So far you have been learning the basics of Islam. Now it is time to learn about our grea and dear prophet, Muhammad. It is through Muhammad that Allah has completed the Islamic way of life.

No other person in the history of mankind has left so great an impact on the life of his followers as Muhammad, the last and final messenger of Allah. His life is the best example for us to follow. He has shown us how to obey Allah, the lord of the Universe. Allah says in the Quran.

Allah will be pleased with us only if we practice Islam as practiced by Muhammad.
Muhammad’s Duty, according to the Quran, was to make Islam supreme over all other systems of life. IN oother words, you can say that Muhammad’s duty as the final messenger of Allah was to estqablish, the truth and remove falsehood from society. As muslims, we must also work towards the establishment of the supremacy of Allah’s law and the removal lof evil from the society in which we live. Ths is Jihad, whyich we learned from our beloved prophet Muhammad.

Birth and Childhood

Muhammad was born into the noble tribe of the Quranish in Makkha, Arabia, in 571 Chrisian Era. His father Abdullah died before his birth and Aminah, his mother died when he was only six. A few days after his birth he was given to Halimah, who took care of him until he was five years and one month old, when he was returned to the care of his mother. It was the custom of the quranish to give their new born babies to foster mothers for breast feeding.

After the death of his mother, his grandfather, Abdul Muttalib, looked after him. From early childhood Muhammad suffered one shock after another. His grandfather died when he was only eight years old. Muhammad was then looked after by his uncle, Abu Talib, a leader of the Quranish and a businessman. The name Muhammad means Praiseworthy.
