Page 311 - Wisdom and Sound Advice from the Torah

Through their superior virtues all the prophets sent ever
since the time of the Prophet Adam (pbuh) have lived in a
way that sets an example for all. How the prophets spent
their days, what foods they liked, how they ate them, the
kinds of clothes they wore, the way they wore their hair, the
attention they paid to cleanliness, their conversation, and
how they treated other people are all valuable information
for believers to know. According to Prophet Muhammad
(may God bless him and grant him peace), all messen-
gers are blessed individuals on whom our Lord
has bestowed moral virtues, grandeur,
wisdom, the ability to influence others,
nobility and radiance. The lives of these
blessed individuals, their habits
and behavior that guided their
communities, are their Sunnah.
