earth, corrupting it. What endures with Allah is better for
you if you are believers. I am not set over you as your
keeper. (Surah Hud, 85-86)
In the Qur'an, Allah gives many examples related to the

just attitudes displayed by the Prophet Moses (as), the Prophet
Jesus (as), the Prophet Joseph (as) and other prophets, and the
way they invited their people to do good is explained in detail.
The Prophet Muhammad (saas), too, administered justice
among his people in compliance with the verse, "...Be
upholders of justice, bearing witness for Allah alone..."
(Surat an-Nisa', 135). His utmost meticulousness in the
administration of justice and his moral perfection were the
main reason why people placed unshakeable trust in him and
committed themselves to Allah‘s religion. Furthermore,
during the first years of the revelation of the Qur'an, seeing the
Prophet Muhammad's (saas) moral perfection and justice,
many prominent unbelievers submitted themselves to him
and converted to Islam.
Such examples are legion in the life of the Prophet
Muhammad (saas), many of which have been conveyed to us

in historical accounts and the sayings of the Prophet (hadith).
His just, loving, compassionate attitudes became very good
examples to follow for Muslims in every age. There are divine
purposes in his words, attitudes and practices. Allah relates
the moral perfection of the Prophet Muhammad (saas) and the
great care he showed to believers as follows:
A Messenger has come to you from among yourselves.
Your suffering is distressing to him; he is deeply
concerned for you; he is gentle and merciful to the
believers. (Surat at-Tawba, 128)
