Narró Abu Abdur-Rahman, Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud (que Allah esté complacido con él): Nos ha relatado el Mensajero de Alá (la paz sea con él), quien es verídico y digno de confianza: “Ciertamente que la creación de cada uno de vosotros, se reúne en el vientre de su madre: Durante cuarenta días en forma de embrión, luego lo hace en forma de coágulo por un período semejante, después como un trozo de carne por un período igual, luego le es enviado un ángel que insufla el espíritu en él, y le ordena cuatro palabras (asuntos): Escribir su sustento, el plazo de su vida, sus obras y si será feliz o desgraciado; ¡por Alá!, quien no hay otra divinidad mas que él, cualquiera de vosotros obra como una persona del Paraíso, hasta que no quede entre él y éste (paraíso) más que un brazo (de distancia), entonces lo que ha sido escrito le alcanza, y obra como las personas del fuego (del Infierno) y entra en él. Y otro de vosotros obra como una persona del fuego (del Infierno), hasta que no queda entre él y éste (infierno) que un brazo (de distancia), y entonces le alcanza lo que había sido escrito y obra como una persona del Paraíso y entra en él”.

Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings ofGod be upon him, is the man beloved by more than 1.2 billion Muslims.He is the man who taught us patience in the face of adversity, and taught us to live in this world but seek eternal life in the hereafter.It was to Prophet Muhammad that God revealedthe Quran.Along with this Book of guidance God sent Prophet Muhammad, whose behavior and high moral standards are an example to us all.Prophet Muhammad’s life was the Quran.He understood it, he loved it and he lived his life based on its standards. He taught us to recite Quran, to live by its principles and to love it.When Muslims declare their faith in One God, they also declare their belief that Muhammad is the slave and final messenger of God.When a Muslim hears Muhammad’s name mentioned they ask God to send blessings upon him.Prophet Muhammad was a man, a human being just like any other man, but it is his love for humanity that sets him apart.Muslims love Prophet Muhammad, but it is his love for us, that makes him a man like no other.He longed for Paradise not only for himself but also for all of us.He wept tears not for himself but for his Ummah (1), and for humanity.He was often heard to cry “O God, my Ummah, my Ummah”.
Muslims also believe in the same Prophets mentioned in Jewish and Christian traditions, including Noah, Moses, Abraham and Jesus, and they believe that all prophets came with the same message –to worship God alone, without partners, sons or daughters.There is a difference, however, between all other prophets and Prophet Muhammad.Before Muhammad, prophets were sent to particular people in particular places and periods.Muhammad however, is the final Prophet and his message is for all of humankind.God tells us in Quran that He did not send Prophet Muhammad except as a mercy for humankind.
“And we have sent you O Muhammad, not but as a mercy for humankind and all that exists.”(Quran 21:107)God did not say Muhammad was sent to the people of Arabia, or to men, or to the people of the 7thcentury.He made it clear that Prophet Muhammad was a prophet like no other, one whose message would spread far and wide and be applicable in all places for all times.Muslims love him, respect him and follow him.They hold him in such regard that for many it is emotionally painful to see or hear their beloved mentor ridiculed or disrespected.Throughout history and around the world non-Muslims have shown great respect and honour to Prophet Muhammad and he is considered influential in both religious and secular matters.Mahatma Ghandi described him as scrupulous about pledges, intense in his devotion to his friends and followers, intrepid, fearless, and with absolute trust in God and in his own mission.Prophet Muhammad taught Islam as a way of life, founded an empire, laid down a moral code and instituted a code of law focusing on respect, tolerance and justice..(2)
What is it about Prophet Muhammad that inspires such devotion?Is it his gentle and loving nature, his kindness and generosity or is it his ability to empathise with all of humanity?Muhammad was a selfless man who devoted the last 23 years of his life to teaching his companions and followers how to worship God and how to respect humanity.
Prophet Muhammad was acutely aware of just how much responsibility had been thrust upon him by God.He was careful to teach the message just as God had prescribed and warned his followers not to adulate him the way Jesus, son of Mary was praised.(3)
Muslims do not worship Prophet Muhammad; they understand that he is only a man.However, he is a man worthy of our utmost respect and love. Prophet Muhammad loved humanity so much that he would weep out of fear for them.He loved his Ummah with such deep and profound devotion that God remarked on the depth of his love for us in Quran.
“Verily, there has come unto you a Messenger (Muhammad) from amongst yourselves.It grieves him that you should receive any injury or difficulty.He (Muhammad) is anxious over you (to be rightly guided, to repent to God, and beg Him to pardon and forgive your sins, in order that you may enter Paradise and be saved from the punishment of the Hell-fire), for the believers he is full of pity, kind, and merciful.
” (Quran 9:128)Prophet Muhammad taught us to love God and to obey Him.He taught us to be kind to each other, to respect our elders, and care for our children.He taught us that it was better to give than to receive and that each human life is worthy of respect and dignity.
He taught us to love for our brothers and sisters what we love for ourselves.Prophet Muhammad taught us that families and communities are essential, and he pointed out that individual rights although important are not more important than a stable, moral society.Prophet Muhammad taught us that men and women are equal in the sight of God and that no one person is better then another except in respect to his or her piety and devotion to God.
Who is Prophet Muhammad?Quite simply he is the man who will stand before God on the day of Requital and beg God to have mercy on us.He will intercede for us. Muslims love him because he is the slave and messenger of God, he is a mercy to humankind and his gentleness, and devotion to humanity is unprecedented.
