He called us to worship Godalone... he commanded us to speakthe truth, to honor our promises, tobe kind to our relations, to behelpful to our neighbors, to cease
all forbidden acts, to abstain frombloodshed, to avoid obscenities andfalse witness .

whose nobility, integrity andtrustworthiness were already well-known

Right Means Right Ends+ Success= He was without a bodyguard, without a palace, without a fixed revenue. If ever any man had the right
to say that he ruled by a right divine It was Mohammad, for he had all the power without instruments and without its support. He cared not for dressing of power. The simplicity of his private life was in keeping with his public life." Bosworth Smith

The Benefactor of women
First to accord higher status to women, first to grant rights
It was Islam that removed the bondage in which women are held from the very dawn of history and gave them a social standing and legal rights such as were not granted to them in
England till many centuries later.

Message for Men: O Brothers
It is true that you have certain rights in regard to your women, butthey also have rights over you.
Remember that you have taken them as your wives, only under Allah's trust and with His permission. If they abide by your right then
to them belongs the right to be fed and clothed in kindness.Do treat your women well and be kind to them, for they are your partners and committed helpers.
And it is your right that they do not make friends with anyone of whom you do not approve, as well as never to be unchaste.
