“He led the life of an ordinary man with least requirements giving priority to practically follow the teachings of Dhamma. It was the philosophy of life and righteousness of Muhammed Nabi that brought a fair government to the people in the Middle East where there had been tribal rivalries from which they suffered for many generations.
