Book excerpt: The Messenger of God is, for Muslims, in every aspect of his life, an unfailing guide that we need to follow meticulously. He was sent to the world as a Messenger for all who would live and breathe on earth until the Last Day and led a full life with the potential to solve every possible problem. His days of Prophethood are akin to compressed files; with each page that is opened, new windows and doors are opened, and new alternative solutions presented, which are commensurate with our intention and clarity of vision.
