Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing be upon him)

by Khaoula from Kenitra

My hero is as great and kind as an angel. I am proud of being one of his followers. He is the prophet of Islam Muhammad (peace be upon him).

Prophet Muhammad is a great figure in the world, and one of the most influential people humanity has ever witnessed. His words and deeds greatly affected human thought and behavior throughout history. He was a religious teacher, a great father, a wonderful husband, a faithful friend, an excellent guide, a strong believer, social and political reformer, and the best companion.

I love him more than myself because of his special status in our religion. Allah has honored him. All Muslims are grateful to him for his achievements.

Muhammad (p.u.h) is a prophet sent from Allah to all humankind. He is the last prophet. He was born in Makah in the year 570. He was orphan. So, he was raised by his uncle Abd Al Motaleb who was from a tribe called Quraysh.

Muhammad was illiterate and most of people at that time were illiterate too. But he was famous for being truthful, trustworthy, confident, and generous. He used to help the poor by giving them charity; he used to play with children and make them happy and he was so honest and sincere to the extent that people called him the trustworthy.

 

At forty Muhammad received his first revelation from Allah through the angel, Gabriel. At first, he was afraid. When he returned home, he told his wife Khadija what was going on. Khadija took him to her cousin (Waraka Ibn Nawfal) who told Muhammad that he was going to be a prophet.

 

Muhammad was very happy and waited for the second revelation from Allah. For twenty -three years, the verses of The Holy Quran came successively.

 

He and his followers suffered from unbelievers who tried to hurt them. Allah allowed them to emigrate from Makah to The Medina in the year 622.Some years later, Muhammad and his followers became stronger and were able to return to Makah. 

 

After the death of the prophet (p.u.h.) ,Islam had spread to remote lands in the world. Among the reasons for the fast and peaceful spread of Islam was the truth and clarity of this religion and the simplicity of its message.

 

Prophet Muhammad is up to now a perfect example of honesty, fairness, mercifulness, compassion, faith, courage and commitment; an exceptional, thoughtful human being in brief.

 

Many famous figures recognized him as an important person in the history of mankind. Some of these are well-known writers and leaders: Bernard Show, LaMartine, and Gandhi.
