The History of Great men is a fountain of experience, faith and aspirations for us.The great men of the world are like lofty peaks of mountains which we aspire to climb with great eagerness and ardent desire.They are the light houses which keep darkness away from us.It is due to examples set by them that we have gained self-confidence,They have made us hopeful to life.If these great souls have not been there,we would have fallen prey to despair while combating with unseen and intelligible forces and would have surrounded ourselves to death.The Great soul is of Holy Prophet(PBUH) whose personality and thought has been proved by the Holy ‘Quraan’ and history.
According to Wilson a Famous writer “Prophet Muhammad was part of both world and religious history.His message was an important factor in the changing history of the world and No historian doubt his existence and his role the world event.He is the universal Prophet who was sent not to a particular Nation but to all Mankind.His message clearly opposed all sorts of racial discrimination and removal of all social barrier is an essential part of his message.
Holy Prophet was a Great philosopher, orator, apostle, conquerer of ideas and the founder of Universal brotherhood” Undoubtly Prophet Muhammad’s immense contribution to civilizations remains an outstanding fact of history. Of all men Prophet Muhammad has exercised the greatest influence upon the Human race.
Holy Prophet has been sent as the “Rahmatunlil Aalamin” (ie; the mercy unto the world)
“We have sent thee an apostle for mankind”
4:19 “We have sent thee not but a mercy unto the world”
4:21 “We sent thee not but unto mankind as a whole”
Hazrat Ali (PBUH) has said that “There was so much gentleness in his face that once in his presence, it was impossible to lead him. If you were hungry, you were satisfied by looking at him and thought no more food. Any man suffering from an affliction forgets his trouble when his presence charmed by the greatness of his features and discourse”
The principles of universal brotherhood and doctrine of the equality of mankind which holy Prophet represents was a great cpntribution to the social upliftment of humanity.All the great religions have preached the same doctrine but the Prophet of Islam had put this theory into actual practice and its value will be fully recognized, perhaps, when international consciousness being awakened, racial prejudices made disappear and greater brotherhood of humanity come into existence.
Mohan Das Karamchand Gandhi had said “Islam civilized Spain; Islam took the torch light to Morocco and preached to the world the gospel of brotherhood”
The Holy Quraan states that “O you men! Surely we have created you of male and afemale, and make tribes and families that you may know each other; surely the most hon’ble of you with Allah is is the one among you most careful (of his duty)
People from all the world unanimously accepted the importance of unity, cooperation and love. Any kind of great success can be achieved with the help of unity, mutual cooperation and brotherhood .Unity, infact is the most important factor that protects our existence.
Principle of Unity : The foundation of this world was lead and strengthened on the principle of the unity.God is the creator of whole universe.The religious laws are also the creation of almighty.Therefore, the element of similarity does exists between human existence between existence,the materialistic and spiritualistic success and glory of the human society also depends on upon law of unity amongst them. It was for this reason that Islam has formulated norms and principles of unity among its followers.
The present world with the existing condition is heading towards such a moral and cultural debacle which will ultimately result in the downfall of the human moral values.If the phenomenon continues, the human race will meet with total destruction and disaster .In such inhuman circumstances, the responsibility of every Muslim increases many folds.The teachings of Islam are more important and relevant during these days.
Some of sayings of the Holy Prophet:

· Actions will be determined by intentions, and everyone will be recompensed according to what he intented [ Bukhari]
· Prayer is light, charity is a proof, patience is illumination [Muslim]
Note: According to Islamic calendar today is ‘Birth Anniversary’ of Prophet Muhammad(PBUH
