By appointment of Prophet and his continuous efforts, his holiness could lead people from ignorance and hopelessness to light in the light of holy verses of Quran and his words and politeness through applying various methods of educating. Revelations of God, words and religious teachings, his thoughts and behaviors in Muslims meetings and congregations, moved a huge wave of guided and interested people.  To manage society,   even though the main criterion and law of peoples’ life was holy Quran, the holy Prophet was teacher and explainer of Ahkam and divine teachings.
