What relevance does the Prophet Muhammad have to today’s world?

 

In the Qur’an, the Prophet Muhammad is described as being sent as a [mercy to the worlds] (Al-Anbiyaa’ 21:107). Muslims believe he was sent all humanity and all times. In our world today, with so much war and fighting, how can the message of the Prophet Muhammad’s mercy be relevant? How did the Prophet Muhammad himself deal with war? How can there be mercy within war?

The answers to these and more questions were provided by Muhammad Al-Mukhtar  Al-Shinqiti, Director of the Islamic Center of South Plains, Lubbock, Texas in a live dialogue.
