The Prophet (saw) is a Role Model
The Muslim Ummah to be successful in this world and hereafter is dependent on its complete adherence to Islam (Qur’an and Sunnah) as a complete ideology in life and its distancing from the invalid secular capitalist ideology led by Satan and his secular capitalist followers:
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱدۡخُلُواْ فِى ٱلسِّلۡمِ ڪَآفَّةً۬ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُواْ خُطُوَٲتِ ٱلشَّيۡطَـٰنِۚ إِنَّهُ
“O you, who have believed, enter into Islam completely and do not follow the footsteps of Satan.” [Al-Baqara: 208]
Indeed, it is impossible to adhere completely to the Islamic ideology until Muslims emulate the Prophet (saw):
لَّقَدۡ كَانَ لَكُمۡ فِى رَسُولِ ٱللَّهِ أُسۡوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ۬
“There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent example.” [Al-Ahzab: 21]
“Verily, the character of the Prophet of Allah was the Quran.” [Muslim]
In addition, following the Prophet (saw) is not complete until Muslims firmly follow that which the Prophet (saw) came with:
هُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَرۡسَلَ رَسُولَهُ ۥ بِٱلۡهُدَىٰ وَدِينِ ٱلۡحَقِّ لِيُظۡهِرَهُ ۥ عَلَى ٱلدِّينِ كُلِّهِۦ
“It is He who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to manifest it over all religions.” [Al-Fath: 28]
Without meeting the above steps this noble Muslim Ummah cannot be gratified that it has genuine love for the Prophet (saw). True love for the Prophet (saw) must be devoted to the guidance that he came with and separated from the invalid emanating from Satan and his followers especially western colonialists who carry the secular capitalist ideology. Sincere love for the Prophet (saw) is anchored on the adherence to the hukm shariah which currently are not executed comprehensively instead are partly executed and at personal level with no state influence. On the other hand, Muslims are being ruled and oppressed by agents of secular colonial states, which are calling for the prohibition of the allowed and allowing the prohibited by Allah!
Emulating the Prophet (saw) honestly is the only method that will give Muslims the confidence and urge to realize that their existence in this world is for Islam to rule and manifest over other religions! Furthermore, to realize that step it is compulsory for Muslims to observe fully Islam and strive day and night to ensure that Islam returns to their lives in general via the reestablishment of the Islamic State of Khilafah on the Method of Prophethood. In order to arrive at that pinnacle Muslims must sacrifice and put their efforts in terms of wealth and energy so that Allah is pleased with them and ultimately offer them victory against the corruption that is dominant globally. Contrary to that, Muslims and Islam will continue to be fought, pointed fingers at and branded the so-called “Extremism, Terrorists or Terrorism etc” since we have distanced ourselves from Islam by not taking the Prophet (saw) as our role model.
