The pre-Islamic era was full of extreme debauchery, wickedness, wickedness, adultery, lying, murder, plunder, drunkenness, gambling. At a time when injustice, conflict, terror, anarchy, despair and wailing were rampant, the greatest human being and the last Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) appeared for the guidance of the whole world. The Prophet (peace be upon him) was sent as a unique mercy of Allah for the world. The great world director has declared, "I have sent you as a special mercy to the world."
Birth and childhood
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was born in the Bani Hashim dynasty of the Quraish tribe in the city of Mecca in present day Saudi Arabia. Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) was born on Monday 12th Rabiul Awal in 570 AD. His mother's name is Amina and his father's name is Abdullah. From a very young age, Allah tested him through difficult tests. The father lost his mother Amina at the age of 6 before he was born. And his grandfather died at the age of eight. The orphan child grows up in the care and love of his uncle.
Naming:
Mother Amena sent this news to Dada Abdul Muttalib soon after the birth of Hazrat Muhammad (peace be upon him). He came running after receiving the news. He sees with absolute affection, carefully enters the Ka'bah with his lap, recites the praises of Allah and prays. Then he named him 'Muhammad' (praised).
Ahmed naming:
Bibi Amina is named ‘Ahmed’ (highly acclaimed ’) after the name she got in her dream during her pregnancy. The names Muhammad and Ahmad were common from childhood. Both names are mentioned in the Holy Quran.
Drink milk tomorrow
First of all, his mother Hazrat Amena made him drink milk. Then Abu Lahab's maid 'Suwaiba' made him drink milk. Then he started looking for the midwife. Halima Chadia, the wife of Bani Sa'd of the Hawazin tribe, was blessed with this rare privilege. In such a way that no other midwife adopted Muhammad, while Halima Saadiya did not adopt any other child. As a result, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was compelled to accept Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. From the moment of acceptance, the tide of divine blessing began in Halima's house. After drinking milk for two years, Bibi Halima came to her mother with the baby Muhammad and at the same time expressed her wish that the baby should be allowed to stay with her for some more days. Meanwhile, there was an epidemic in Makkah. Thinking of both, Bibi Amena returned her baby to Halima. In this way, Hazrat Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was brought up in Bani Saad till he was five years old. There he used to graze goats in the forest with his milk brothers. (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Kitabun Nikah, Siratun Nabi: 1/162)
Under the care of grandfather and uncle
After the death of the parents of Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH), Dada Abdul Muttalib took charge of his upbringing. She loved him very much. He even dominated his own sons. He used to sit in his seat. He was under his care till the death of his grandfather Abdul Muttalib.
After the death of his grandfather Abdul Muttalib, his uncle Abu Talib took over. He was eight years old then. He assisted his uncle Abu Talib in raising goats and doing business in Syria.
Marriage with Khadija (R)
At the age of twenty-five, the Prophet (peace be upon him) married Khadija bint Khowali, a wealthy woman from Makkah. The aristocratic Sati, the wealthy, the female Khadija used to trade goods with different people and she used to take a share of the profits. The honesty, truthfulness and fidelity of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) were then well known. Al-Amin, hearing Assakin's praise, sent him a business offer. Hazrat Muhammad (peace be upon him) agreed and explained everything to him at the end of the business with much profit.
Fascinated by the Prophet's qualities and hearing the miraculous signs, Mother Khadija proposed marriage and their marriage was consummated on the basis of their consent. Khadija was 40 years old then. As long as he was alive, the Prophet (peace be upon him) did not feel the need for any more marriage. After that she got married a total of 11 times for ideological needs and for various benefits of women society. Two died before her death and she was married to nine.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) established peace
According to the great book Al-Quran, the logic of history and the information from various books, at the end of the month of Ramadan, the Prophet (peace be upon him) sent a revelation to the Prophet (peace be upon him) through Gabriel (peace be upon him). At this time he turned 40 years old. At first he got that pattern in a dream and later he got it directly.
Introduction to Revelation:
He spent most of his time in the Hera Cave at Gare Hera, located on the famous Jabale Noor in Makkah and spent several nights there. He used to arrange accommodation in advance. Thus, when he brought Tashrif to the cave of Hera, the holy moment came to bless him with the status of Nubuwat. In the 41st year of his birth, according to the 27th Rajab (13 years before the Hijrah), the event took place in the state of Awakening and Consciousness in the year 710 AD. The angel of Allah, Gabriel (peace be upon him) came to him for the first time with the last words of Allah, the last revelation of Allah to the people of the world, the guide to the path of liberation of the world, and the first words of Al-Quranul Kareem.
“Read in the name of your Lord
An angel came to Hera cave in front of him and said: Read. He replied, "How shall I read?"
The angel said:
"Read in the name of your Lord, Who created man from a clot of congealed blood. Your Lord is Most Merciful."
Who taught with the help of pen. He taught people what he did not know. " (Surah Al-A'laq: 1-5.)
Mi'raj or ascension
When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was 51 years and nine months old, he was physically honored by traveling to the dignified Isra and Mi'raj. Mi'raj Rasoolullah (peace be upon him) first went from the Ka'bah to Baitul Muqaddas, then from there he crossed the seven heavens one by one and took Azim Tashrif on the throne of Allah Almighty. During this journey, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) prayed five times. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) went to Mi'raj and saw Paradise and Hell with his own eyes.
Order of invitation:
Allah Ta'ala commanded the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) to invite people to Islam,
يَاأَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ ﴾﴿﴾ قُمْ فَأَنْذِرْ ﴾﴿﴾ وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ (Surat al-Muddaththir)
O veiled man! Get up and be careful.
Secretly the call of Islam
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) obeyed the command of his Lord and secretly began to spread Islam among the people. He was the first to invite his family and friends to Islam. Khadija was the first. He accepted the invitation. Abu Bakr Siddiq (ra) was the first among the men, Ali ibn Abu Talib was the youngest. And among the slaves was Zayd ibn Haritha. He accepted Islam.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) secretly preached Islam to those close to him for three years.
Invitation to Islam in public
After secretly preaching for three years, Muhammad began preaching Islam openly. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) stood on Mount Safa and called everyone together. Then he openly said that there is no lord but Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. From this time the conspiracy against Islam began.
Patience and steadfastness
The Muslims faced all the persecutions and oppression of the polytheists with patience and determination. Because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) advised them to be patient and steadfast in danger in the hope of gaining reward and Paradise. Some of the notable Companions who were persecuted by the polytheists are: Bilal ibn Rabah and Ammar ibn Yasir. Etc. Yasir and Sumaiya were killed after being tortured by the polytheists. And they are the first martyrs in the history of Islam.
Gaining the title of Al-Amin
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to think from his childhood. He was sympathetic to the miserable and oppressed people. The Arabs awarded him the title of ‘Al-Amin’ or believer for his humility, modesty, truthfulness and good manners.
Go to Taif
The Quraish took the death of Abu Talib, the patron uncle of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), as an opportunity. The level of torture on him increased much more than before. He went to Taif in the hope of getting help and shelter in this difficult situation. But there was nothing but ridicule and abuse. They hurled stones at the Prophet (peace be upon him) and injured him. As a result, he returned to Makkah.
Hijrah in Medina
The Quraish plotted to assassinate the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). But they failed and Allah Ta'ala protected him.
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) came out of his house and Allah blinded the disbelievers so that they could not see the Prophet (peace be upon him). He walked out of Mecca Abu Bakr Siddique. Meet it. Then they started walking together. Reaching the mountain called Saur, he hid in a cave for three days. At this time Abdullah bin Abu Bakr. The news of the Quraish would reach them and his sister Asma would deliver food and drink. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and his companion Abu Bakr (ra) came out of the cave and started on their way to Madinah.
The beginning of a new chapter in Medina
When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) arrived in Madinah, he built the first mosque in Islam on the basis of taqwa. This mosque is now known as "Masjid Ku'ba" in Medina.
The first step taken by the Prophet (peace be upon him) in Medina was to build a mosque for the Nawabi and to establish brotherhood between the Ansar and the Muhajireen.
Conquest of Mecca
After the treaty of Hudaybiyyah, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was able to expand his da'wah program in different tribes. As a result, the number of Muslims has increased at a faster rate in one year. Meanwhile, Banu Bakr, who had entered into an alliance with the Quraish, attacked Khuza'ar, an ally of the Muslims. This meant that the Quraish and its allies violated the treaty of Hudaybiyyah.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was very angry at this news and formed a huge army of ten thousand warriors to conquer Makkah.
It was the month of Ramadan in the eighth year of the Hijri. The Quraish, meanwhile, on hearing of the Prophet's expedition to Mecca, sent word to their leader and spokesman, Abu Sufyan, asking for forgiveness, enforcing the treaty, and extending the treaty. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) rejected their request for forgiveness. Because they have broken their promise. Abu Sufyan saw no other way but to accept Islam. Then the army left (towards Makkah) and surrendered near Makkah after seeing a large group of Makkans. And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) entered Makkah with the Muslims in a triumphant dress.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) circumambulated the House and smashed all the idols around the Ka'bah with his stick. And keep reciting the verses taught by your Lord,
وَقُلْ جَاءَ الْحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ الْبَاطِلُ إِنَّ الْبَاطِلَ كَانَ زَهُوقًا-
Say, "Truth has come, and falsehood has vanished. Falsehood is bound to vanish." (Surah Isra: 71)
Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) addressed all. Declared Mecca sacred and safe.
Farewell Hajj
In the year 10 AH, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) urged the Muslims to go to Makkah with him to perform Hajj and learn the rules of Hajj.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
At his call millions of disciples came. They went out with him to Mecca on the twenty-fifth day of the month of Zulqa'dah. Arriving at Baitullah, he first performed Tawaf. Then on the eighth day of the month of Zilhaj he left for Minar. Then on the ninth day Jabal set out for Arafah. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) stayed there and delivered his historic immortal speech to the Muslims, teaching them Islamic rules and rules of Hajj and reciting the following words of Allaah: “Today I have perfected your religion for you. I have completed My blessings upon you and have chosen Islam as your religion. "
After returning from the Farewell Hajj, Muhammad (pbuh) contracted fever in the month of Safar 11 AH. Due to the high temperature of the fever, warmth was also felt on the turban. Even when he was ill, he led the prayers for eleven days. After the illness became severe, he stayed in Ayesha's room with the permission of all his wives. He had seven or eight dinars, which he donated the day before his death. Finally, on the evening of the 1st of Rabiul Awal, 11 AH, he passed away in the presence of the great Lord. At that time Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was 63 years old.
After all, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) set a unique example in the establishment of world peace, in all respects he was a successful personality.
In the language of the historical Gibbon,
If all the world was united under one leader, Muhammad would have been the best fitted man to lead the peoples of various creeds, dogmas and ideas to peace and happiness.
"If the whole world could be brought together under one leadership, then Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) would be the best qualified leader to lead people of different faiths, creeds and beliefs on the path of peace and happiness."
It is not possible to end the life of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) with this little writing. Later, in Shadow News, the biography of Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) will be discussed in more detail step by step.
