Abstract
The Sira of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in political, cultural, and social dimensions serves as an exemplary model for Muslims. The Prophet employed innovative methods to captivate the hearts of diverse social groups. He also adopted a unique methodology in conveying the divine message and propagating the teachings of Islam. This study aims to answer the question: What methodologies did the Prophet employ in his interactions with different social strata of his time? Utilizing a descriptive-analytical approach and drawing on library resources, the study finds that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), with comprehensive knowledge of his audience, employed different methods for their guidance. He was able to identify the distinct characteristics of various groups, including the general public, wrongdoers, enemies and disbelievers, followers of other religions, and tribes, and to interact with each group separately, providing tailored education for each. The Prophet’s creative educational Approachs were aligned with the individual and social capacities of various social strata and were influenced by the contemporary context, leading to the widespread acceptance of Islam.
