Description

Assalaamu alaikum [peace be to you],

Again, in this occasion of the birthday of the last prophet of Islam, I'd like to talk more about this great man.


Man & Prophet

Mohammed -peace be upon him- was an illiterate but wise and well-respected man who was born in Makkah in the year 570 C.E., at a time when Christianity was not yet fully established in Europe. His first years were marked by the deaths of his parents. Since his father Abdullah died before his birth, his mother Aminah died when he was six. his grandfather Abdul-Muttalib took him but he also died soon after, when Mohammed was eight years old.
his uncle, Abu-Talib, raised him after that. As Mohammed -peace be upon him- grew up, he became known for his truthfulness, generosity and sincerity, so that he was sought after for his ability to arbitrate in disputes. His reputation and personal qualities also led to his marriage, at the age of twenty-five, to Khadeejah, a widow whom he had assisted in business. Thenceforth, he became an important and trusted citizen of Makkah. Historians describe him as calm and meditative.

Mohammed -peace be upon him- never felt fully content to be part of a society whose values he considered to be devoid of true religious significance. It became his habit to retreat from time to time to the cave of Hira', to meditate near the summit of Jabal al-Nur, the "Mountain of Light", near Makkah.

At the age of 40, while engaged in one such meditative retreat, Mohammed -peace be upon him- received his first revelation from God through the Angel Gabriel. This revelation, which continued for twenty-three years, is known as the Qur'an, the faithful recording of the entire revelation of God. The first revelation read:
اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ
Recite! In the Name of your Lord, Who has created
خَلَقَ الْإِنسَانَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ
Has created man from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood).
اقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ الْأَكْرَمُ
Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous,
الَّذِي عَلَّمَ بِالْقَلَمِ
Who taught by the pen
عَلَّمَ الْإِنسَانَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ
Has taught man that which he knew not.

[The holy Qur'an - translation of verses 96:1-5]
It was this reality that he gradually and steadily came to learn and believe, until he fully realized that it is the truth.

His first convert was Khadeejah, whose support and companionship provided necessary reassurance and strength. He also won the support of some of his relatives and friends. Three basic themes of the early message were the majesty of the one, unique God, the futility of idol worship, the threat of judgment, and the necessity of faith, compassion and morality in human affairs. All these themes represented an attack on the crass materialism and idolatry prevalent in Makkah at the time. So when he began to proclaim the message to others the Makkans rejected him. He and his small group of followers suffered bitter persecution, which grew so fierce that in the year 622 C.E., God gave them the command to emigrate. This event, the Hijrah (migration), in which they left Makkah for the city of Madinah, some 260 miles to the north, marked the beginning of a new era and thus the beginning of the Muslim calendar. During his suffering, Mohammed -peace be upon him- drew comfort from the knowledge revealed to him about other prophets, such as Abraham, Joseph, and Moses, each of whom had also been persecuted and tested.

After several years and some significant battles, the Prophet and his followers were able to return to Makkah, where they forgave their enemies and established Islam definitively. By the time the Prophet died, at the age of 63, the greater part of Arabia had accepted Islam, and within a century of his death, Islam had spread as far west as Spain and as far east as China. It was clear that the message was not limited to Arabs; it was for the whole of humanity.

I happened to see this as I was browsing, and it's really nice!! The picture is cute and I also ended up learning something new about another religion the description. I've always found Islam interesting but I didn't know much about it until now, and I think it's really cool how you're so proud of your religion. :)
