All praise is due to Allah, the Sovereign Lord of all the universes. The Most Affectionate, the Most Merciful. The Owner of the Day of Retribution. O' Allah!

Story of Prophet Muhammad S.




 The Quran Class…MSP Propgram (Muslim Safeer Program)


Prophet Muhammad* –Rahmatul-lil-aalameen-The Prophet* Of Mercy
                                                               *Means Peace and Blessings upon him/her
……………………………………………………………………………………………………


Part 1


Prophet Muhammad *was born in Mecca in 571 A.D. He was from the generation of Prophet Abrahim*and Prophet Ismael *.His family was recognized as Al-Quresh and his tribe was Bani Haashim.
Prophet Muhammad’s Father Abdullah* died before his birth. His mother Amina* passed away a few years after he was born. During these years he was also taken care by Haleema Saadia, a mid-wife.
Prophet Muhammad ‘s* grandfather Abdul-Mutlib* was the Chieftain of the Tribe. He lived until Prophet Muhammad turned 8 years old. After his death his uncle Abu Taalib* took his responsibility.
Prophet Muhammad was a serious , responsible and a very decent kid. He could not get any formal education in his childhood. He was not very fond of playing like other boys, or ,of wasting time in idle talking. He, sometimes, used to take the sheep out to graze, just like a sheppard boy.
When he grew up, he learnt many traditional skills and sports, like horse-riding and archery etc.
Later. he started learning the Trade with his uncle and took it as his profession .He became a very popular, not because he belonged to a noble family, but because he was a very noble person, himself. People started calling him “Sadiq” and “Ameen”, meaning The Truthful and Honest or Trustworthy.
 At that time, Arabs were passing through a very dark age of Ignorance. They were badly indulged in social evils , like dishonesty and immodesty. They only wanted to have fun in life. They used to drink, gamble, steal, fight and kill, a lot. The worst of it was that they used to kill their new-borne daughters, by burying them alive. Their society had no respect for women at all. There was no respect for neighbors, travellers or poor.
In short , there was no law in the country. People used to worship many different gods and wanted to please their gods , by different practices.
The family of Prophet Muhammad* used to follow the religion of Prophet Abrahim* at that time. 


Part 2

Prophet Muhammad* continued working with his Uncle. The nobility of his character earned a great popularity amongst his people.
A very rich and noble widow, Khadija* proposed Prophet Muhammad and he got married at the age of 25 years. His wife was 15 years older than him, yet he had a great love and respect for her. She was one of her best companion in his life. Allah blessed them with a daughter named Fatima*.
Prophet Muhammad *used to meditate a lot. He used to travel to a hill , with a cave called Hira, in the vicinity of Mecca, to pray alone. He was 40 years old when Allah sent the Angel Gabriel * to give him the Message of Islam. The Angel appeared in human form and told him to READ/RECITE by saying  the word IQRA in Arabic. Prophet Muhammad *replied “I can’t read/recite”. Then the Angel repeated his message by reciting a few verses from the Quran.
96:1         Read in the name of your Lord Who created.
96:2         He created man from a clot.
96:3         Read and your Lord is Most Honorable,
96:4         Who taught (to write) with the pen
96:5         Taught man what he knew not.
Then the Angel mentioned his name  and told him that he (Muhammad*) was a Messenger of Allah!
When Prophet Muhammad*reached home , he was trembling with fear and worries. His wife Khadija* calmed him down by reminding him of his noble character, and assured him that God will never leave him alone in his great responsibility.
Khadija * was the first women who became Muslim. Amongst other people were  Abu Bakr* (Prophet’s friend and the first Caliph of Muslims)  Ali* (Prophet’s  child cousin , who later became the fourth Caliph of Muslims) and Zaid*Prophet’ freed slave .
For some time the message of Islam was kept secret by the command of Allah. During this period the message of Islam spread in the neighborhood, only. Later Allah ordered Prophet Muhammad* to declare the message of Islam to his people. Later more people joined in, like Umar* (the Second  Caliph or the leader of Muslims), Usmaan* (the Third Caliph of Muslims) Hamza* (Prophet*’s Uncle)
Most of the Arabs didn’t like the message of believing in ONLY ONE GOD and started treating Muslims, badly, including our Prophet* . During these early years Muslims faced the worst kind of cruelty by their own people. They were tortured to death for saying “Ahad” meaning“ONE GOD”. Even the women were not spared. The worst time they faced was the time of boycott for about 3 years, during which many Muslims died from starvation, including Prophet*’s beloved wife Khadija* and his Uncle Abu-Taalib*.

Part 3

After 10 years of hard time in Mecca, Allah commanded Muslims to migrate from their homeland, Mecca to Medina ,a welcoming town where message of Islam was greeted with great honour.
Muslims established great examples of brotherhood and harmony in Medina.
It was really sad that the Meccans did not want to leave these Muslims alone. Meccans already had  tried to kill the Prophet* as well, in Mecca. They planned to battle him in Medina ,too.
It was only because of the ignorance of Meccans, that many battles took place between Muslims and Meccans. Allah gave permission to Muslim to DEFEND themselves, as it is the responsibility of every Muslim to protect his/her honor, property and life. Otherwise, Muslims were commanded to lead peaceful lives and spread the message of Islam to the world.
Finally Prophet Muhammad* who never stopped praying for his people’s guidance, became successful to sign the TREATY OF PEACE with Meccans. Muslims enjoyed a few years of Peace only as Meccans broke the Treaty’s rules. Then Allah commanded the Prophet to return back to his homeland.
There were about 10 thousand Muslims who marched back, peacefully to Mecca, after 13 years, declaring ALLAHU AKBAR (God is Great) and KALIMA ( There’s no God but Allah and Muhammad is the Messager of Allah).Muslims were  especially,ordered not to harm anyone, except who attack them. They were ordered to respect women, children, elderly, plants and animals.
 No one could stop them! On reaching upon Mecca,  Prophet Muhammad* removed all the IDOLS from the Kaaba and asked a Black slave Bilaal* to climb the roof of Kaaba and say AZAAN. This was the announcement of the VICTORY OF ISLAM!  ……………..The Prophet* pardoned everyone!
In his final address to Muslims he reminded them of great values, for example…

“All mankind is from Adam and Eve.  An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, nor does a non-Arab have any superiority over an Arab; white has no superiority over black, nor does a black have any superiority over white; [none have superiority over another] except by piety and good action.  Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood.  Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly.  Do not, therefore, do injustice to your selves. Remember, one day you will appear before God and answer for your deeds.  So beware, do not stray from the path of righteousness after I am gone.”

He lived for 63 years. Allah completed and perfected the Religion of Islam by Prophet Muhammad.(5:3) He was the last of the Messengers and a  Message of Mercy to the World.
