Rather than telling the life of the Prophet ﷺ only as a timeline of events, the book studies his character in relationships. It asks a practical question every Muslim should ask: how did the best of creation deal with people, and how can I follow him in my own home, my street and my workplace?

What the book covers

The book is arranged in chapters around different groups of people and situations. Its topics include:

• The Prophet ﷺ as an excellent example for humanity, and what it means to follow him
• His dealings with his wives, children, grandchildren and relatives
• His conduct with neighbours, guests, hosts and close companions
• How he dealt with servants, people with disabilities, those struck by hardship, the poor and the wealthy
• His way of guiding new Muslims, people seeking religious rulings, those who had sinned and the hypocrites
• His treatment of women, the elderly and the young
• His kindness towards animals and the rest of creation

About the author

Shaykh Muhammad Salih al-Munajjid is a contemporary scholar and the author of many books and lessons on Islamic belief, worship and character. This work appears among his educational writings and has been made available in English for readers who want to learn the Sunnah through the Prophet’s ﷺ own example.

Why How He Treated Them matters

Allah Almighty describes His Messenger ﷺ in the Qur’an as having an excellent example for those who hope in Allah and the Last Day. Many of us know the outline of his life, but fewer of us have studied how he spoke to a child, how he behaved when a guest arrived, or how he responded to someone who made a mistake. The strength of this book is that it turns admiration into practice. Each relationship becomes a lesson that a reader can apply the same day.

The subject is also timely. Families face stress, neighbours often do not know one another, and many people struggle to deal kindly with those who disagree with them. A book that returns to the Prophet’s ﷺ gentleness, fairness and patience offers a calm, reliable guide. It reminds us that the Sunnah is not only about outward acts but also about how we treat people.

Who should read this book

• Husbands and wives who want to improve life at home through the example of the Prophet ﷺ
• Parents and grandparents who wish to raise children with mercy and wisdom
• Teachers, imams and speakers looking for material for talks and classes
• Students of the Seerah who want a theme-based view of his life
• New Muslims and anyone who wants to understand the character of the Prophet ﷺ

How to benefit from the book

Read one section at a time and then pause. Ask yourself where you are already following this example and where you fall short. Write down one small action for the week, such as speaking more gently to a family member, visiting a neighbour or showing patience with someone who irritates you. Share what you learn with your family at the dinner table so that the lessons are discussed and remembered. Keep sending salawat upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ whenever his name is mentioned, and ask Allah to grant you the ability to act on what you read.

A book for home, gift and library

Because the topics are practical and easy to approach by section, this book suits a family shelf, a study circle or a mosque library. It also makes a thoughtful gift for a newly married couple, a student of knowledge or a friend who wants to know the Prophet ﷺ better. Readers can return to a single chapter when a particular situation arises, for example when a guest is expected or when a child needs correction.
