In the name of Allah…
About 2 billion (200 crore) people, seek solutions for
their problems from this Great Personality.
In
the world’s population ratio, every 1 out of 4 people respect, regard and
revere him more than their own
souls.
WHO IS HE?
About
1484 years ago, Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was
born in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
He
was an honest and successful trader (business man) at the age of 25 and
eventually became the richest at the age of 40 in
Mecca. It was at the age of 40, when he
revealed to the people of Mecca that he was getting divinely messages from
Almighty God and that he is a Messenger of God.
So it is explicit
that he did not have to cheat people for gaining money from them as he was
already the
richest in the town. His purpose was
neither to increase his financial status, because he was even forced to
flee Mecca, his own city, leaving
behind all his property and wealth. He could have saved himself from
being forced to flee the city, by
revoking the messengerhood, which the people of Mecca were expecting
from him. However, he sacrificed all his property and wealth and left the city
of Mecca with empty hands.
Hence
his intention clearly was not to gain any wealth by misusing the God’s name due
to the reason that
he had to sacrifice all his hard earned wealth just for the sake of the keeping
God’s doctrine and principle
alive.
No one would ever come forward to lose any wealth by
misusing God’s name for gaining more wealth.
The one who wanted to gain wealth by misusing God’s name would not lose any of
that he already got.
After
he fled Mecca, he ruled Medina by making an excellent government there. If he
wanted, he could have earned lot of wealth by being a king.
™ But he did not gain or multiply any wealth for him though
he had an option to do so. ™ He did not live his life in a palace like other kings
do.
™ He
lived his whole life in a small hut.
™ He and
his family did not, regularly, even eat a stomach full of food.
™ He had
only a handful of dates and water to eat for months and was content with that.
He
had only two cloaks of dresses to wear for his whole life time and had only one
or two stitched dresses to wear in special occasions.
™ He did not even use lamp at home. He spent nights in
darkness in his entire life. ™ He could not even gain back his ‘pawned armor’ before
his death.
™ A small land, a horse and a
few goats were what he had left as inheritance before his demise. Even those, he had commanded to be accumulated to the
public property and said none of his family members should inherit them.
With such simple and
humble life, no one would ever imagine that he misused his kingdom for gaining wealth, or getting fame, or respect from the
people. If it was so, then he need not had to lose them by misusing God’s name.
™ “I do not tell you that I have the treasures
of Allah, or that I know the unseen”
™ “I
am accountable for my own mistakes”
™ “I am only a man like you” are some of the messages where
Quran commands to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
to convey to the people.
Quran
even contains verses that warn Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) on some occasions such
as “Fear them
not, fear me”, also a verse that condemns the Prophet for ignoring
a blind person when he approached
him, etc.
Being
common people, we would never come forward to do something that will diminish
our prestige and dignity in the society. But Muhammad (pbuh),
being a messenger of God, never minded to reveal the verses to the people that warn and condemn him for his
mistakes.
If
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) wanted he would have declared to the people that he was
God and no wonder people would have accepted him as God,
because he had followers who loved him so much so that they
would do anything for him for his commands. Yet, he declared himself as a
common man and not God or a part of God.
This
information is available in glorious Quran, which the Prophet affirmed to the
people as the ‘word of
God’.
If
we could give a thought on this, as to how one would ever reveal verses to the
people as God’s verses that condemns oneself a few times that brings
humiliation to his prestige and dignity, we can easily conclude that these surely can never be his own words but
the words of God.
™ There was no palanquin to him, in spite of him being a
king. ™ There
was no gatekeeper for him
™ he did
not allow people to bow down to him
™ He warned people ‘not to praise him to the extreme as
people did to Jesus, so much so that they
started worshiping Jesus as God’.
He did not like to
receive any special courtesy or even an ordinary respect from the people what
even a common man would expect to. He
neither received it as he used to mingle with people and behave with them as a common man.
He
has given solution to all the problems in the world. No wonder, George Bradshaw
praised about Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in the book ‘the
Genuine Islam’,
“If a man like him (Muhammad) were to given
the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in
solving its problems in a way that would bring it much needed peace and
happiness”.
