The basis of the Prophet`s reform are very clear from which we can benefit in transforming our contemporary societies. Also the researcher found that the Prophet’s methods focused on changing people individually and collectively; from a single person to the society as a whole, including leaders. The Prophet (SAW) did not start his process of reformation from the leaders` level, but he paid more attention to teaching ordinary people. With this, our move to reform our society must be based on that if we wish to achieve our purpose in transforming nations.
