The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
Full Name : Abū al-Qāsim Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib ibn Hāshim
He came into this world at the time when the Arabians were indulged in extreme ignorance, deterioration of morality and association of partners with Allah. They were brutes who killed ruthlessly and knew no morality.In his boyhood and youth, he remained exemplary in character and he steered clear of all the evils of the contemporary society. He had ideal morals and was renowned as Sadiq (the truthful) and Amin (the honest) even to his worst enemies and this was all before prophet-hood.At the age of forty, during his daily meditation in Cave of Hira, he received first revelation from Allah Almighty through the angel Gabriel (A.S.).He began preaching Islam and proclaimed himself as prophet and messenger of Allah.He was readily accepted there and he started a true Islamic society there. The brutes of Arabia were turning into polite and civilized human beings by hundreds and thousands every day.His success included Conquest of Makkah. After the Hajja-tul-Wida’, he left the world leaving the Muslims bereaved and mournful. He was buried in the Mosque of the Prophet. He gave the Muslims his life as a way to follow and Quran as a source of inspiration and hidaya.
“Our Prophet was a radical too - he fought against the injustices of his community and challenged the feudal order of his society, so they called him a radical. So what? We should be proud of that!”
Abu Bakar Bashir, Indonesian reformist
