You may be a Christian Protestant, Catholic, Jew, an atheist or an
agnostic; or you may belong to any of many different religious
denominations existing in today's world. You might even be a communist
or believe in man's democracy as the rule on earth.
Whoever you are and whatever ideological or political beliefs, social
habits you may hold, there is no doubt -
You Must Know This MAN - MUHAMMAD (peace be upon him).
He was by far the most remarkable man that ever set foot on this
earth. He preached a religion, founded a state, built a nation, laid
down a moral code, initiated numerous social and political reforms,
established a powerful and dynamic society to practice and represent
his teachings and completely revolutionized the worlds of human
thought and behavior for all times to come.
"HIS NAME IS MUHAMMAD" (peace be upon him)
He was born in Arabia in the year 570 C.E. (Common Era), started his
mission of preaching the religion of Truth, Islam (submission to One
God at the age of forty and departed from this world at the age of
sixty-three.
During this short period of 23 years of his prophethood, he changed
the complete Arabian Peninsula from paganism and idolatry to worship
of One God, from tribal quarrels and wars to national solidarity and
cohesion, from drunkenness and debauchery to sobriety and piety, from
lawlessness and anarchy to disciplined living, from utter bankruptcy
to the highest standards of moral excellence. Human history has never
known such a complete transformation of a people or a place before or
since - and IMAGINE all these unbelievable wonders in JUST OVER TWO
DECADES.
The world has had its share of great personalities. But these were one
sided figures who distinguished themselves in but one or two field,
such as religious thought or military leadership. The lives and
teachings of these great personalities of the world are shrouded in
the mist of time. There is so much speculation about the time and
place their birth, the mode and style of their life, the nature and
detail of their teachings and the degree and measure of their success
or failure that is impossible for humanity to reconstruct accurately
the lives and teachings of these men.
Not so this man. Muhammad (peace be upon him) accomplished so much in
such diverse fields of human thought and behavior in the fullest blaze
of human history. Every detail of his private life and public
utterances has been accurately documented and faithfully preserved to
our day. The authenticity of the records so preserved are vouched for
not only by the faithful followers but even by his prejudiced
critics.
Muhammad (peace be upon him) was a religious teacher, a social
reformer, a moral guide, an administrative colossus, a faithful
friend, a wonderful companion, a devoted husband, a loving father -
all in one. No other man in history ever excelled or equaled him in
any of these different aspects of life - but it was only for the
selfless personality of Muhammad (peace be upon him) to achieve such
incredible perfection.
Muhammad (peace be upon him) was nothing more or less than a human
being. But he was a man with a noble mission, which was to unite
humanity on the worship of ONE and ONLY ONE GOD and to teach them the
way to honest and upright living based on the commands of God. He
always described himself as, 'A Servant and Messenger of God' and so
indeed every action of his proclaimed to be.
Today after a lapse of fourteen centuries, the life and teachings of
Muhammad (peace be upon him) have survived without the slightest loss,
alteration or interpolation. They offer the same undying hope for
treating mankind's many ills, which they did when he was alive. This
is not a claim of Mohammed's (peace be upon him) followers, but the
inescapable conclusion forced upon by a critical and unbiased
history.
The least YOU can do as a thinking and concerned human being is to
stop for a moment and ask your self: Could these statements sounding
so extraordinary and revolutionary really be true? And supposing they
really are true and you did not know this man MUHAMMAD (peace be upon
him) or hear about him, isn't it time you responded to this tremendous
challenge and put in some effort to know him?
It will cost you nothing, but it may prove to be the beginning of a
completely new era in your life. By Eng. Husain Pasha.
We invite you to make a discovery of this wonderful man, MUHAMMAD
(peace be upon him), the like of whom never walked on the face of this
earth.
