Said Mohammed, "I have bequeathed to you that which will always be a guide to you, if you will take hold of it; the Book of God and the practices of my life." This saying and its implications have been critical in the development of Islam. (Mohammed Heikal,
The Return of the Ayatollah
, p. 80.).

The author is referring to the following lines in the Qur’an:
"Certainly you have in the Messenger of Allah an excellent exemplar for him who hopes in Allah and the latter day and remembers Allah much." (Holy Qur'an 33: 21)

“
Our society could never be an Islamic one unless we sincerely tread the footsteps of Allah's final Messenger to mankind, heed his sayings, observe his glorious actions and attitudes, and most important of all follow them, as the faithful among his companions did.”

In short, Allah the most Glorious enjoins upon us to take the Prophet's behavior as an example, because he guides us to virtue and righteousness:

"Certainly you have in the Messenger of Allah an excellent exemplar for him who hopes in Allah and the latter day and remembers Allah much." Holy Qur'an (33: 21)

"Others of the Prophet's names and epithets are reported in the hadith . Thus Muhammad ibn Isma'il al-Bukhari reported on the authority Of Jubayr ibn Mut'im that he heard the Apostle of Allah says: "I have many names: I am Muhammad, I am Ahmad. I am al-mahi (the effacer), for through me Allah shall efface rejection of faith. I am al-hashir (the gatherer), for all men shall be gathered at my heels (on the last day). I am al-'aqib (the last to follow), after whom there shall be no other (prophet)."5 In another tradition: "I am the effacer" is taken to mean, he through whom the sins of those who follow him shall be effaced. In yet another tradition he is called al-muqaffi (that is he who followed all other prophets), nabiyyu 't-tawbah (the prophet of penitence), nabiyyu 'l-malhamah (the prophet of war), al-khatim (the seal), al-ghayth (the succorer), and al-mutawakkil (he who trusts in Allah)."

Jihad implied global conquest from the very moment it was first revealed by Allah to Mohammed. One verse of Mohammed’s revelation about Jihad says, “Fight against them until there be no more temptation…until the religion be Allah’s, that is, until Allah alone shall be worshipped and none else besides him.”

In a petition sent to Atlantic Monthly Press objecting to this chapter, the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee points out that many Moslems feel that these are the words of God, not of Mohammed, who was merely Allah's conduit. The true speaker, they wish to point out, is, "God Almighty   not Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him...." ("Human Rights Petition For: Civil Liberties Of Nasser Ahmed. In Camera."
