About Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

Asalam alaykum

I will be writing about prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was praying in a cave on mount hira when angel Jubril also known as the holy spirit appeared to him. He told prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to recite the words in front of him. Although prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was an illiterate he was able to recite the words by Allah's (SWT) permission.

He was first worried about it that he confided in his first wife Khadija who assured him that he was a good person that God (SWT) was not going to disgrace him. Khadija proposed to prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) when he was 25 and she was 40. They were blessed with two sons and four daughters. The prophet of Allah (pbuh) also had a son with another wife he married. He married more women when Khadija died. He was in a monogamous marriage with Khadija till she died. 

All his children died young. Prophets face the most challenges. He had no surviving son (his sons died during his lifetime) but his daughter who died after he did gave birth to two sons and one daughter. They lived longer than his children and they went ahead and had their own children (prophet Muhammad's (pbuh) great grandchildren). He has descendants in this present age.

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) had several wives, some were widows. It kept the mind of Muslim men that fought during the battles that their wives and children would not starve if they died as their wives will be married. It is a noble thing to marry widows.

Prophet Muhammed's father died before he was born and his mother died when he was 6. He became an orphan, 

"Did He not find you orphaned, and sheltered you? And found you wandering, and guided you? And found you in need, and enriched you? Therefore, do not mistreat the orphan.Nor rebuff the seeker. But proclaim the blessings of your Lord." Quran 93:6-11

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was raised by his grandfather then his uncle. He was born in 571AD and died in 632AD after he fell ill. He is a descendant of prophet Ismail. He was introduced to trade at a young age.

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is one of the best creations of Allah. He is the last prophet and messenger of Allah. He is the seal of all prophets. The holy Quran a mercy for mankind and jinns was revealed through prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Some people say he is the best creation of Allah, he is not the best, he is one of the best creations of Allah (SWT). All prophets and messengers of Allah are equal. Prophets are one of the best creations of Allah. He preached that Allah (SWT) should be worshipped alone, no partner(s) should be associated with Him just like every other prophet had preached. Islam started with prophet Adam.

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) earned a nickname called the trustworthy before he became a prophet cause of his honesty. He was kind and generous. He loved children and treated them with tenderness. He is a great leader just like Prophet Ibrahim. He helped his wives with household chores. He was very humble and patient. He was steadfast.He was a great political leader. He was just.

"Say, "If you love God, then follow me, and God will love you, and will forgive you your sins." God is Forgiving and Merciful." Quran 3:31

As muslims we are to follow the footsteps of prophet Muhammad (pbuh) so that God will love us. Not all hadiths are authentic, use your brain and heart when you hear them to know if they are authentic.

May Allah forgive me if I made any error in this article. Amin. Everything should be done seeking the pleasure of Allah. Part of seeking the pleasure of Allah means hoping for a reward from Him in this life and the Hereafter. Everything happens according to the will of Allah (you have freewill, therefore, you are responsible for your actions).

Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah). May Allah send peace and blessings to prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Thank you for reading this article. Like this page on facebook. Keep reading this blog regularly. Cheers!
