Who is Mohamed (pbuh)?

Allah2

 

Prophet Muhammad, may the peace mercy and blessings of God be on him, is the prophet to whom Allah revealed the final Testament, the Quran. He was a simple man who lived and died in Arabia but who changed the profile of religion forever.

 

He provided a living example of how a man can worship God and how he can respect his fellow human beings. He was a practical example of what it is to be devoted and give God his due recognition in our lives.

 

Through his life we see a benelovent and caring statesman, a husband and gracious father, a prophet like no other. He confirmed the message of the previous prophets and is their (spiritual) brother in this world and the next.

 

We learn about the prophet’s life (on whom be peace) by his way of life (sunnah) meticulously recorded through his companions and posterity in a historic and never to be repeated fashion of a careful memorisation in Hadith. Today his hadith are found in every corner of the earth showing us a practical way of life.

 

It is through the blessed prophet that Allah revealed the Quran which serves as an eternal pillar of legislation and belief. The Quran is read by every muslim daily and religiously and we submit to its entirety and correctness in absolute faith. This is the spoken word of Allah which is superior than the writings of any man.

 

Muslims also believe in the same Prophets mentioned in Jewish and Christian traditions, including Noah, Moses, Abraham and Jesus, and they believe that all prophets came with the same message – to worship God alone, without partners, sons or daughters. 

 

Muslims do not worship Prophet Muhammad; they understand that he is only a man.  However, he is a man worthy of our utmost respect and love. He will stand before God on the day of Judgement and beg God to have mercy on us.

A major part of the Prophet’s mission was to bring peace to the world. One of the ways in which he strove towards this end was to attempt to convince people that all men and women, albeit inhabiting very different regions of the world, and different from one another in color, culture and language, et cetera, were in fact brothers and sisters. His message was crucial, for a proper relationship of love and respect can be established only if that is how human beings regard one another. To inculcate such feelings, the Prophet would preach to his followers, “You are all Adam’s offspring and Adam was made of clay.”

 

The Prophet would exhort his followers to live in peace with their fellow men, saying, “A true believer is one with whom others feel secure,” one who returns love for hatred. He used to teach the believers that anyone who would return love only when love was given belonged on a lower ethical plane. The true believer never reasons that only if people treat him well that he will treat them well in return. He is accustomed rather to doing good to those who mistreat him, and to refrain from harming those who do him injury. The Prophet himself set the example.

 

All his recorded words and actions reveal him as a man of great gentleness, kindness, humility, good humor and excellent common sense, with a great love for all people.

Who will assist us on the Day of Judgement in Allah’s court?

 

The Prophet (pbuh) said,“I will be the chief of all the people on the Day of Resurrection. Do you know how Allah will gather all the first and the last (people) in one level place where an observer will be able to see (all) of them and they will be able to hear the announcer, and the sun will come near to them.

 

Some People will say: Don’t you see, in what condition you are and the state to which you have reached? Why don’t you look for a person who can intercede for you with your Lord?

 

Some people will say: Appeal to your father, Adam. They will go to him and say:‘O Adam! You are the father of all mankind, and Allah created you with His Own Hands, and ordered the angels to prostrate for you, and made you live in Paradise. Will you not intercede for us with your Lord? Don’t you see in what (miserable) state we are, and to what condition we have reached?’

 

On that Adam will reply, ‘My Lord is so angry as He has never been before and will never be in the future; (besides), He forbade me (to eat from) the tree, but I disobeyed (Him), (I am worried about) myself! Myself! Go to somebody else; go to Noah’.

 

They will go to Noah and say; ‘O Noah! You are the first amongst the messengers of Allah to the people of the earth, and Allah named you a thankful slave. Don’t you see in what a (miserable) state we are and to what condition we have reached? Will you not intercede for us with your Lord?

 

Noah will reply: “Today my Lord has become so angry as he had never been before and will never be in the future ‘Myself! Myself!’ “

 

Go to the Prophet Muhammad(pbuh).The people will come to me, and I will prostrate myself underneath Allah’s Throne. Then I will be addressed: ‘O Muhammad! Raise your head; intercede, for your intercession will be accepted, and ask (for anything) for you will be given.” (Bukhari No. 556)
