People can seek light from the message and guidance from his (SAW) life to achieve perfection in the moral, spiritual and social areas of life. He has set very high and noble ideals through his practical example for all mankind to follow in every field of life.

As head of the state of Madinah, he decided all cases of merit with justice and equity, irrespective of colour, creed or race. Once a Quraish woman was found guilty of stealing. Some people wanted to save her from punishment in order to protect the honour of the family of the Quraish. They wanted to hush up the whole affair. They asked Hazrat Usama Bin Zaid (RA) to intercede on her behalf. Hazrat Usama requested the Holy Prophet (SAW) to forgive her. The Holy Prophet (SAW) very furiously said, “Bani Israil was ruined because of this, They applied law to the poor and forgave the rich.”

During the Sermon an Ansari, seeing some men from the tribe of Banu Tha’lba sitting there stood up and pointed toward them and said “Oh Messenger of Allah! Their ancestors killed a member of our family. We appeal to you to get one of them hanged in exchange for that.” The Holy Prophet (SAW) replied. “The revenge of the father cannot be taken on his son.”

The Holy Prophet (SAW) was so well-known for his justice that even the Jews, who were his bitter enemies, brought their suits to him and he decided cases in accordance with Jewish law. He very strictly followed the Commandment of Allah.

In short, we can say that the life of Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) shows that He was an exemplary judge.
