Video 2: The Prophet Muhammad (saas) - The Sublime Morality of The Prophet (saas)

The Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) possessed an exemplary morality that he called upon the world to adopt, and which was revealed to him by God. He also counseled Muslims to follow his moral example, which included such advice as to not envy or hate one another, to not undersell each other, to show reverence both externally and internally, to speak truthfully, and to forgive those who injure us. These nine moral values are a timeless example of the Prophet's exemplary morality that all of us should strive to emulate.

The Prophet possessed a morality that constitutes a model for the whole world. He called on others to conform to that morality and described what kind of morality and behavior would be pleasing to God. God reveals in verses the kind of superior moral values possessed by Prophet Muhammad.

''Nun. By the Pen and what they write down! By the blessing of your Lord, you are not mad. You will have a wage which never-fails. Indeed you are truly vast in character. (Surat al-Qalam:1-4)

Our Prophet also counseled Muslims to abide by his own moral values. Some of this advice is described in these terms in the hadith.

''Do not envy one another; do not hate one another; do not turn away from another; and do not undercut one another, but be you, O servants of God, brothers.'' ''My Cherisher has ordered me nine things: To reverence Him, externally and internally, to speak true, and with propriety, in prosperity and adversity, moderation in affluence and poverty, to benefit my relations and kindred who do not benefit me; to give alms to him who refuses me; to forgive him who injures me; that my silence should be in attaining knowledge of God; that when I speak, I should mention Him; that when I look on God's creatures, it should be as an example for them.''
