An Analysis and Examination of the Management of Social Crises in the Prophet’s Life-style

Human societies have always suffered from social crises, and because of this, they have sought to find strategies to resolve them. Given the infallibility of the Prophet, the Messenger of Allah, and his communication with the sources of revelation, the Prophet’s management in times of social crises is also the best model for humanity to follow. Drawing upon descriptive-analytic method as well as a research based on library documents, this article has studied the managerial measures of the Prophet in existing crises in three stages: before the crisis, during the crisis, and after the crisis. Cases as the formulation and centrality of law, explanation and clarification of social crisis are taken as measures before crisis in the Prophet’s lifestyle. To build social solidarity, to seek help from God, to attract political and social supports, to raise awareness and enhance insight are all the managerial measures taken during crisis in the Prophet’s lifestyle to overcome social crisis. Delimiting beliefs, getting into forceful confrontation with opposition forces, and improving the living condition of society have been introduced as measures after crisis, each of which plays a significant role in managing social crises.
