Adam Prophet (Pbuh)

OverviewThe story of Adam will be covered in the following chapters: Before the creation of Adam: Angels and Jinn Creation of Adam Satan (Iblis) Adam and Eve in Heaven Out of Heaven Adam on Earth & story of Abil and Cain Before the creation of Adam: Angels and Jinn.Before going into Adam's life details, it is important to know who was created before him. Allah created angels, obedient creatures who supplicate and pray Him and obey His will. He also created the Jinn who, unlike human beings, are made of fire. Also, they lack reason and intelligence and act like children.

According to 'Abdullah Ibn 'Umar, the jinn had existed for about two thousand years before Adam and had shed blood. As a result, Allah sent on them an army of angels that drove them out to the depths of the seas. Most of the jinn committed a lot of sins and disobeyed Allah. Satan (also known as Iblis) however was the only jinn who never disobeyed his God. And, as a reward, God raised him to Heaven to live with the angels.

Creation of Adam Allah the Almighty revealed: ' "Behold, your Lord said to the angels: "I will create a vicegerent on earth." They said: "Will You place therein one who will make mischief therein and shed blood? - while we do celebrate Your praises and glorify Your holy (name)?" He (Allah) said: "I know that which you do not know." "Angels then concealed to each other that, even if Allah creates a new being, they will still be better than him by being more knowledgeable and more generous. Allah knew what angels have said and not revealed to him. Then, Allah the Exalted said: "And He taught Adam the nature of all things." Surah 2:31After Adam had learned from his God the names of all things, along with their properties and uses, ' "then He (Allah) placed them (the things) before the angels, and said: "Tell Me the names of these if you are truthful." ' Surah 2:31. The angels admitted their incapacity and said: ' "Glory to You, we have no knowledge except what You have taught us. Verily, it is You, The All-Knower, The All-Wise. " ' Surah 2:32

Allah Almighty then turned to Adam: ' "O Adam! Tell them their natures" When he had told them, Allah said: "Did I not tell you that I know the secrets (Ghaib) of heaven and the earth, and I know what you reveal and what you conceal?" ' Surah 2: 33 Allah proved once again that he knows the secrets including hidden talks of angels.

Before going further into Adam's life, let's discuss his origin. Allah Almighty recounted his creation in the following verses: 'Verily, the likeness of Jesus, in Allah's Sight is the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust, then (He) said to him: "Be!"- and he was.' Surah 3: 59Allah said to the angels: ' "Truly, I am going to create man from clay. So when I have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed into him of MY spirit, you fall down obeisance to him." ' Surah 38: 71-72Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) declared: "Allah created Adam from a handful of dust taken from different lands, so the children of Adam have been created according to the composition of the land. Therefore, from mankind we have white, red, black and yellow ones; we have good and evil, ease and sorrow, and what comes in between them." Sahih Al-BukhariAllah shaped Adam into a human being, but he remained a figure of clay for forty years. It was narrated that the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said that he was 60 meters long. The angels went past him. They were seized with fear by what they saw, and Iblis felt this fear most. After all, angels were made of a powerful substance which is light; the Jinn were made of fire, also known as a powerful and dangerous. However, Adam is made of a weak substance, which is dust. Iblis was aware of that but was afraid of him. He used to pass by the figure of Adam, going inside and out of it, buffeting it, which would make a sound like pottery. Allah told us: 'He created man (Adam) from sounding clay like the clay of pottery.' Surah 55: 14Abu Hurairah reported that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: "

Allah created Adam from dust after He mixed the clay and left him for some time until it became sticky mud, after which Allah shaped him. After that Allah left him till it became like potter's clay. Iblis used to go past him saying: 'You have been created for a great purpose.' After that Allah breathed His spirit into him. The first thing into which the spirit passed was his eye and then his nose. He sneezed. Allah said: 'May your Lord have mercy upon you, O Adam! Go to those angels and see what they would say.' So Adam went and greeted them. They replied saying: 'Peace be upon you and the mercy and blessings of Allah.' Allah said: 'O Adam! This is your greeting and that of your offspring." Sahih Al-BukhariWhen Allah was about to breath into Adam from His soul, He asked the angels: "When I breathe My spirit into him prostrate before him" Allah breathed His spirit into Adam and when it reached his head Adam sneezed. The angels said: "Say all praise belongs to Allah." Adam repeated: "All praise belongs to Allah." Allah said to him: "Your Lord has granted you mercy." When the spirit reached his eyes, Adam looked at the fruits of Paradise. When it reached his abdomen Adam felt an appetite for food. He jumped hurriedly before the spirit could reach his legs in order to reach the fruits of Paradise. Allah then declared: 'Man is created of haste.' Surah 21:37. After that, the angels followed their Lord's orders: 'The angels prostrated themselves, all of them together. Except Iblis - he refused to be among the prostrators.' Surah 15: 31-32

Satan (Iblis) Almighty Allah recounted the story of Iblis's refusal to prostrate before Adam: 'And (remember) when your Lord said to the angels: "I am going to create a man (Adam) from sounding clay of altered black smooth mud. So, when I have fashioned him completely and breathed into him (Adam) the soul which I created for him, then fall (you) down prostrating yourselves unto him" So, the angels prostrated themselves, all of them together. Except Iblis, - he refused to be among the prostrators. (Allah) said: "O Iblis! What is your reason for not being among the prostrators?" (Iblis) said: "I am not the one to prostrate myself to a human being, whom You created from sounding clay of altered black smooth mud." (Allah) said: "Then, get out from here, for verily, you are Rajim (an outcast or a cursed one). And verily, the curse shall be upon you till the Day of Recompense (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)." ' Surah 15: 28-35Satan's arrogance and disbelief was mentioned several times in the Quran:' "Shall I prostrate to one whom You created from clay?" (Iblis) said: "See? This one whom You have honored above me, if You give me respite (keep me alive) to the Day of Resurrection, I will surely seize and mislead his offspring (by sending them astray) all but a few!" ' Surah 17: 62'(Remember) when your Lord said to the angels: "Truly, I am going to create man from clay. So when I have fashioned him and breathed into him (his) soul created by Me, then you fall down prostrate to him." So the angels prostrated themselves, all of them: except Iblis, he was proud and was one of the disbelievers.

(Allah) said: "O Iblis! What prevents you from prostrating yourself to one whom I have created with Both My Hands. Are you too proud (to fall prostrate to Adam) or are you one of the high exalted?" (Iblis) said: "I am better than he, You created me from fire, and You created him from clay." (Allah) said: "Then get you from here, for verily, you are outcast. And verily!, My Curse is on you till the Day of Recompense." (Iblis) said: "My Lord! Give me then respite till the Day the (dead) are resurrected." Allah said. "Verily! You are of those allowed respite - till the Day of the time appointed." Iblis said: "By Your Might, then I will surely mislead them all, - except Your chosen slaves amongst them (faithful, obedient, true believers of Islamic Monotheism)." ' Surah 38: 75-85(Allah) said: ' "The truth is, and the truth I say, - that I will fill Hell with you (Iblis) and those of them (mankind) that follow you, together. " ' Surah 38: 84-85

Adam and Eve in HeavenThe angels realized that Adam was the creature who knew what they did not know and that his capacity to learn was his noblest quality. His knowledge included knowledge of the Creator which we call Faith or Islam, as well as the knowledge he would need to inhabit and master the earth. Muhammad Ibn Ishaaq and Ibn 'Abbas related that Eve was created from the shortest left rib of Adam while he was sleeping. And after a while, she was clothed with flesh.

That is why Allah the Exalted said: «O Mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person (Adam) and from him (Adam) He created his wife (Eve), and from them both He created many men and women.» Surah 4: 1Allah also said: «It is He Who has created you from a single person (Adam), and (then) He created from him his wife (Eve), in order that he might enjoy the pleasure of living with her.» Surah 7: 189 Ibn 'Abbas and a group of the companions of the Prophet (PBUH) narrated that when Iblis was sent out of Paradise and Adam was accommodated therein, Adam was alone in Paradise and did not have a partner from whom he could get tranquility. He slept for some time and when he woke up, he saw a woman whom Allah had created from his ribs. So he asked her: "Who are you?" She replied: "A woman." He asked: "Why have you been created?" She replied: "So that you could find tranquility in me." The angels, trying to find out the extent of his knowledge, asked him: "What is her name, O Adam?" He replied: "Eve." They asked: "Why was she so named?" He replied: "Because she was created from something living."

Allah commanded Adam to dwell in Paradise: «"O Adam! Dwell you and your wife in the Paradise and eat both of you freely with pleasure and delight of things therein as wherever you will, but come not near this tree or you both will be of the Zalimeen (wrong-doers)."» Surah 2:35 Out of Heaven"And (remember) when We said to the angels "Prostrate yourselves to Adam." They prostrated (all) except Iblis, who refused. Then We said: "O Adam! Verily, this is an enemy to you and to your wife. So let him not get you both out of Paradise, so that you be distressed in misery. Verily, you have (a promise from Us) that you will never be hungry therein nor naked. And you (will) suffer not from thirst therein nor from the sun's heat."

Adam and Eve were admitted to Paradise and there they lived the dream of all human beings. Allah permitted them to approach and enjoy everything except one tree, that might have been the Tree of Pain or the Tree of Knowledge. Allah forbade them before they were given abode in Paradise: «"But come not near this tree or you both will be of the Zalimeen (wrong-doers). "» Surah 2: 35Satan whispered to them: «"Your Lord did not forbid you this tree save you should become angels or become of the immortals." And he (Satan) swore by Allah to them both (saying): "Verily, lam one of the sincere well-wishers for you both.".So he [Satan] misled them with deception.» Surah 7: 20-22. Allah also said: ' Thus did Adam disobey his Lord, so he went astray. ' Surah 20: 121Eve was the first one who ate from that tree and tempted Adam to do the same. After they ate from it, the clothes they were wearing were gone, so they started to cutting tree leaves with which to cover themselves. Adam started to run while saying "forgiveness! Forgivenes!". So Allah asked: "Are you running away from Me?" Adam replied: "No, my Lord, but I am shy of You."Allah the Almighty addressed him: ' "Did I not forbid you that tree and tell you: Verily, Satan is an open enemy unto you?" They said: "Our Lord! We have wronged ourselves. If You forgive us not, and bestow not upon us Your Mercy, we shall certainly be of the losers." (Allah) said: "Get down, one of you an enemy to the other (i.e., Adam, Eve, and Satan, etc.). On earth will be a dwelling place for you and an enjoyment, - for a time." He said: "Therein you shall live, and therein you shall die, and from it you shall be brought out (i.e. resurrected)." ' Surah 7: 22-25Adam unlike Satan knew he was guilty and asked God for forgiveness. That is why God accepted his repentance. However, he punished him and sent him to Earth.

Adam and Eve on Earth & story of Abil and CainAdam and Eve started a new life on Earth. They were able to live there and overcome the difficulties thanks to the knowledge given by Allah. They had to cultivate, construct and populate the Earth. They also witnessed the birth of 20 twins. The first and second sets of twins were Cain (Qabil) and his sister, and Abel (Habil) and his sister.Adam's kids grew up and then came the time for marriage. Allah revealed to Adam that it was forbidden for anyone to marry his twin and that Adam should marry each son to the twin sister of the other. So, Cain had to marry Abel's sister while Abel had to marry Cain's sister. Nevertheless, Cain was more attracted to his twin sister (who was more beautiful) and refused Allah's commands.Another even added Cain's rage against his brother was related to the sacrifice that each one had to offer to Allah. Abel's sacrifice (good sheeps) was accepted while Cain's (bad grain) was not. Satan took advantage of Cain's anger to whisper to him and tell him to kill his brother.Allah the Almighty revealed: 'And (O Muhammad) recite to them (the Jews) the story of the two sons of Adam (Abel and Cain) in truth; when each offered a sacrifice (to Allah), it was accepted from the one but not from the other. The latter said to the former: "I will surely kill you."The former said: 'Verily, Allah accepts only from those who are Al-Muttaqeen (the pious). If you do stretch your hand against me to kill me, I shall never stretch my hand against you to kill you, for I fear Allah; the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn, and all that exists).

Verily I intend to let you draw my sin on yourself as well as yours, then you will be one of the dwellers of the Fire, and that is the recompense of the Zalimeen (polytheists, and wrong-doers).So the Nafs (self) of the other (latter one) encouraged him and made fair-seeming to him the murder of his brother; he murdered him and became one of the losers. Then Allah sent a crow who scratched the ground to show him to hide the dead body of his brother. He (the murderer) said: 'Woe to me! Am I not even able to be as this crow and to hide the dead body of my brother?" Then he became one of those who regretted.' Surah 5: 27-31When Abel had not appeared for some time, Adam began to search for him but found no trace of his beloved son. He asked Cain about Abel's whereabouts. Cain insolently replied that he was not his brother's keeper nor his protector.

From these words his father understood that Abel was dead and Adam was filled with grief.Meanwhile, Cain did not know what to do with his brother's corpse. He carried it on his back wandering from place to place, trying to hide it. His anger had now subsided, and his conscience was saddled with guilt. He was tiring under the burden of the corpse which had started to have a stench. As a mercy, and to show that dignity could be retained even in death, Allah sent two ravens that began fighting, causing the death of one. The victorious bird used its beak and claws to dig a hole in the ground, rolled its victim into it and covered it with sand.

Some scholars reported that Adam lived for 1000 years and got the chance to see many of his grand children.

Who obeys the Prophet (Saas) is due to Allah

Allah all positions with obeying the prophets has been sent. These messengers were blessed men that had complied with commands of Allah, communication its revelations, represented the most pleasant human model to Allah through their words and actions, ultimately by their whole way of life. Allah revealed in the Koran that those who abide by their messengers will be saved. For that reason, obedience to the Prophet (saas) is an obligation of utmost importance. Allah reveals the importance of obedience in the Qur'an:

We have not sent any Messenger except to be obeyed by permission of Allah. If only when they themselves aggrieved had reached you the forgiveness of frequent Allah and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them would have found Alá never returned, most merciful. (Surat an-Nisa': 64)

Who obeys Allah and the Messenger will be with those whom Alá has blessed: firm affirmers of truth, the prophets, the martyrs and righteous. Do what company excellent they are!? (Surat an-Nisa': 69)

In several verses of the Qur'an, Alá says that those who obey his messengers are indeed obeying Allah. Those who rebel against these messengers, on the other hand, rebelling against Alá. Some of these verses are:

Who obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allah. If someone gets away, do not send you them as his guardian. (Surat an-Nisa': 80)

Those who undertake their loyalty pledge of loyalty to Allah. Alá hand is in your hands. Who breaks his promise only breaks against himself. But as for him who fulfills the contract made with Alá, we will pay a huge reward. (Surat al - Fath: 10)

The Prophet (saas) has also emphasized the importance of obedience in the Hadith:
"Who I obey obey Allah and who disobeys me disobeys Allaah and me who obeys the rule name, obey, and who disobeys him disobeys me." (Sahih Bukhari, book 9, number 251)

Alá described in the Qur'an, the Prophet (saas) as protector and guide for the faithful. The Muslims, therefore, he referred to him in all matters and sought his permission and his opinion prior to participating in anything. On topics they were unable to agree among themselves, although even on issues they were able to resolve by themselves, or when they got news relating to safety, health or the economy of the community of the faithful, immediately took the Prophet (saas) and complied with the solution recommended or safe and reliable advice.

It's a most important aspect of morality, commanded by Allah in the Qur'an. For example, in a verse, sorts all the news will be sent to the Prophet (saas) or those who represent. The verse says:

When arrive them the news of any matter spread over whether this is reassuring or disturbing nature. If only mentioned the Messenger and commands between them, those among them able to discern the truth about would have had adequate knowledge of the same. If not for the favor of Allah and his mercy all but a very few of you would have followed Satan. (Surat an-Nisa': 83)

Of course, is a beneficial and wise command. On the one hand, each order and rule of the Prophet (saas) is guaranteed by Allah. In addition, the Prophet (saas) was the most wise and intelligent Member of the community of the faithful. Generally speaking, most look to consult the most intelligent person and who is better due to his conscience, i.e. the person who rely more on any matter, in order to establish a decision.

As well as all these characteristics of the Prophet (saas), other wisdom in all the news are gathered in a single person it is that this will provide better and smarter response because all aspects of the event will be known by a single person. In another verse, Alá sends the faithful so that the Prophet (saas) his judge in any disagreement between them. It is a command of Allah to all those disagreements be taken at the same time the Prophet (saas), and therefore the course of connection more action in terms of reason, morality and conscience. Also most importantly obey the rules established by the Prophet (saas), with all my heart has and unreservedly. Even if his decision is in conflict with the interests of an individual, true believers will not feel any doubt at all and would immediately obey the command of the Prophet (saas). Allah describes this important aspect of obedience in the Qur'an:

No, by the Lord, are not believers make up his judge in conflicts that break out between them and then find no resistance within themselves to decide and be completely. (Surat an-Nisa': 65)

Some people hypocrites or people whose faith is weak, have been able to realise that the decisions of the Prophet (saas) are insured by Allah and objected to it informing him of each situation, causing dissension. Allah describes the condition of these people in the Qur'an:

Among them are some insulting the Prophet, saying that he is only an ear [only a listener]. Say, "an ear of good for it, believe in Alá and believing in the believers and a mercy for those among you who believe". As for those who insult the Messenger of Allah, they will have a painful punishment. (Surat at-Tawba: 61)

Given that these people not be has been able to capture the essence of faith and they could not appreciate the merit of the Prophet (saas), adopted an approach wrong in connection with informing you about each issue. The ignorant are unable to use what they know for charity, for the good and the security of mankind. They use it to gossip and try to disseminate dissent, to convert to the people one against the other and plot against them. The Prophet (saas), however, used the information that was brought to him for peace, security and the health of the Muslims and other groups under its protection, to avoid possible dangers and thwart plots against believers.

Identify those whose faith was weak, took measures to strengthen that faith and prevented any thing which could have weakened the faithful or damaged morale. Brought to measures that bring good and lead to desirable outcomes. For this reason, Alá refers to him as "an ear of the good" in a verse. The Prophet (saas) words, decisions and measures have led to positive for believers, and good results as well as humanity.

Pascua Zach Johnson Masters milagro y el profeta Zacarías

The Old Testament is the sacred scripture of Christianity, Islam and Judaism. Rabbi Jesus Christ is the expected Messiah of Christendom and Islam. (Qur'an 3: 40-43). Yesterday, April 08, 2007, Easter 2007, Pope Benedict XVI said, "brothers and sisters in the faith, who are listening to me from anywhere in the world!" Christ is risen and is alive among us. "Is he who is the hope of a future better."

After winning the Masters yesterday said Zach Johnson, "my Christian faith is very important to me." It was very special to win the Masters golf tournament on Easter Sunday. I am very blessed. I would like to give thanks to God. "I felt Jesus Christ with me at the golf course every step of the way". By caresses putts of Zach down the stretch Jesus has certainly given to Zach Johnson a brighter future. Zach Johnson can now choose the menu of the champions dinner next year. Imagine to be able to tell Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer what to eat in Augusta.

Zach Johnson is named after the biblical Prophet of Christianity, Islam and Judaism prophet Zechariah son of Berechiah gold son of gone. The last time was hot putter Zach Johnson was won when the last three events in 2001 NGA Hooters Tour. The name of the other 7 great champions who played on the NGA Hooters Tour. You need to be a biblical Prophet to bet that Zach Johnson would win the Masters yesterday in 1000 to 1, at the Caesar's Palace. Zach Johnson has come a long way since the Nationwide Tour 2003 Rheem Classic. Chris Couch won the 2005 Rheem classic.

Prophecy is the Mount Sinai Dios aka Jesucristo aka Dios father aka the Holy aka Elohim spirit aka Yehovah aka Alá says the future to a human being. The question is "how God knows the future if it has not happened yet?" Miguel Ángel painted the prophet Zechariah in the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, where Pope Benedict XVI Celebrates Easter this week. The Hebrew prophet Zechariah lived in 520 BC during the reign of the King Darius I of Persia (Iran), 16 years after the Jewish people began to return to Israel after their exile in Babylon (Iraq).

The address of the NGA Hooters Tour is 1211 Hwy 17 N North Myrtle Beach South Carolina 29582. 2527 years ago the prophet Zechariah said, "in the night that saw a man on a red horse!" "He was standing among the trees of Myrtle in the glen." (Zech. 1: 8). The rider was with 2 men, one on a white horse and another on a horse sorrel. These were the men that God had sent to patrol the land and the land was at peace. Men and ladies golf excursions are where people from around the world play peacefully together by the same rules.

Zach Johnson is a short hitter but a spectacular putter. Placed 16 times the pair of Augusta's 5 and walked away with 11 birdies. The prophet Zechariah said, "by it cannot, nor by power, but by my spirit, says Jehovah of armies". (Zech. 4: 6). "They looked up and saw a man with a line of action in his hand". (Zech. 2: 1). "I see a lampstand all of gold with a bowl on top of it." (Zech. 4: 2).

After his return, Zach Johnson embraced and kissed his wife holding his son baby Will. The prophet Zechariah said, "then looked up and saw two women from forward." The wind was in their wings; "they had wings like the wings of a stork and lifted up to the basket between the heaven and the Earth." (Zech. 5: 9).

The most precious Prize in golf is the green jacket of the masters. Yesterday defense champion Phil Mickelson anointed and coated to Zach Johnson in his new green jacket in Butler cabin. The prophet Zechariah said, "the high priest Joshua (Hebrew name of Jesus was Joshua) wore dirty clothes as it was before the Angel." The angel said to those who were standing in front of him, 'Remove their dirty clothes'. And he said, ' I have taken their guilt and Sin away from it and you will be dressed in clothes covered...To put a turban on his head clean and him they dressed in clothes covered. And the Angel of the Lord was standing. (Zech. 3: 4-5). After his Masters victory said Zach Johnson, "I felt Jesus Christ with me at the golf course every step of the way".

Exemplary Justice of the Prophet (Saas)

In the Qur'an ' an, Allah commands believers to "Be upholders of justice, bearing witness for Allaah alone, even against yourselves or your parents and relatives." Whether they are rich or poor, Allah is well able to look after them. "Do not follow your own desires and deviate from the truth..." (Surat an-Nisa': 135). With the rules I have imposed on Muslims, his just and tolerant attitude towards those of other religions, languages, races and tribes, and his way of not discriminating between rich and poor, but treating everybody equally, Allaah's Messenger (saas) is a great example to all of mankind.

Allaah says this to His Prophet (saas) in one see:

They are people who listen to lies and consumes ill-gotten gains. If they come to you, you can either judge between them or turn away from them. If you turn away from them, they cannot harm you in any way. But if you do judge, judge between them justly. Allah loves the just. (Surat al - Ma'ida: 42)

The Prophet (saas) abided by Allah's commands, even with such difficult people, and never made any concessions in his implementation of justice. I became an example for all times with the words, "My Lord has commanded justice..." (Surat al - A'raf: 29).

A number of incidents testify to the Prophet (saas)'s justice. I have lived in to place where people of different religions, languages, races and tribes all co-existed. It was very difficult for those societies to live together in peace and security, and to check those who sought to spread dissension. One group could grow aggressive towards and even attack another over the slightest word or action. Yet, the justice of the Prophet (saas) was a source of peace and security for those other communities, just as much as it was for Muslims. During the time of the Prophet (saas), Christians, Jews and pagans were all treated equally. The Prophet (saas) abided by the see "There is no compulsion where the religion is concerned..." (Surat al - Baqara: 256), explaining the true religion to everyone, but leaving them free to make up their own minds.

In another be, Allaah revealed to the Prophet (saas) the kind of justice and conciliation and I needed to adopt towards those of other religions:

So call and go straight as you have been ordered to. Do not follow their whims and desires but say, "I believe in a Book sent down by Allah and I am ordered to be just between you." Allah is our Lord and your Lord. We have our actions and you have your actions. There is no debate between us and you. Allah will gather us all together. "He is our final destination." (Surat ash-Shura: 15)

This noble attitude of the Prophet (saas), being in total harmony with the morality of the Qur'an ' an, should be taken as an example of how members of different religions should be treated today.

The Prophet (saas)'s justice brought about understanding between people of different races. In many of his addresses, even in his final sermon, the Prophet (saas) stated that superiority lay not in race but in godliness as Allah states in the see:

Mankind! We created you from a male and female, and made you into peoples and tribes so that you might come to know each other. The noblest among you in Allah's sight is the one with the most taqwa [proprieties, fear of Allah]. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware. (Surat al - Hujurat: 13)

Two hadiths report the Prophet (saas) as saying:

"You are sons of Adam, and Adam came from dust." "Let the people cease to boast about their ancestors."(Sunan Abu Dawood, Book 41, Number 5097)

"These genealogies of yours are not a reason to revile anyone." You are all children of Adam. "No one has any superiority over another except in religion and taqwa (godliness)."158/4 (Ahmad)

During his final sermon, the Prophet (saas) called on Muslims in these terms:
"There is no superiority for an Arab over a non-Arab and non-Arab over an Arab for;" nor for white over the black nor for the black over the white except in piety. "Verily the noblest among you is I who is the most pious." (Prophet Muhammad's Last Sermon)

The agreement made with the Christians of Najran in the south of the Arabian Peninsula was another fine example of the justice of the Prophet (saas). One of the articles in the agreement reads:

"The lives of the people of Najran and its surrounding area, their religion, their land, property, cattle and those of them who are present or absent, their messengers and their places of worship are under the protection of Allaah and guardianship of His Prophet." (The Pact of Najran, Article 6)

The Compact of Medina, signed by the Muslim immigrants from Mecca, the indigenous Muslims of Medina and the Jews of Medina is another important example of justice. As a result of this constitution, which established justice between communities with differing beliefs and community the protection of their various interests, long years of enmity were brought to an end. One of the most outstanding features of the treaty is the freedom of belief established it. The relevant article reads:

"The Jews of Banu ' Awf are one nation with the Muslims;" the Jews have their religion and the Muslims have theirs... "(The_Constitution_of_Madina)"

Article 16 of the treaty reads: "The Jew who follows us is surely entitled to our support and the same equal rights as any one of us." "He shall not be wronged nor his enemy be assisted."(The Constitution of Madina) The Prophet (saas)'s companions remained true to that article in the treaty, even after his death, and even practiced it with regard to Berbers, Buddhists, Brahmans and people of other beliefs.

One of the main reasons why the golden age of Islam was one of peace and security was the Prophet (saas)'s attitude, itself just a reflection of Qur'an ' madrassahs morality.

The justice of the Prophet (saas) also awoke feelings of confidence in non-Muslims, and many, including polytheists, asked to be taken under his protection. Allaah revealed the following request from the polytheists in the Qur'an ' an, and also told the Prophet (saas) of the attitude I should adopt towards such people:

If any of the idolators ask you for protection, give them protection until they have heard the words of Allaah. Then convey them to to place where they are safe. That is because they are a people who do not know. How could any of the idolators possibly have a treaty with Allah and His Messenger with, except for those you made a treaty with at the Masjid al - Haram? As long as they are straight with you, be straight with them. Allah loves those who do their duty. (Surat at-Tawba: 6-7)

In our day, the only solution to the fighting and conflict going on all over the world to adopt the morality of the Qur'an is'an, and, like the Prophet (saas), never to depart from the path of justice, making no distinction between different religions, languages, races or.

My point of view of the Prophet Muhammad Pt 1

Who is the man who has over a billion followers in the world today? Who is the great man who was ranked #1 in a list, penned by a Christian, of the 100 most influential persons in history? Again who is the man who raised his contemporaries from a life of sin and vice 1400 years ago? The man is none other than Muhammad ibn Abdullah(Peace be upon him) the prophet of Islam.

All Muslims, regardless to sect, believe in this man named Muhammad and the book he presented to us, from the Lord of the worlds. If we accept this book, called in Arabic the Qur'an, as being revealed from Almighty God ALLAH then we must re-view deeper the great man through whom the Qur'an was revealed. We cannot accept the book(Quran) and deny the man through whom the book was revealed. What was the heart and character of such a man that ALLAH would let his precious word come through? The same must be done with any servant of ALLAH, but as Muslims we believe that Muhammad(PBUH) is the last of ALLAH's prophets and the Holy Qur'an the last revealed book to this world. So, we as Muslims, must look deeper into the inner sanctuary of Muhammad and discover deeper understanding of not only the book(Qur'an) but of the man.

The Man

A few days after the death of the Prophet some men came to his wife Aiisha bint Abu Bakr and inquired about Muhammad. They put questions to his wife concerning his character and other aspects of his life, and she replied have you ever read the Qur'an? The men replied in the affirmative, then she replied: "Muhammad was the living embodiment of the Qur'an." What a description of this Prophet of ALLAH from one who was most privy to his private character and morals. What his wife was saying is that all the good teachings of the Holy Qur'an were reflected in the man named Muhammad; from the Quran's teachings on beneficence and mercy, to love, forgiveness and brotherhood, and even warfare when it is acted in self-defense, Muhammad excelled in all of these Quranic teachings.

The Holy Qur'an our most accurate portrait of Muhammad says of him:

"Certainly You have in The Messenger of ALLAH an excellent exemplar for him who hopes in ALLAH and the latter day, and remembers ALLAH much."(33:21)

Also

"By the inkstand and the pen and that which they write! By the grace of thy Lord thou art not mad. And surely thine is a reward never to be cut off. And surely thou hast sublime morals. So thou wilt see, and they(too) will see."(68:1-5)

Some critics of Islam and the Prophet of Islam have claimed that Muhammad didn't bring any special "miracles" like we read of the prophets of old in the Bible. Prophet Muhammad claimed that his "one" and only "miracle" was The Holy Qur'an and the work of reformation he produced in his countrymen and women. Many have written that what Muhammad produced in Arabia, 1400 years ago, with his Holy Qur'an was nothing short of a miracle itself. The country of Arabia was renowned for its sin and evil. The abuse against women and girls, the drinking orgies, warfare, materialism also filthy and foolish song and dance is well known.

Islamic scholar Maulana Muhammad Ali speaks of the savage condition of Arabia prior to its "savior".

"At the time of his birth Arabia was steeped deep in the worst form of idolatry that has ever prevailed in any country. The Ka'ba itself was full of idols, and every household had, in addition, its own idols. Unhewn stones, trees and heaps of sand were also worshipped. In spite this vast and deep-rooted idolatry, the Arabs were, as Bosworth Smith remarks, materialistic. "Eat and drink is," as he says, "the epicurean tone of the majority of the poems that have come down to us." There was practically no faith in the life after death, no feeling of responsibility for one's actions. The Arabs, however, believed in demons, and diseases were attributed to the influence of evil spirits. "

"Ignorance prevailed among the high as well as the low, so much so that the noblest of men could boast of his ignorance. There was no moral code, and vice was rampant. The sexual relations were loose obscene poems and songs were recited in public assemblies There was no punishment for adultery, nor any moral sanction against it. Prostitution had nothing dishonourable about it, so that leading men could keep brothels. Women were "in the most degraded position, worse even than that in which they were under the laws of Manu in Hindustan." Woman was looked upon as a mere chattel. Instead of having any right to inheritance of property, her own person formed part of the inheritance, and the heir could dispose of her as he liked, even if he did not care to take her as a wife. There was no settled government, no law in the land, and might was practically right.

The Arabs belonged to one race and spoke one language, yet they were the most disunited people. Tribe made war on tribe, and family on family, on the most trivial excuse. The strong among them trampled upon the rights of the weak, and the weak could not get their wrongs redressed. The widow and the orphan were quite helpless and slaves were treated most cruelly."

"Amongst this people was born Muhammad."

In a short period of "twenty three" years Muhammad wiped away these evil practices. This reform by Muhammad was seen as a miracle, because all previous attempts at the reform of his land failed; the Christian failed, indigenous movements failed, Jewish teachers failed they all tried but nothing worked except "The Man and The book."

Muhammad's Sunnah(way)The word Sunnah is translated as meaning mode of life and specially the course of The Holy Prophets life. Another word Hadith meaning news is another source of knowledge of Prophet Muhammad and the God he represented, ALLAH.

Muhammad is reported to have said in his last speech to his followers,

I leave you two things, which if you follow you will never deviate, "The Qur'an and my Sunnah"

As I have pointed out earlier Muhammad was voted "The most successful of all religious personalities". Also his wife spoke of him as being a living Qur'an. Considering these facts it would be incumbent upon us to follow the way established by Muhammad ibn Abdullah. There has been a misunderstanding among Muslims, both common believers and scholars, concerning what is the true Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad. There has been in some quarters a tendency to attach more importance to the Sunnah than The Qur'an, while others reject the Sunnah all together. What was the source of Muhammad's teachings other than the Qur'an? The Qur'an says of itself that it is the "Best Hadith". I remember reading The Prophet once said: "Islam compels us to take the middle course in all things". If we adopt this advice we as Muslims will accept the Qur'an(First) and then naturally accept the man of God's explanation of the book.

When we say of ourselves that we are following Muhammad's Sunnah we must be careful to not make a superficial example of him, like having a beard as the prophet or dressing like the prophet. These things in and of themselves are not bad, but Muhammad didn't make a change in the world because of facial hair or his dress style. Muhammad's Sunnah to me is Belief in ALLAH, prayer, fasting, giving in charity, doing good to others, respecting women and living a clean life.

Muhammad's disciples

After twenty three years of his office as Prophet of ALLAH Muhammad's life came to an end like all other men of God who went before him. The Holy Qur'an reminds us that,

"Muhammad is but a messenger---messengers have already passed away before him. If then he dies or is killed, will you turn back upon your hills? And he who turns back upon his heels will do know harm at all to Allah. And Allah will reward the grateful."(3:143)

Many didn't want to believe that The Holy Prophet was dead. Some Muslims threatened to kill anyone who would say that Muhammad was dead. One of Muhammad's trusted friends and earliest converts, Abu Bakr, rose to the occasion to address the mourning crowd. His famous words were:

"All that worship Muhammad know that Muhammad is dead. But those that worship ALLAH know that ALLAH lives!"

What a soothing affect these few words had on the crowd. These simple words reminded the crowd that ALLAH is the ever living and is present.

The death of Muhammad ends one chapter in the Muslims history only to open another called "Khilafah Rashidah" or the "rightly guided companions." A great man is not only known by the wisdom that he imparts during his life, but also the wisdom that comes through his students or disciples. Four men stand out in this period after the death of Muhammad. These four men names were Abu Bakr, Umar ibn Khataab, Uthman and Ali ibn abu Talib. Much like the Disciples of Christ before these men had a duty to continue the message and work of Muhammad. These four men carried the message of Islam far into the world and helped continue the revolution started by their master-Muhammad ibn Abdullah(Peace and Blessing be upon him).

Mohammed - Prophet and Founder of Islam

Mohammed, the prophet and founder of Islam, was born into a polytheistic environment around 570 A.D.  He belonged to the clan of Hashim and was of the tribes of Quraysh, the group who controlled the Kaaba stone during this time.  Mohammed's father died some time before his birth and his mother died when he was still very young.  He was raised as an orphan among his relatives and practiced the polytheistic forms of worship known among his people.  While still a teenager, Mohammed became a camel driver and soon began traveling with caravans from Egypt to Syria.  At the age of 25, Mohammad came under the employment of a wealthy widow in Mecca named Khadijah.  Although she was 15 years older than him, they married and she bore him two sons and four daughters. 

It was during Mohammed's travel with the caravan that he came in contact with the representatives of the many different religions and cultures of that time.  He observed that many of them had several things in common:

· A belief in one God

· A dualistic belief in the fight between good and evil

· A scripture they believed to be the Word of God

· An eschatology teaching that the righteous would be rewarded and the evil punished

During the solitude of Mohammed's travels, he began to meditate in search of the one true God.  After approximately 15 years, he claimed to have had a vision in which the angel Gabriel told him that he was to be the prophet of Allah.  Mohammed was then instructed to proclaim this message that there is no God but Allah.  According to Thomas M. Starkes, in his book Today's World Religions, Mohammed received the exact words that were to later become the Quran, even though he could not read or write.  Acting as the prophet of Allah, Mohammed began to spread the message that he had been given, but it was not well received.  Mohammed was laughed at, and on one occasion, when he and his followers were praying to Allah, the residents of Mecca threw dirt on him and his followers.

In 619 A.D., Mohammed lost his wife in death.  In 620 A.D., he and some of his followers received a visit by men from the town of Yathrib.  This town was later renamed Medina, in honor of Mohammed.  The men from Yathrib were mostly Jews who believed that Mohammed could be the Messiah.  Their mission was to convince him to come to Yathrib and bring peace among its warring factions.  Initially Mohammed refused, but in 622 A.D., while wars had broken out in Mecca, he and his followers went to Yathrib to establish the peace as they had initially been requested to do.  Among Muslims, this trip to Yathrib became known as "the flight" or "Hijirah".

Islam grew in Yathrib (Medina) and by 629 Islam had grown into a major military and political force.  In 630, Mohammed entered Mecca with an army of 10,000 men.  He immediately took custody of the Kaaba and destroyed all relics, idols, and paintings that had become the object of worship among the people.  By 632, Muslims had near complete control of Arabia.  It was in that same year that Mohammed died.

Jesus Christ - The Noble Prophet Of Islam

Historically, it was the Jews who rejected Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) and accused him as the impostor messiah, that until now they still believe that the messiah prophesied in their scripture has still yet to come. On the other hand, modern day Christians (where the majority are Pauline Christians) consider him to be the "begotten son" of God and worship him as if he is one of the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth.

But the Islamic view of Jesus (peace be upon him) is based on what God has revealed to mankind when He said, "Truly the likeness of Jesus in God's sight is in the likeness of Adam, He created him of dust, then He said to him, "Be!" and he was. This is the truth from your Lord, so be not of those who doubt." So in God's view, the creation of Jesus no different from the creation of Adam (peace be upon them). When God wants to create something, He only says "Be!" and it is. God can create anything and anyway He pleases.

A good example we can consider is the size and the perfection of the universe which is difficult for the human mind to comprehend and yet God has revealed and differentiated it to us the nature of His two creations when He said, "Are you more difficult to create or is the heavens (above) that He (God) constructed? On high has He raised its canopy, and He hath given it order and perfection." God has further concluded when He said, "The creation of the heavens and the earth is indeed greater than the creation of mankind; yet most mankind know not."

Is having a "begotten son" befitting of God? The rejection of the very idea of God having a son is stated clearly with strong words from God Himself when He said, "The Most Gracious has betaken a son! Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous! As if the skies are about to burst, the earth to split asunder, and the mountains to fall down in utter ruin. That they attributed a son to the Most Gracious. For it is not consonant to the Majesty of the Most Gracious that He should beget a son. Not one of the beings in the heavens and the earth but must come to the Most Gracious as a slave."

God has further said, "Such is Jesus, son of Mary, it is a statement of truth, about which they doubt or dispute. It befits not to the Majesty of God that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him, when He decreed a thing, He only says to it "Be!" and it is." God has stated clearly who Jesus (peace be upon him) is when He said, "O people of the scripture, do not commit excesses in your religion or say about God except the truth. The messiah Jesus, son of Mary, was but a prophet of God and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul (created at a command) from Him so believe in God and His prophets. And do not say 'trinity', desist- it is better for you. Indeed God is one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is God as Disposer of affairs."

On the day of judgment, all the prophets and their respective followers of their times will be gathered before God and He will ask the prophets how they were received by their respective people and what they said to them. Among those who will be questioned by God is Jesus (peace be upon him), when God will ask him, "O Jesus, son of Mary did you say to the people, 'take me and my mother as deities besides God?' Jesus will answer before God, 'Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen. I said not to them except what You commanded me - to worship God my Lord and who is also their Lord. And I was a witness over them as long as I was among them; but when You took me up, You were the Observer over them, and You are over all things - Witness. If You should punish them, indeed they are Your slaves; but if You forgive them - indeed it is You who is Exalted in Might, the Wise."

The real mission of Jesus (peace be upon him) was that he was especially prepared by God to be sent to the Jews who had deviated from the teachings of the prophets sent to them by God. However, the majority of the Jews rejected Jesus' ministry. It is an unfortunate fact and event of history that not many are following the ' straight path ' to which people were called in by Jesus Christ, the Noble Prophet of Islam. To know more of what God has enjoined us to believe for our salvation, please study and read the Holy Quran, (God's Speech to Mankind).

Once Upon A Time: Prophet, Oversexed Psychopath, Mohammed of Islam Taught Veronique Circumcision No!

Once upon a time there was a man who was an oversexed psychopath and a manipulative control freak suffering from delusions. To control the people around him he formed a new religious sect. He created his own scripture and declared himself to be the prophet speaking the words of the only true god.

His scriptures were written down and in order to control his followers, he commanded them to spend their time memorizing them word for word, and pray to his god five times a day. To each other, the members of this sect had to be completely honest under pain of death, but to people of other faiths, they could lie, cheat, steal from and deceive them. Any member who fell by the wayside, or converted to another religion was to be killed.

He declared that women were the possessions of men. They were there only to satisfy the needs of man, sexual and physical, to bear children and spend their lives catering to the man who owned them. To ensure that they never strayed, he commanded them to cover their bodies and faces and they were not allowed the benefits of education, nor were they allowed to leave their homes except in the company of a male family member. Worse, some of these women were subjected to Veronique circumcision, a painful experience that left them unable to enjoy sex and to suffer agonies in childbirth.

He further declared that his god commanded all men to have four wives in order to satisfy and conceal his own lust. As men and women are born in approximately equal numbers, he had the problem of an excess of young men unable to satisfy their sexual urges. To deal with this, he told them to go on a holy war against all peoples who did not follow his new sect.

These young men constituted his warriors who he sent out to capture more lands, to steal the possessions of their inhabitants and, if the people living there did not convert to his sect, they were to be beheaded, men, women and children. Later, he realized that to kill all the people who would not convert to his sect was counterproductive, and so he allowed some of them to continue living on their land as long as they paid high taxes to him or became his slaves and their women concubines. Life was made so miserable for these people that many joined his sect in desperation.

He so controlled his followers that they continued to spread around the region conquering lands and killing, converting, or suppressing the inhabitants until their numbers increased into the millions. In order to persuade the young men to fight on his behalf, he promised them that if they died fighting for his god, they would be rewarded by going to Paradise where seventy virgins would be waiting for them - what an incentive for a highly sexed young man. How ridiculous! The body spiritual is incorporeal and incapable of sexual activity.

The name of this man was Mohammed; the name of his sect, Islam; the name of his followers, Muslims; the name of his scripture, the Koran. Though long dead, his legacy and teachings are still practiced in the world today with the object of converting the whole world to this pernicious sect where the laws laid down in his scriptures replace each country's constitutional law.

Imagine for a moment that his followers succeeded and converted the entire population of the earth to Islam. Not only would your grandchildren become Muslims, your granddaughters would be chattels and three quarters of your grandsons would live in perpetual sexual frustration. This alone tells you that this doctrine is flawed from its very beginnings. Do not be deluded, however, Islam is not a religion of peace, it is one of war. If you do not wish to believe this, read the Koran for yourself. Once you have, you will know that the greatest threat to world peace is Islam and the politicians who are so fearful of losing their positions of apparent power that they practice a policy of appeasement, just as Chamberlain did to appease Hitler.

Like Hitler, the Muslim leaders recognize this weakness of the West. Just like Hitler, they will force a world war upon the world and it is more than likely that the first blow they will strike will be at Israel, especially as their scriptures command them to "kill Jews and the people of the book (the Bible)." With Iran now in possession of nuclear weapons, how long do you think we will have to wait before they do?

Convert Iraq into a democracy? You have to be joking. Trying to do so is only what the Muslims are trying to do to the West, but without the religious fervor and conviction of the sons of "allah" (capital omitted). Thousands of American and hundreds of British young men and others have given their lives in a war that can never be won, but has only served to incite the fervor of the Muslim community and fire their hotheaded young sons to commit acts of violence against the West.

As ye do to these the least of my children, so ye do unto me. Love thy neighbor as thyself. Do unto others as ye would have them do unto thee. For God and my neighbor. Thou shalt not kill. These are concepts alien to the Koranic text and the twisted Islamic belief systems. As Christianity continues to become a dying force in the world, Islam is growing to replace it.
