ABOUT  AL-ISLAM
Text Box: MUHAMMED THE PROPHET Muhammed The Prophet was born in Mecca, Arabia, April 570 A.D. Fifty years later, ten years after receiving the first revelation from Allah, upon making the Hijrah (migration) to Madina marked the beginning of the Islamic calendar. He was born of Abdullah, the son of Abdul Muttalib and Aminah the daughter of Wahb Ibn Abd Manaf Ibn Zuhrah. His father died seven months before he was born, and his mother when he was six years old. He was raised by his grand-father Abdul Muttalib until he passed shortly thereafter, then his uncle Abu Talib became his guardian. Muhammed The Prophet was a person of a good heart, impeccable human character, and an excellent example that became chosen by Allah to be emulated by humanity. He was sincere, truthful, honest, rational, and upright that earned him the nickname of El-Amin (the trustworthy) by his community of peers. He lived amongst and during the ignorant days of Arabia, and showed a genuine concern for an alcoholic, prostitution, gambling, immoral, troubled and misguided people. It was the Cave of Hira (mount of light) that was his place of refuge and contemplation that he received the first revelation from Allah that introduced his life as the Messeger of Allah for all of humanity. Muhammed is a flesh and blood human being. He is not an angel nor does he share in the divinity of Creator. Unlike other prophets of scriptures, his history is documented from his birth to his death. He was a humble man who never lost compassion for the common man, though he became the leader, statesman, general, judge, businessman, law-giver, etc. He could easily be found sweeping the floor or other house chores for his wife. It was Prophet Muhammed that restored moral, intellectual, freedom, dignity, and equality to women. It was Prophet Muhammed that maintained his original innocent nature, upon which all of creation is patterned, that he would disallow the burning of trees and the mistreatment of animals, giving all created things and creatures its rights just as he promoted human rights. Briefly, we can say the Muhammed The Prophet is an exemplary life for all worlds. More study has to be given to the life of Muhammed The Prophet, G-d’s Prayers and Peace be upon him. AL-ISLAM Al-Islam is the proper name for the religion that is based upon the same essential pattern as man and the creation. Though is consists of actions based with explicit inspiring principles and beliefs, the name Al-Islam receives its name linguistically from the root word meaning peace. Man evolved gradually in his religious consciousness over the ages. It is with Al-Islam that sincere conclusion have come to not only advance mankind but to also alleviate and ease the burdened life of many divine and religious misconceptions developed though centuries of human experiences. Al-Islam is not a religion of miracles but it is designed to appeal to the intellect. It is not just a religion of faith but it encourages the pursuit of knowledge with rational thinking and patience to reach logical and scientific conclusions. The magnificent light that shines from the lamp of Al-Islam has had its influence on the modern world. We can find the fingerprints of Al-Islam on the great historical advancements of the East, Middle East and today’s Western societies. Al-Islam had great impact in the many fields of modern day science and technology. Al-Islam is a universal religion for reforming the whole world, yet, it is not to be forced on anyone, nor does it allow any one people to impose or change what is found in the excellent cultures of another. Categorically, Al-Islam is Freedom, Justice and Equality. The spiritual life that is formed from Al-Islam touches every aspect of our life, whether its education, social, business, political, etc. It has in it the law that is congruent with the natural life that is designed to assist ever individual, community, or nation in its daily activities of all stations of life. G-d says in the Qur’an that was revealed to Muhammed The Prophet: “This day I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favor upon you, and have preferred for you Al-Islam as your Religion.”
