In The Name of Allah, The Beneficient, The Ever Merciful
Allah says in the Holy Qur`an: “Allah did confer a great
favor on the believers when He sent among them a prophet from
among themselves, reciting unto them the signs of Allah,
sanctifying them, and instructing them in scripture and wisdom,
while before that, they had been in manifest error.”(Al Imran
3:164).
Allah also says: “Those who follow the Prophet, the
unlettered prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own
(scriptures) - in the law (Torah) and the Gospel - he commands
them what is just and forbids them what is evil; he allows them
as lawful what is good (and pure) and prohibits them from what
is bad (and impure); he releases them from their heavy burdens
and from the yokes that are upon them. So it is those who
believe in him, honor him, help him, and follow the light which
is sent down with him, it is they who will prosper." (Al-A`raf
8:157).
In his book ‘The Story of Civilization’, Will Durant declares:
“If we judge greatness by influence, he (Muhammad (PBUH))
was one of the greatest of the greats in history. He undertook to
raise the spiritual and moral level of people harassed into
barbarism by heat and foodless wastes, and he succeeded in this
more completely than any other reformer in history. Upon
Judaism, Christianity, and his native creed, he built a religion
simple and clear and strong, and a morality of ruthless courage

Cultural Values in the Message of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
and racial pride, which, in a generation, marched to a hundred
victories, in a century to empire, and remains to this day a virile
force through half the world” Preface.
All praise is for Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon
the Prophet of Allah and upon his family, his companions, and
those who are guided by the light of his guidance.
The biography of the Prophet (PBUH) is the eminently
practical implementation of the Divine directives sent down to
him by Allah. These directives include the moral values and the
guiding principles that can not only bring happiness to
humanity, but also help people maintain the pure, original
disposition upon which Allah originated mankind. This is not
surprising, since the Prophet (PBUH) himself was nothing but a
mercy sent by Allah for all creatures. Allah says: "We sent thee
not, but as a mercy for all creatures." (Al-Anbiya` 21:107).
We urgently need to implement the guidance of the Prophet
(PBUH) - our role model - and the moral values he taught on
both the individual and societal levels. Allah says: “You have
indeed in the Prophet of Allah a beautiful pattern (of conduct)
for any one whose hope is in Allah and the Final Day, and who
engages much in the praise of Allah”.

 This book is about the civilized values in the message of the Prophet

 Muhammad, best of mankind.
