Abstract

The type of interactions of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) with others is very important. Observance of ethics in the life is one of the most important behavioral characteristics of the Prophet (PBUH). The main question of the article is what was the moral Sira of the Prophet (PBUH) and her behavior towards others? and did prophetic ethics have an effect on people's convergence and social solidarity? The analysis of the Primary sources, especially the sources of History, Sira and Ḥadīth, and the use of the descriptive-analytical method show that the observance of ethics and moral affairs was of particular importance in the life of the Prophet (PBUH). The Prophet (PBUH) respected all people, and did not see himself as separate from people. He was a tolerant person and forgave those who mistreated him. The Prophet (PBUH) respected equality in dealing with people, and no one was superior to others in his opinion, except for having piety (taqwā). Observance of these matters has attracted people to him and has been effective in the formation of a Unified Islamic Ummah. The disputes that arose after the death of the Prophet (PBUH) in the Islamic society regarding the succession, although it could create a serious challenge in social solidarity, but the management of the situation by Imam Ali (AS) removed this serious danger.
