Abstract:
This research aims to point out the concept of a good role model in the Quran, its importance, and the impact of role models on building moral awareness and promoting the true religion. It seeks to extract Quranic texts that encourage emulating the Prophets generally in the Quran and to reveal how to follow the example of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) specifically. The study uses both a comprehensive and inductive approach. The main findings of the research include demonstrating the importance of good role models in Islam and the great responsibility of being a role model, especially in calling others to Allah, Almighty. The study concludes that all Prophets agree about the essence of religion but differ in specific laws. It affirms that the Quran is rich in verses promoting good role models and that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is the ultimate example in all aspects of life. The study also reveals that role modeling is one of the most important methods for calling people to Allah and showcasing the virtues of Islam and noble morals.
