As a matter of fact, all the characteristics of a person who is an example and a role model must be known and thus their life can be examined in detail. The information on this subject must be accurately passed on to the following generations. The life of the Prophet is unique when looked at from this perspective. The Quran repeats many times that Prophet Muhammad pbuh is neither superhuman nor a deity, but that he is a human being.
Prophet Muhammad pbuh verifies this truth over and over again. The conclusion of scholars on this subject, which is also of great importance for the role model status of Prophet Muhammad pbuh , is that every action of the Prophet is not necessarily related to necessity or good deed, and often only represents a routine action. This is because the Prophet practiced routine, good, or obligatory actions, but he never practiced sinful actions that are prohibited.
If by mistake he performed an action that was a minor sin, this mistake was criticized by Allah, thus making all other actions valid as examples to be followed. All actions performed by Prophet Muhammad have been examined, and if the indications show that this was an action performed to become close to Allah, that action is followed, otherwise it is not necessary to follow it.
If the action was a routine action, people may perform it or not. This status as a role model is not only present in issues that are considered compulsory, but also in fields that represent routine actions.
The exemplary and role model status of the Prophet have a quality that covers all types of sunnah. Each type of sunnah is right and there is no place for superstition in them. The role model status of the Prophet is not limited to merely worshipping or actions that are a compulsory part of the religion, a requirement, or examples of good morals. The sunnah descriptions given by the hadith researchers are in line with the verses found in the Quran about his role model status and the orders and advice he gives in the sunnah context; it is according to all these factors that general opinion is formed, "The sunnah, whether it constitutes a base for a provision or not, are all the words, actions, teachings, characteristics, examples of the morality and personality of Prophet Muhammad pbuh ".
Within the hierarchal evidence in Islam, sunnah ranks as the second most significant aspect after the Quran. The term sunnah used within the hadith of the Prophet and the words of the Companions and followers of the Prophet indicates collective deeds and involves every part of life, such as faith, worship, morality and ethics.
The fortification that was necessary to the Islamic ideal was provided by the sunnah. Once the views were solidified and the ideals were achieved, the sunnah turned the theory into a reality. The values of Islam were formulated and perpetuated in this way.
Prophet Muhammad's pbuh practices for worshipping Allah took on the form of the application of the sunnah. This form of worship, which continued during the last twenty-two years of his life, guided the believers even after his death.
Contemplating the sunnah of the Prophet and applying it supports the connection between the Prophet's ability to perceive, his attitude, thought, life and history. This is the reason why the sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad pbuh have become an instructor for millions of people. Sunnah materials are classified under four groups, each one of which forms an image of Prophet Muhammad pbuh in the minds of Muslims:. Each and every one of these principles is an indication that reflects the comprehensive extent of his exemplary, role-model status and his ability to provide guidance.
The following principles might be mentioned when discussing Prophet Muhammad pbuh as an example for adherence to the sunnah:. A person cannot be considered to be a role model sent to guide people and at the same time be a person who commits deeds that are against the will of Allah. For this reason, all the prophets have been granted with a particular high-moral quality. They never intentionally or deliberately acted against the consent of Allah. The mistakes that they made and the faults which stemmed from forgetfulness caused Allah to remind or warn them.
The Quran and Sunnah are the basis of our religion. He stressed that Muslims should have good behavior with others. They should have good character also. It shows the importance of behavior and character in his teachings. You will never deviate from the right path. These are the Holy Quran and my Sunnah.
These two things will not be separated. Until they will come to their destination namely, the Hoz-e-Kausar. These two things are the main source of our religion.
These two things will keep on guiding us up to the last day of this world. They should not waste their virtues. These two things complete the religion. His prophethood is sufficient for all humanity up to the end of this world. No one will be blessed with prophethood and no previous prophet will be followed. The prophethood of the Holy Prophet has two parts. Firstly, he is a prophet and secondly he is the last prophet of Allah Almighty. It shows that his prophethood is universal.
He is not the prophet of his age but he is the prophet of every age. He should be obeyed in every age. Encourage them to touch some Muslim prayer mats and then look at how Muslims pray, such as by looking at video clips or animation online. Help pupils make a prayer mat out of sensory materials, such as textured wallpaper. Invite pupils to recognise the moon and stars in a slideshow of pictures and to sort a selection of pictures of crescent moons and stars. Encourage pupils to use Makaton signing for star and moon while listening to a song about wonder in the universe, for example There is Only One God by Zain Bhikha.
Encourage pupils to make collage pictures of the Muslim symbol — the crescent moon and star, or rub over a moon and star stencil and decorate. Ask pupils to identify what makes them feel peaceful out of a choice of different pictures, such as listening to music, going on the computer, lying down, praying, etc. Ask pupils to make a dove of peace — there are many templates online. Explain that Muslims believe only Allah is the creator and so natural designs are shown in a non-realistic but beautiful way, with unexpected colours being used.
Repetition of designs shows that God goes on for ever. An example can be found in Iznik pottery from the 16 th century Ottoman Empire, although its designs are still being used for ceramics in Turkey. Show images of Iznik art from the Turkish tradition. Ask pupils to look for the colours of blue, red and white and for flowers. Prepare four pieces of black, blue, red and white paper and make concertina folds.
The black will be used for the background. Ask pupils to draw simple flower designs and leaves shapes on the three pieces of paper and to cut these up. They should then lay out the three elements of the flower design on the concertina folded black paper, trying to repeat the pattern. Explain to pupils that they are going to learn about three more stories about Muhammad Muslims say peace be upon him that will help them understand how inspirational he is for all Muslims and how he set an example for all Muslims to follow.
Share the sensory story of Muhammad and Crying Camel allowing time for the stimuli to be delivered in a caring manner to each pupil. Ask pupils to reflect on the story and, where appropriate, to comment and ask questions about it.
