“He (Muhammad PBUH) must be called the savior of humanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the rule of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it much needed peace and happiness.”

—George Bernard Shaw in ‘The Genuine Islam’

“And We have not sent you,( O Muhammad),

except as a mercy unto the worlds.”

If anyone wants to know how

Muhammadملسو هيلع هللا ىلصwas a mercy

to the whole mankind, then

hundreds of books would not

be enough to contain the dif-

ferent aspects of the mercy he

was and the mercy he had

brought. However, some of the

aspects of the mercy would be

given here an account.

The entire humanity was wan-

dering in the darkness of igno-

rance and then was sent from

Allah, a Prophet which

enlightened the world.

Muhammad ملسو هيلع هللا ىلصalways tried,

to such an extent, to save the

humanity from the torments of

hell-fire, that Allah said: “(O

Muhammad), if they do not

believe in this Message, you

will perhaps fret yourself to

death with grief, sorrowing

over them.[18;6]

Muhammad ملسو هيلع هللا ىلصwas sent

to whole of the mankind.

He did not call people to his

message as an Arab nation-

alist, instead as a human

being. He said, “An Arab

was not superior to a Non-

Arab or vice-versa and nei-

ther were white superior to

black or vice-versa. All are

the family of Adam and

Adam was built of clay.

The best of you is the one

who is more fearful of his

Lord.” And so, it was his

mercy that the world was

able to see the unparalleled

„Universal Brotherhood‟ he

had brought into existence.

Before Muhammadملسو هيلع هللا ىلص

people were bound in several

superstitious rituals of their

so-called religion and had

themselves made the lives

hard. Muhammad ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص came

and made religion easy and

freed the man of the supersti-

tious bounds. As a result

when man was not allowed

to discover anything new or

research on astronomy, etc.

due to his irrational beliefs

was now able make several

scientific inventions and

discoveries resulting in the

explosion of scientific

knowledge. And so

Muhammadملسو هيلع هللا ىلصwas also a

mercy to the scientific field.

Abu Huraira narrated

Allah's Messenger

as saying: You (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص)

(people) can not

satisfy people with

your wealth, but

satisfy them with

your cheerful faces

and good charac-

ter.”

Reported by Hakim

Abu Dhar narrated

Allah's Messenger

saying: “Do not (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص)

consider any act of

goodness insignifi-

cant, even it is meet-

ing your brother with

a cheerful face.”

Reported by Muslim

L I G H T H O U S E

It is being taught in our syllabus that

Muhammadملسو هيلع هللا ىلص was the founder of

Islam. In fact, the religion (way of life)

taught by every prophet, be it Adam,

Noah, Abraham, Moses or Jesus , was

Islam, but their people invented a new

religion after the prophet had passed

away.

Muhammad ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص was the Last Prophet

in the series and he too preached Islam

as other prophets did.

It is also propagated that the followers

of Muhammad ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص are called

„Mohammedans‟. He did not preach

„Mohammedanism‟, but as said above

he preached Islam and the followers

are called Muslims.

The Man and His Message

P A G E 3

The world has had its great

share of personalities but

one personality that out-

shines them all is that of the

last and final messenger of

Allah - Prophet

Mohammedملسو هيلع هللا ىلص. His

entire life and the message

he brought, has positively transformed lives of mil-

lions around the world and shall continue to do so.

This humble messenger came into this world to re-

vive the true message of Islam and guide mankind

towards worshipping the one true creator Allah.

Prophet Muhammadملسو هيلع هللا ىلص was born in 570 AD in

the Arabian city of Makkah in the noble tribe of

Quraish at a time when the whole of humanity was

in the darkness of an uncivilized life. By the time he

was 5 yrs old, he had lost both his parents. Right

from a young age, he disliked the pagan culture and

the polytheistic rituals around him. When he was 40,

Allah chose him to be His messenger and thus began

the revelation of the glorious Quran which contin-

ued for a span of 23 years till the time he lived.

Prophet Mohammadملسو هيلع هللا ىلص was a religious teacher, a

social reformer, a moral guide, an administrative

icon, a faithful friend, a wonderful companion, a

devoted husband, a loving father – all in one. No

other man in history ever equaled him in any of

these different aspects of life. He was a very brave

and fierce warrior on the battlefield facing the ene-

mies of Allah, but once he was off the battlefield

his eyes were downcast and he was very gentle. In

his life he had never sent anyone empty-handed. He

never said an „uff‟ to his servants. And thus he

brought the revolution that the world had not seen

before and after that.

He not only established a powerful and dynamic

society but also completely revolutionized human

thought and behavior and guided mankind towards

a way of life based on complete submission and

obedience to Allah with sincerity and peace. He

freed mankind from the slavery of other men, and

made them the slaves of the only Creator.

The Quran, the word of Allah, revealed to Prophet

Muhammad ملسو هيلع هللا ىلصand also we have the collection of

the authentic sayings of the Prophet, without the

slightest loss or alteration. Today, we have both of

these sources of guidance, which contain the way

to success in both the lives.
