Abstract:
The blessed prophetic biography serves as a fundamental reference for human and civilizational advancement, as the one whose life it narrates is described by Almighty Allah: “Indeed, in the Messenger of Allah, you have an excellent example” (Qur’an, 33:21]. One of the most prominent aspects highlighted by the prophetic life is exemplary moral conduct. In addition, it highlights how to build an aware, rational personality capable of effectively engaging with society and interacting with people across various ages, intellectual levels, and social backgrounds. This moral guidance is evident both in the Prophet's sayings, which contain direct ethical teachings and wise counsel, and in his personal stances. The Prophet (pbuh) was a teacher, judge, leader in battles, as well as a husband, father, friend, and neighbor. Each of these roles provides stories and deeds from which we can gain significant insights. Thus, the importance of this study becomes apparent within this framework, as it addresses the following key question - using a descriptive, analytical, and retrospective approach: How can we utilize the Prophet’s ethical stances in building a sound ethical framework?
