he Qur'an, the only true guidance for
humanity, was revealed so that people
would know how to deal with all of
the situations that they may encounter

while in this world. In addition, the
Sunnah (example) of our Prophet
(may Allah bless him and grant him
peace) shows how to implement its
teachings into one's life. Allah even made it possible for peo-
ple to understand how to live the Qur'an's morality by giv-
ing examples from the Prophets' and other Muslims' lives:
"There is an excellent example in them for you to follow,
that is for those whose hope is in Allah and the Last Day.
But if anyone turns away, Allah is the Rich Beyond Need,
the Praiseworthy" (Surat al-Mumtahana: 6) and "We have
sent down Clear Signs to you, the example of those who
passed away before you, and an admonition for those who
guard against evil" (Surat an-Nur: 34). In these verses, He re-

minds sincere Muslims, who hope for the best in Hereafter,
that the people presented in the Qur'an serve as good exam-
ples and guidance for them.
