| Hazrat
Muhammad (S.A.W.W) For
the guidance of the faithful , Allah has sent 1 lakh 24 thousand messangers among
which are 313 prophets . Among the prophets are 5 most important who have the
title of " ULLUL AZAM ". Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W.W) is the last prophet
and messanger of Allah and the most exalted among them . There will be no prophet
after him . In the holy Quran Allah has called him " Khatam Un Nabieen "
. Allah has created him from His own light ( Noor ), as he is spiritual hence
he did not have a shadow . The Prophet (S.A.W.W) has said;
"AWWAL
O MA KHALAKA NOORI." Allah
has created my light ( Noor ) the foremost . Allah has created the Prophet's (S.A.W.W)
noor millions of years before Hazrat Adam (A.S) but he was born on 17th Rabi-ul-Awal
at dawn on friday at Mecca in 1st Aamul Feel . The ruler at that time was Nausherwan
Adil . At the time of Prophet's (S.A.W.W) birth the whole world was lightened
and he prostrated before Allah , then raised his head , praised Allah and recite
Kalama-e-Shahdat.
His father
Hazrat Abdullah died a few months before his birth and his mother Bibi Amina binte
Wahab died when he was 6 years of age . Then his grand father Abdul Mutallib brought
him up but he also died at the age of 10 years when the Prophet (S.A.W.W) was
8 years old . His uncle Abu Talib and his wife Fatima binte Asad brought him up
, watched over him , and got him married to Bibi Khadija.
Our Prophet's
(S.A.W.W) character was a symbol of guidance in the inhumane Arab society , people
called him by the names of " Ameen and Sadiq."
but he declared his Prophethood only at the command of Allah at the age of 40
years . These Arabs who were so impressed by his character now turned hostile
and threw stones at him and laid thorns on the roads, they tortured him and believers
of Islam , but he preached in Mecca for 13 years but when they become very harmful
, on the command of Allah he migrated to Madina . But the non-believers
did not let him sit in peace , they fought battles against him , 26 battles were
fought for the safeguard of Islam among which Battle of Badar , Battle of Ohad
, Battle of Khandak,Battle of Hunain etc are famous battles . He lived for 10
years in Madina and while fighting battles , he also spread Islam through out
the world . He died 10 years after migration to Madina . Hazrat Ali (A.S)
bathed , shrouded and burried him , in the same place where he passed away.
