The Prophet (saas) spent all his life, once the Qur'an had been re-
vealed to him, calling people to the religion and guiding them to the true
path. In one verse, Allah tells the Prophet (saas) how he should address
people:

As can be seen from the verses of the Qur'an, the Prophet (saas) en-
countered a number of difficulties when warning people and teaching
them about the Qur'an and true morality. Since not everyone was on the
true path, people made life difficult for the Prophet (saas), out of jealousy,
hatred and envy. Some were slow to understand his words and dragged
their feet when they did so, some behaved hypocritically, saying that
they believed his words when they really did not. The Prophet (saas) con-
tinued to explain the religion with great determination, paying no heed
to all those obstacles. Such people's attitudes are revealed in a verse:
