:bulletred: The concept of Prophethood in Islam

For a Muslim, a Prophet does not primarily imply someone able to foretell the future - although most of Mohammed's predictions have already been fulfilled in astonishing ways - but a man sent by the God to call people to repent, have faith, and dedicate their lives to doing good, thereby helping them rediscover the purpose for which they were created. Prophets are not considered to be Divine, and are not prayed to or worshipped - though they were men of outstanding character and spirituality who were protected from committing sins, performed miracles, received revelation and communed with the God. Islam teaches that the God is One, without partner or associate; no human being can share in any of the qualities that are unique to the Intelligent Creator and Sustainer of our vast and complex universe. Mohammed -peace be upon him- was no more than God's honoured servant and Messenger, yet he embodied the best of human potential, and that is what continues to make him so appealing and accessible today. Last in a line of Prophets and Messengers sent by the God to all people on earth - including Noah, Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon, and Jesus -peace be upon them all- who effected the large-scale transformation of individuals and society, Mohammed -peace be upon him- was unsurpassed as teacher and guide. Speaking of his own role as the last true Prophet before Judgement Day, he said:
'The parable of me in relation to the Prophets who came before me is that of a man who built a house beautifully and well, except that one brick in its corner was missing. The people went around it and wondered at its beauty, but said: "If only that brick were put in its place!" I am that brick, and I am the last of the Prophets.'

:bulletred: Mohammed's personal life

Mohammed -peace be upon him- was born in 570 AD to a noble family of Makkah (Arabia), and was a descendant of the Prophet Abraham.
Orphaned at six, Mohammed -peace be upon him- was a thoughtful youth who worked as a shepherd and helped his uncle with the trade caravans.
As a teenager he rejected the immoral customs of his people, who had become steeped in idolatry, and joined a chivalrous order, earning the nickname 'The Trustworthy'.
At age 25 he found employment with a wealthy widow of 40 named Khadeejah, managing her business. Impressed by his honesty and character, Khadeejah proposed marriage and he accepted. Despite their age difference, they were happily married for 25 years, and were blessed with six children. After Khadeejah's death Mohammed -peace be upon him- married several women for political and humanitarian reasons, as was expected of a man of his position; all but one were widows and divorcees. He was a loving and considerate husband and father, and his family was devoted to him despite his voluntary poverty, for he put into practice his own advice, "the best of you is the one who is best to his own family."


:bulletred: Mohammed -peace be upon him-, the Prophet

Mohammed -peace be upon him- received his first revelation from the God Almighty at 40, through the Angel Gabriel. He continued to receive revelations for 23 years, on topics ranging from the Oneness of the God and His wondrous handiwork, to stories of earlier prophets, morality and ethics, and life after death... These revelations became collectively known as the Qur'an, and are considered by Muslims to be the literal word of the God Almighty; the Prophet's own words were collected separately. Mohammed's call to monotheism and social reform was heavily opposed by the Makkan elite; after enduring thirteen years of intense persecution, he and his followers were invited to relocate to Madinah, a town to the north that had been torn apart by generations of intertribal warfare. Mohammed -peace be upon him- successfully settled their differences and forged a bond of brotherhood between the two warring factions, as well as between the locals and the new emigrants. For Arab tribal society, this was an amazing accomplishment. The early Muslims learned to implement the golden rule under the Prophet's tutelage: "No one truly believes until he desires for his brother what he desires for himself."

If I'm right, it's from the God. If I'm wrong, it's from myself.

Why don't Muslims question the wisdom of following an illiterate pedophile mass murderer from the desert?
