Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Life of Muhammad Wonderful Maxims and Teachings The Prophet (a.s.) established wonderful methods of education, morals, and good manners. The Prophet’s maxims were a perfect method that could raise man to an exalted position and take his life high in the world of virtues, so that he really would be the deputy of Allah in the earth.

The Prophet’s maxims are an important part from the Islamic heritage that deals with all man’s issues and gives answers to all of his suffering in the different fields of life. Here are some examples of them: Good morals The Prophet (a.s.) very actively undertook the invitation to the good morals which was the most important task that he cared too much for.

He said, “I have been sent but to complete the nobilities of character.” The following are some of the Prophet’s traditions concerning high morals: He said, “The best of people in faith are the best of them in morals, and the best of you in morals is the kindest of you to his family (wife), and I am the kindest of you to my wife.” [1] He said, “The most of that which takes people to the Paradise is the fear of Allah and good morals.” [2] He said to his companions, “Shall I tell you about the most beloved of you to me and the nearest of you to me in seating on the Day of resurrection?

They are the best of you in morals who is intimate and is intimated.” [3] [1] Rabee’ al-Abrar, vol. 1 p. 50. [2] Ibid. [3] At-Tathkirah al-Hamduniyyah, vol. 2 p. 172, Adab ad-Dunya wed-Deen (morals of life and religion), p. 237.

He said, “You shall not include people by your wealth, so include them by your morals.” [1] He said, “Good morals are the half of religion.” [2] He said, “The first thing that shall be put in the Scales (on the Day of Judgment) is the good morals.” [3] He said, “There is no ancestry like good morals.” [4] He said, “Good morals take their owner high to the degree of a fasting worshipper.” It is said to the Prophet (a.s.), “What is the best of that which is given to a servant?” He said, “Good morals.” [5] He said, “Good morals fix love (among people).” [6] He said, “The most perfect one of the believers in faith is the best of them in morals.” [7] And about bad morals, the Prophet (a.s.) said, “Bad morals are evil omen.” [8] Gaiety From the aspects that the Prophet (a.s.) invited to, was gaiety and smiling at every one when meeting.
