"If you are wealthy, then ponder on the humbleness and generosity of that Great Prophet who reigned sovereign over entire Arabia and won over the hearts of every Arab notable through love...
If you are among the weak, then take reference from the Prophet's life in Mecca under the rule of the horribly oppressive idolaters...
If you are triumphant, reflect on the Prophet of courage and submission who routed the enemy at the battles of Badr and Hunayn...
But, Allah forbid, should you become defeated, then remember the Prophet walking patiently and courageously amid his wounded and martyred Companions at the field of Uhud, having completely yielded to Divine Will...
And if you are a teacher, just think of the delicate, sensitive and affectionate Prophet conveying the pearls of his heart to the Students of Suffa by the Masjid'un-Nabawai...
If you are a student, picture the Prophet sitting before Jibril صلى الله عليه وسلم at the moment of Revelation, cautious and motivated, filled with respect.
If you are a preacher, a counselor calling to the good, then give ear to the pleasant voice of the Prophet flashing sparks of wisdom from his heart to his Companions at the Masjid...
If you are left without aid in you want to protect and communicated the Truth and elevate it, then take a look at the life of the Prophet who proclaimed the Truth to the ignorant and called them onto guidance at a time when he was deprived of all aid in Mecca...
If you have broken the resistance of the enemy, leaving them incapacitated, and devastated evil to proclaim the Truth, then bring before your eyes the sight of the Prophet, on the day of the Conquest, humbly and thankfully entering the sacred turf of Mecca, on camelback as if to fall prostrate, despite being a victorious commander...
If you own a farm and want to put things on track, then draw a lesson from the Prophet of competence who appointed the most able to revive and administer, in the best possible way, the lands of Banu Nadir, Khaybar and Fadak after seizing possession of them...
If you are lonely, then reflect on the son of Abdullah and Aminah, their dearly loved orphan of innocence...
If you are a teenager, closely consider the life of the youth, the future prophet, shepherding the shock of Abu Talid at Mecca...
If you are a trader set out with caravan loads of goods, ponder the integrity of the grandest man of the convoys destined for Yemen and Damascus...
If you are a judge, recall his just and prudential move in intervening to replace the Black Stone at the verge of Meccan notables going at each others' throats...
Then turn your glance once more to history and take a look at the Prophet in Medina at the Masjid'un-Nabawi delivering his verdict with the greatest conceivable justice between the poverty stricken destitute and well to do rich, as just as one can imagine.
If you are a spouse consider the deep emotions and compassion of the Blessed Husband of Khadijah and Aisha...
If you are have children then learn the affectionate conduct of the father of Fatimah, the grandfather of Hasan and Husayn...
Whoever you may be and in whichever circumstance you may find yourself in, you will find Muhammed Mustafa صلى الله عليه وسلم as the most perfect mast and most beautiful guide at all times and places."
