Muslims all over the world see Muhammad ﷺ  as God’s last messenger to mankind, and, for every community that wants to live under God’s guidance, the Prophet Muhammad’s ﷺ  character and conduct is the light showing the way to God’s pleasure. The Prophet’s ﷺ miracle was to give to humanity a system of life that provides for all the needs of body, mind and soul and elevates man’s aspirations towards a sublime ideal. Through his actions, he showed the way to achieve all this in a very simple, direct and truthful manner. He built a state that was dedicated to truth and justice and to the liberation of man throughout the world. He wrote to emperors, kings and rulers, calling on them to believe in God and to follow His message, yet, at the same time, he lived a life of poverty, leaving aside the riches that were offered to him. At a time when the Prophet is much maligned by writers, cartoonists, and various other detractors, whose portrayal of him is both cursory and false, this book aims to show Muhammad’s ﷺ  true character in detail, both in its most every day and most extraordinary moments.
