ENGLISH-THE MESSAGE OF PEACE AND HUMAN BROTHERHOOD THROUGH THE TEACHINGS OF THE HOLY PROPHET MUHAMMAD ﷺ

Abstract

The sermons of the holy prophet Muhammad ﷺ   do not only offer religious guidance but also offer principles to be applied to all people in the world. His message is a complete code of life based on peace, unity, tolerance and co-operation with one another. Islam is a religion that guides humanity to spiritual upliftment and at the same time entails social justice, equality and fraternity. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: Justice, the most akin to piety. These lessons can be used as a guide to individuals and societies. Brotherhood is a concept of Islam that is a component of faith. The Prophet said: A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, he does not wrong him, or leave him alone, helpless. This message is outside the scope of religion and is included in the entire humankind. The Prophet forged peace and harmony treaties with the people of other religions at Madinah that are still used as timeless examples of interfaith dialogue and coexistence. His life educates that the differences are to be solved by dialogue, tolerance, and mutual respect. One of the most famous examples of his practical works to create peace between tribes, religions and nations is the Charter of Madinah. The Prophet also insisted on the ethical principles and the prohibition of the mistreatment of women, children, elderly people and places of worship even in the period of war. These Prophetic principles are quite impressive in accordance with the contemporary international human rights norms. The qualitative research methodology is a textual and analytical research that discusses the Prophetic traditions and historical precedents and their timeless applicability to global ethics and peace building today. In the present-day hectic world, the adherence to the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad can be the ray of hope among all mankind. His example and life give a strong base to ethical behavior, justice, brotherhood, and values of peaceful coexistence that are needed to resolve the issue of modern global problems.
