“His readiness to undergo persecutions for his beliefs, the high moral character of the men who believed in him and looked up to him as leader, and the greatness of his ultimate achievement”

Celebrating the Birth
The Blessed Birth Print E-mail
Written by Fethullah Gülen   

The birth of the Prophet Muhammad, the Pride of Humanity, peace and blessings be upon him, can be seen in the light of being the re-birth of all humanity. Until the day the Prophet honored this world, it was not possible to discern good from evil, day from night, or the rose from the thorn. It was as if the world was the abode of universal mourning, and the cosmos was lost in chaos. Thanks to the light he cast upon existence, darkness parted from light, night suffused into day, and the universe was transformed into a book that was now legible, word by word, phrase by phrase, section by section . . . the entire cosmos had in a sense undergone a revival and had nearly attained its true value.
 
The Prophet Muhammad Print E-mail

The Prophet Muhammad was born on 20 April 571, on a Monday, in Mecca. The Hashim family he was born into was a branch of the noble and powerful Quraysh tribe. His father, Abd Allah, was a tradesman, and he died before he was born. His mother, Amina, lived until he was six. The orphan Muhammad was taken care of first by his grandfather Abd al-Muttalib for two years, and later by his uncle Abu Talib upon the grandfather's will.
 
On the Perfecting of a Prophet Print E-mail
Written by Kathleen St. Onge   

It is one of the articles of faith of Islam to believe in the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. So when anyone casts a shadow on his character, the Muslim world feels deeply antagonized. Yet some remarks are extreme in their negativity and many non-Muslims really question the Prophet of Islam—who is he, and why do Muslims embrace him so completely? When I first came to Islam from Christianity almost two years ago, I asked myself this question, too. Muslims believed in him purely from their hearts. I admired them, but I was still captive of a secular, overly rational mindset. If I were going to accept the Prophet fully, it would have to “make sense” logically.
