How He Treated Them?

<p>Today, more than ever, individuals ������������nd themselves in desperate need</p><p>of guidance, and by extension, in need of a guide to make sense of life.</p><p>Over the ages, Allah, The Almighty, has sent different Prophets and Messengers</p><p>to guide humanity and to provide answers to the questions confronting</p><p>man. The most important features of their mission was to explain</p><p>the Divine laws and exemplify Divine wisdom, and thus, serve as</p><p>role-models to their nations.Prophet Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, the last Messengerof Allah, was unique in that he was not sent to a particular nation, but</p><p>to humankind as a whole. As with every other Prophet, the focus of his</p><p>message was that of obedience to Allah through acts of worship in word</p><p>and deed.</p><p>Through his personal example and guidance, the Prophet, sallallaahu</p><p>'alayhi wa sallam, presented humanity with a superior way of life that was</p><p>founded on the worship of Allah and the beautiful values that this entails.</p><p>Due to his exceptional conduct and exemplary way of dealing with others,</p><p>Prophet Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, conquered hearts</p><p>and minds, and his message gained ascendancy over all other nations and</p><p>religious denominations. The spread of the guidance brought by Prophet</p><p>Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, is tangible proof that he was</p><p>truly an example to be followed, for such immensely positive in������������uence</p><p>has not been the lot of any other individual throughout the history of the</p><p>world.</p><p>The Prophet's unique and remarkable success is often categorized as</p><p>a personal achievement, but the reality is that it is a sign of his being divinely</p><p>guided. Yes, he was a remarkable human being, but the impact of</p><p>his teachings was a direct result of his being guided by Allah in all he said</p><p>and did.Allaah sent His Messenger Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, to</p><p>all of creation as a witness, a bringer of glad tidings of Paradise to those</p><p>who accept the Path he calls to and a warner against the wrath of Allaah.</p><p>He sent him to invite to the religion of Allaah, by His permission, and as</p><p>an illuminating lamp to light the Path of survival, the Path of Allaah.</p><p>Allaah sent him with guidance and mercy and the true religion, and</p><p>to guide people to what results in their happiness in this world and the</p><p>Hereafter. This is the reward for those who believe in him, love him and</p><p>follow his path, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam.</p><p>The Prophet of Allaah, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, conveyed the message</p><p>and advised the nation, and struggled and sacri������������ced for the sake of</p><p>Allaah. We ask Allaah to reward him for having conveyed the message</p><p>that guided us to the Path of Allaah.</p><p>When reading this book, one will frequently come across the term "sallallaahu</p><p>'alayhi wa sallam", and we feel obliged to clarify a few matters</p><p>pertaining to this term.Its meanin������������������������</p><p>The term consists of two parts, one part is Salaah which is in the part "sallallaahu"</p><p>and the second part is "Salaam" which is in the part "wa sallam".</p><p>These two terms are a form of supplication and prayer for Prophet</p><p>Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam.According to the predominant opinion, the ������������rst part means: To ask Allaah</p><p>to exalt his mention. In other words we ask Allaah to honor, glorify</p><p>and raise his rank and exalt his mention because we (as humans) cannot</p><p>praise him enough to ful������������ll his due right upon us (for having conveyed</p><p>the message that guided us to the Path of Allaah).</p>
