He was an illiterate orphan, but he transformed the ignorant society into a mighty and literate civilization and world power of its time. He taught the barbaric tribes the unmatched ethics of war, that they should spare the innocents, noncombatants, women, old aged and children, should not destroy trees, fields, should not kill animals or mutilate the dead bodies. He was a mercy to, even, his enemies. He forgave the ones who treated him in the worst possible ways and never took revenge for personal reasons. He initiated the process to emancipate the slaves and uplifted the status of women and orphans in the society. He asked his followers to treat women like jewels, and give them the respect, care and highest status in the society. In the times, when daughters were buried alive, he guaranteed heaven for a parent who takes care and nourishes daughters. He was a loving, caring and compassionate husband to his wives, whom he did not marry for personal or humanly desires. He was the head of an empire, a leader, who used to patch his clothes and do the housekeeping himself. He taught humbleness, tolerance and compassion to an extent that he declared a smallest act of smiling as an act of charity.
He was none other than the Last Prophet of Islam,
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
