Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Lessons from the Holy Prophet of Islam (S) The Dimensions and goals of the Holy Prophet’s (S) Be’that In fact, Mab’ath was the day when the flag of a mission was raised, a mission whose characteristics are outstanding and unique for humanity. Mab’ath raised the flag of knowledge and understanding in the world.

Be’that started with the divine order, “Read”: “Read in the name of your Lord Who created.” [^1] And it continued with the following order: “Call to the way of your Lord with wisdom and goodly exhortation.” [^2] That is to say, the call was accompanied by wisdom. The Islamic call is in fact an effort to promote and spread wisdom to different parts of the world and to different historical eras.

Be’that was an effort to raise the flag of justice and to establish justice among believers, God’s servants and all human beings. And the mission is to raise the flag of noble human values.

“I was appointed to complete moral virtues.” [^3] Addressing the Holy Prophet (S), Allah the Exalted says: “And We have not sent you but as a mercy to the worlds.” [^4] That is to say, all the things that human beings need at all times, in all conditions, in any part of the world have been included in Be’that, namely knowledge and understanding, wisdom and mercy, justice and brotherhood, and equality, which are the essential things that the healthy course of life depends on.

Even though Islam has required its followers to engage in Jihad, it has also announced: “If they incline to peace, then incline to it and trust in Allah.” [^5] That is to say, Islam prefers peace to war when the conditions are appropriate. Of course, Jihad means standing up against bullying and transgression, but some people maliciously announce that Islam is the religion of war because it has required its followers to engage in Jihad. Today humanity is in need of these teachings.

We Muslims are responsible for certain shortcomings and we should admit this. First of all, we have neglected our responsibility to promote genuine Islamic teachings throughout the world. Second, we have failed to present appropriate Islamic role models in the world. If Muslims regulated their actions, their social and personal behavior and their political models on the basis of these teachings, they would be promoting Islam in the best possible way.

Of course, there is no doubt that today complicated waves of global propaganda campaigns have focused on Islam.
