Iman

Iman

Iman means to believe that all the messages brought by The Messenger of Allah are true. It is not mere moving of one’s lips with the testimony of لااله الا الله محمد رسول الله .But it has a wider sense. As the Messenger told Iman has seventy branches of which first and foremost is to testify the oneness of the divinity of Allah and the last is to remove the obstacles from the road.


From the teachings and the life of the messenger we can understand that Islam is not a mere declaration, but it covers all the spheres of human life.

A believer can not shut his eyes to his surroundings. He has a great responsibility towards the society in which he is living. As a social being he is responsible to his family, neighbours, organisation, nation and to the whole humanity. But all those responsibilities should be guarded and maintained by his responsibilities and duties to the supreme will of the Almighty Allah. All the moments one believer live on earth give him newer lessons. The shedding light of the Sun, the soft smile of the Moon, the glittering sparks of the stars, the blooming flowers, the murmuring of rivulets, the cleanliness of the blue sky, the patting of the breeze and all other aspects of universe continue to give him new messages of the wisdom of their Creator, thereby increasing the faith in his absolute power. Even no heartbeat is felt by a believer without being reminded of the grace of the Creator to the living beings.

The six important elements of Iman

The Messenger of Allah taught us six important elements which are considered to be the crux of Iman. They are described by a tradition reported in Saheeh Muslim. It is as follows:

Umar bin Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with them) said: Once we were sitting in the company of Messenger of Allah (PBUH) when there appeared a man dressed in very white clothes and having extraordinary black hair. No signs of fatigue of journey appeared on him and he was known to none of us. He sat down facing the Prophet (PBUH) leaning his knees against the knees of the Prophet (PBUH) and placing both of his palms over his two thighs and said, "O Muhammad (PBUH)! Tell me about Islam". He (PBUH)replied, "Islam is to testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and that Muhammad (PBUH) is the Messenger of Allah; that you observe Salat (prayers), pay Zakat, observe Saum (fasting) of Ramadan and perform Hajj (pilgrimage) of the House, provided you have resources of making journey to it.'' He replied: "You have spoken the truth". We were surprised to see that he had asked him and confirmed the correctness of the answers. He then enquired: "Tell me about Iman". He (PBUH) said. "It is to believe in Allah, and His Angels, and His Books, and His Messengers and the Last Day and that you believe in foreordainment, its bad and good consequences.'' He said, "You have spoken the truth.'' He then enquired: "Tell me about Ihsan.'' He (PBUH) said, "It is to worship Allah as if you are seeing Him; and although you do not see Him, He sees you". He enquired: "Inform me about the Hour (i.e., the Day of Resurrection)". He (PBUH) replied, "I have no more knowledge thereof than you". He said, "Inform me about some of its signs". He (PBUH) said, "They are - that a bondswoman gives birth to her own master, and that you will find the barefooted, naked, poor shepherds competing one another in the construction of higher buildings". Then he departed. The Messenger of Allah kept silent for a while then he said to me, "O `Umar! Do you know who the questioner was?'' I replied, "Allah and His Messenger know better". The Prophet (PBUH) said, "He was Jibril (Gabriel); he came to you to teach you your religion".

[Muslim]

From the above tradition we understand Iman is to believe
1) in Allah

2) in His Angels


3) in His Books


4) in His Messengers


5) in the last Day


6) in the foreordainment, its good or bad consequences.

Islam

What is Islam?



Islam is a religion which is sent by the creator of this universe ALLAH through his selected messengers. It guides its followers in every aspect of their lives. It is a way of life.

Islam is the modern version of the message sent by Allah the Almighty through Adam, Noah, Ibrahim, Moosa and Isa. Islam was perfected to mankind through the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam (peace be upon him).
Islam is a religion which seeks to give a meaningful purpose to life of both human beings and Jins. It seeks to guide us in fulfilling that purpose by creating harmony between ourselves, our Creator and fellow human beings.

Islam presents a complete code for life on earth and its message extends to the eternity.

Islam teaches the mankind what should be the goal of life here and warns the people of a life hereafter which is more important than the present life.

Islam is a system for all people, whatever race or background they might be. That is why Islamic civilization is based on a unity which stands completely against any racial or ethnic discrimination. Such major racial and ethnic groups as the Arabs, Persians, Turks, Africans, Indians, Chinese and Malays in addition to numerous smaller units embraced Islam and contributed to the spread of Islam.

It tries to inculcate in the mind of each man and woman a feeling of belongingness wherever in the universe he /she may be. Islam breaks the shell of narrow nationalism and tribalism and calls for a universal brotherhood which is exemplified by the pilgrims at the time of Hajj to Makkah, the holiest city on earth. The sense of brotherhood and sisterhood was so much emphasized that it overcame all local attachments to a particular tribe, race, or language, all of which became subservient to the universal brotherhood.

Once one enters into Islam he becomes a person with a vast and deep outlook about the life. He is not moved by the momentary joys or by passing sorrows. The pains that he undergoes, he believes, are destined by Allah, the Almighty even before the creation of the whole universe. So he is not bothered about the dark side of the present life. But all that matters is his life hereafter. Anything that hinders his spiritual progress makes him worry.

But this does not mean that a Muslim should keep abstinent from the whole joys of present life. The Holy Qur'an itself has clarified the importance of the life here. While explaining an exemplary Muslim it stated that a Muslim is one who prays
O Allah give us the good here and the good hereafter. (Qur'an)

Islam very strongly emphasizes on the rights and duties which people have over each other. It seeks to preserve peace in society by training and urging its followers to fulfill the rights of each other. In Islam, salvation is not possible by just fulfilling the rights of God; one has to fulfill the rights of other human beings also.

The One & Only God
Islam is a monotheistic religion. It teaches that there is only one God who is the creator of the universe. This is the foundation of Islam, and is reflected in the famous testimony which says لا اله الا الله محمد رسول الله (LAA ILAAHA ILLALLAH, MUHAMMADUN RASOOLULLAH) (There is no god but Allah And Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) is the messenger of Allah.

The belief in ALLAH relates us to our CREATOR and guides us throughout our life. The belief in one God shows that man should not worship any material/spiritual thing or person in this universe.

By teaching that there is only One God for all humans, Islam promotes the sense of brotherhood and equality in human society--all are equally related to God in the same way. The Qur'an, the last message of ALLAH says:

قُلۡ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدٌ (١) ٱللَّهُ ٱلصَّمَدُ (٢) لَمۡ يَلِدۡ وَلَمۡ يُولَدۡ (٣) وَلَمۡ يَكُن لَّهُ ۥ ڪُفُوًا أَحَدُۢ (٤)


Say He (ALLAH) is One,

ALLAH is Eternal;

He has neither begotten,

nor has He been begotten;

and there is no one equal to Him.

(Chapter 112)


The Purpose of Life

Our life on this earth has a specific purpose; it is not the result of nature's accident, nor is it a punishment for eating the fruit of the forbidden tree. We are here according to God's plan. The worldly life is a test; it is a chance to prove ourselves as deserving of the eternal blissful life hereafter. God did not create us just for few years of this life. To be created just for this world's life would amount to a joke played by the Creator with the human species.

According to Islam, the final destination of mankind is the life hereafter. At the end of time, all human beings will be resurrected and will be held accountable for their worldly life. The life hereafter will be an eternal life. However, whether it will be blissful or full of sorrow depends on how we spend our present life.

It was to help mankind in achieving this objective that ALLAH sent various prophets and messengers to guide them. Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam is the last prophet, and Islam is the final and complete version of Allah's message.

The Holy Quraan

The Holy Quraan is the eternal word of God. Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam received these divine revelations (The Holy Quraan) over a period of 23 years in the seventh century of the Common Era (C.E.). Each revelation was written down by the Prophet's scribes according to the Prophet's instructions. The current order and organization into the 114 chapters (Surahs) of the entire revelations were therefore given to us by the Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam himself. Additionally, the Prophet and many companions (Sahabah) had committed the entire Quraan to memory. The practice of memorizing the whole Quraan continued throughout the centuries. There are thousands of such Muslims, known as Huffaz, usually one for each Mosque in Muslim countries.



In order to gain a proper understanding of many verses in the Holy Quraan, it is important to understand and know the historic context of the revelations. So many revelations in the Holy Quraan came down to provide guidance to Prophet Muhammad and the fellow Muslims based on what they were confronting at that time.



الٓمٓ (١) ذَٲلِكَ ٱلۡڪِتَـٰبُ لَا رَيۡبَ‌ۛ فِيهِ‌ۛ هُدً۬ى لِّلۡمُتَّقِينَ (٢) ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَيُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقۡنَـٰهُمۡ يُنفِقُونَ (٣) وَٱلَّذِينَ يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكَ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ مِن قَبۡلِكَ وَبِٱلۡأَخِرَةِ هُمۡ يُوقِنُونَ (٤) أُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ عَلَىٰ هُدً۬ى مِّن رَّبِّهِمۡ‌ۖ وَأُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُفۡلِحُونَ (٥) إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَأَنذَرۡتَهُمۡ أَمۡ لَمۡ تُنذِرۡهُمۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ (٦)(البقرة)



"Alif, Lam, Meem. This is the Scripture whereof there is no doubt, a guidance unto those who ward off (evil). Who believe in the Unseen, and establish worship, and spend of that We have bestowed upon them; And who believe in that which is revealed unto thee (Muhammad) and that which was revealed before thee, and are certain of the Hereafter. These depend on guidance from their Lord. These are the successful. As for the Disbelievers, Whether thou warn them or thou warn them not it is all one for them; they believe not. Allah hath sealed their hearing and their hearts, and on their eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be an awful doom." (Surah Al-Baqarah, Chapter 2)



Calling the Quraan amazing is not something done only by Muslims, who have an appreciation for the book and who are pleased with it; it has been labeled amazing by non-Muslims as well. In fact, even people who hate Islam very much have still called it amazing. One thing which surprises non-muslims who are examining the book very closely is that the Qur'aan does not appear to them to be what they expected.



The original text of the Quraan, in Arabic, is widely available throughout the world. The Holy Quraan is the only revealed text still extant today in its original language and form.

Islam-kerala Leaders






-Shaik Aboobacker Bin Ahmad







Kanthapuram enjoys a multifaceted personality of a scholar, orator, writer, organizer, educationist and fore-fighter of social revivalism. He recognized and proved by his actions that knowledge can be turned to channalize for social empowerment and has a wider perspective.


He brought about a good social status and dignity for the religious scholars with his active interference in the society. He became a member of the Central Mushawara of Samastha Kerala Jam-iyyathul Ulema in 1974, followed by the office secretary, before becoming the joint secretary of the Samastha. He was a member of the committee, which was appointed to expand the organization in all India level in 1976. He held the designation of the general secretary of Samastha Kerala Sunni Yuvajana Sangham, (S.Y.S.) from 1975 to 1996, and he was the president of the organization during the tenure of 1996- 2004. Presently, Kanthapuram is the Chairman of the Supreme Council of S.Y.S. He also served as the member of Hajj committee of Kerala and Chairman to the Editorial board of the Arabic Text Books of Govt. Schools of Kerala.

He was elected as the General Secretary of Samastha Kerala Jam-iyyathul Ulema in 1989. In 1993, when the All India Jam-iyyathul Ulema was set up, Kanthapuram became the General Secretary and in the same year he was endorsed as the Consortium Qasi of Calicut and in 2003 as of the Wayanad district as well. Besides these, Kanthapuram is the treasurer of Samastha Kerala Sunni Education Board and General Secretary of the famous Markazu-ssaquafathi-ssuniyya or The Sunni Markaz.



The debates and dialogues of Kanthapuram is very famous especially against those sects of the Muslims who emerged against the puritan nature of Islam and the teachings of Qur-An. The debates of Kuttichira, Ayiroor, Kuttoor, Pattambi, Pulikkal, Valiyaparambu, Kottappuram…etc with Kanthapuram in lead, was surely a blow to these sectarians.



In the post independent India, where illiteracy and poverty were the ruling factors as the balance sheet of the colonial rule, Kanthapuram began his revivalism, keeping in mind the social and educational upliftment of the downtrodden class including that of the Muslims. He visualized and translated into action farsighted projects in order to change the social anarchy and educational backwardness of the Muslims, which were prevailing in the Muslim society after the 1921 Malabar Mutiny. Kanthapuram is the visionary, founder and founder General Secretary of Markazu-ssaquafathi-ssuniyya, which is a world famous educational consortium, including that of Orphanages, Vocational Training Centers, School of Islamic Shariah, School of Qur-An Learning, Engineering College, English Medium Educational Institutes, International Public Schools, Women's Educational Centers, Hospitals and Commercial Complexes. Apart from this, Kanthapuram serves as the chief patron and Chairman of about 300 Educational Institutions, which are spread all over India. The Islamic Educational Board, headed by Kanathapuram runs more than ten thousand Madrassas, which provides religious education up to the secondary level.



Focusing his attention on the suppressed and sidelined population, he felt that the need of the hour is to provide proper education to lift them up from all type of inhibition thus giving them all round social development. He pragmatically proved the concept of education by the very resolute principle of “Modern education in any branch, backed by moral traditions and religious values”.



This serves as a cornerstone to his contemplation of the educational system in the troubled modern world, which shapes the character of the individual in perfect balance applicable to any situation. Jamia Markaz and those institutions under its supervision are proving this very fact for the past 30 years.

The Messenger

The prophet Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam  was born in 570 CE in Makkah. His father Abdullah died before his birth. His mother Amina died while on the return of journey from Madina at a place called Abawa’ when he was seven. Then his patronage moved to his parental grand father Abdul Muthalib until the age of eight, and after his grand father’s death to Abu Twalib, his paternal uncle.






In boyhood days itself, Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam was noticed because of his good character. He was very calm, honest and kind. He was popularly known as Al- Ameen, which means, honest due to his unique behavior. He did not indulge in drinking, gambling or illicit relationships and in unwanted quarrellings. In those days people of Makkah had plunged in all vices. They had all of the bad habits. Superstitions and unreasonable rituals were in the zenith. Their holy sanctuary Ka’bah was filled with three hundred and sixty idols. They used to worship idols and to give offerings to numerous ‘gods’. Men and woman together would circumambulate the Ka’bah nakedly without any shame. And it was considered as a sacred custom. Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam did not involve in any of such deeds. He spent his time herding the sheep and assisting the needy people.

He had visited Syria accompanying a merchant caravan led by Abu Twalib. Since Abu Twalib gave up the trade, he could not travel more. Khadeeja (Radhiyallahu anha) was a rich woman and reputed merchant in Makkah .Hearing Muhammad’s impressive credentials Khadeeja (Radhiyallahu anha) invited him to join her merchant caravan. She asked Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam to take some merchandise for trade to Syria. She has sufficient faith in him to entrust with him all of her business affairs. Khadeeja (Radhiyallahu anha) was then twice widowed and forty years old. She was attracted by the stemming behavior of Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam and proposed marriage with him. They married when Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam was twenty five while Khadeeja Radhiyallahu anha was forty years old. Their marital life was full of compromise and love. No crack did take place in their satisfied family life. They gave birth to six children; four daughters and two sons. His first son Qasim died at the age of two. He was nicknamed ‘Abul Qasim’ meaning the father of Qasim. Second son Abdullah died in infancy. The four daughters were Zainab, Ruqiyya, Ummu Kulthoom and Fatima Radhiyallahu anhunna.

Gets The prophethood

Till the age of forty he spent a variety life without engaging in any vice. When he reached forty he spent more of his time in deep meditations. He withdrew into the mountains to meditate and pray. Often he went to the mount Hira and meditated lonely there. He took food with him and Khadeeja Radhiyallahu anha was well co-operating with him. And Khadeeja Radhiyallahu anha was well co – operating with him. One day it happened. It was a rare incident that changed his personal life and changed the world history.

One day a total stranger appeared before him. He said to him ‘Iqra’ meaning read or recite. Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam replied: ‘I am not a reader’ as he had not received any formal education and did not know how to read or write. Then stranger embraced him until he reached the limit of his endurance and after releasing said: ‘Iqra’. Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam‘s answer was the same as before. The stranger repeated the embrace for the third time and asked him to repeat and said;

‘Recite in the name of your lord who created man from that which clings.

Recite; thy lord is most Beautiful, he who has taught by the pen,

Taught man what he knew not’

Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam was terrified by the whole experience and suddenly fled out of the cave. When he reached his home tired and frightened, asked his wife ‘cover me, cover me in a blanket. After his fear became less his lovely wife asked him about the reason of his great anxiety and fear. Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam explained what happened. Hearing the whole story Khadeeja Radhiyallahu anha consoled him, saying. ‘Allah will not let you down because you are kind to relatives, you speak only truth you help poor, the orphan and the needy and you are an honest man’.

An old hermit who knows previous scriptures well was there. His name was Waraqat-bin- Naufal and was a relative of Khadeeja Radhiyallahu anha. Khadeeja Radhiyallahu anha consulted with him and explained what happened to his husband. Waraqat confirmed to her that the visitor was none other than the Angel Jibreel Alaihissalam who had come to Moosa Alaihissalam. He added that Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam is the messenger of Allah. Then he said worriedly. ‘Your society will drop you out, if I were alive then, I would be with you’. With great surprise Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam asked the priest. ‘Will they drop me out?’
Few days passed silently. One day holy message was revealed again.

‘O thou wrapped up

Arise and deliver warning

And thy Lord do thou magnify’

Thus Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam was appointed as the Messenger of Allah. In the beginning his propagation was secret. Later he determined to announce his message publicly. One day climbing on mountain Safa, he called the Quash naming their races and tribes separately. They gathered suddenly answering his call, because they knew that ‘Al – Ameen’ would not call then without a reasonable cause, After all the people gathered, he threw a question to them ‘Do you believe if I say that a well setup army of the enemy comes towards you from behind of this mountain?’. The gathered mob suddenly replied without the lapse of a second for thought: "Certainly we shall, because you did not tell us a lie yet". After their unanimous answer Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam said: "I warn you about a great punishment that is life after death. Do worship only one god Allah. He only deserves worship. You do avoid the polytheism”. Hearing this, mob became unruly. Abu Lahab, his uncle, rebuked him saying ‘Woe on you!!! For this you called us? He started the criticism against the The prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Abu Lahab's two sons Utaba and Utaib married the The prophet’s two daughters Ruqiyya and Ummu Kulthoom. They divorced them because of these events.

Most of the people hated Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam and they misbehaved with him, only because of revealing the ultimate truth. Now they renamed him as madman and sorcerer.

After getting the prophethood, Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam spent thirteen years in Makkah, enduring the attacks of the inhabitants. Enemies used all types of worries against the believers. They sneered, boycotted and tried even to assassinate believers. They began to persecute Muslims by beating and torturing. Those who were weak, poor slaves were publicly tortured. The first person to die by these means was a Muslim woman by the name Ummu Ammar (the mother of Ammar bin yasir). The Muslims from well- to-do families were physically restrained in their homes with the condition that if thy resign from the new religion they will be allowed freedom of movement.

The prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam was publicly ridiculed and humiliated, including frequent throwing of filth on him in the street and while he prayed in Ka'bah. In spite of great hardships and no apparent support, the message of Islam kept all Muslims firm in their belief. The prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam was asked by god to be patient and to preach the message of Islam. He advised Muslims to remain patient. He sent some people to Abyssinia (Now Ethiopia) as refugees, when the persecution became unbearable. It was in the fifth year of his mission. A rajah (Negus) was the then ruler of Abyssinia. He gave proper shelter and promised safety to all Muslims. No sooner had the Muslims left Makkah than the leaders of the Quraish discovered their flight. They decided to not leave the Muslims in peace and immediately sent two of their envoys to Negus to bring all of them back. But their plot collapsed because of the firm stand of Negus. He questioned the envoy and enquired about the new religion and the holy prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Finally Negus allowed Muslims to stay under his protection. Thus the emigrants were allowed freedom of worship in Abyssinia. Understanding the The prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam’s proceeding with his mission, Enemies decided to plan a variety of trick. They approached Abu Twalib. Abu Twalib was a respected person in the society for he was the custodian of the Ka’bah. He had not accepted Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam’s preaching but he protected him from the enemies. They presented a minimum package before Abu Twalib, containing attractive offers.

“If Muhammad wants to be a king we are ready to make him our king. If he wants to be the richest man of the Makkah we will made him so. Or if he wants to marry a beautiful girl we are ready to give him the most
beautiful girl of Makkah. But our only request is that he should stop the protest against our gods”

Had his intention a materialistic one that was a golden opportunity. But when Abu Twalib exchanged these words to the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam he replied rather strong than he proclaimed before.

‘O uncle, if they were to put the sun in my right hand and the moon in my left hand to stop, I would keep preaching until Allah would make Islam prevail or I die’

Hearing these firm and innocent words Abu Twalib said; ‘say what perceived to you. I will not spare you to them as far as I alive’ He kept his promise and became a shadow and support to the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam till he dies.

Umar Radhiyallahu anhu comes

Umar and Hamza’s embrace of Islam strengthened the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam and his companions. Both were very brave and strong youths of Makkah. Umar Radhiyallahu anhu had come to cut the head of the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam. But in the way he is said that his sister herself and her husband were embraced Islam. Burning with fury he ran to them with unsheathed sword. Reaching there he asked about the holy verses of Quran and he attacked his sister and her husband but eventually he became calm and quiet hearing the enchanted word of Quran. A great change took place in his mind and he ran to the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam, not to take his head but to accept the holy message of Islam. Umer’s coming to Islam was an important turning point in the history of Islam .Till then Muslim used to pray very secretly and after his entry they publicly prayed in the Kaaba .Many people who were afraid of accepting Islam embraced Islam.

Enemies became in total confusion. They decided to double hostility against Muslims. They mercilessly tortured Muslims. Bilal Radhiyallahu anhu, a Negro Muslim slave, was tortured brutally by his master. He put Bilal Radhiyallahu anhu on the hot sand of the desert, nakedly. His hands were tied with chains. They put heavy rocks upon his stomach. But he tolerated it without any fear and shouted “Allah is one, Allah is one”. His miseries lasted till Aboobakker Radhiyallahu anhu bought him with a huge amount and released.

Social boycott

Leaders of enemies called a meeting at Kaaba to discuss the matters pertaining to Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam and his followers. They decided to cut off all the connections with Abu Twalib family .They displayed a notice on Ka'bah calling that any Makkah inhabitants should not co-operate with the Abu Thalib‘s family economically and socially. Chief brain behind this plot was Abu Lahab.

Abu Twalib was not ready to surrender before this severe boycott. They transferred their stay into a valley owned by Abu Twalib. The ban was lifted. They found their secret document on the terms of ban, which they had stored in Ka'bah, was eaten by worms and all that was left were the opening words in the name of Allah

Just after social ban was lifted, the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam faced personal grief. He himself named that year as ‘the year of sorrow’. It was the death of Khadeeja Radhiyallahu anha, his beloved wife, and Abu Thalib, his uncle. Khadeeja Radhiyallahu anha was the prime assistant to his noble duty. She dedicated her health and wealth for the sake of Islam. Her memory remained in the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam’s mind, till his departure from this world. Abu Thalib’s death occurred before his recovering from the shock of Khadeeja Radhiyallahu anha’s death. Abu Twalib was very considerate of him and he sincerely loved the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam. He became happy in the raise of Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam and released from his entire crisis.

A miracle journey

Allah cooled the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam with his strange experiences. He experienced two miracle journeys i.e., Isra’u and Mi’uraj. In the Isra’u Jibreel Alaihissalam took the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam from the sacred mosque near Kaaba to the farthest mosque (Al aqsa) in Jerusalem in a very short time in a latter part of the night .Here the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam met with previous prophets (Ibrahim Alaihissalam , Moosa Alaihissalam , Eesa Alaihissalam and others) and he led them in prayer . After this in the mire the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam was taken up to heaven and skies to show the signs of Allah. In this miracle journey he was presented five daily prayers. He was then taken back to Makkah, the whole experience lasting a few hours of night.

Next day the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam announced what he experienced. Upon hearing this , the people of Makkah mocked at him .However , when his specific description of Jerusalem (they know that he did not visit Jerusalem earlier ) other things on the way , and the caravan that he saw on this journey including its expected arrival at Makkah turned out to be true, the ridicule of the non-believers stopped. When Aboo Bakar Radhiyallahu anhu, the favorite companion of the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam heard the event from a person he replied without a second thought “if the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam said this, it would be of course true”. After this event the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam named him as sideeque (very truthful).

Migration (Hijra)

Enemies continued their attacks and assaults. Abu Thalib's death and his non –belief in Islam stimulated the enemies. When their attacks reached at the apex stage the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam decided to go to Thaif, where he had many relatives. But unfortunately, they flatly refused him, mocked at him and severely injured him by inciting their children to throw stones at him. But even then he tolerated. Jibreel Alaihissalam visited the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam suggesting that the angels were ready to destroy the town if he would permit. The prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam rejected the offer and prayed for their goodness. It was the unmatched event in the world history.

Finally they decided to move from Makkah for the freedom of worship and safety of belief. He contacted with the leaders of Yathrib (Madina). They admitted to give refuge for the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam and his followers. Just after getting the order from Allah, he gave permission to his followers for migration to Madina. Believers migrated to Yathrib in small groups, leaving behind their properties and homes.

The leaders of Quraish planned to kill the prophet Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam. They understood that this was the appropriate time to do it because almost all of his followers had left Makkah. They developed and idea in which one man was chosen from each of the Quraish tribes and they were to attack the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam simultaneously. Jibreel Alaihissalam informed the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam of the plan and instincted him to leave Makkah immediately, the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam surprisingly escaped from Makkah along with Aboobacker Radhiyallahu anhu in the night he was to be assassinated. They went to the cave Thour. Upon discovery of his escape, the leaders of Quraish put up a reward of one hundred camels on him dead or alive. In spite of their vigilant search Allah protected him and got arrived safely at Yathrib.

This event is known as the Hijra (migration) and the Islamic calendar begins with this event. The people of Yathrib were prosperous masses. They heartily welcomed him. They offered all helps from their part towards the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam and his followers. By renaming Yathrib as ‘Madeenathurasulaullah’ (city of messenger of Allah) they dedicated their selves to the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Later the name ‘Madina’ became popular. The prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam appreciated them by calling them ‘Ansar’ (assistants). Those who came from Makkah were known as Muhajirs (migrants)

Second phase of the propagation

Second phase of the propagation began at Madina. Now they got sufficient freedom of worship. Besides, inhabitants of Madina more or less completely, embraced Islam. A great revolution took place in their minds. The war between Gouse and Khazraj, two famous tribes in Madina, which started hundred years ago and still continuing , stopped because the intervention of the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam . He taught them that all are brothers and sisters. There occurred communal harmony and mutual brotherhood.

To ensure peace and tranquility the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam proposed some treaties defining terms of conduct for all Muslims and non Muslims and Arabs and Jews.

After his migration to Madina, the enemies of Islam increased their assault from all sides. They tried their best to uproot the new religion. Many conspiracies and plots occurred. They tried to influence Jews who were contracted to the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam

After the order of war from Allah they fought the battles of Badr, Uhud and many other wars to defend the attack of the enemies. From them Badr was very important. It was the first war which fought against the enemy. Muslims who consisted of three hundred thirteen men fought against one thousand enemies who were well set up and armed completely. On the Muslim part major positions were unarmed. Just before starting the war The prophet was seen prostrated and prayed to Allah ‘O Allah , if this tiny group of believers fails today , there will have none on earth who offers worship to you , help us for the existence of this religion’.

The prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam was very active in Madina. He dealt all the matters at best.

Marriages and family life

After khadeeja’s death, the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam married a widowed woman whose husband was died and she was left completely desolate. Later he married Aisha Radhiyallahu anha, the daughter of Aboobacker Radhiyallahu anhu. Aysha Radhiyallahu anha was an extraordinary wise woman .Many teaching and sayings from the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam were got to the world from her experiences.

The prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam married, totally, nine women. All of the ladies, he took as his wives, were either widowed or divorced except Aysha Radhiyallahu anha. The prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam ‘s marriages provided security to woman who would have other wise remained unmarried , unprotected or felt humiliated .His marriages were also a means of transmitting important teachings of Islam. The prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam‘s wives were called ‘the mothers of believers’ .Nobody can marry them after his death. This condition put to sustain their glory till the last day. The prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam did justice to all of his wives. He distributed his total days among his wives. Some old wives donated their turn to Aysha Radhiyallahu anha. No considerable disputes took place among the wives .It was a satisfied family life. One day all wives together applied a memorandum before the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam, demanding more facilities to them. The prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam replied ‘I cannot give you sufficient livelihood. If you prefer materialistic pleasures let me spare you. Or if you prefer Allah, his messenger and the life after death, be patient’. Hearing these noble words their mind danged and they said unanimously ‘we prefer Allah and His messenger’.

The prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam lived almost simple and modest life. Many days had passed in his house, without any smoke in the oven. He and his family used to go without cooked meal several days at a time, relying on dates, dried bread and water. It is rare in his life the day in which he filled his belly.

He was a great ruler of a vast kingdom. But his residence, rather his hut was built of unfurnaced bricks. His bed was made of the floor of the date palms. One day some of his comrades asked him ‘let us made a mat for you?!’ The prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam replied with a smile’ what relation between me and this world?! A traveler takes rest on a shadow of a tree in his way. After sometime he departs from there’. Had our modern luxurious rulers studied these lessons!

Triumphant victory of Makkah

A very systematic social setup was formed in Madina. Now it became the cradle of brotherhood and equality. It became the model to all universes. The prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam was well aware of the enemies’ return .He decided to march to Makkah before enemies come to him. He intended to liberate Ka'bah, the house which is built for the worship of some gods, from the idol worshippers and to purify it. The prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam moved to Makkah with one thousand people with him. He planned a tremendous revolution over Makkah but without shedding even one drop of blood. Before entering the city he sent word to citizens of Makkah that anyone who remained in his home, or in Abusufyan‘s home or in the Ka'bah would be safe. Observers of enemies reported to their leaders that the army was in big in size so they cannot fight them. The leader of the enemy surrendered before the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam. The prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam ordered the army to enter to Makah. They shouted ‘Alllahu Akbar’ (Allah is the great) they got simple and easy victory over Makkah .It was totally a revolution without blood-shedding. In the history of the world it remains unmatched. The people of Makkah expected genocide in view of their persecution and torture of Muslims for the past twenty years. While standing by the Ka'bah The prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam promised clemency for the Makkah stating ‘O Quraish what do you think that I am about to do with you?’ they replied ‘good, you are a noble brother. Son of a noble brother. The prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam forgave them all saying ‘I will treat you as the prophet Yusuf Alaihissalam treated his brothers. There is no reproach against you. Go your homes and you are all free’. Incredible moments!! .They shed tears of joy. They repented from mistakes and embraced Islam

The prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam entered Ka'bah and pointed at each idol with a stick he got in his hand and said ‘Truth has arrived and falsehood perished, for falsehood is bound to perish’ and one by one idols fell down. The Ka’bah was then cleansed by the removal of all three hundred and sixty idols, and it was restored to its unspoiled status for the worship of one true God. Proclaiming the oneness of God Bilal Radhiyallahu anhu shouted from the top of Ka'bah 'Alllahu Akbar'. After one month the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam returned to Madina. He proposed Khathab bin Asak Radhiyallahu anhu who was embraced Islam at the time of Makkah victory as the governor of it. This technique was well paid off. Many people who were in confusion accepted Islam seeing their unique equality and concern.


Pilgrimage of The prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam (Hajj)

The prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam reached Makkah again with one lakh followers at the tenth of Hijra. He performed his first and last complete Hajj. There he delivered a lecture to the lakhs of Muslims. This is known as his farewell speech. The lecture was a great emancipation proclamation. He touched all the important matters in his long speech. Here Islam became a complete religion and a code of life. Qur'an says ‘

The prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam‘s death

Two months after the pilgrimage, Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam fell ill and after several days he bid farewell from this world on Monday , twelfth of Rabeeul Awwal in the eleventh year after Hijra (June , 8, 632 /CE ) in Madina. Madina city became sadder; they could not even speak a single word. Even Umar Radhiyallahu anhu, the bravest man, became in perplexity. Hearing the news he shouted unconsciously, raising his sword ‘I will take the head of the person who says messenger of Allah died’. He ran to and fro without any control. All remained silently without knowing what to do. At this critical juncture Aboo Baker Sidheeque Radhiyallahu anhu came to the site .He displayed his maturity and rose according to the situation, controlling his grief. He stood before the prophet’s holy body with respect and kissed his forehead. Then he spoke to the mob that are in utter confusion. His words flowed out of his mouth "if anyone had worshipped Muhammad, he is dead. If any one worshipped Allah, he will remain forever!". These sharp words penetrated into Umar (R)’s heart .Unknowingly his sword fell down. Now he became calm and quite.

The prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam was the great model to all the world .He played many roles at the same time .He was the head of the state, chief justice, commander-in chief, arbitrator, instructor and family man. But in spite of these great roles he left nothing to be inherited except a white mule (A gift of Muqawqis), a few ammunition and a piece of land that he had made a gift during his lifetime. Among his last words is "we, the community of the prophets, are not inherited. What ever we leave is for charity"

ALLAH, THE CREATOR

  If we look into our surroundings we can see that every thing is prone to change. Nothing continues without change. So everything in the nature is created. No action in the universe takes place without a doer.

Look into your room. Radio, computer system, clock, and furniture and so on… every thing is created. Can you argue that all these things took their shapes by mere chance? An intelligent person only can argue that these are the result of the action of someone who has intelligence and ability enough to do these things.

We believe that man is the noble being in the universe. Likewise this gigantic universe with its wonderful order notwithstanding its huge size and vastness necessarily demands a Creator who is able and wise.

We, human beings, reasonably believe that there is no other being in the universe as powerful as ourselves. We boast of having intelligence and ability to find newer and newer things. We found America. We found Australia. We put our feet on moon. We found new stars and galaxies. We made computer. We made life easier by new means of transportation. We produced new productions quickly by modern machines and saved a lot of energy. We introduced new medicines for almost all deceases that had posed challenges to the humankind. And we almost reached on the brink of controlling death itself (which is really impossible). And we did such baffling things which were unimaginable to the people who lived a half century ago.

By boasting by these gains and findings really he is trying to forget his own past while he was nothing. Then he was a clot. Then he passed many stages in the development of the clot into a complete human being. Really he was not aware of the changes that took place in him in the past. And even now does he know completely about any process that he is subjected to in the present time. The answer is a big NO. Then who created him? Did he create himself? Or was he created of nothing? No one can answer the questions in positive, because modern scientific inventions asserted in no uncertain terms the complexity of human body and all other living organs. The newer findings in biology tell us that the creation of the living cells is hitherto beyond the ability of the most modern man who is boasting of his intelligence. If the modern man is unable to create a single living cell we can surly believe that the old generation in no way was able to create the human beings.

The latest findings in Cosmology also belittles the man and makes him wonder as to who is the one who created all these objects in the universe.
And if we give a chance to the chance the result will not be different. Suppose you are traveling through a lonely desert. You found there a Benz car. Can you assume that the various parts of the car assembled by chance into such a nice vehicle? If your reason tells you YES no one can save you. If it answers NO then you should find a creator for the universe and the things in it, because the chance cannot do any thing.

So a good thought about the surroundings brings us into an Almighty and Powerful Creator, ALLAH.

What do Muslims believe about Allah?

1. He is the one God, Who has no partner.

2. Nothing is like Him. He is the Creator, not created, nor a part of His creation.

3. He is All-Powerful, absolutely just.

4. There is no other entity in the entire universe worthy of worship besides Him.

5. He is First, Last, and Everlasting; He was when nothing was, and will be when nothing else remains.

6. He is the All-Knowing, and All-Merciful, the Supreme, the Sovereign.

7. It is only He who is capable of granting life to anything.

8. He sent His Messengers (peace be upon them) to guide all of mankind.

9. He sent Muhammad (peace be upon him) as the last Prophet and Messenger for all mankind.

10. His book is the Holy Qur'an, the only authentic revealed book in the world that has been kept without change.

11. Allah knows what is in our hearts.
