ISL201 GDB Idea Solution
Importance of Morality in the light of life
of holy prophet Hazrat Muhammad (S A
W)
The moral teachings and precepts of the divine prophets and their moral behavior
are the best means of leading man to his ideal life. It goes without saying that both
in personal and in social life the observance of moral principles is required of all.
However, for those who must lead societies and guide the people, this requirement is
much greater, because, first, the one who is the instructor of society must himself be
a model of supreme moral behavior and excellent human characteristics, so he will
be able to wipe moral decay out of people’s hearts and minds. Obviously if he
himself is lacking in morality, he will fail to lead the people onto the path of
humanity and virtue.
Second, the responsibility of leading human societies is so great and crucial that no
one can successfully perform it unless he has perfect morals. For this reason, God
selected his prophets from among those who possessed exalted spirits, great
tolerance, extraordinary patience, and other excellent moral characteristics. It was
with this weapon of morality that divine prophets overturned the debased societies
that were plunged in corruption and led the ignorant people who had gone astray
onto the path of virtue and salvation.
In the holy Qur’an, Almighty God has addressed the Holy Prophet Muhammad
(pbuh): “Thus it is due to mercy from God that you deal with them gently, and had
you been rough, hard-hearted, they would certainly have dispersed from around
you.” [Surah Al-e-Imran 3:159]
The sublime celestial morals of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) brought about the waves of
the revolution of Islam first in Arabian society and afterwards all over the world. In
the light of this all-embracing spiritual and intellectual resurrection, dispersion
turned into unity, unchastity into chastity and virtue, idleness into hard work and
industry, selfishness to altruism, and Arab arrogance to modesty and affection. Men
and women were thus trained to become models of good moral behavior and have
altruistic manners forever. The morals of the Prophet were so sublime and
praiseworthy that Almighty God has regarded them as great. “And truly you
(Muhammad) possess great morals.” [Surah Tur 52:4]
