Categorisation as a method is generally used in law to determine the beneficiaries of affirmative action. Inherent in the method are advantages but also deficiencies. The latter include over-inclusiveness, the fact that those better off in the categories generally benefit from affirmative action, under-inclusiveness, and the fact that multiple disadvantage is not recognised. In this article, the author argues that shortcomings of categorisation, which result in affirmative action measures not reaching their intended beneficiaries, should be acknowledged and dealt with. End The Prophet was so truthful that he reported all of what Allah revealed to him, even the verses which reproached him. He lived among his companions as one of them, indistinguishable in dress or treatment to the point that a visitor would ask, “Who is Mohammad among you?” He forbade his friends to stand up for him so that he could sit in their place. He taught them, worked with them, and consulted them about important matters. He used to serve his family and repair his shoes himself. He lived a modest life because he was indifferent to money and spent it on good things, not because he didn't have access to wealth. If he had wished, his palace could have been more magnificent than that the Roman and Persian emperors, but he chose the riches of the afterlife.
