| The Prophet Muhammad
 There is no compulsion in Islam. The Prophet Muhammad from the Qur'an,
Muhammad was born around the year 570 in the city of Mecca,
Arabia. His name means "highly praised." Muhammad's full name was Abu
al-Qasim Muhammad Ibn Abd Allah Ibn Abd al-Muttalib Ibn Hashim. He was
the last prophet of the religion of Islam.
Muhammad's father, Abdallah, died several weeks before his birth and
his mother, Aminah, died when he was six years old. He was raised by
his paternal grandfather, 'Abd al Muttalib, until the age of eight, and
after his grandfather's death by Abu Talib, his paternal uncle. Under
the guardianship of Abu Talib, Muhammad began to earn a living as a
businessman and a trader.
The tradition of Islam claims that in the year 610, Muhammad, while on
a retreat to Mount Hira for meditation during the month of Ramadan,
received his first revelation from the Archangel Gabriel. Gabriel said
to Muhammad: "Iqraa," meaning "read" or "recite." He replied, "I cannot
read." Gabriel embraced Muhammad and after releasing him repeated:
"Iqraa." Muhammad's answer was the same as before. Gabriel repeated the
embrace, asking Muhammad to repeat after him and said: "Recite in the
name of your Lord who created! He created man from that which clings.
Recite; and thy Lord is most Bountiful, He who has taught by the pen,
taught man what he knew not."
The Angel Gabriel visited the Muhammad many times over a period of
twenty-three years. Gabriel taught Muhammad the verses and he
instructed his scribes to record them. All the revealed verses are
compiled in the Qur'an. The Prophet's sayings and actions are recorded separately in collections known as Hadith.
Muslims believe that Muhammad was a messenger of Allah (Arabic for The
One and Only God) and last of the prophets sent by Allah to guide man
to the right path.
The Prophet's mission was to restore the worship of the One True God,
the creator and sustainer of the universe, as taught by Prophet Abraham
and all Prophets of God, and to demonstrate the laws of moral, ethical,
legal, and social conduct. Islam means peace by submission and
obedience to the Will and Commandments of God. Those who accept Islam
are called Muslims, meaning those who have accepted the message of
peace by submission to God.
The Qur'an provides insight into the missions, struggles and
communities of twenty-five Prophets, the first of which is Adam. The
Qur'an mentions four previously revealed Scriptures: Suhoof (Pages) of
Abraham, Taurat ('Torah') as revealed to Moses, Zuboor ('Psalms') as
revealed to David, and Injeel ('Evangel') as revealed to Jesus. Islam
requires belief in all the prophets and revealed scriptures as part of
its Articles of Faith.
Muhammad's first few followers were his cousin, Ali, his servant, Zayd
ibn Harithah, his friend, Abu Bakr and his wife and daughters. They all
accepted Islam by testifying that: "There is no Deity (worthy of
worship) except Allah (The One True God) and Muhammad is the Messenger
of Allah." By the end of his life, Muhammad had several hundred
thousand followers.
Before he died in 632, Muhammad had established the religious practices
known as "the five pillars of Islam." They are declaring the oneness of
Allah and his messenger Muhammad; praying five times a day; fasting
during the month of Ramadan; giving to charity; and making the
pilgrimage to [color:5123=blue ! important][color:5123=blue ! important]Mecca.
Some Muslims recognize a sixth pillar in the Islamic jihad that can be
an armed conflict in defence of Islam (known as the lesser jihad); and
improving one's spiritual being (called the greater jihad).
Muhammad is the model of Qur'anic behavior for Muslims. They mention
his name by adding "peace be upon him," a phrase used with the name of
all the prophets. Muslims try to follow the Qur'an and the Prophet's
example in every detail.
