MUHAMMAD
Peace be upon him
A Mercy to the world

 … Alphonse de Lamartine, a French writer, and politician, once said

    If greatness of purpose, smallness of means, and astonishing results are the three criteria of a human genius, who could dare compare any great man in history with Muhammad?… Philosopher, Orator, Apostle, Legislator, Conqueror of Ideas, Restorer of Rational beliefs… That is Muhammad.

Who is Muhammad?

Muslims believe that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the last and final prophet to be sent to mankind in a long chain of prophets that started from the time of Adam and included many others like Noah, Solomon, David, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and many more. All called for the worship of the one God.

The coming of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is a confirmation of the prophecy mentioned in previous scriptures, as Prophet Muhammad is a direct descended of Abraham through his son Ishmael. God fulfilled his promise to Abraham that from the descends of Ishmael will be a great nation. (Genesis 21:13). Jesus Also prophesied the coming of the comforter and helper who shall bear witness of him. (John 15:26)


His mission

In a land where people worshiped 360 idols, deprived women of their rights, enslaved people, killed one another for the simplest reasons.

To this inhumanity has come a man chosen by God, who brought them out of darkness into the light, called them to worship One God, and freed their minds from all types of ignorance and superstitions. Within several years he united the hearts of people to become the most powerful and civilized nation on earth.


His teachings

Muhammad (pbuh) taught that the best of people are those who are most beneficial to others, and the closest to him are those of the best manners. He taught that no one truly have faith until they love one another. He protected the rights of Muslims as well as non Muslims and protected rights of women. He organized the relationship between parents and their children.

He commanded to help the needy, give charity, even a smile is charity, visit the sick, take care of the old, stand for rights of all and speak the truth. He encouraged gaining knowledge as a duty on every Muslim man and woman. He called for justice and equality. All men are equal before God, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, and white has no superiority over a black, except by piety and good action.


His legacy

His legacy remain alive in the hearts of Millions of Muslims worldwide, as he informed Muslims that in their hands are two sources of guidance that whoever follow them will never go astray. The Quran and his sunnah.    That is Muhammad (pbuh)
