It has been creating doubts, errors, fantasies, disconnections and confusions in the mind of the Muslims and most importantly the youth.

However, having studied the life and teachings of a man who has been considered as the best exemplary and the modest for the entire humanity by the Muslim and non-Muslims alike.
