PROPHETMUHAMMAD(pbuh)
HewasborninMakkaonthe29thofAugust,570
CE, 17 Rabi ul Awwal (Friday), and when he died
at the age of 63 in 622 CE (11 AH) the whole of
theArabianPeninsulahadchangedtotheworship
of One God; from tribal quarrels and wars to
nationalsolidarity;fromlawlessnesstodisciplined
living; from moral bankruptcy to the highest
standardsofmoralexcellence.Humanhistoryhas
neverknownsuchacompletetransformationofa
peopleoraplacebeforeorsince.
He was born an orphan but belonged to the
noblest of the Arabian tribes, his genealogy
accepted as the most righteous, yet he said No
honourisnoblerthanhumilityandkindness
His opponents created enmity with him
wronged him, spoke ill of him, harassed him, yet
he would say Oblige your brother by warning
them,correctthembyshowingfavours.

When it came to bravery there was no parallel.


His most perfect student and successor, Ali
(pbuh) would say When we used to meet the
enemies and battle was at its peak, we would
stand behind Muhammad. When our hearts
wavered, he was always closest to the enemy.
During battles he instructed his people never to
start war and to fight only when they were
attacked first. If the enemy lost his orders were
not to chase the fleeing soldiers he would
alwaystryandtalktotheenemyhopingthattheir
humanity would shine through and the fighting
averted.
He emancipated women, teaching that both
genders were created for the same purpose; the
recognition of their Creator and therefore the
realisationoftheirfullpotentialashumanbeings,

mandate When his daughter Fatima (pbuh) used


to enter the room he would stand for her in
respect.
They tried to bribe him, intimidate him, threaten
him with death and destruction; but he stood
firm; not for a moment losing momentum in
pursuing his mission to ensure that in helping
others to recognise the unity of the one God the
human being would realise his/her full potential
physically,emotionally,mentallyandspiritually.
