Seerat Un Nabi

Muhammad spread his teachings. Accordingly, as stated in chapter 13 paragraph 3, “Mr. Muhammad invited me to visit his home in Chicago… while he trained me for months. "Elijah had Malcolm brainwashed, yet Mr. Muhammad wanted to teach him everything he knew. Above all, as stated in chapter 10 page (216), “It means that my worship of him was so awesome that he was the first man whom I had ever feared- not fear as such as one had of the power of the sun.” Malcolm was beginning to see Mr. Muhammad as more like a God not as high as Allah but he knew everything he needed to know to be as high as him. However, as stated chapter 13 page (222), “I began firing Mr. Muhammad’s teaching at the New York members and the few friends they managed to bring in.” Malcolm and Mr. Muhammad felt that Malcolm knew enough to start traveling and reciting Elijah Muhammad’s teachings for him. In fact, as stated in chapter 14 page (241), “Christian love is the white man’s love for himself and for his race.” Once again Malcolm saw the world as Black America and White America each with mostly different religions. Furthermore, as stated in chapter 14 page (241), “Every Muslim happily anticipated that now, through the white man’s powerful communication media, our brainwashed black brother and sisters across the United States… were going to see, hear, and read Mr. Muhammad's teachings…” Malcolm seemed to be excited that everyone would be able to hear about Mr. Muhammad and his teachings of Allah. Also as stated in chapter 14 page (245), “All Mr. Muhammad is doing is trying to uplift the black man’s mentality…” Malcolm thought that Mr. Muhammad only wanted to help people by teaching the muslin lessons. However, as stated in chapter 14 page (246), “Whoever tells you how many Muslims there are doesn’t know, and whoever does know will never tell.” Malcolm and Mr. Muhammad knew how many Muslims there actually

“This world is a prison for the faithful, but a paradise for unbelievers”(Muhammed). One in every five persons on this earth firmly believes that the Prophet Muhammad is the last Messenger of God. He was a Muslim and there are more than 1.3 billion such Muslims today. Not only individuals but entire countries take pride in declaring their allegiance to him. There are 54 such Muslim states today, ranging from those as large as Indonesia and Bangladesh, with populations of 200 and 125 million. The prophet Muhammad has influenced a huge portion of the world’s population; in addition, he still has impacts on Islamic and Western world till this day this day. Therefore, this research paper will focus on muhammad’s biography, early life, early social changes under Islam, appearance, Family(backgrounds, traditions and ect….), legacy, Muhammad’s view on Jihad, and Muhammad’s last four years.

He went to China several times just to spread the gospels and tell people how great God is. When he is still in preparation of goingt to china, he went tough many hard tasks, for example--- out of money. He went out of money several times but this didn’t stop him from going to china, but the one I liked the most is when he is affected with a deadly disease, all of the doctors are telling him he is a dead man, but he prayed and prayed to God, and his disease is healed soon. As he once said “The great commision is not an option to be considered, it is a command to be obeyed.” he literally gave himself to God which required a really determined mindset.

Muhammad was a person who had desires of being a great person not a simple person. The World History Project states that, “Muhammad Ali wins light-heavyweight gold medal at Summer Olympics”. The World History Project exemplified that, Muhammad had won a trophy at a special sporting event. The World History Project insinuates that, “Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali) defeats Sonny Liston for Heavyweight Title”. The World History Project informs that, Muhammad has won a great accomplishment as a Heavyweight Champion. Muhammad Ali has made a great lifetime for his career.

Muhammad proves the success of his leadership by spreading the knowledge and wisdom of Islam. For example, Muhammad began his first steps, after his encounter with William D. Fard, who was Muhammad's teacher who surprisingly disappeared, Muhammad would, creating organizations that would evolve in size. According to the article, “Elijah Muhammad”, it states, “He continued to preach financial independence for black Americans, racial separation rather than integration, and a strict code of moral behavior, (Biography, Elijah Muhammad)”, this is important because it shows the desire Muhammad had for his people, who are the black community. In addition, he later calls himself the messenger of Allah due to his mission. Furthermore, Muhammad would show off his profession of persuading by the teachings that inspires thousands of blacks. Muhammad demonstrates this by converting a handful of African Americans to study the way of Islam. He moves his teachings to the city of Chicago, which increases his organization with more loyal followers. Nevertheless, his leadership would be a significance to communities of Muslim and also future

The religion of Islam is based on the prophet Mohammad ibn-Abdullah born in Mecca around A.D.570 (Braswell, 11). “He served the Muslin community as a prophet, political and economic leader, and a commander –in –chief of his warriors” (Braswell, 19). In Islamic terms, Mohammad means, “the much praised one” and in Moslem it means “submission one”. It educates their followers that there is only one god and it is through their faith and conduct that they will go to a heaven or paradise after their death. Islam gives people principles and encourages unity (Crites, 2011). Mohammad's Islamic teachings manifested over the years. He would take trips into the

As Muhammad was the first to receive the Qur’an, he had the knowledge and understanding to interpret it and show how the principles of the Qur’an could actually be translated into life. Muhammad did not only preach to Muslims about how they should live and the guidance to life but he also showed them it into action, gave them an example (his life). He was a Sunnah – path or example. The perfect man – (al-Insan e Kamil). Many Muslims call him that. He was a perfectly faithful Muslim. Muhammad was seen as the perfect man by Muslims because he was totally and completely devoted to his religion. He was faithful, he continued praying etc.

In the 7th Century came the rise of a new religion that began in the heart of the Middle East. Islam, the second most popular religion in the world today (“Major Religions Ranked by Size”), was formed after a man named Muhammad claimed he had received a revelation from god himself. Muhammad, known famously as the Prophet Muhammad, spread his message that he received through his revelations to his people and eventually to the world. Although the famous prophet ran into his fair share of obstacles, he was ultimately successful with his quest to spread the message throughout the Middle East alongside his Sahaba (the Prophet Muhammad’s companions that helped him spread the message). While Islam started off as one big group when Muhammad was in

According to Michael H. Hart, the author of “The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History”, Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) is ranked as the most influential person in history. In every phase of his life, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) continuously exhibited exemplary courage. On one of the occasions, Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) decided to visit Taif, Saudi Arabia to spread the message of Islam. However he was unwelcomed by the residents of Taif as they were under the influence of the ruling tribe of Mecca; Quraysh. The people of Taif, not only rejected his word, but also persecuted him by throwing stones at his feet. One said “This is sorcery, and we do reject it.” and another mentioned “Why is not this Qur’an sent down to some leading man in either of the two (chief) cities?” (Az-Zukhuruf. 43-30/31) (1). Despite the attitude people showed to him, he withstanded their emotions and continued with his goals to spread the message of peace and Islam. During that time period, there were about 130 muslims who embraced the message of Islam, but because of Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) persistent courage, there are over 1 million muslims today. In recent times, the courage and determination of Martin Luther King has made a long-lasting footprint on the african-american culture. He has significantly aided to the movement of equal rights for people of colour by

who would later change the lives of many in the world. At a very young age, he already began working on a caravan. Then, at the age of twenty, “he began working for a rich widow named Khadija” . Soon after getting married, as well as, had four beautiful daughters. Mohammed learned also to set time away for what was important to him. He “often went alone to a cave where he prayed” . “One day he returned from the cave and told his wife he had heard a frightening voice tell him he was to be the messenger of Allah, his name for god” . Mohammed was unsure of the voice he heard and whether to believe it. His wife reassured him that “he was to be a great prophet who would lead the Arabs away from the worship of idols” . He continued to pray in the cave and get new information about this new religion he was to start. “He called the religion of Islam”

Although Islam is the second largest religion in the world with a following of 1.8 billion followers, no other religion has faced more scrutiny and hardship in the past decades. This has been caused by media and governments labeling Islam as a whole with their extremist groups like Al Queda and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. I even thought that the principals held by these extremist group were more common in Islam than they are. After studying Islam and gaining more information I came to respect this religion more than any other we studied this semester because of its seriousness and unity. The Quran and Hadith provide concrete details and instructions to follow in the faith of Islam. No texts from any other religion are as upfront with their beliefs than these. Muhammad was and continues to be a powerful and understanding leader that has led it to becoming the world’s fastest growing religion. I enjoyed studying the powerfulness of Muhammad and the direct voice of God in the Quran that is sets Islam apart from Judaism and Christianity.
