Muhammad

Muhammad ibn Abd Allah ibn Abd al-Muttalib Ibn Hashim (Arabic: بن عبد الله بن عبد المطلب محمد) (c. 570-632), in short form and sometimes Mohammed or Muhammad, especially in the past, Muhammad is considered Islam to be a messenger (Qur'an 48:29) and a prophet sent by God to guide mankind to the right way (Quran 7: 157). It is considered by many groups who identify themselves as Muslims to be the un-Nabuwwah Khatim latest in a series of prophets sent by Allah (God); [2] Other groups identified as Islamic, such as the Ahmadiyya, consider the possibility of later prophets in Islam subordinates is open. [3] The Qur'an, which is the central religious text of Islam, is believed by Muslims to have been revealed to Muhammad by God; and religious, social and political principles that Muhammad established in the light of Quran became the foundation of Islam and Islamic civilization. [4]

He is usually referred to as simply The Prophet Muhammad or Prophet of the Muslims, and considered the greatest of all the prophets, [5] and established religion as the only religion acceptable to God (Quran 3:19). He is seen by Muslims as a possessor of all virtues. [6] As an act of respect Muslims follow Muhammad called for the blessing 'sallallahu alayhi wasallam' Arab (Peace be upon him, sometimes abbreviated SAW), [7] a practice taught by the Quran and Hadith. The words and deeds of Muhammad's life - known as Sunnah - are considered a model of lifestyle that Muslims are obliged to follow. Recognizing Muhammad as a true messenger of God is one of the fundamental requirements of Islam [8] which is clearly stated in the second part of the testimony of faith, the proclamation of Islamic faith: "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. "The Qur'an refers mainly to Muhammad as "messenger" and "Messenger of Allah" (Qur'an 48:29), and asks people to follow in order to succeed in later life (Quran 3: 132). Born in about 570 CE a respected family Quraysh of Mecca, Muhammad the nickname "al-Amin" (Arabic: الامين) won., Meaning "faithful" [9] [10] At the age of 40 in 610 CE, Muhammad is said to have received his first verbal revelation in a cave called Mount Hira, which was the beginning of the descent of the Quran which continued until the end of his life; and Muslims claim that Muhammad asked God to preach the "unity of God" in order to destroy idolatry, an openly present practice in Arab society. [11] [12] Due to the persecution of the newly converted Muslims, at the invitation of a delegation to Medina (then known as Yathrib), Muhammad and his followers migrated there in 622 CE, an event known as the Hijra (Hegira). [13] [14] A turning point in the life of Muhammad, the Hijra also marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar. In Medina, Muhammad drafted the Constitution of Medina which specifies the rights and relationships between the various existing communities there, formed an independent Muslim community (Ummah), and managed to establish the first Islamic state. [15] Despite the continuing hostility of the Meccans, Muhammad and his followers, took control of Mecca in 630 CE., Treated its citizens with generosity, and ordered to destroy all the pagan idols. [16] In recent years in Medina, Muhammad united the various Arab tribes under Islam, [17] carried out social and religious reforms, [18] and made administrative advances that further consolidated the Islamic community. [19] At the time of his death in 632, his teachings had won the acceptance of Islam by almost all the tribes of the Arabian Peninsula. [20]
