eople today, and the young in particular, take many individuals as role models,imitate the way they behave, speak and dress, and try to be like them. Yet,since the great majority of these people are not on the right road themselves,they lack proper morality and attitudes. AMuslim needs to try to emulate the behaviorand the morality of the Prophet Muhammad (saas), who was sent to mankind as thelast prophet. He was a living example of the sublime morality of Allah’s last revelation.He was a friend of Allah and inspired humanity by his nearness to Him. Allah confirmsthat in a verse:You have an excellent model in the Messenger of Allah, for all who put theirhope in Allah and the Last Day and remember Allah much. (Surat al-Ahzab: 21)Although we have never seen the Prophet (saas), we can still do our very best tocome to know his exemplary behaviour, his sayings and the pleasing morality hedisplayed, by means of the verses of the Qur’an and the hadiths. We can try to be likehim, in order to be close to him in the hereafter.The aim in writing this book is to introduce various characteristics of the ProphetMuhammad (saas), by revealing his devotion, superior morality and noble character.
