He was cheerful and moderate and his custom was guidance
    and growth. His speech was criterion of right and his order
    was justice. His companions said “we haven’t visited anyone who
    smiles more than him.”
    Hazrat-e Ali (Pbuh) stated: “when somebody visited Hazrat-e
    Mohammad (Pbuh) for the first time, he was influenced by his
    dignity, and everybody who met him, accepted his
    friendship. When he looked at his companions, he divided his
    glances. He was the bravest and the most honest person. He was bound
    to his promise, he had tender words, and he was better than
    others in association.
    Prophet (Pbuh) was the best person and he was the most generous
    of all. He behaved so tender and well with the people. He ignored
    from the things, which had no favor toward them. He didn’t blame
    people. He had no special place in a gathering and forbid this action.
    When he entered to a meeting,
    he sat wherever possible and he ordered people to do the same, too. He didn’t
    dispute and didn’t talk so much. He never searched on people’s
    faults and was so patient against others’ ill-treats.
