Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) is a role model not only for the Muslims but also for the entire humanity
The Holy Prophet (s.w.a.) lived his life in the way of God and he dedicated it to promoting divine teachings. Therefore, his life and the unique and peerless personality of that great personality is a permanent example, lesson and model for people living in all eras of the history of Islam: "You have indeed in the Messenger of Allah a beautiful example of conduct" [The Holy Quran, 33: 21].
With his diligence, Islamic teachings spread and developed throughout history. These teachings are not particular to Muslims. The entire humanity benefits from the development of Islamic teachings. If we Muslims appreciate the value of Islamic teachings and understand their depth, we will manage to create a new world which is compatible with the real and natural needs of human beings. By relying on Islam, the Islamic Ummah can save the world which is drowned in lust, rage, ignorance, selfishness and egotism. The essence of all Islamic teachings and concepts is that people's behavior and movement in life should not be controlled by lust and rage. Its essence is that selfishness should not lead human beings and human societies. Rather, they should be led by reason and piety.
Take a look at the pains of humans. What do poverty, discrimination, corruption, folly and irrational prejudice stem from? Where do massacre of people, wars, oppression and cruelties in human societies come from? The root of all these disasters lies in the fact that whenever those individuals who have no self-control and who are slaves to lust, rage, selfishness, ambition and wealth dominate the fate of humanity in a corner of the world, they drag humanity towards poverty, war, ignorance, discrimination, corruption and chaos. Islam wants to cure this. Islam says that humanity's will and freedom - which is one of the greatest divine blessings to human beings - should not be in the hands of ignorance, cruelty, materialism, selfishness and egotism. Rather, it should be in the hands of reason and piety.
