In Islam [[Muhammad]] is known as '''[[Uswa Hasana|uswa hasana]], al-Insān al-Kāmil'''. It is an Arabic this means that he is the ''' 'perfect human' ''' who is ''' 'worthy of imitation' '''. As such, all of his deeds, actions, thoughts, and practices are the perefect examplars for all humans in every time in every age. For this reason, his [[Sunnah]] or traditions is one of the basic building blocks of [[Islamic Law]] (the other being the [[Qur'an]]). This tradition is preserved mostly in the [[Hadith]] collections of [[Muhaddith]]s such as [[Bukhari]], who wrote his books in the middle of the 9th century, and the collectors of the [[Sira]] histories of the prophet's military campaigns such as [[ibn Ishaq]]. These sources imparts to their readers many ideas, attributes, and habits of the prophet, all of which are held up by the [[ulemaa']] as model behavior for all of mankind.
