The Holy Prophet’s Life

The Holy Prophet’s life gives us every fundamental guideline that we require to resolve the problem as successfully as our human minds and intellects can visualise. His example of integrity, loyalty, honesty, generosity, both of means and of time; his solicitude for the poor, the weak and the sick; his steadfastness in friendship; his humility in success; his magnanimity in victory; his simplicity; his wisdom in conceiving new solutions for problems which could not be solved by traditional methods without affecting the fundamental concepts of Islam – surely all these are foundations which, correctly understood and sincerely interpreted, must enable us to conceive what should be a truly modern and dynamic Islamic society in the years ahead.

One thought

  1. THE AGA KHAN’S SPEECH CLEARLY SIGNIFIES THE OPPORTUNITY THAT THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY AT LARGE WOULD BENEFIT IF THEY PUT IN ACTION PROPHET MUHAMAD’S TEACHINGS . THE WORLD WILL BE A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE FOR EVERYONE WITHOUT RESORTING TO ANY VIOLENCE AND GETTING INTO DIALOGUE TO SETTLE DISPUTES, ETC.
