The Life of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
The Prophet ( PBUH ) was born in the noble Hashmi family of Quraish tribe in Makkah in 570 AD.
His father Abdullah died before his birth. Later, his mother Aaminah and
grandfather Abdul Muttalib Also passed away when he was a child. So, he was
brought up by his uncle Abu Talib.
He lived a fair and transparent life as young man. He used to graze the
goats, help his uncle in his affairs and lead a simple life. Later, he started
undertaking trade caravans to Syria. People called him as-sadiq and al-amin
(truthful and trustworthy). He was known in Makkah as honest, kind and
respectful person. At twenty five, he married a merchant widow Khadija who was
forty years old.
The Arabia was in miserable condition. They had no literacy, no
civilization and no prefect religion.
They would engage in bloody racial and tribal wars. Woman had no status in
society, even in some tribes newborn baby girls were buried alive due to shame.
They forgot the religion of their forefather Sayyidna Ibrahim (PBUH) and Sayyidna Ismail (PBUH). They took
to worshipping idols and converted Ka’ba
into a great idol house. They had multiple gods and offered their prayers to
him.
Other world religion in the sixth century had no part in life.
Christianity had lost the teaching propagated by Sayyidna Isa (PBUH). Judaism
was already a racial creed and the rabbis turned into idolatry and statue
worship. They spirit of Buddhism and Jainism also gave way to brahminical
distortions.
It was a tough time for the humanity. The world was fast asleep in the
darkness of ignorance. The light o0f divine guidance was dimly lit at rare
places. The humanity at large was shackled with ignorance, injustice and
inequality. It eagerly awaited a savior and a true messiah.
At last Allah granted prophet-hood to Sayyidna Muhammad (PBUH) and sent him as
mercy for all people. He invited people to Allah and condemned idol worship. He
favored equality and justice for all. In the beginning, he and his companions
faced opposition. They were tortured and even forced to migrate to Madinah. At
Madinah, the prophet established an Islamic state and conquered the whole
Arabia within ten years.
The prophet is the most towering personality of the history. He left
immense influence on the human history. The prophet changed the course of
history and brought about an all-round positive revolution in all spheres of
life. Through his universal teaching, the humanity entered into a new era of
peace and enlightenment. The world got rid of spiritual and social
exploitations. The light of knowledge and divine wisdom illuminated the mind of
every common man. It is the Prophet’s blessed advent which transformed every
life and reshaped the moral and religious values.
We salute him with the depth of our hearts. May the blessings of Allah
and His eternal peace shower upon the Messenger !
