Who is Mohammad( PBUH)?

Muh?ammad (Arabic: ????? ?; also Mohammed, Mahomet, and other variants),[1] 570-632 CE,[2] established the religion of Islam and the Muslim community (Ummah).[3] Muslims believe him to have been God`s final prophet, to whom the Qur`an was divinely revealed.

The name Muhammad etymologically means "the praised one" in Arabic [4], being a passive participle from the root ?-M-D ??? "to praise". Within Islam, Muhammad is known as "The Prophet" and "The Messenger". The Qur`an (33:40) also refers to him as the "Seal of the Prophets". In verse 61:6 he is referred to as Ahmad, which in Arabic means `more praiseworthy`.




Muhammad

Born to ‘Abdu’llah ibn ‘Abdu’l-Muttalib, Muhammad initially adopted the occupation of a merchant, He was renowned amongst all tribes as being "sadaq" and "ameen", meaning honest and truthful. He often retreated to a cave on a mountain outside Mecca called Hira, for contemplation. Muslims believe that in the year 610, when Muhammad was about forty, he was visited in the cave by the Angel Gabriel who commanded him to recite verses sent by God. These first verses started:"READ, in the name of thy Sustainer, who has created man out of a germ-cell" and continued through the end of Prophet`s life. The Qur`an was revealed to Muhammad over a period of about twenty-three years, until his death.

He expanded his mission as a prophet, publicly preaching strict monotheism and warning of a Day of Judgment when all humans shall be held responsible for their deeds. He did not reject Judaism and Christianity, two other monotheistic faiths known to the Arabs, but said that he had been sent by God in order to complete and perfect those teachings.

Many in Mecca resented his preaching and persecuted him and his followers. Eventually, in 622, he was forced to move out of Mecca in a journey known to Muslims as the Hijra (the Migration). He settled in the area of Yathrib (now known as Medina) with his followers, where he was the leader of the first avowedly Muslim community.

12 Rab ul Awal ( The Day of MOHAMMAD )

Love for Rasool Allah - The Right Perspective Muslims all over the world dearly love the Prophet Muhammad (saw).He is highly respected amongst the Muslims as well as non-muslims. Love for Rasool Allah is a sign of true faith as mentioned in the Hadith Narated By Abu Huraira Allah’s Apostle said, “By Him in Whose Hands my life is, none of you will have faith till he loves me more than his father and his children.” [Bukhari213] Allah’s Apostle said, “By Him in Whose Hands my life is, none of you will have faith till he loves me more than his father and his children.” [Bukhari213] Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said “Love Allah because he nourishes and sustains you. Love me because Allah loves me” (Tirmidhi) Allah says in the Quran Say ‘If you do love Allah follow me, Allah will love you and forgive your sins for Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful. Quran 331 Allah says in the Quran “Say If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your wives, your kindred, the wealth that you have gained, the commerce in which you fear a decline, and the dwellings in which you delight are dearer to you than Allah and His Messenger, and striving hard and Fighting in His Cause; then wait until Allah brings about His Decision (torment). And Allah guides not the rebellious folk.” [Quran 924] But is this love only limited to decorating mosques with green flags and lights,having Milads, reciting Durood on 12th Rabiul Awal and saying poems in honor of Rasool Allah Is this all there is to complete one’s faith One day in the whole year, to proclaim your love for the Rasool Narrated By Abu Huraira Allah’s Apostle said, “I have been sent (as an Apostle) in the best of all the generations of Adam’s offspring since their Creation.” [Bukhari 56757] Narated By Zahdam bin Mudrab I heard Imran bin Husain saying, “The Prophet said, ‘The best people are those living in my generation, then those coming after them, and then those coming after (the second generation).” Imran said “I do not know whether the Prophet mentioned two or three generations after your present generation…” [Bukhari 48 819] Since the Sahaba of Rasool Allah were the best generation and the best Muslims of all times, we need to analyze how did they display their love for Rasool Allah. Did they ever celebrate the birth day of Rasool Allah, hold Milads and decorate the mosque, loudly recite the durood and poems in praise of the Nabi How did they prove their love for Rasool Allah and complete their faith In the following section we will be analyzing the best generation and their love for Rasool Allah. Date of Birth of Prophet Muhammad (saw) Most historians are silent about the exact date of birth of the Prophet, where as those who do mention it, there are many contradictions and disagreements amongst them. Muhammad Husain Haykal in the biography of Muhammad (saw) writes “Historians have disagreed about the year of Muhammad’s birth. Most of them hold that it took place in “the Year of the Elephant,” i.e. 570 C.E. Ibn ‘Abbas claims that Muhammad was born on “the Day of the Elephant.” Others claim that he was born fifteen years earlier. Still others claim that he was born a few days, months, or years, after “the Year of the Elephant.” Some even assert that Muhammad was born thirty years and others seventy years later than “the Year of the Elephant.” Historians have also differed concerning the month of Muhammad’s birth although the majority of them agree that it was Rabi` al Awwal, the third month of the lunar year. It has also been claimed that he was born in Muharram, in Safar, in Rajab, or in Ramadan. Furthermore, historians have differed as to the day of the month on which Muhammad was born. Some claim that the birth took place on the third, of Rabi` al Awwal; others, on the ninth; and others on the tenth. The majority, however, agree that Muhammad was born on the twelfth of Rabi` al Awwal, the claim of ibn Ishaq and other biographers.” The presence of such disagreements on the exact day of his birth, proves that birthdays were not important to the Arabs. Arabs were very well known for their great memorization skills. They used know the lineage of their families and other Arabs by heart; they used to know hundreds of verses of poetry by heart, a great feat of memorization. ‘Amr b. Sharid reported his father as saying One day when I rode behind Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him), he said (to me) Do you remember any Poetry of Umayya b. Abu Salt. I said Yes. He said Then go on. I recited a couplet, and he said Go on. Then I again recited a couplet and he said Go on. I recited one hundred couplets (of his poetry). [Muslim 285602] If the birthday of Rasool Allah was such an important cele

What Non-Muslim Say About "Mohammad"

MOHAMMAD ( P B U H ) Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of God and the Last of the Prophets (Qur’an 33:40)

The Prophet Of Islam (Peace and Blessings be Upon Him and His Family)

This is a collection of short quotations from a wide variety of Non-Muslim notables, including academics, writers, philosophers, poets, politicians, and activists belonging to the East and the West.

To our knowledge none of them ever became Muslims. These words, therefore, reflect their personal views on various aspects of the life of the Prophet.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

(1869-1948) Indian thinker, statesman, and nationalist leader


I became more than ever convinced that it was not the sword that won a place for Islam in those days in the scheme of life. It was the rigid simplicity, the utter self-effacement of the prophet, the scrupulous regard for his pledges, his intense devotion to his friends and followers, his intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute trust in God and in his own mission. These, and not the sword carried everything before them and surmounted every trouble.”

[Young India (periodical), 1928, Volume X].

Edward Gibbon

(1737-1794) Considered the greatest British historian of his time.

“T he greatest success of Mohammad’s life was effected by sheer moral force without the stroke of a sword.”

[History Of The Saracen Empire, London, 1870]

“His (i.e., Muhammad’s) memory was capacious and retentive, his wit easy and social, his imagination sublime, his judgment clear, rapid and decisive. He possessed the courage of both thought and action.”

[History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, London, 1838, vol.5, p.335].

David George Hogarth

(1862-1927) English archaeologist, author, and keeper of the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford.

“Serious or trivial, his daily behaviour has instituted a canon which millions observe this day with conscious mimicry. No one regarded by any section of the human race as Perfect Man has been imitated so minutely. The conduct of the Founder of Christianity has not so governed the ordinary life of His followers. Moreover, no Founder of a religion has been left on so solitary an eminence as the Muslim Apostle.”

[Arabia, Oxford, 1922, p. 52].

Michael H. Hart

(1932- ) Professor of astronomy, physics and the history of science.

My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world’s most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular level.”

[The 100: A Ranking Of The Most Influential Persons In History, New York, 1978, p. 33].

William Montgomery Watt

(1909- ) Professor (Emeritus) of Arabic and Islamic Studies at the University of Edinburgh.



“His readiness to undergo persecutions for his beliefs, the high moral character of the men who believed in him and looked up to him as leader, and the greatness of his ultimate achievement – all argue his fundamental integrity. To suppose Muhammad an impostor raises more problems than it solves. Moreover, none of the great figures of history is so poorly appreciated in the West as Muhammad.”

[Mohammad At Mecca, Oxford, 1953, p. 52]

Alphonse de Lamartine

(1790-1869) French poet and statesman.

Philosopher, orator, apostle, legislator, warrior, conqueror of ideas, restorer of rational dogmas, of a cult without images; the founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of one spiritual empire, that is Muhammad. As regards all standards by which human greatness may be measured, we may well ask, is there any man greater than he?”

[Translated from Histoire De La Turquie, Paris, 1854, vol. II, pp. 276-277].

Reverend Bosworth Smith

(1794-1884) Late Fellow of Trinity College, Oxford.

“… he was Caesar and Pope in one; but he was Pope without the Pope’s pretensions, and Caesar without the legions of Caesar. Without a standing army, without a bodyguard, without a palace, without a fixed revenue, if ever any man had the right to say that he ruled by a right Divine, it was Mohammed; for he had all the power without its instruments and without its supports.”

[Mohammed and Mohammedanism, London, 1874, p. 235]

Washington Irving

(1783-1859) Well-known as the “first American man of letters”.

“He was sober and abstemious in his diet, and a rigorous observer of fasts. He indulged in no magnificence of apparel, the ostentation of a petty mind; neither was his simplicity in dress affected, but the result of a real disregard to distinction from so trivial a source … In his private dealings he was just. He treated friends and strangers, the rich and poor, the powerful and the weak, with equity, and was beloved by the common people for the affability with which he received them, and listened to their complaints … His military triumphs awakened no pride nor vain glory, as they would have done had they been effected for selfish purposes. In the time of his greatest power he maintained the same simplicity of manners and appearance as in the days of his adversity. So far from affecting regal state, he was displeased if, on entering a room, any unusual testimonial of respect were shown to him.”
[Life of Mahomet, London, 1889, pp. 192-3, 199]

Annie Besant

(1847-1933) British theosophist and nationalist leader in India. President of the Indian National Congress in 1917.

“It is impossible for anyone who studies the life and character of the great Prophet of Arabia, who knows how he taught and how he lived, to feel anything but reverence for that mighty Prophet, one of the great messengers of the Supreme. And although in what I put to you I shall say many things which may be familiar to many, yet I myself feel whenever I re-read them, a new way of admiration, a new sense of reverence for that mighty Arabian teacher.”

[The Life And Teachings Of Muhammad, Madras, 1932, p. 4]
