“And you are certainly on the most exalted standard of moral excellence” (Quran 68:4) ⁶Interpretation of the meanings of the Noble Quran by Dr. Muhammad Taqui-ud-Din Al Hilali and Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan, DARUSSALAM (1996).

In alignment with this code of life, Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) demonstrates the teachings of Allah (SWT) in all areas of life. His first mission in Medina was to build a mosque that served as the first community house for Muslims. The Prophet (PBUH) adopted a distinctive approach to teach his followers and companions the basics and concepts of Islam, which comes from divine revelation. His teachings covered all aspects of life, work, living and human dealings, which are suitable everywhere and for all times. First, in order to be able to fully transmit his divine message to educate people around him, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) addressed first the hearts to become the beloved one in order to inspire his followers to listen to his message ⁷ Vahap Gultekin (2012), The Educational Methods of Our Prophet (PBUH) in The Pen Magazine http://www.thepenmagazine.net/the-educational-methods-of-our-prophet-pbuh/  For example, once a Bedouin asked the Prophet (PBUH): “When is the hour?” [The Day of Judgment]. The Prophet (PBUH) said, “What have you prepared for that final hour?” The Bedouin said, “I haven’t prepared a lot of salah (good deeds) and I haven’t prepared a lot of zakah (charity) but I am preparing one thing which is my love for Allah (SWT) and His messenger.” The Prophet (PBUH) replied: “You will be with who you love” ⁸ Kamal Shaarawy (2014), The Teaching Methods of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH); The Message International Magazine https://messageinternational.org/the-teaching-methods-of-the-prophet-muhammad-pbuh/

Secondly, in order to deal properly with different types of people, the Prophet (PBUH) said Allah (SWT) created Adam from the grip of taking possession from all over the globe, came to the sons of Adam on earth, came to them as much as white, red and black, and between it. This means that humans are different as they belongs to their father who was created from clay. Hence each individual (or groups) may need specific dealing treatments ⁹ Ali, S. I. (2002). Sunnah of the Prophet: Educational Vision.: Dar Alfikr Al-Arabi.

“Say [O Prophet], ‘If you do love Allah, follow me; Allah shall love you…” (Quran; 3: 31) ¹⁰Interpretation of the meanings of the Noble Quran by Dr. Muhammad Taqui-ud-Din Al Hilali and Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan, DARUSSALAM (1996).

The next duty was to establish a bond of brotherhood and mutual aid between the believers by saying “Believers are like one body in their mutual love and mercy. When one part of a body is in bad health, the rest of the entire body joins it in restlessness and lack of sleep and is busy with its treatment. Likewise, Muslims should run to help each other” ¹¹ Muslims Are Like One Body in My Religion http://www.myreligionislam.com/detail.asp?Aid=6451

Therefore, in order to solve the economic problems of Medina ¹²When the Prophet migrated to Medina, how did he create religious coexistence? Dar Al Ifta El- Missriyyah. http://www.dar-alifta.org/Foreign/ViewArticle.aspx?ID=733&CategoryID=4 he proposed the believers from Medina (Ansar) should share their trade and wealth with the believers (Muhajereen) who left their wealth in Mecca. In this perspective, there were many successful businessmen amongst the Companions of the Prophet (PBUH) such as ‘Uthman, Abdurrahman Ibn ‘Awf and Zubayr Ibn al-‘Awwam. Their business style was based on the two most fundamental values of Islam, namely justice and charity.¹³Dr. Syadiyah Abdul Shukor (2019), Business Strategy and Strategic Planning From Islamic Perspective in ENTREPRENUERSHIP, ORGANISATIONAL BEHAVIOUR & ISLAMIC FOUNDATION,

“And verily, [O Muhammad], are indeed guiding mankind to the Straight Path." (Quran 42:52) ¹⁴Interpretation of the meanings of the Noble Quran by Dr. Muhammad Taqui-ud-Din Al Hilali and Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan, DARUSSALAM (1996).

As mentioned in this Quranic verse, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was sent by Allah (SWT) to guide humanity on The Straight Path. In this perspective, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) established a strong state in Medina on the basis of peace, solidarity, and harmony between the Muslims, Jews, Christians, disbelievers, as well as a group of hypocrites. ¹⁵ Mohsen Haredy, (2016); The Prophet's Wisdom in Leading His Companions in IslamiCity https://www.islamicity.org/8607/the-prophets-wisdom-in-leading-his-companions. Regarding the openness to other communities, the Prophet (PBUH) encouraged his followers to be open on other communities in order to know their customs, morals and behaviors. For example, the prophet (PBUH) asked one of his followers to learn Hebrew to be the prophet translator who could understand the Jews tribes' messages and reply to them in Hebrew ¹⁶Ali, S. I. (2002). Sunnah of the Prophet: Educational Vision.: Dar Alfikr Al-Arabi.

The covenant required that all citizens are duty-bound to protect the city, share the common obligation of caring for and aiding one another, promote anything beneficial for the nation and protect it from threats. ¹⁷Muslims Are Like One Body in My Religion http://www.myreligionislam.com/detail.asp?Aid=6451

It is therefore important for the Muslim community to adopt this foundation of Islam based on Love and tolerance in order to be able to spread the message of Peace from Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and guide humanity on the Straight Path.
