Today I come with some words about our Prophet Mohammad

Edward Gibbon Edward Gibbon and Simon Oakley say:
“It is not the propagation but the permanency of his religion that deserves our wonder, the same pure and perfect impression which he engraved at Mecca and Medina is preserved, after the revolutions of twelve centuries by the Indian, the African and the Turkish proselytes of the Koran...
The Mahometans have uniformly withstood the temptation of reducing the object of their faith an devotion to a level with the senses and imagination of man. 'I believe in One God and Mahomet the Apostle of God' is the simple and invariable profession of Islam. The intellectual image of the Deity has never been degraded by any visible idol; the honours of the prophet have never transgressed the measure of human virtue, and his living precepts have restrained the gratitude of his disciples within the bounds of reason and religion."
Edward Gibbon and Simon Ocklay, History of the Saracen Empire, London 1870, p. 54.)

Bosworth Smith says:
"He was Caesar and Pope in one; but he was Pope without Pope's pretensions, 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 the right divine, it was Mohammed, for he had all the power without its instruments and without its supports." (Bosworth Smith, Muhammad and Muhammedanism, London, 1874, p. 92)

Annie Besant says:
"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." (Annie Besant, The Life and Teachings of Muhammad, Madras, 1932, p. 4)

Prophet Muhammad's kinship

from his father

Prophet Muhammad, son of Abdullah, son of Abdul Muttalib, of the tribe of Quraysh, was born in Makkah fifty-three years before the Hijrah. His father died before he was born, and he was protected first by his grandfather, Abdul Muttalib, and after his grandfather’s death, by his uncle Abu Talib

from his mother

His mother Amena Bint Whb Bin Abd Mnaf Bin Zahra Bin Clab, and Clab is the fifth grandfather of the messenger From his father . And the scientists have agreed that Adnan is the twentyth grandfather of the messenger From the of offspring of our master Ismail peace be upon him. And he has been the prophet From the offspring of nobles parents that gentlemen and leaders and And he has authorized a firm place for them , a great position from a bred legitimate marriage between the Arabs .

THE PROPHET IS BORN

ONE day, while traveling north, one of the Arab tribes from Makkah met a hermit in the desert. Some of the men stopped to speak with him. Hermits were known to be wise and the Arabs often asked their advice

The hermit asked where they had come from. When they replied that they were from Makkah, he told them that Allah would soon send a prophet, who would come from their people. They asked the name of this prophet and the hermit answered that his name would be Muhammad and that he would guide them to a new way of life

Meanwhile in Makkah, Aminah, although saddened by the loss of her husband, felt especially well and strong as she awaited the birth of her baby. During this time she dreamt of many things. On one occasion it was as if a great light were shining out of her, and on another she heard a voice telling her that she would have a boy and that his name would be Muhammad. She never forgot that voice but she told no one about it

On Monday, the twelfth day of Rabi al-Awwal in the Year of the Elephant, Aminah gave birth to a son. Allah sends man many signs when one of His chosen Prophets is born and on that twelfth day of Rabi al-Awwal in the year 570 A.D, many such signs were seen. Some were seen by Jewish scholars who had read in their scriptures of a coming Prophet. One of these learned men in Yathrib, for instance, saw a brilliant new star he had never seen before as he studied the heavens that night. He called the people around him and, pointing the star out to them, told them a Prophet must have been born

That same night another Jew was passing by the meeting place of the leaders of Quraysh in Makkah. He asked them if a baby boy had just been born and told them that if it were true, this would be the Prophet of the Arab nation

Aminah sent news of the birth to her father-in-law, 'Abd al-Muttalib, who was sitting near the Ka'bah at the time. He was very happy and began at once to think of a name for the boy. An ordinary name would not do. Six days came and went and still he had not decided. But on the seventh day, as he lay asleep near the Ka’bah, 'Abd al-Muttalib dreamt that he should give the baby the unusual name of Muhammad, just as Aminah herself had dreamt. And the child was called Muhammad (pbuh), which means 'the Praised One'

When 'Abd al-Muttalib told the leaders of Quraysh what he had named his grandson, many of them asked, 'Why did you not choose the sort of name that is used by our people?' At once he replied, 'I want him to be praised by Allah in the heavens and praised by men on earth

A TIME WITH HALIMAH



LIKE many other women in Makkah, Aminah decided to send her son away from the city for his early years to the desert where it was more healthy. Women from the desert used to come to Makkah to collect the new babies and they would then keep them until they developed into strong children, for which they were well paid by the parents

Among the women who traveled to Makkah to fetch a new baby at the time Aminah's son was born, was a Bedouin woman called Halimah. With her was her husband and baby son. They had always been very poor but this year things were harder than ever because there had been famine. The donkey that earned Halimah on the journey was so weak from hunger that he often stumbled. Halimah's own baby son cried all the time because his mother could not feed him properly. Even their she-camel did not give them one drop of milk. Halimah did not know what to do. She thought to herself, 'How can I possibly feed another baby when I haven't got enough milk even for my own son?' At last they reached Makkah. All the other women of the tribe to which Halimah belonged, the Bani Sa'd, found a child to take back with them, but not Halimah. The only baby left was Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Usually the father paid the wet-nurse but Prophet Muhammad's father was dead. So no one wanted to take him, even though he was from one of the noblest families of Quraysh

Halimah did not want to take him either, but she did not want to be the only woman to go back to her tribe without a baby to bring up. She asked her husband whether she should take Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) or not. He advised her to do so, adding, 'Perhaps Allah will bless us because of him.' They started on the return journey and as soon as Halimah began to feed Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) her milk suddenly increased and she had enough for him as well as her baby son. When they were back home, everything began to change. The land became green, and the date trees, one of their main sources of food, gave lots of fruit. Even the sheep and their old she-camel began to give plenty of milk. Halimah and her husband knew that this good fortune had come because they had the new baby, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), whom they had come to love as if he were their own son

When Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was two years old, Halimah took him back to his mother. She pleaded with Aminah, however, to let her keep him for a little longer, and to her great joy the mother agreed. During his time with Halimah's family in the desert, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) played with her children and together they would take the sheep out to graze. At other times, however, Halimah would often find him sitting alone

It is said that on one occasion, two angels came to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and washed his heart with snow. In this way Allah made his heart pure for He intended Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to be greater than any man ever born and to become the Seal of the Prophets



In the Name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful



Did We not expand thy breast for thee.

And eased thee of thy burden.

Which weighed down thy back;

And exalted thy fame?

So truly with hardship comes ease,

Truly with hardship comes ease.

So when thou art relieved, still toil

And strive to please thy Lord.

(Koran xciv.1-8)



When Halimah finally took Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) back to Aminah, he was a healthy, strong boy. Later he would look back with joy on the time he had spent with Halimah, and he always thought of himself as one of the Bani Sa'd

THE ORPHAN'S CHILDHOOD

PROPHET MUHAMMAD (pbuh) returned to live with his mother in Makkah when he was about three years old. Three years later Aminah decided to take her son to visit his uncles in Yathrib. She told her maid, Barakah, to prepare everything they would need for the long journey, and then they joined one of the caravans going there

They stayed in Yathrib a month and Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) enjoyed the visit with his cousins. The climate there was very pleasant and he learned to swim and to fly a kite. On their way back to Makkah, however, Aminah became ill and died. She was buried in the village at al-Abwa not far from Yathrib. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) returned sadly to Makkah with his mother's maid He was now six years old and had lost both his father and mother. He was then adopted by his grandfather, ‘Abd al-Muttalib, who loved him dearly and kept him by his side at all times

It was the custom of 'Abd al-Muttalib to sit on a blanket near the Ka’bah. There he was always surrounded by people who had come to speak to him. No one was allowed to sit on the blanket with him, however, except his grandson Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), which shows how close they were to each other. Many times 'Abd al-Muttalib was heard to say: 'This boy will be very important one day.'

Two years later 'Abd al-Muttalib became ill and Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) stayed by him constantly. 'Abd al-Muttalib told his son, Abu Talib, to adopt Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) after his death, which he did. Abu Talib had many children of his own, but Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) immediately became part of his family and the favorite child

The time came for Quraysh to prepare a caravan to go to Syria. Abu Talib was going with them and he took Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) along. It was Prophet Muhammad's first journey to the north. After days of travel, the caravan arrived at a place near Syria where the Romans used to come to trade with the Arabs. Near this marketplace lived a monk called Bahira’. His cell had been used by generations of monks before him and contained ancient manuscripts

Bahira' saw the caravan in the distance and was amazed to see that over it was a large white cloud. It was the only cloud in a clear blue sky and it appeared to be shading one of the travelers. The monk was even more surprised to see that the cloud seemed to follow the caravan but disappeared when the person it was shading sat down under a tree. Bahira’ knew from the scriptures that a prophet was expected to come after Jesus and it had been his wish to see this prophet before he died. Realizing that what he had just seen was a miracle, he began to think that his wish might, after all, come true

The monk sent an invitation to the Makkahns to come and eat with him. The Arabs were surprised because they often passed by and Bahira’ had never invited them before. When the group was all together for the meal, the monk said, 'Is this everyone?’ 'No', someone said, 'a boy was left watching the camels.'

Bahira’ insisted that the boy should join them. The boy was Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). When he arrived Bahira’ said nothing, but watched him all through the meal. He noticed many things about his appearance which fitted the description in the old manuscripts. Later on he took him aside and asked Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) many questions. He soon found out how he felt about the idols in the Ka'bah. When Bahira tried to make him swear by them, as the Arabs used to do, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said, 'There is nothing in this world that I hate more'. They talked together about Allah, and about Prophet Muhammad's life and family. What was said made Bahira certain that this was indeed the Prophet who would follow Jesus

Then the monk went to Abu Talib and asked him how he was related to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Abu Talib told him that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was his son. Bahira replied that this could not be so because the boy was destined to grow up an orphan, and he ordered Abu Talib to watch over Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) with great care. There are many stories told about Prophet Muhammad's youth. Some tell of how he used to take the family's sheep to graze and was always kind to them. While they grazed he would sit thinking about the mysteries of nature. Unlike those around him, he never worshipped the idols and never swore by them. He also wondered why people were always struggling for power and money, and this saddened him and made him feel lonely, but he kept his feelings to himself. He was a quiet, thoughtful boy, and rarely played with other boys of his age

On one occasion, however, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) went with some of the boys to a wedding in Makkah. When he reached the house he heard the sounds of music and dancing but just as he was about to enter he suddenly felt tired and, sitting down, fell asleep. He didn't wake up until late the next morning and thus missed the celebrations. In this way Allah prevented him from doing anything foolish for He was keeping Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) for something much more important
THE PROPHET'S MARRIAGE

By the time Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was twenty-five he was famous for his honesty. He was respected by everyone, even the elders of Makkah. The purity of his nature increased with the years. It seemed he had an inner knowledge that other people did not have. He believed in one God-Creator of the world-and he worshipped Him with all his heart and with all his soul. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was the finest of his people, the most kind, truthful and reliable person in Makkah. He was known among Quraysh as 'the trustworthy' (al-Amin) because of the good qualities Allah had given him. He spent many quiet hours in a cave in Mount Hira', not far from Makkah, thinking about Allah

Among Quraysh was a respected and wealthy woman named Khadijah. She was involved in trade and on hearing of Prophet Muhammad's reputation, sent for him and asked him to take her goods and trade with them in Syria. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) agreed and left for Syria with one of Khadijah's caravans. With him went her slave, Maysarah, and they spent a great deal of time talking together. Maysarah soon came to admire Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). He thought he was quite different from all the other men of Quraysh
Two unusual events took place during this journey which puzzled Maysarah very much. The first happened when they stopped to rest near the lonely home of a monk. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) sat under a tree while Maysarah was busy with some work. The monk came up to Maysarah and asked, 'Who is the man resting under the tree?'

'One of Quraysh, the people who guard the Ka’bah', said Maysarah. 'No one but a Prophet is sitting beneath this tree', replied the monk. The second event occurred on the journey back to Makkah. It happened at noon, when the sun is at its hottest. Maysarah was riding behind Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and as the sun grew hotter he saw two angels appear above Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and shield him from the sun's harmful rays. The trading was very successful and Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) made more profit for Khadijah than she had ever received before. When they arrived back in Makkah Maysarah told Khadijah everything about the trip and what he had noticed about Prophet Muhammad's character and behavior

Khadijah was a widow in her forties and as well as being rich and Highly respected she was also very beautiful. Many men wanted to marry her but none of them suited her. When she met Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), however, she thought he was very special. She sent a friend to ask Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)why he was not married. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said that it was because he had no money, to which the friend replied: 'Supposing a rich, beautiful and noble lady agreed to marry you?' Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) wanted to know who that could be. The friend told him it was Khadijah. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was very happy, because he greatly respected Khadijah. He went with his uncles, Abu Talib and Hah, to Khadijah's uncle, and asked his permission to marry her. The uncle gave his permission and soon after, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and Khadijah were married

Their marriage was a joyful one and Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and Khadijah were well suited. Their life together, however, was not without some sadness. They were blessed with six children, two sons and four daughters. Sadly their first born, a son called Qasim, died shortly before his second birthday, and their last child, also a son, only lived for a short time. Happily, their four daughters-Zaynab, Ruqayyah, Umm Kulthum, and Fatimah-all survived

For a few years Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) lived a calm and quiet life as a merchant in Makkah. His wisdom benefited many people. One such time was when Quraysh decided to rebuild the Ka’bah. It was a difficult decision for them because they had to knock it down before rebuilding it and the people were afraid that Allah might be angry with them for knocking down His sanctuary. At last one of the wise old men of Quraysh decided to begin, then everybody followed him

They worked until they reached down to the first foundation that Abraham had built. As soon as they began to remove the stones of this foundation, however, the whole of Makkah began to shake. They were so afraid that they decided to leave these stones where they were and build on top of them

Each tribe brought stones and they built the Ka'bah up until they reached the place where the black stone was to be set. They then began to argue about who should have the honor of carrying the black stone and lifting it to its place in one of the corners of the Ka'bah. They almost came to blows but fortunately one of the men offered a solution. He suggested that they should be guided by the first person to enter the place of worship. They all agreed and as Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was the first to enter everyone was pleased, because they all trusted him. They told him the cause of the argument and he asked them to bring a large cloak. They did as he asked, and after spreading the cloak on the ground he placed the black stone in the center of it. Then he asked a man from each tribe to hold one edge of the cloak and together to raise it to the height where the stone should be see. When this was done, he took the stone off the cloak and put it into place himself
This story shows how all Quraysh respected and trusted Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and how, by his wisdom and good sense, he was able to keep the peace
