You should know this man!

{ First Lesson }


Who is Muhammad?

Muslims believe that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the final Prophet in a long chain of Prophets sent to call the people to the obedience and worship of God alone (‘Allah’ in Arabic). Some of these Prophets include Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph,Moses, David, Solomon and Jesus (peace be upon them all).

Just as Moses (peace be upon him) was sent with the Torah (the original uncorrupted revelation sent to Moses) and Jesus (peace be upon him) with the Gospel (the original, uncorrupted revelation - not the present-day versions), Muslims believe that Muhammad (peace be upon him) was sent with the Qur’an to demonstrate how its teachings should be applied.

The Prophet’s (peace be upon him) wife, ‘A’isha, was once asked to describe the Prophet (peace be upon him), and she replied that he was ‘the Qur’an walking’, meaning he meticulously implemented the noble teachings of the Qur’an into his daily life. We will demonstrate how he translated these noble teachings into noble actions.



“Indeed in the Messenger of Allah you have an excellent example to follow for whoever hopes in Allah and the Last Day and remembers Allah much.”

Qur’an 33:21

{ Second Lesson }

Mission of Mercy .
As well as calling people to pray, fast and give charity, the Prophet (peace be upon him) taught that one’s faith in God should also affect one’s treatment of others.
He said:

“The best of you are they who have the best character”.

Many sayings of the Prophet (peace be upon him) emphasise the relationship between belief and action,for example:“Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day,should not hurt his neighbour,and whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, should serve his guest generously,and whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day,should speak what is good or keep quiet”.
The final Messenger (Peace be upon him) taught humans to show mercy and to respect each other:
“He who does not show mercy to others, will not be shown mercy”.
In another narration, some people requested the Prophet (peace be upon him) to invoke God to punish the disbelievers but he replied:

“I have not been sent as one to curse but as a mercy”.

“And We (God) have not sent you (Muhammad) except as a mercy for mankind”.
Qur’an 21:107

Third Lesson

Forgiveness .

The Prophet(peace be upon him) was the most forgiving of all people and the kindest. If someone abused him, he would forgive him, and the harsher a person was, the more patient he would become. He was extremely lenient and forgiving, especially when he had the upper hand and the power to retaliate.

Muhammad (peace be upon him) was all for forgiveness and no amount of crime or aggression against him was too great to be forgiven by him. He was the best example of forgiveness and kindness, as mentioned in the following verse of the Qur’an:

“Keep to forgiveness (O Muhammad), and enjoin kindness, and turn away from the ignorant”.

Al-Qur’an 7:199

“Let them forgive and overlook: do you not wish that Allah should forgive you? For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”

Qur’an 24:22

{ Forth Lesson}


Equality .

In the following sayings of the Prophet (peace be upon him), he taught that all humans are equal in the sight of God:

“All humanity is from Adam and Adam is from clay. There is no superiority for an Arab over a non-Arab, nor for a black over a white; except through piety.”

“God does not judge you according to your appearance and your wealth, but He looks at your hearts and looks into your deeds.”

It is related that once a companion of the Prophet(peace be upon him) called another companion in an offensive way, “Son of a black woman!” The Prophet (peace be upon him), became angry and replied, “Do you condemn him because of the blackness of his mother? You still have within you traces of ignorance from the pre-Islamic period.”

“Indeed the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you.”

Qur'an 49:13
