Bismillah Hirrahman Nirrahim The Blackstone Muhammed(PBUH)'s company and wise counsel were greatly sought after. It is said that once when the sacred Kabah was being rebuilt after a serious flood had damaged its walls, a disagreement arouse among-st the 4 main tribe of the Quraysh as to which tribe should have the honor of replacing the sacred Blackstone. A skirmish was about to begin, when one of the elders suggested a solution: "Make the first to enter the gate your judge", he said they all looked, and to their great joy,  Muhammed(PBUH) entered. ' It is Al Ameen the Trustworthy', They cried. Muhammed(PBUH) saw what was happening and he asked for a piece of cloth to be brought. He laid the blackstone upon the cloth and told the members of each of the 4 tribes to hold the corners of the cloth and raise the stone as he, himself, eased it into its position. So he ended the quarrel and with it the treat of  war.  The Arabs of his time had

Bismillah Hirrahman Nirrahim The Trustworthy As a young man, Muhammed (PBUH) became known to everybody as Al Ameen, 'The Trustworthy' because of his honesty and noble character. His uncle loved him dearly and would take him on trading journey to Syria. This gave the opportunity to learn how to earn his living as a trader. He managed business well although he was relatively poor, Muhammed (PBUH) 's truthfulness and generous nature made him trusted and loved by everyone who knew him. There lived in Makkah one of the most honorable of ladies her name was Khadeejah. Muhammed(PBUH) had worked for her and at the age of 25 he received from her an indirect proposal of marriage. Although she was his senior and twice widowed, Muhammed(PBUH) accepted her offer.  They were married and lived a happy life. She bore him 2 sons and 4 daughters.

Bismillah Hirrahman Nirrahim Polytheists and Idols Polytheism, the cult of worshiping idols, was practiced by almost everyone. By everlasting religion and legacy of Abraham 'The worship of one true God alone had been buried and forgotten with time'. Over the years, some 360 idols and statues of false Gods had been installed in and around the Holy Kabah, worshiped as lords and intercessors. Even the followers of Moses and Jesus had diverged from the universality and teachings of the pure monotheistic faith of Abraham and had divided themselves into many separate sects and tribes. But Muhammed (PBUH), was an exceptional figure. He did not take part in any of this. It became his habit in later years to retreat to an isolated cave in the nearby mountain called Hira, not far from Makkah, to bare his heart and pray in search of Truth. With no sound but the stirring wind, he would contemplate, in his solitude, the signs of the universe.  Inshallah in next

Bismillah Hirrahman Nirrahim  Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) Muhammad sallalaahu alaihi wasallam peace and blessing of Allah be upon him was a symbol of light and guidance for all time and for all people. He was the last messenger of God to humanity, the seal of prophets. To the oneness of God he called ' La illaha illallah muhammadur rasoolallah ' : There is none worthy of worship except Allah, Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. This is the life and message of Islam. Muhammad (PBUH), the last prophet was born in desert land of Arabia almost 600 years after Isa (Jesus) (PBUH) in the city of Makkah. Located in a deep valley surrounded by a certain of black and brown jagged mountains. Muhammad (PBUH) was an orphan. His father had died before he was born. By the tender age of 6, his mother Ameenah also died. He was left all alone to be brought up by his grandfather Abd al -Muttallib and later under the care of his paternal uncle Abu Talib.  Makkah

Bismillah Hirrahman Nirrahim  Isa Alaihissalam (Jesus) Isa Alaihissalam (Jesus)was born in a place called Bethlehem near Jerusalem . Prophet Isa had a miraculous birth. He was born to the virgin Maryam(Peace Be Upon Her) without a father, by Allah's command(19:17-21). Allah(SWT) again sent a Prophet to bring them back to the right path. This Prophet Prophet was Isa Alaihissalam son of Maryam (Mary)(2:87). Allah(SWT) bestowed on him the Injil(Gospel) and Isa Alaihissalam confirmed what  was in the Tawrah(Torah)(5:46,61:6). Isa Alaihissalam born to a virgin Maryam(PBUH), could talk even as a baby. He was made a Prophet at the age of 30 and he did his duty as a Prophet for 3 years(19:29-34). When the angels said: O, Maryam(PBUH)!

Bismillah Hirrahman Nirrahim Musa Alaihissalam (Moses) Musa Alaihissalam (Moses), the son of "Imran", was born in Egypt 450 years after Yusuf(PBUH)(Joseph). At that time the kings in Egypt were known as Firaun(Pharaoh). The followers of Prophet Yaqub, father of Prophet Yusuf are called "Bani Israel"(Israelites). Bani Israel lived in Egypt since the days of Prophet Yusuf. Prophet Yaqub was known as Israel.   Firaun the ruler of Egypt, looked the Bani Israel as 'Foreigners' and treated them badly. He feared that one day Bani Israel would grow in number and be powerful. So Firaun issued orders to kill every male child born in the family of Israel(28:4-6). Musa(PBUH) was born in this critical time. His Mother managed to conceal him for three months and when she could not manage any longer, she was inspired by Allah(SWT) to put Musa(PBUH) in a waterproof basket and throw it into the river(20:38-39). Maryam Musa's sister was asked to watch th
