Introduction

Mohammed (the man 'am talking about in this book) isMuhammad ibn Abdull?h the prophet of the Muslims

You may heard about him or read some thing about his

religion the Islam.

If you did you may think that he is the messenger and

prophet of God, philosopher,legislator or some thing else.Any way this book is not about proving his prophets or denies

it.

The aim of this book is simply understand the man & how he

mange to change the world (there is more than 1500 million

Muslim all round the world)

Some say that Islam, Mohammed life and principals areMuslims only interest.

I say if that is right than only Italians should be interesting in

roman impure history & Greeks philosophy is for Greeks

only.

The reason am writing this book is that Mohammed with his

unique experiment mange to convert his followers (some


2/114

nomads/ Bedouins) into great impair with lows , principals,

stall living until now in more than 20 country .

I dont know about you but I think man like that worth

writing & reading about.

Before you continue I like to made clear that this book

doesn't cover all Mohammed life and religion

Its sample biography of the man, Mohammed life story is

vary documentation, there is many books dedicated to small

parts of it.

This tiny book is not meant to be encyclopedia?

Finely English is not my first language so forgave me.

Background

The Arabian Peninsula were Mohammed lived was largely

arid and volcanic, making agriculture difficult except near

oases or springs. Thus the Arabian landscape was dotted with

towns and cities, two prominent of which were Mecca and

Medina.


3/114

Communal life was essential for survival in the desert

conditions, as people needed support against the harsh

environment and lifestyle.

The tribal grouping was thus encouraged by the need to act

as a unit. This unity was based on the bond of kinship by

blood.

People of Arabia were either nomadic or sedentary, the

former constantly traveling from one place to another seeking

water and pasture for their flocks, while the latter settled and

focused on trade and agriculture. The survival of nomads (or

Bedouins) was also partially dependent on raiding caravans

or oases; thus they saw this as no crime.

Medina was a large flourishing agricultural settlement, while

Mecca was an important financial center for many of thesurrounding tribes.

In pre-Islamic Arabia gods were viewed as protectors of

individual tribes and their spirits were associated with sacred

trees, stones, springs and wells.


4/114

There was an important shrine in Mecca that housed statues

of 360 idols of tribal patron deities and was the site of an

annual pilgrimage.

Aside from these tribal gods, like Lat, Manat and al-Uzza

Some monotheistic communities did also exist in Arabia;

including Christians Jews & Hanifs (the realign of the

prophet Abraham) Mohammed him self was Hanifs believe in

oneness of god

Mohammed lived most of his life in Mecca birth work marred

and declare his prophesy on it.

In this time the world was divided between the 2 great nations

the Roman Empireand the Persia Empire the war betweenthem was endless.

Away from the important pleases in the old world was thiscommunity Mecca the Arabian city which Mohammed was

birth the city economy depend on tread for Arab annual

pilgrimage to there idols .

Most of Mecca men work in treads besides the grazing.

Slavery was common, whorehouses, killing, stealing, etc


5/114

There is no government no lows what do you think this

community was like?

Any way this book is not about the Pre-Islamic Arabia

society.

So let's move on.

Mohammed before PROPHETHOOD

On Monday morning Twenty-second of April, 571

Mohammed was birth Abdul-Muttalib( his grand father)

Called the baby Muhammad, a name not then common

among the Arabs, Mohammed was orphan his father die

months before his birth.

In the age of six his mother also die so his grand father takecare of him until he also passed away

Then Mohammed Uncle Abu Talib took the charge of

Mohammed from he was eight years old.

Despite abu talib low-income he took the charge of his

nephew in the best way


6/114

Mohammed worked as a shepherd & at the age of 25, he went

to Syria as a Merchant for Khadijah (great noble women of

Mecca)

She used to employ men to do her Business for a certain

percentage of the profits.

Khadijah was informed of Muhammad kind manners & great

honesty she sent for him. She offered him money to go to

Syria and do her business, & also send her hireling,

Maisarah, with him. When he returned Khadijah noticed in

her money, more profits Her hireling also told her of

Muhammads good manners, honesty, deep thought, sincerity

And faith.

She realized that she homed at her target. Many prominent

men had asked for her hand in marriage but she alwaysspurned their advances. She disclosed her wish to her friend

Nafisa, daughter of Maniya, who immediately went to

Muhammad and tall him with khadijah wish.

Mohammed was happy to accept this proposal & they were

married.


7/114

Khadijah was forty years old and was considered as the best

woman of her folk in lineage, Fortune and wisdom. She was

Mohammed first wife marry here in age 25 & He did not get

married to any other until she had diedopposite Arab menhabits. Khadijah bore all his children, except Abraham

His children

Al-Qasim, Zainab, Ruqaiyah, Umm Kulthum, Fatimah and

Abdullah. All his sons died in their childhood and all the

daughters except Fatimah died during his lifetime. Fatimah

died six months after his death. All his daughters witnessed

Islam, embraced it, and immigrated to Medina.

Mohammed work in trade & when he was nearly forty, he

had been wont to pass long Hours in retirement meditating

and speculating over all aspects of creation around him.He used to go to cave named Hira, in the Mount An-Nour. It

was two miles from Mecca, a small cave 4 yards long and 1.75

yard wide.

He used to devote most of his time, and Ramadan in

particular, to worship and meditation on the universe around

him.


8/114

There were it all begin.

How it all begins

Here we have to stake to the Muslims story simply because

its the only story.

According to this story Mohammed used to spend a lot of

time in the cave of hira as we just mention then one night an

angel come to him Mohammed describe thisunexpectedly,the Truth (the angel) came to him and said, read. I cannot

read, he [Muhammad] described: Then he took me and

squeezed me vehemently and then let me go and repeated the

order Read. I cannot read said I, and once again he

squeezed me and let me till I was exhausted. Then he said:read. I said' I cannot read. He squeezed me for a Third

time and then let me go and said:

Read! In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that

exists), has created man from A clot (a piece of thick

coagulated blood). Read! And your Lord is the Most

Generous.


9/114

[96:1-3]

Mohammed repeated these verses. He was trembling with

fear at this stage,

He came back to his wife Khadijah, and said, Cover me,

cover me. They covered him until he Restored security.

He apprised Khadijah of the incident of the cave and added

that he was horrified.

His wife tried to soothe him and reassured him saying, Allah

will never disgrace you. You uniteuterine relations; you bearthe burden of the weak; you help the poor and the needy, you

entertain the guests and endure hardships in the path of

truthfulness.

She set out with him to her cousin Waraqa bin Nawfal

Who had embraced Christianity in the pre-Islamic period Hewas a blind old man.

Khadijah said: My cousin! Listen to your nephew!

Waraqa Said: O my nephew!

What did you see? Mohammed told him what had

happened to him.


10/114

Waraqa replied: This is Namus(the angel who is entrusted

with Divine Secrets) That Allah sent to Moses.

I wish I were younger. I wish I could live up to the time when

your people would turn you out.

Muhammad asked: Will they drive me out?

Waraqa answered in the affirmative and said: Anyone who

came with something similar to what You have brought was

treated with hostility

And if I should be alive till that day, then I would

Support you strongly.

A few days later Waraqa died and the revelation also

subsided.

Ibn Sad reported on the authority of Ibn Abbas that the

Revelation paused for a few days.Mohammed was caught in a sort of depression Al-Bukhari

reported:

the Divine inspiration paused for a while and the Prophet

became so sad, as we have heard, that he intended several

times to throw himself from the tops of high mountains, and

every time he went up the top of a mountain in order to throw


11/114

himself down, Gabriel ( the angel ) would appear before him

and say: 0 Muhammad! You are indeed Allahs Messenger

in truth, whereupon his heart would become quiet and he

would calm down and return home.

Mohammed was afraid that he is imagining things and he is

mad but after that the revelation started coming strongly,

frequently and regularly.

There the stage of Mecca.

Mohammed in Mecca

Three years of secret Call:It was very hard for Mohamed to just say that he is a Prophet

of gad

The call to Islam briefly speaking, go as follows:

1. Testimony to the Oneness of Allah.

2. Belief in the Hereafter.

3. Sanctifying ones soul and elevating it high above evils and


12/114

abominations that conduce to terrible consequences, besides

this, there is the dire need for virtues and perfect manners

coupled with habituating oneself to righteous deeds.

4. Committing ones all affairs to Allah, the All-High.

5. All the foregoing should run as a natural corollary to

unwavering belief in Muhammads Message, and abidance

his leadership and guidance.

So it was hard for the people of Mecca to consider this

Mohammed call simply destroying there economy and

relationships with ether trails

Mecca was the centre for the Arabs, and housed the

custodians of AI-Kabah. Protection and guardianship of the

idols and stone graven images that received veneration on the

part of all the Arabs lay in the hands of the Mecca's.Mohammed naturally initiated his sacred mission right from

home and then moved to the people closely associated with

him.

He called unto Islam whomsoever he thought would attest

the truth which had come from his Lord. In fact, a host of


13/114

people who nursed not the least seed of doubt as regards him

immediately responded and quite readily embraced Islam.

They are known in the Islamic literature as the early

converts. His wife Khadijah was his first believers then his

freed slave Zaid bin Harithah, his cousin Ali bin Abi Talib,

who had been living with him since his early childhood, and

next came his intimate friend Abu Bakr As-Siddiq.

His freed slave zaid has a strange story he was taking in one

of Arab many wars sold as slave to Mohammed in his

childhood Mohammed love the boy like a son

Years later zaid father come to Mecca & find his son so he

ask Mohammed to sell him his son Mohammed say to him I

dont want your money but ask your son if he choose to leave

me and go with you take him & if he choose me then I cantgive him to you zaid choose Mohamed the man he know the

most over his real family (that was before Mohammed

declare that he is a Prophet )after that Mohammed freed zaid

and call him his son .

Abu Bakr, and from the first day he embraced Islam proved

to be an energetic He was wealthy, obliging, mild and upright.


14/114

People used to frequent his house and draw nigh to him for

his knowledge, amity, pleasant company and business. He

invited whomever he had confidence in to Islam and through

his personal efforts a good number of people converted to

Islam.

Mohammed used to meet and teach, the new converts, the

religion in privacy because the call to Islam was still running

on an individual and secret basis.

After three underground years of activism the time had come

to preach the faith of the Lord openly. The angel Gabriel had

brought him down a further Revelation of Allah's Will to

confront his people, invalidate their falsehood and crush

down their idolatrous practices.

In obedience to Allah's Commands, Muhammad rallied hiskinsmen of Bani Hashim with a group of Bani Al-Muttalib

bin Abd Munaf. The audience counted forty-five men.

Abu Lahab immediately took the initiative and addressed

Mohammed These are your uncles and cousins, speak on to

the point, but first of all you have got to know that your kin

people are not in a position to withstand all the Arabs.


15/114

Another point you have got to bear in mind is that your

relatives are sufficient unto you. If you follow their tradition,

it will be easier for them than to face the other clans of

Qurush supported by the other Arabs. Verily, I have never

heard of anyone who has incurred more harm on his kin

people than you. Mohammed kept silent and said nothing in

that meeting.

He invited them to another meeting and managed to secure

audience. He then stood up and delivered a short speech

explaining quite cogently what was at stake. He said:

celebrate Allhs praise, I seek His help, I believe in Him, I put

my trust in Him, I bear witness that there is no god to be

worshipped but Allah with no associate. A guide can never lie

to his people. I swear by Allah, there is no god but He that Ihave been sent as a Messenger to you, in particular and to all

the people, in general. I swear by Allah you will die just as

you sleep, you will be resurrected just as you wake up. You

will be called to account for your deeds. It is then either Hell

forever or the Garden (Paradise) forever.

Abu Talib replied: We love to help you, accept your advice


16/114

and believe in your words. These are your kin people whom

you have collected and I am one of them but I am the fastest

to do what you like. Do what you have been ordered. I shall

protect and defend you, but I can't quit the religion of Ab d u

I-MuttaIib.

Abu Lahab then said to Abu Talib: I swear by Allh that this

is a bad thing. You must stop him before the others do. Abu

Talib, however, answered: I swear by Allh to protect him as

long as I am alive.

ON MOUNT AS-SAFA: After Mohammed became sure of

Abu Talibs commitment to his protection while he called the

people unto Allah, he stood up on Mount As-Safa one day and

called out loudly: 0 Sabahahl * some of Qurush came to

him. He called them to testify to the Oneness of Allah andbelieve in his Messenger ship and the Day of Resurrection.

Al-Bukhari reported part of this story on the authority of Ibn

Abbas. He said:

The Messenger of Allh ascended Mount As-Safa and started

to call: 0 Bani Fahr! 0 Bani Adi (two septs of Qurush)

Many people gathered and those who couldn't, sent somebody


17/114

to report to them. Abu Lahab was also present. The Prophet

said:

You see, if I were to tell you that there were some horsemen

in the valley planning to raid you, will you believe me? They

said: Yes, we have never experienced any lie from you. He

said: am a Warner to you before a severe torment. Abu

Lahab promptly replied: Perish you all the day! Have you

summoned us for such a thing?

This words was just the begging of war

The torturing of Moslems begin most of Moslems were poor

or slaves.

Some of people of Qurush think of killing Mohammed but

they afraid of his family revenge.

Abu Bakr and the rich Moslems spend most of there wealthfreeing Moslems selves

Abu Lahab, shadow Mohammed steps crying aloud, Omen,

do not listen to him for he is a liar; he is an apostate.

The series of persecutions started late in the fourth year of

Prophet hood, slowly at first, but steadily accelerated and

worsened day by day and month by month until the situation


18/114

got so extremely grave and no longer tolerable in the middle

of the fifth year, that the Muslims began to seriously think of

feasible ways liable to avert the painful tortures meted out to

them after killing some of them ( first Muslims mortal was

somua the wife of yasser ubn aluakzan than he also dead by

torturing)

At last some of the Muslims decided to go to another country

in order to live in peace.

The Muslims asked Mohammed to allow them to leave

Mecca. He agreed, saying 'It would be better for you to go to

Abyssinia.

The king there is a just man and it is a friendly country. Stay

there until Allah makes it possible for you to return.

The Muslims prepared for the journey.They decided to wait until night so that they could leave

without being seen. The first sixteen left Mecca and, after

reaching the shore of the Red Sea, crossed over to Abyssinia.

Another eighty-three men and nineteen women followed,

This was the first migration, in Islam.


19/114

When Mecca's discovered that these Muslims had secretly left

the city they were furious there anger was bigger when they

found out that the Muslims had been warmly welcomed in

Abyssinia. The leaders of Qurush decided to send two men to

the Abyssinian king in hopes of persuading him to send the

Muslims back.

They think (smart thinking) that if Islam find way out will beimpossible to contain.

They sent 'Amr ibn al-'As, a very clever speaker, and Abd

Allah ibn abi Rabiah. Before they met this king, they gave

each of his advisers a gift to help them in there mission.

Then they went to the king and presented him also with a gift,

saying:

'Your Highness, these people have abandoned the religion wehave always followed in Mecca, but they have not even

become Christians like you.' The royal advisers, who were

also present, told the king that the Mecca's had spoken the

truth and that he should send the Muslims back to their own

people. At this, the king became angry and said, 'No, by God,

I will not give them up. Those who have come to ask for my


20/114

protection,settled in my country, and chosen me rather thanothers, shall not be betrayed. I will summon them and ask

them about what these two men have said. If the Muslims are

as the Mecca's say, I will give them up and send them back to

their own people,

Than king then sent for the Muslims & asked them to tell him

about their religion.

Ja'far ibn abi Talib, Ali's brother and a cousin of Mohammed

was chosen to speak for the Muslims.

He replied, '0 King, at first we were among the ignorant. We

and our ancestors had turned from the faith of Abraham,

who, with Ishmael, rebuilt the Kabah and worshipped only

Allah. We used idols in our worship of Allah; we ate meat

that had not been killed in the right way; we did not respectthe rights of our neighbors; the strong took advantage of the

weak. We did terrible things of which I dare not speak.

This was our life until Allah sent a Messenger from among us,

one of our relatives, whom we have always known to be

honest, innocent, and faithful. He asked us to worship only

Allah, and to give up the bad customs of our forefathers. He


21/114

asked us to be truthful and trustworthy, to respect and help

our neighbors, to honor our families, and to put a stop to our

bad deeds and endless fighting. He asked us to look after

orphans. He ordered us not to slander or speak evil of women

or men.

He ordered us to worship Allah alone and not to worship

anyone or anything else alongside Him. He ordered us to

pray, to give alms, and to fast. We believe he is right and

therefore we follow him and do as he has commanded us.

The Mecca's began to attack us and come between us and our

religion. So we had to leave our homes and we have come to

you, hoping to find justice.'

Amr said to the king, 'these people do not believe in Jesus in

the same way as you'The king then wanted to know what Mohammed had said

about Jesus.

Ja'far replied by reciting a Surah from the Koran which tells

the story of Jesus and his mother Mary. These are a few of

the lines he recited:

In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful


22/114

And make mention of Mary in the Scripture, when she had

Withdrawn from her people to an eastern place, and had

chosen seclusion from them. Then we sent unto her our spirit

and it assumed for her the likeness of a perfect man. She said:

Lo! I seek refuge in the Beneficent One from thee, if Thou

fairest God. He said: I am only a messenger of thy Lord that I

may bestow on thee a faultless son. She said: How can I have

a son when no mortal hath touched me, neither have I been

unchaste? He said: 'Even so thy Lord saith: It is easy for me.

And (it will be) that we may make of him revelation for

mankind and a mercy from us, and it is a thing ordained. And

she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a far place.

Then she brought him to her own folk, carrying him. They

said: O Mary! Thou hast come with a monstrous thing. Ohsister of Aaron! Thy father was not a wicked man nor was thy

mother a harlot. Then Mary pointed to the child (Jesus); But

they said, 'How can we speak to one who is still in the cradle,

a young child?' He said, 'Lo, I am Allah's servant; He has

given me the Book, and made me a Prophet.He has made meBlessed, where so ever I may be; and He has enjoined me to


23/114

pray, and to give alms, so long as I live, and likewise to

cherish my mother; he has not made me arrogant, un blest

Peace be upon me, the day I was born, and the day I die, and

the day I am raised up alive! (Koran xix: 16-33)

When the king heard this, his eyes filled with tears. Turning

to his advisers, he said, 'These words have surely come from

God;

Muslims were given the king's permission to live peacefully in

his country. 'Amr was given back the gift he had presented to

the king and the two Mecca's returned home bitterly

disappointed.

Later one of the most courage & nobles of Mecca men join

Islam Umar ibn al-Khattab .

'Umar, was very courageous. As soon as he had declared hisfaith, he went directly to the Ka'bah and in broad daylight

pray like Muslims before the astonished people of Mecca. No

one dared to say anything. But now the leaders of Qurush

became even more alarmed and began to see Islam as a threat

to the whole life of the city.

Mecca was begin to divided


24/114

They offer Mohammed what no one could refuse we would

make you king and collect money from all of us to make you

the riches man among us just stop what you do

Mohammed refuses insisting that he is messenger of god

They grew more and more furious as the numbers of Muslims

increased until finally they, decided that Mohammed would

have to be killed.

On hearing of these plans, Abu Talib, Mohammed uncle,

immediately sent a message to all the sons of 'Abd al-

Muttalib, asking them to protect their nephew, and this they

agreed to do. When Qurush realized that they could not kill

the Prophet because of this protection, they decided instead to

avoid him and his followers completely.

A declaration to this effect was hung at the Kabah. It statedthat no one in the city was allowed to have anything to do

with the Mohammed and his people, or even to sell them any

food or drink whatsoever (the siege).

Muslims tried to buy supplies from a caravan passing near to

Mecca, Abu Lahab, one of the Muslims' worst enemies,

offered ten times the price of the goods to the merchant. By


25/114

doing this he managed to stop the Muslims, from buying what

they desperately needed.

The strange thing in this ordeal is Islam grew stronger.

Each year at the time of the pilgrimage to Mecca, people

come from all over Arabia. These pilgrims saw the terrible

cruelty and injustice of Qurush towards the Muslims, and

many of them were sorry for Mohammed followers. Qurush

began to feel ashamed of their harsh treatment, especially as

many of the Muslims were their cousins and close relatives.

Finally, at the end of three years, they were convinced that

the time had come to put an end to the persecution of the

Muslims, and they decided to takedown the notice hanging at

the Kabah. To their astonishment, the sheet of paper had

been completely eaten up by worms, all except the words, 'InYour Name, O Allah', which had been written at the top of

the paper.

Than Mohammed and his followers went back to a normal

way of life

But things get harder on Mohammed and his followers later


26/114

It was 619 A.D., when Khadijah died Mohammed lost his

beloved wife and friend, the first person to accept Islam and

support him.

Soon after this, Muhammad's uncle and protector, Abu Talib,

also died.

Abu Talib had been one of the most respected men in Mecca-

one of the elders of Qurush. Even though he had never been a

follower of Islam, he had protected Mohammed against his

enemies. Not only was this a sad occasion for the Prophet but

also a dangerous one. According to Arab custom anyone who

is under the protection of another is safe so long as his

protector lives. Now, with the death of his uncle, Mohammed

protection was gone.

Mohammed and his followers call this year the Year ofSorrow

His enemies began to treat him worse than ever before. Even

small children insulted him. Ones young man threw some

filth on his head; Mohammed went home without making

anything of it. When one of his daughters rushed, weeping, to


27/114

wash it away, he comforted her saying, 'Do not weep my little

girl, for Allah will protect your father.'

Mohammed felt that Islam could make no further progress in

Mecca because the hearts of Qurush were closed against him.

He decided, therefore, to travel to Ta'if where he hoped to

find support. He walked all the way to the town, which was

seventy kilometers away. There he spoke in all the places

where people gathered, but no one listened to him. He met the

leaders of the three most important tribes but they would not

listen either. Not only did they take no notice of what he said,

but they laughed at him and ordered their slaves to insult him

and pelt him with stones.

Mohammed sadly walked back to Mecca.

The Night Journey and the Ascent to Heaven(Al-Isra and Al-Mirraj )

One morning Mohammed told Qurush that last night he &

the Archangel Gabriel at his side, was transported from

Mecca to the mosque called al-Aqsa, in far away Jerusalem.

There he found Abraham, Moses, and Jesus among a group

of Prophets. And he acted as their leader, or imam, in prayer.


28/114

Thanthey passed through Heaven's gates then he was takeninto the Light of the Divine Presence of Allah, and was

instructed that Muslims should pray.

(The story is big so I abridge it)

Most of Qurush said, 'By God! This is ridiculous! A caravan

takes a month to go to Syria and a month to return! Can you

do that long journey in a single night?' Even many Muslims

were amazed by this and wanted to there Prophet to explain.

Some ran with the news to Abu Bakr who said, 'By Allah, if

Muhammad himself has said so, then it is true. Remember,

the Prophet tells us that the word of Allah comes to him

directly from heaven to earth at any hour by day or night,

and we believe him Isn't that a greater miracle than what you

are now doubting?'Then Abu Bakr went to Mohammed and listened to his

detailed description of Jerusalem. He commented, 'You tell

the truth, 0 Prophet of Allah!' From then on, Abu Bakr was

honored with the title 'al-Siddiq, which means 'he who gives

his word to support the truth'. Others also began to believe

the Prophet's story when he went on to describe two caravans


29/114

he had seen on his way back to Mecca. He told the doubters

where he had seen the caravans, what they were carrying and

when they would arrive in Mecca. All that Mohammed had

said was born out when the caravans arrived at the time he

said they would, carrying all that he had described.

In Yathrib there were two main tribes, the Aws and the

Khazraj.

Both were very powerful, they were always at war with one

another, and both worshipped idols. Also in Yathrib were

many Jews who, unlike the Arab at that time, knew that there

was only One God, and worshipped Him.

In the time of pilgrimage six men from the city of Yathrib

Met Mohammed

They met him at a spot known as Aqabah, near Mecca, Heexplained to them what Islam meant recited to them from the

Koran they became Muslims and on leaving Mecca they

promised to return the following year. When they reached

Yathrib carrying Islam in their hearts, they told their

relatives and friends what they had heard from the Prophet

and many more people became Muslims.


30/114

Next year twelve important men from Yathrib went to Mecca

to meet the Prophet and promised faithfully to serve him and

Islam. In return, the Prophet sent one of his friends, Musab

ibn 'Umayr, with them to teach theKoran and instruct themin their new religion.

Next year a secret meeting with Mohammed was arranged to

be held at night. Seventy-three men and one woman from

Yathrib came, and Mohammed arrived with his uncle, al-

Abbas. During this meeting the men from Yathrib offered to

protect and defend the Prophet and his followers if they

would come to live in Yathrib. This promise of protection

came to be known as the Treaty of Aqabah.

Mohammed told his friends and followers to go to Yathrib

where they would be safe and most of them took thisopportunity to leave.

Seeing that the Muslims were leaving the city the unbelievers

decided to kill Mohammed

Before he, left Mecca to join his followers in Yathrib. In this

way they hoped to put an end to Islam once and for all.

But Mohammed mange to escape (another big story)


31/114

Here a new chapter of Mohammed story begins.

The city of Mohammed

What city this was?

Yathrib was large agricultural oasis most of her inhabitants

were farmers there was two great tribes ous and kazrag plus

some tribes of Jews.

The war in this city was endless between all the tribes

especially between ous and kazrag.

Mohammed journey from Mecca is called the hijrah, ormigration. It was really the first step towards the spread of

Islam throughout the entire world, and Muslims begin their

calendar from the year of the hijrah.

Mohammed arrive Yathrib in Monday, September 27, in the

year 622 A.D.,


32/114

Later Mohammed change the name of the city from yathrib

(city of illness) to al Medina (the city)

He find great reception All the Muslims went out to greet

him, shouting, Allahu Akbar! Allah is great! Muhammad

the Messenger of Allah has arrived!' The women and children

sang songs to show how glad they were to see him.Most ofThe people there had not seen him before but most of the city

inhabitants believe in him & his massage.

Mohammed stayed in Quba', which is a place at the entrance

of Medina, for three days. On the first Friday after his arrival

the Prophet led the congregation in prayer. After this many

of the wealthiest men invited him to come and live with them

and share their riches. But he refused and, pointing to his

she-camel, Qaswa', said, 'Let her go her way?They let the camel go until she finally knelt down beside a

house belonging to the Bani an-Najjar, the tribe to whom

Mohammed's mother was related.

This house was used as a drying-place for dates and belonged

to two young orphan boys. They offered to give it to the

Prophet but he insisted on paying them for it, and so their


33/114

guardian, Asad the son of Zurarah, who was present, made

the necessary arrangements.

Mohammed decided that a mosque and a place for him to live

be built on the site. All the Muslims worked together to finish

it quickly-even him joined in.

It was here that the Muslims would pray and meet to make

important decisions and plans.

The building was quite plain and simple. The floor was

beaten earth and the roof of palm leaves was held up by tree

trunks. Two Stones marked the direction of prayer. At first

worshippers faced Jerusalem, but Soon after the direction of

prayer was changed towards the Kabah in Mecca.

After building the mosque, Mohammed wanted to strengthen

the relationship between the people called the Muhajirah orEmigrants, who had left Mecca with him, and the people of

Medina, who were known as the Ansar, or Helpers.

Mohammed told Each man from Medina took as his brother

a man from Mecca, sharing everything with him and treating

him as a member of his own family.


34/114

(If my dear father told me to give my dear brother half of my

money " will you think about it)

Mohammed also mad treaty with Jews tribes

The Muslims, who had gone to Medina, had left all their

belongings behind in Mecca and these had been taken by

their enemies. Thus, when the Muslims heard that Abu

Sufyan, one of the leaders of Qurush, was on his way back to

Mecca from Syria with a large caravan of goods, they decided

to raid this caravan to retrieve some of their losses.

Mohammed gave the Muslims permission for this attack

But Abu Sufyan hade been informed about the Muslims' plan

and quickly sent a message to Qurush in Mecca, asking for

help.

Thousand men came out to help him defend the caravan.Unaware of this, the Mohammed set out with his followers. It

was the month of Ramadan and the Muslims were fasting.

There were only three hundred and five of them,

They arrived in the mountain of Badr, some distance from

Medina where they camp and waited for the caravan. Then


35/114

they heard that Qurush had set out from Mecca with a big

army.

Mohammed gathered his men asking what they wanted to do.

Abu Bakr, and Umar, spoke on behalf of the Muslims of

Mecca

They said they would obey the Prophet But Mohammed

wanted to hear the opinion of the Ansar, because he did not

want to force them into doing something they did not agree

with him to do. Sad Ibn Muadh, one of the leaders of the

Ansar, got up and said, we believe in you and we swear before

all men that what you have brought is the truth.We havegiven you our word and agreement to hear and obey. So go

where you wish, we are with you even if you should lead us

into the sea!Mohammed was so happy to hear this and encouraged to

fight

Meanwhile Abu Sufyan changed the course of the caravan

and quickly took it out of Muslims reach. He then sent word

to Qurush telling them that the caravan was safe and that

they should return to Mecca. But the leaders of Qurush


36/114

refused to return as they had made up their minds to show

everyone how powerful they were by destroying the Muslims.

On the morning of Friday, the 17th of Ramadan, 2 A.H.,

(March 17th, AD), the two armies advanced and drew closer

to one another.

Mohammed preferred the men to fight in ranks. As they

prepared to march he noticed someone had stepped out in

front of the others. Mohammedprodded him in the side withpiece of wood, saying, 'Stand in line!' The man, named

Sawad, exclaimed, 'You have hurt me, O Messenger of Allah!

Allah has sent you to be just and good.' Mohammed lifted his

shirt and said, 'Then does the same to me. The man

approached and kissed him on the spot instead, saying, '0

Messenger of Allah, you see what is before us and I may notsurvive the battle.If this is my last time with you, I want thelast thing I do in life to be this.' Shortly after he went into

battle, Sawad get killed

And the battle begins and even though the Muslims were

much fewer in number, they gained a great victory, defeating

Mecca army and killing most of its leaders. Among the


37/114

leading Mecca's who died were Abu Jahl and Umayyah ibn

Khalaf, who was killed by his former slave, Bilal. Seeing that

their leaders were nearly all dead, the remainder of Qurush

retreated.

The battle ended with killing 70 man of Mecca army and take

prisoner 74 of them

14 Muslims also killed.

Mohammed consults his man about the prisoners most of

them think to kill them all because if they left them they will

fight them again.

Mohammed refuses this and decides that who know how to

read & write of the prisoners will set free if he learns 10 kids.

And who is illiteracy should pay ransom for his freedom or

to agree to never fight the Muslims again.But this wasn't the end of it

The survivors of the defeated Qurush army at Badr gathered

in Mecca decided to fight Mohammed again In order to do

this it was agreed that everyone who had had a share in the

caravan should put his profits towards the cost of a new

army, which would be three times as big as the one at Badr.


38/114

When Mohammed knows of this plans he gathered his

companions to discuss what they should do. He thought it

would be better to wait for the enemy inside city rather than

go out to meet them, because it would be easier to defend

Medina from inside the city walls. But the young Muslims

were going out and face Quash. They said, '0 Prophet of

Allah, lead us out against our enemies, or else they will think

we are too cowardly and too weak to fight them. Those were

the majority so Mohammed agree to there opinion

The Muslimswas seven hundred men to meet Mecca army,which numbered three thousand.

When Muslims reached the mountain of Uhud Mohammed

ordered them to stand in ranks in front of the mountain, so

that they would be protected from behind. He then positionedfifty archers on top of the mountain, giving them the

following order: 'Keep the Mecca cavalry away from us with

your arrows and don't let them come against us from the

rear, whether the battle goes in our favor or against us.

Whatever happens keep to your places so that we cannot be


39/114

attacked from your direction, even if you see us being slain or

booty being taken?

And the battle beginsThe Quash warriors were soon forcedto retreat. It looked as though they had been defeated! Seeing

this, forty of the fifty Muslims archers on top of the mountain

ran down from their position to collect booty, for the Quash

army had left many of their belongings behind. The archers

rushed to take what they could, forgetting Mohammed

orders.

Khalid Ibn al-Walid, Commander of the Qurush cavalry, saw

what' happening and quickly turned his men around and

ordered them to attack the Muslims from behind. The

Muslims were taken by surprise. The Quash army then began

attacking from both sides atonce .Many Muslims were killed

it was rumored that Mohammed him self had killed. When

the Muslims heard this they were at a loss to know what to

do.

Many of them escape back to medina.

But Mohammed stands there shouting "am Mohammed the

messenger of god"


40/114

Around him 14 men and 1 woman stand defending him

against the Qurush army

Until the Muslims begin to gather again.

The battle end and Quash were at last avenged.

74 Muslims get killed this day there bodes deformity badly by

Qurush army there ears and noses were cut off used in

making collars and bracelets.

The affect of the lost was huge Mohammed him self was

wended badly lost a lot of his faithful men his city become

weak Arab tribe begin to attack the city borders .

People begin to question is he really a Prophet?

The Jews tribe in the city begin to reconsider there

agreements with Mohammed

Watch include that in the case of war the Jews would fight onthe side of the Muslims.

Some how Mohammed mange to overcome all this

His believers were increases and become more attach to him

follow his orders exactly.


41/114

When some night Mohammed told his followers that god

forbid wine drinking or selling it next morning the roads of

the city flowed with spilled wine

No one drank or sell wine of the Muslims any more.

(Quit drinking in one day? That is really some thing)

The Battle of the Trench February 627

The Muslims know that The leader of QurushAbu Sufyanwas coming to attack them with an enormous army which

included many other Arab tribes, as well as Qurush.

Thos tribes decided that the time is come to put an end of

Islam spreading

Mohammed gathered his men to discuss a plan of action

against the approaching enemy, a man named Salman was

present and it was he who suggested that they should dig atrench around the city. Mohammed thought this a good idea,

so the Muslims set to work, although it was in the middle of

winter. They worked day and night, digging the trench as

quickly as possible. Mohammed himself carried rocks and

when the men were tired he gave them the will to carry on. By

the way Mohammed told his followers in this time that they


42/114

will defeat the empire of Persia& theempire of Romans.Wheel they were digging the trench?

On March 24, 627 A.D, Abu Sufyan arrived with more than

ten thousand men. The Muslims numbered only three

thousand. Quash and their allies surrounded Medina but

between the two armies were the long, wide trench.

The idolaters were surprised to see a Wide trench, a new

stratagem unknown in Arabia before,

All of there desperate attempts failed due to Muslims

steadfastness and heroic

But the chief of Bani Nadir, Huyai, headed for the habitations

of Banu Quraiza (Jews tribe in medina) to incite their chief

Kab bin Asad Al-Qurazi, who had drawn a pact with

Mohammed to run to his aid in times of war.Kab, in the beginning Resisted all Huyais temptation, but

Huyai was clever enough to manipulate him, speaking of

Qurush

Mind determined to exterminate Muhammad and his

followers. He, moreover,promised to stay in Kabs fortexposing himself to any potential danger in case Qurush


43/114

Recanted. The wicked man went on in this manner until he

later managed to win Kab to his side and Persuade him to

break his covenant with the Muslims.

The Muslims were in critical position & horrible danger

Their back was vulnerable to the attacks of Banu Quraiza,

and a huge army with no way to connive at in front,

A man from the tribe of Ghatfan called Naim bin Masud

asked to be admitted in the audience of Mohammed. He

declared that he had embraced Islam secretly and asked

Mohammed to order him do anything that might benefit the

Muslims. Mohammed asked him to do anything that could

help the Muslims in the present distress and use any

stratagem of avail. The man, in a shuttle movement, between

the Jews, Qurush and Ghatfan managed to incite each partyto let down the other. He went to see the chiefs of Banu

Quraiza and whispered in their ears not to trust Qurush nor

fight with them unless the latter pledged some hostages. He

tried to lend support to his counsel by claiming that

Qurush would forsake them if they perceived that victory

over Muhammad was far fetched, and the Muslims then


44/114

would have terrible revenge on them .Naim, then headed for

the camp of Qurush and managed to practice a similar

stratagem in its final result but different in content. He

claimed that he felt that the Jews regretted breaching their

covenant with Muhammad and his followers. He told them

that the Jews maintained regular correspondence with the

Muslims to the effect that Qurush hostages be sent to the

camp of the Muslims with full Jewish allegiance paid to them

as already agreed upon. Naim

Then exhorted Qurush not to send hostages to the Jews On a

third errand, he did the same with the people of Ghatfan

On Saturday night, both Qurush and Ghatfan dispatched

envoys to the Jews exhorting them to go into war against

Muhammad.The Jews sent back Messages that they would not fight on

Saturday.

They added that they needed hostages from them to

guarantee their consistency.

On receiving the replies, Qurush and Ghatfan came to believe

Naims words fully.


45/114

Therefore, they sent a message to the Jews again inviting

them to war and asking them to preclude that condition of

hostages.

Naims scheme proved successful, and a state of distrust and

suspicion among the disbelieving allies prevailed and reduced

their morale to deplorable degree

The invading of the city was filed& the siege of Median had

ended.

Peace had been restored to Medina.

The Treaty of Hudaybiyah

After the annual fast of Ramadan, Mohammed told the

Muslims that he had a dream, which indicated that the

Muslims should go to Mecca for the pilgrimage. One

thousand and four hundred Muslims got ready to go with himon the Lesser Pilgrimage called 'the `Umra'. They dressed in

white and went unarmed to show Qurush that they had come

to make the pilgrimage and not to fight.

When Mohammed was on his way, Quash sent troops to stop

the Muslims from entering the city.


46/114

Mohammed avoids them and camp in pleas named '

Hudaybiyah,

Then he sent to Qurush to tell them that the Muslims had

come only for the pilgrimage, to worship Allah at the Holy

Ka'bah, and that they wanted to enter the city peacefully.

Then he sent his son-in-law, 'Uthman Ibn Affan, a wise and

respected man from both sides, but Uthman late rumors come

that he has been killed.

Hearing this Mohammed gathered the Muslims under an

acacia tree and asked them to swear to fight if uthman was

really killed, which they did. This pact, which is mentioned in

the Koran, became known as the Treaty of Radwan (which

means Paradise).

Shortly after,Uthman Ibn Affan returned and the Muslims

were relieved to see that no harm had come to him.

Some Mecca warriors tried to attack the Muslim camp but

they were captured and brought to Mohammed who forgave

them when they promise to stop attacking the Muslims. Soon

after this, official messengers came from Qurush and talks

began for a peaceful settlement.


47/114

Suhayl ibn 'Amr was sent by the Mecca's to work out a

treaty.

When Mohammed asked 'Ali to write 'In the Name of Allah,

the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful', on the top of the page,

Suhayl objected, saying 'Write only: bismik Allahumma (in

Thy name of God). I don't know him as al-Rahman (the Most

Gracious), al-Rahim (the most Merciful).' Mohammed agreed

and dictated: 'This is a treaty between Muhammad the

Messenger of Allah and Suhayl ibn 'Amr.

Suhayl, say: I don't believe that you are the Messenger of

Allah.

If I thought you were Allah's Messenger I wouldn't be

fighting against you, would I?

Mohammed agreed that he should be referred to in the treatyas Muhammad', son of 'Abd Allah.

In this treaty the two sides agreed to stop fighting for a period

of ten years.

It was also agreed that the Muslims should go back to

Median immediately but that they could return the following

year for the pilgrimage.


48/114

This pilgrimage would last three days no more.

In addition, the treaty allowed Muslims wishing to leave

Islam and return to Mecca to do so but it also permitted

Mecca's to leave and join Mohammed in his city. And The

Muslims must send any Mecca's come to them back.

Mohammed agree in this And the Treaty of Hudaybiyah was

signed.

Muslims were very disappointed some was furiously the

terms of the agreement was hard to accept.

But Mohammed thought that 10 years of peace will make

great result helping Muslims becoming stronger and more

respected throughout Arabia.

Most of those who left Mecca to join Mohammed don't to

medina butlived instead in groups along the seashore. Then

they were joined by others who had left Mecca but these

groups began to endanger Quash caravans which were

passing by Qurush told the Mohammed that he can take these

new Muslims, they would not ask for them to be returned.

Numbers of believers in Medina had doubled some of Arab

tribes begin to join Islam soon Khalid Ibn al-Walid, the great


49/114

warrior who had defeated the Muslims at Uhud and Amr Ibn

al-'As, the clever speaker who had pursued the Muslims when

they fled to Abyssinia both come to Mohammed and join him

Mohammed also begins to send messengers to the kings

beyond Arabia calling them to Islam.

ToNegus, king of Abyssinia'Muqawqas, vicegerent of Egypt'Chosroes, Emperor of Persia'Hercules impure of Rome'Mundhir bin Sawa, Governor of Bahrain'Haudha bin Ali,Governor of Yamama'the King of Oman, Jaifer, and hisBrother Abd Al-Jalandi'

The positive result was: Mundhir bin Sawa, Governor of

Bahrain&Haudha bin Ali, Governor of Yamama'&theKing of Oman, Jaifer, and his Brother Abd Al-Jalandi

become Muslims.In the ether hand one of Mohammed messengers'Umair Al-Azdi on an errand to carry a letter to the ruler of Busra. On

his way,

He was intercepted by Sharhabeel bin 'Amr Al-Ghassani, the

governor of Al-Balqa' and a close ally to Caesar, the roman

Emperor. Al-Harith was tied and beheaded


50/114

By Al-Ghassani.

Mohammed was shocked on hearing the news and ordered

that army of 3000 men be mobilized and dispatched to the

north to discipline the transgressors.

Zaid bin Haritha was appointed to lead the army. Ja'far bin

Abi Talib would replace him if he was killed, and 'Abdullah

bin Rawaha would succeed Ja'far in case the latter fell. A

white banner was raised and handed over to Zaid.

But when Muslims arrived there destination they find twohundred thousand solder witting for them Heracles had

mobilized a hundred thousand troops together with

Another hundred thousand men of Lakham, Judham and

Balqain (Arabian tribes allied to the Romans).

The aim was to destroy the rising Muslims forces & give thempainful lesson.

Muslims debating these unfavorable conditions

Some suggested that they should write a letter to Mohammed

seeking his advice

. 'Abdullah bin Rawaha was opposed to them being reluctant

and addressed the Muslims saying:


51/114

"I swear by Allah that this very object which you hold in

abhorrence is the very one you have set out seeking,

martyrdom. In our fight we don't count on number of

soldiers or equipment but rather on the Faith that Allah has

honored us with. Dart to win either of the two victories or

martyrdom."

Fighting started between the two parties,

Soon the 3 leaders of Muslims army were killed after showing

great heroism and bravery.

Than Muslims choose Khalid bin Al-Waleed as there new

leader.

Khalid with great skills reshuffled the right and left flanks of

the Muslim army and introduced forward a division from the

reardeluding Romans that fresh reinforcements had arrived.

Khalid plan work and he mange to well-planned withdrawal

his army wheel the Romans was waiting to know how many

reinforcements had arrived to Muslims army this was just

the begging of longbitter struggle between Muslims androman ended after more than 800 year by ending the Eastern

Roman Empire on the hand of "Mohammed al fatih


52/114

The Conquest of Mecca

The ten-year peace was to be broken by Qurush who, with

their allies, the Bani Bakr, attacked the Khuzaah tribe.

Khuzaah was allies of the Muslims and partners in the

Treaty of Hudaybiyah.

When the people of Khuzaah told Mohammed about the

attack he immediately ordered his men to prepare for war.

When they were ready he told them that their destination was

Mecca.

Mohammed who escape from Mecca with one man return 8

years later with Muslim army of ten thousand,

Mohammed did not want any fighting within the walls of the

city, so his plan was to move quickly and take the enemy by

surprise. In this way the Mecca's would not have time toprepare for war and, being surrounded would have to

surrender.

Mohammed orders his army to comp out side Mecca.

Soon he meet Abu Sufyan the leader of Mecca told him to tell

the people of Mecca that the Muslims would enter the city

the next morning.


53/114

And assure the Mecca's that those who remained in their own

homes or at the Kabah would be safe.

Early next day, the Muslims entered Mecca from all sides.

They had been ordered to cause no harm unless anyone tried

to stop them entering.

When Mohammed arrive he perform prays.

Knowing that Mohammed had come in peace People began

leaving their homes and running towards the Kabah.

When Mohammed had finished his prays he said,

'There no divinity except Allah and He has no partner.

Men and women of Qurush be not proud for all are equal; we

are all the sons of Adam, and Adam was made of dust.' Then

he recited this verse to them:

In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the MercifulO mankind! Lo! We have created you male and female, and

have made you nations and tribes so you may know each

another. Surely the noblest of you, in the sight of Allah, is the

best in conduct. Lo! Allah is All-knowing, All-aware. (Koran

xlix.13)


54/114

After this he said to them: 'O Qurush, what do you think I am

going to do to you?

'The people thought carefully before answering because they

knew that according to the laws of war they could all be taken

prisoner.

Some replied, you will treat us as a kind nephew and a

generous brother would.'

Mohammed replied 'God forgives you and He is the Most

Merciful of the merciful.Go your way, for you are freedHe then turned to the Ka'bah and, orders his men to destroy

the three hundred and sixty-five idols on it.

People of Mecca begin to professed Islam after seeing the

idols destroying realizing how foolish they were warship those

stones.Then Mohammed ordered Bilal to climb on top of it and

perform the call to prayer. Since then the call to prayer has

been heard five times a day in Mecca.

Islam was entering new stage people were professed Islam in

thousands.


55/114

Men of all Arab tribes came to Mohammed to join his

religion

But south of Mecca a strongtribe called Hawazin see greatdanger in this

So they decided to attack Mecca before Muslims could

spread their religion throughout Arabia.

Malik Ibn Awf, was chosen as the leader of Hawazin and

there allays.

He put forward brave plan: he told his army 'You should all

go out to battle accompanied by your families, your sons,

your tents, your sheep and goats, for with all your belongings

at stake, none of you will dare give up the fight.'

Mohammed heard what the enemy tribes were planning; he

decided not to wait for them and ordered his army towardsTaif. He had twelve thousand men (his army increased two

thousand men in few days)

In there way Hawazin ambushed them in Hunayn path, a

narrow way in the rugged mountains Hawazin warriors had

already climbed up the mountain and were waiting for them.

As soon as all the Muslims were trapped in the narrow


56/114

passage-way below, the Hawazin threw rocks down upon

them and then attacked with arrows.

In surprise and fear, the Muslims started to retreat.

Mohammed was bitterly disappointed.

But he stayed firmly in his place with Abu Bakr, 'Ali, his

uncle al-Abbas, and a few companions at his side.

Al-'Abbas then called to the Muslims to return and not to

abandon the Prophet Ashamed at what they had done, and

seeing Mohammed facing the enemy almost alone, the

Muslims quickly returned to fight.

Soon the battle was over Muslims won hawazin army fled,

leaving their families and possessions to be captured.

Mohammed freed all the captured (almost six thousand)

Most of them become Muslims later.Soon Mohammed returns to the medina.

When he heard that Eastern Roman Empire preparing to

attack him he call his men tell them what he heard and

decided that it would be better to meet the Roman army in

Tabuk, some 500 kilometers form Medina on the route to

Syria, than to await an attack on Medina.


57/114

30 thousand men come out with him it was scary idea to fight

the Romans big test Muslims didn't disappoint Mohammed

on it.

Any way when Mohammed and his army arrived at the oasis

of Tabukwaited at the oasis for a 20 days but when it becameapparent that the Romans were not going to fight, he gave the

order to return home.

The Farewell Pilgrimage

Mohammed had become the most powerful leader in the

whole of Arabia. After the idols in the Ka'bah had been

smashed and Qurush had become Muslim, most of the other

tribes of Arabia came to declare their Islam. As each tribe

joined Islam, Muhammad sent his men to teach them about

their new religion.When the time came for the yearly pilgrimage Mohammed

want to Meccawith his family and friends and so manyMuslims also go.

In the end of pilgrimage Mohammed went down thevalleywhere a hundred thousand and twenty-fouror forty-fourthousand people gathered round him.


58/114

There he stood up and delivered the following speech:

O people! Listen to what I say. I do not know whether I will

ever meet you at this place once again after this current year.

It is unlawful for you to shed the blood of one another or take

(unlawfully) the fortunes of one another.

They are as unlawful, (Hiram) as shedding blood on such a

day as today and in such a month as this (Hiram) month and

in such a sanctified city as this sacred city.

Behold! All practices of paganism and ignorance are now

under my feet.

The blood-revenge of the Days of Ignorance (pre-Islamic

time) are remitted.

The first claim on blood I abolish is that of Ibn Rabia bin

Harith who was nursed in the tribe of Sad and whomHudhail killed.

Usury is forbidden, and I make a beginning by remitting the

amount of interest which Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib has to

receive. Verily, it is remitted entirely.

O people! Fear Allah concerning women. Verily you have

taken them on the security of Allah and have made their


59/114

persons lawful unto you by Words of Allah! It is incumbent

upon them to honor their conjugal rights and, not to commit

acts of impropriety which, if they do, you have authority to

chastise them, yet not severely. If your wives refrain from

impropriety and are faithful to you, clothe and feed them

suitably.

Verily, I have left amongst you the Book of Allah and the

Sunna(Traditions) of His Messenger

Which if you hold fast, you shall never go astray.

O people, I am not succeeded by a Prophet and you are not

succeeded by any nation. So I recommend you to worship

your Lord, to pray the five prayers, to fast Ramadan and to

offer the Zakat(poor-due) of your provision willingly. I

recommend you to do the pilgrimage to the Sacred House ofyour Lord and to obey those who are in charge of you then

you will be awarded to enter the Paradise of your Lord.

And if you were asked about me, what wanted you to say?

They replied:

We bear witness that you have conveyed the message and

discharged your ministry.


60/114

He then raised his fore skywards and then moved it down

towards people while saying:

O Allah, Bear witness.

Shortly after his return to Medina, Mohammed gets sick for

few days and dies

He dies wheel his armor was pawning for some flour he left

nothing to his family.

Mohammed Death was huge shock on Muslims many of them

couldn't believe it

The life of Mohammed has over but his realign did not Islam

spread all over the world

How this happens? This is anther story.

Here my humble very brief biography of Mohammed end

Few final notes remain.

Mohammed says

The best way to understand the man & his massage is to read

what he says about his realign so lets here it from the man.

Mohammed says and doing are obligatory to Muslims.


61/114

1- The true Muslim is he from whose hands and from whose

tongue other Muslims are safe. The true emigrant is he who

forsakes that which is forbidden by God

2- Allah the Almighty states

My servant transgresses against me, while it does not behoove

him to do so. He abuses Me. while it does not behoove him to

do so. His transgression against me is that he says that Allah

the Almighty, having once created me, will not resurrect me

(after I am dead). And his abuse of me is that he claims that

Allah has taken unto Himself a son, whereas I am Self-

Sufficient, the One on Whom everything else depends. I have

never begot, nor was I begotten, and there never was one likeunto Me

3-There are three qualities which, when possessed by

someone will enable him to discover the true sweetness of

faith


62/114

That Allah and His messenger are dearer to him than

anything else; that he loves someone purely for the sake of

Allah; that after Allah The Almighty has saved him from

disbelief, he loathes returning to disbelief as much as he

abhors being hurled into fire

4-The best among you is the one who learns the Quran and

teaches it to others

5- Abu Saeed Khudri. Narrates

The Holy Prophet .UI bused to feed the camels himself: He

would perform household chores: mend shoes, darn clothes,

milk goats, and eat in the company of servants. If a servant

became tired while grinding flour, he would help him at this.He would not feel belittled carrying household goods from the

market to the house. He would shake hands with the rich and

the poor alike. He would always be the first to extend

greetings. He would not disdain accepting an invitation - not

even so small an invitation as to join in eating dates. He would

relieve those who toiled. He was mild-tempered and kind-


63/114

hearted. His conduct was excellent and he was always

cheerful. He would smile but would not laugh loudly; he

would not frown even when vexed. He was humble, but not

lowly Generous, but not extravagant.

He was tender-hearted and merciful to all Muslims alike. He

would never eat his fill to the point where one is likely to start

yawning. He would never extend his hand motivated by greed

6- Omar bin Khattab says

We were sitting in the company of the Holy Prophet when

suddenly a man arrived. He was

Wearing clean, white clothes and his hair was jet black.

He did not look as though he was a traveler and he was not

known to any of us. He sat down close to the Holy ProphetHis knees touching the latters. He said, Tell me something

about faith. The Holy Prophet replied: Faith is that you

should believe in Allah, His angels, His Books and His

prophets; that you should believe in the Day of Judgment and

that you should believe in the Divine laws relating to good

and evil


64/114

7- Abdullah bin Masud states that he asked the Holy Prophet

which deed was most pleasing to Allah the Exalted. The Holy

Prophet replied

Offering the prayers at the appointed time

I enquired, And after this

He replied, Being kind to parents

I asked, Which deed after this

He answered, Striving in the path of Allah

8- A generous person is close to Allah, close to the people and

close to Paradise but far away from Hell. As opposed to this, a

miser is far away from Allah, from the people and from

Paradise, but close to Hell. An ignorant person who isgenerous is dearer to Allah than a worshipping miser

9-The case of a person who observes the limits set by Allah as

compared to the one who breaks these limits is like that of a

people who cast lots about reserving places in a boat. Some of

them are allotted the upper deck while others get the lower.


65/114

When those on the lower deck need water they have to pass

by those who are above them. They suggest, If we make a

hole in our part of the ship we will not disturb those above

us. If those on the upper deck let them do as they intend, all

of them will be destroyed, while if they stop them, all of them

will remain safe

10-A person who invites people to the truth gets a reward

Equal to the reward of all those who accept the truth

(at his invitation), while nothing will be subtracted from their

rewards. Likewise a person who entices others to sin carries

the burden of all the sins committed at his inducement, while

nothing will be subtracted from the punishment of those who

commit the sins

11-The one dearest to me and the one nearest to me on the

Day of Judgment, will be the one who is most well mannered.

The most loathsome from among you and furthest removed

from me on the Day of Judgment will be the boastful, the

braggarts and the al-mutafaihiqoon. The Companions


66/114

required, We know the ones who are boastful and those who

brag, but who are the mutafaihiqoon? The Holy Prophet

answered, They are those who are arrogant and spiteful

12-Whoever relieves a believer of his worries in this world

will have his afflictions removed by Allah on the Day of

Judgment. Whoever is lenient to someone whose means of

sustenance have been straitened, Allah will be lenient to him

in this world and the next. Whoever covers the weakness of a

Muslim, Allah will provide him cover in this world and in the

world to come. Allah always stands by the side of the one who

is helpful to his brother. Whoever treads a path in pursuit of

knowledge, Allah will facilitate thereby his way to Paradise.

Those who gather in any of the Houses of Allah to recite theBook of Allah and teach each other are certainly blessed with

tranquility; they are covered by His mercy and are

surrounded by the angels. Allah mentions them to those who

are closest to Him. The one, who is left behind because of his

deeds, will not have his cause advanced because of the good

name of his family

13-On the Day of Judgment, Allah the Almighty will say, 0

son of Adam! I was ill, why did you not enquire after me

when I was ill? He will respond, How could I enquire after

your health while you are the Lord of the universe? Allah

will reply, Were you not aware that a servant of mine fell ill

and you failed to inquire after him? Had you done so, you

would have found me by his side. 0 son of Adam! I begged

you for food and you did not feed me. He will respond, 0 my

Lord, how could I have fed you, while you are the Lord of the

universe? Allah will say, Did you not realize that when a

servant of Mine asked you for food and you refused to oblige

him, if you had fed him I would have appreciated it as if you

had done it to Me. O son of Adam! I asked thee to quench mythirst, and you refused to do so. He will say, How could I

quench your thirst, while you are the Lord of the universe?

Allah will say, When a servant of Mine asked you to quench

his thirst and you did not respond, had you done so I would

have appreciated it as if you had done it to Me

not talk to each other excluding the third, as it will hurt him,

unless you are joined by others

17-Poorly is the person, poorly is the person, again, poorly is

the person, the one who lives long enough to witness the old

age of his parents, yet fails to earn Paradise (by serving them)

18-Whoever believes in Allah and the Day of Judgment

should not put his neighbors to inconvenience. Whoever

believes in Allah and the Day of Judgment should treat his

guests with respect. Whoever believes in Allah and the Day of

Judgment should only say that which is good or else remain

quiet

19-Seek me in the midst of the weak and the poor; verily you

are sustained and supported by them.

20- The height of excellence is that you should strengthen the

ties of relationship with the one who severs them and be

generous to the one who is miserly to you and be forgiving to

the one who abuses you.

not hate each other

Do not turn your back on each other.

Do not make an offer while two parties are engaged in

bargaining.Be true servants of God by becoming brothers to one another

Muslims are brothers to (other) Muslims.

One should not transgress against the other; he should not

treat the other with disdain, nor should he forsake him

Here dwells taqwa (the fear of God), said the Holy Prophet

and he pointed to his chest three times.


70/114

Then he said: It is enough to ruin one to disdain ones

brother Muslim. The blood, the property and the honor of a

Muslim is inviolable to another Muslim.

22-He who has a jot of arrogance in his heart will not enter

Paradise. Someone said, What about a person who likes to

have beautiful clothes and beautiful shoes? The Prophet

answered, Allah is Beauty and He loves beauty. (One cannot

be called arrogant if one beautifies oneself). Arrogance lies in

the rejection of the truth and in looking down upon people.

23-Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever frees his share of a

common slave and he has sufficient money to free him

completely, should let its price be estimated by a just man andgive his partners the price of their shares and manumit the

slave; otherwise (i.e. if he has not sufficient money) he

manumits the slave partially

information or saying good things is not a liar

opponents quarreling at the door. One of them was appealing

to the other to deduct his debt and asking him to be lenient

but the other was saying, "By Allah I will not do so." Allah's

Apostle went out to them and said, "Who is the one who was

swearing by Allah that he would not do a favor?" That man

said, "I am that person, O Allah's Apostle! I will give my

opponent whatever he wishes

26-Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah

My father died and was in debt. I suggested that his creditors

take the fruits (i.e. dates) of my garden in lieu of the debt of

my father, but they refused the offer, as they thought that itwould not cover the full debt. So, I went to the Prophet and

told him about it. He said (to me), "When you pluck the dates

and collect them in the Mirbad (i.e. a place where dates are

dried), call me (Allah's Apostle)." Finally he came

accompanied by Abu Bakr and 'Umar and sat on the dates

and invoked Allah to bless them. Then he said, "Call your


72/114

creditors and give them their full rights." So, I paid all my

father's creditors in full and yet thirteen extra Wasqs of dates

remained, seven of which were 'Ajwa and six were Laun or

six of which were Ajwa and seven were Laun. I met Allah's

Apostle at sunset and informed him about it. On that he

smiled and said, "Go to Abu Bakr and 'Umar and tell them

about it." They said, "We perceived that was going to

happen, as Allah's Apostle did what he did

73/114

"No." I said, "One third of it?" He said, "One-third (is

alright), yet it is still too much, for you'd better leave your

inheritors wealthy than leave them poor, begging of others.

Whatever you spend will be considered a Sadaqa for you,

even the mouthful of food you put in the mouth of your wife.

Anyhow Allah may let you recover, so that some people may

benefit by you and others be harmed by you.

30-The best alms is that which you give when you are rich,

and you should start first to support your dependants

31-Narrated Anas bin Malik:A Bedouin urinated in the mosque and the people ran to

(beat) him. Allah's Apostle said, "Do not interrupt hisurination (i.e. let him finish)." Then the Prophet asked for a

tumbler of water and poured the water over the place of

urine than told him that mosque is a place to warship god &

he shouldn't do this on it.

32-When the Prophet sent Muadh to Yemen, he said to him,

"You are going to a nation from the people of the Scripture,

so let the first thing to which you will invite them, be the

oneness of Allah. If they learn that, tell them that Allah has

enjoined on them, five prayers to be offered in one day and

one night. And if they pray, tell them that Allah has enjoined

on them Zakat of their properties and it is to be taken from

the rich among them and given to the poor. And if they agree

to that, then take from them Zakat but avoid the best

property of the people

mankind.

Allah: (1) None knows what is in the womb, but Allah: (2)

knows when it will rain, but Allah; (4) None knows where he

will die, but Allah (knows that); (5) and none knows when the

37- Narrated Hakim bin Hizam

I asked the Prophet (for some money) and he gave me, and

then again I asked him and he gave me, and then again I

asked him and he gave me and he then said, "This wealth is

(like) green and sweet (fruit), and whoever takes it without

greed, Allah will bless it for him, but whoever takes it withgreed, Allah will not bless it for him, and he will be like the

one who eats but is never satisfied. And the upper (giving)

hand is better than the lower (taking) hand.

of his heirs dearer to him than his own wealth?" They

replied, "O Allah's Apostle! There is none among us but loves

he spends (in Allah's Cause) during his life (on good deeds)

while the wealth of his heirs is whatever he leaves after his

death.

39- Narrated Abu Dhar

Once I went out at night and found Allah's Apostle walking

all alone accompanied by nobody, and I thought that perhaps

he disliked that someone should accompany him. So I walked

in the shade, away from the moonlight, but the Prophet

looked behind and saw me and said, "Who is that?" I replied,

"Abu Dhar, let Allah get me sacrificed for you!" He said, "O

Abu Dhar, come here!" So I accompanied him for a while andthen he said, "The rich are in fact the poor (little rewarded)

on the Day of Resurrection except him whom Allah gives

wealth which he gives (in charity) to his right, left, front and

back, and does good deeds with it. I walked with him a little

longer. Then he said to me, "Sit down here." So he made me

sit in an open space surrounded by rocks, and said to me, "Sit


77/114

here till I come back to you." He went towards Al-Harra till I

could not see him, and he stayed away for a long period, and

then I heard him saying, while he was coming, "Even if he

had committed theft, and even if he had committed illegal

sexual intercourse?" When he came, I could not remain

patient and asked him, "O Allah's Prophet! Let Allah get me

sacrificed for you! Whom were you speaking to by the side of

Al-Harra? I did not hear anybody responding to your talk."

He said, "It was Gabriel who appeared to me beside Al-Harra

and said, 'Give the good news to your followers that whoever

dies without having worshipped anything besides Allah, will

enter Paradise.' I said, 'O Gabriel! Even if he had committed

theft or committed illegal sexual intercourse? He said, 'Yes.' I

said, 'Even if he has committed theft or committed illegalsexual intercourse?' He said, 'Yes.' I said, 'Even if he has

committed theft or committed illegal sexual intercourse?' He

said, 'Yes.

A man passed by Allah's Apostle and the Prophet asked a

man sitting beside him, "What is your opinion about this

(passer-by)?" He replied, "This (passer-by) is from the noble

class of people. By Allah, if he should ask for a lady's hand in

marriage, he ought to be given her in marriage, and if he

intercedes for somebody, his intercession will be accepted.

Allah's Apostle kept quiet, and then another man passed by

and Allah's Apostle asked the same man (his companion)

again, "What is your opinion about this (second) one?" He

said, "O Allah's Apostle! This person is one of the poor

Muslims. If he should ask a lady's hand in marriage, no-onewill accept him, and if he intercedes for somebody, no one will

accept his intercession, and if he talks, no-one will listen to his

talk." Then Allah's Apostle said, "This (poor man) is better

than such a large number of the first type (i.e. rich men) as to

fill the earth.

give them something) and he gave to everyone of them, who

asked him, until all that he had was finished. When

hand, he said to them, '"(Know) that if I have any wealth, I

will not withhold it from you (to keep for somebody else) And

(know) that he who refrains from begging others (or doing

prohibited deeds), Allah will make him contented and not in

need of others; and he who remains patient, Allah will bestow

patience upon him, and he who is satisfied with what he has,

Allah will make him self-sufficient. And there is no gift better

passions, while Paradise is surrounded by all kinds of disliked

undesirable things.

asked, "How will honesty be lost, O Allah's Apostle?" He

said, "When authority is given to those who do not deserve it,then wait for the Hour.

48- He who lets the people hear of his good deeds

intentionally, to win their praise, Allah will let the people

know his real intention (on the Day of Resurrection), and he

who does good things in public to show off and win the praise

of the people, Allah will disclose his real intention (and

humiliate him).
