Abstract:
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is a beacon for the entire world, truly fulfilling the mission of perfecting noble character, as he said: “I was sent only to perfect noble morals” (Imam Ahmad’s Musnad). Among the profound principles Islam has established is human dignity. In Surat Al-Isra, Allah Almighty says, “We have certainly honored the children of Adam and carried them on land and sea and provided for them of the good things and preferred them greatly over many of those We have created” (Quran, 17: 70). This elevates humanity without distinction of Arab or non-Arab, black or white, male or female; all share equally in human dignity. This respect extends especially to women, whose status has also been elevated by Islam. The noble Quranic stories offer us exemplary lessons, insights, guidance, morals, and virtues, serving as a guiding path that illuminates the way and leaves a profound impact. These stories establish a foundation for nurturing good character in individuals and instilling positive values within society. Such a society is then worthy of the title “the best community brought forth for humanity,” guiding people towards righteousness and away from the paths of misguidance and temptation.
