What A Truly Good Person Muhammad

At first, the history of Islam is connected to Mohamed’s life. Mohamed was born in to a wealthy merchant Clan, which is now Saudi Arabia. On the other hand Muslims thought Islam began with God. Mohamed was raised by his uncle, because his parents and grandparents passed away. Mohamed lived the life of a Quryash Merchant then later married a girl by the name of Khadija. Mohamed started hearing voices and though he was going mad. But Khadija thought differently and told Mohamed that he was the chosen one. Mohamed searched for the true faith of Judaism and Christianity. Mohamed isolated himself in to the mountains near Mecca for retreat and mediation. Gabriel the Angel told Mohamed to recite the Koran. The Koran was only originally recited and not written down in one volume until after Mohamed’s death. This has brought controversy over the authentic composition. Mohamed’s wife was the first to convert.

Like any other African American, Muhammad was born into suffering. His life indicates his time as a boy to be rough because of segregation and other prejudice acts. Out of 13 children's, Muhammad began working around the time he was in fourth grade. He was a hardworking man from his early age that impacted his lifestyle. The significance of working in the field was to put food on the table for his family, according to the article, “Honorable Elijah Muhammad”. He gained his dedication through the fact that he started working at a young age. With poverty and the will to survive going to war with each other, him and his family began to search for better economics. In addition, Muhammad and his family would find themselves leaving the south due to hard times. According to the article, “Honorable Elijah Muhammad”, the author states, “Black families, like the Pooles, were leaving the south, at that time, in search of better economic and social circumstances”, this shows the importance of Muhammad's family lacking to live life

Unlike most scenarios slaves faced, Suleiman experienced an unusual kindness from his masters. When Tolsey was convinced that he was unsuitable for the hard labour of tobacco fields, instead of selling him for profit, he reassigned Suleiman to work with cattle. He was not closely supervised during this job which allotted him time to run off to pray in the woods, however, he was mocked and treated unjustly while he prayed which was common treatment toward slaves. Later on, Suleiman was given “special treatment” after being jailed and later returned to Tolsey; this time, he did not have to sneak off to pray, but was actually given a place to pray and given other conveniences to make slavery as easy as possible. Still upset with his current situation, Suleiman wrote a letter, intended for his father, received by a director of the Royal African Company who took it upon himself to buy him from Tolsey and take him to England. This itself was unusual treatment of a slave, and while this was going on, his benefactors taught him English. With this new language, he was able to convince local men to buy him his freedom and pay off his debts. A typical slave would never be someone’s charity, but Ayuba Suleiman (Job Solomon) was lucky enough to get out of the situation he was forced

The Honorable Messenger Elijah Muhammad, in his book the Theology of time stated, “This represents Ezekiel’s Wheel,” “They actually have it up there; the devil knows it’s up there, this is why he continues to go up there.” “Trying to locate it from the moon and watch for this plane, so he would be able to shoot a rocket at it.” The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, “Allah taught me that and showed me the plane and that the beings that fly the plane look like us.” “The Government has the drawings of it on their blackboard at the FBI headquarters.” The Honorable Messenger Elijah Muhammad also stated that the planes were like unto our brother and Prophet Jesus-you could not catch him and they could tune in to you and at any time get away.

Amir’s shame brought on by his marriage to honest Soraya was his poor treatment of his closest childhood friend, and later understood half brother, Hassan. Amir questions what would have happened “had he not as a child lied monstrously about Hassan” “which resulted in Hassan and Ali leaving the service of Baba” (Graves 1). These feelings of inadequacy arose when Amir overheard his father say “’I’d never believe he’s my son’” (Hosseini 23). Amir and Caleb both indirectly caused the death of their brothers because of their jealousy. Both believed the other sibling was loved more, when all actuality the only reason it seemed this way is because there was more in common between Adam and Aron and Baba and Hassan which led to a stronger bond but not greater love.

Many Islamic beliefs determined the nature of average Muslim citizens in the early Muslim empires.  The religion of Islam began with one faith-driven individual named Muhammad, who laid the foundation in which a large and expanding empire would be built on. In the beginning, Muhammad had gained only a few loyal followers, but once he had gained control of the prominent city of Mecca, thousands of converts were led to the monotheistic religion of Islam. After Muhammad’s death, his revelations

Even Ahmed becomes compliant as she finds her path to womanhood, further emphasizing that a person’s characteristics can be conformed. She says “…if I had been simply an ordinary girl. I believe I would not have been able to live and accept what my sisters and the other girls in this country have to endure. I don’t believe I am better than they, but I sense within me such determination, such rebellious strength, that I would probably have upset everything” (119). However, her actions speak differently from her words. As a developing woman, Ahmed, renamed Zahra, shows signs of meekness and submission, in contrast to her previous ruthlessness, to the circus owner and her son. “Zahra had given up the use of speech. She wept, and the tears flowed down her face…” (110). Zahra, once domineering, is now compliant. Ahmed alters her personality because she, as well as the Islamic society, associates womanhood with obedience.

As a religion, Islam is based on the teachings of Muhammad, embodying a sound belief in one God (Allah). Islam is an Arabic word meaning submission, surrender, and obedience (Maududi, 1). It also stands for peace. Its followers are known as Muslims or Moslems. Islam emerged in Arabia, specifically in the city of Mecca, in the seventh century C.E. (Matthews, 386). With the evolution of Islam in Mecca, Mecca is known as the center of Islam. Islam is the youngest of the major world religions with the exception of Sikhism, which is a derivative of Hindu and Muslim beliefs that appeared in India. Islam is a universal religion of monotheism. The goal of Islam is to

On the surface Muhammad is usually considered to be a prophet and messenger of God, but when looking closer we can see that He played many more roles in His life time including one of a Statesman.
