Arabia is a land of unparalleled charm and attractiveness, with its trackless wastelands of sand dunes and mirages in the dazzling rays of a tropical sun. Its starry atmosphere has stimulated the fantasy of poets, travelers and mystics. It was in this land, that the Holy Prophet Muhammad , on who be calm, was born in the town of Mecca, which is about fifty miles from the Red Sea. (Culled from Life of Muhammad by Sufi Mutiur Rahman Bengalee M.A. p.70)


It was in the last cited half of the sixth 100 years, when the world was fell in utter darkness that the Holy Prophet Muhammad , was born. The then renowned world stood on the verge of decimation, with disorder as the alignment of the day and pre-Islamic Arabia was no exclusion to this, rather it was in the smallest depths of abysmal darkness; infanticide was rampant, debauchery was looked upon as chivalrous, drunkenness was a widespread view and all types of bad was glorified.


J.H. Denison in his Emotions as the cornerstone of Civilization, wrote:


In the fifth and sixth centuries, the civilized world stood on the verge of disorder .... it appeared that the large civilization which had taken four 1000 years to assemble was on the verge of disintegration ... Civilization like a gigantic tree whose foliage had over-reached the world .. stood tottering .. rotted to the centre ..... It was amidst the Arabs that the man was born who was to join the entire renowned world of the East and the South.
(pp. 265-269)


The devout addition of 6th 100 years Arabia was idolatry, though there were a sprinkling of Atheists and worshippers of fantastic satellites, who suggested forfeitures to the sun, moon and other fantastic bodies. Christians and Jews were furthermore to be found. The center of Christian undertaking was al-Najran, while the Jews were intensified in Khaibar and Medina. In spite of these diverse devout notions, there was furthermore a assembly who searched to pursue the belief of their forefather Abraham.


The management of their activities, like their devout convictions was furthermore in a state of disarray. Sir William Muir had this to say:


The prospects of Arabia before the increase of Mohamet was as unfavorable to devout restructure as they were to political amalgamation or nationwide regeneration. (Life of Mohamet Intro. ch.2)

In spite of their devout and administrative partitions, the Arabs owned a amazing recollection and were an eloquent people. Their eloquence and recollection discovered sign in their poetry. Every year a equitable was held for poetical affrays at Ukaz.


In his publication The Literary History of the Arabs, R.A.Nicholson composing about the poetical proficiency of the Arabs, states:


It is associated that Hammad said to Caliph Walid receptacle Yazid: 'I can recite to you, for each note of the letters, one century long verses, without taking into account short parts, and all of that created solely by poets before the promulgation of Islam. (p. 1 32)


It is no little marvel, thus, that Allah chose an Arab and the Arabic dialect for His last dispensation and the preservation of His Word.


The status of the world in general and Arabia in specific is graphically put in the Holy Quran, when Allah says:


Corruption has emerged on land and ocean because of what men's hands have wrought. (30:42)


This is the status which is decorated by all the historians, in so numerous phrases, about the sixth century.


Before the birth of the Holy Prophet Muhammad , an Abyssinian armed detachment was on the verge of conquering Mecca. but were completely annihilated by small-pox, quotation of which is in the Holy Quran section 105. This appeared fifty three days before the birth of our Holy Prophet, on who be peace.

His father's label was Abdullah who deceased before his birth. His mother's label was Amina. A small number days after his birth, as was the individually fitted out amid the nobility of the Arabs, he was bestowed to the care of a Bedouin moist nurse. whose label was Haleema. For two years, he developed up under her care. after which. she took him back to his mother. but due to an pandemic in Mecca, he went back with Haleema for another three years.


When he returned to his mother, she took him for a visit to Medina, but on the revisit trip, she died. At the age of six, he was entrusted to the care of his grandfather Abdul Muttalib who expired two years later. At this stage he was left under the care of his uncle Abu Talib. In his early youth, he employed to are likely his uncle's flocks.


During his youth, he united a population whose strives were, to aid the poor and the needy, safeguard the privileges of the exploited and support and sustain the source of justice. He was in addition started into economic enterprises and tackled trips with caravans to Yemen and Syria. His honesty and integrity rake in him the label of Al-Amin - The Trustworthy. At the age of twenty-five, he was wedded to Khadija - a affluent widow, whose caravans he commanded. She proposed her hand to him in wed, after she accepted very good descriptions about his accomplish and honesty in the set free of his responsibilities as the chief of her caravans.


The Divine Call came to him in his fortieth year and depicting the state of psyche of the Holy Prophet, on who be serenity, Thomas Carlyle in his journal Heroes and Hero devotion writes:


The many enigma of alive, .. glared in upon him, with its terrors, with its splendors; no hearsay could obscure that unspeakable item `Here am I'. Such honesty, as we labelled it has in very certainty a thing divine. The remark of such a man is a voice from nature's own heart. Men perform and ought perceive to that and to none other - All other is airstream in comparison. From of aged a 1000 concepts, in his pilgrimings and wanderings, had been in this man: What am l? What is this unfathomable thing I inhabit in, which men call Universe? The dismal rocks of Mount Hira, of Mount Sinai, the stern solitudes replied not. The many heavens turning over silently overhead, with its sky-blue glaring stars, replied not. There was no answer. The man's soul and what of God's inspiration dwelled there had to answer. (pp. 63-64)

The first people to have agreed to his call, were his wife Khadija, his relative Ali, a released slave Zaid and his close acquaintance Abu Bakr. For three years after accepting the Divine Call, the preaching was carried out rather silently with the number of his followers advancing rapidly. After this rather silent start. the Holy Prophet , on who be serenity, was compelled to announce his communication which he accepted from Allah, publicly. Accordingly. he addressed his communication about the Unity of God and of his being the Messenger of God from every obtainable quarter.



Since this principle was menacing their very existence. the pagan Arabs commenced to get on insist on the Holy Prophet , and his followers to renounce their source and take to idol-worshipping. On one function, they conveyed a delegation to the Holy Prophet's uncle that he should constrain the Holy Prophet , from preaching his message. They vulnerable Abu Talib with their aggregated opposition. Finding himself in this state, he conveyed for the Holy Prophet , and described to him the situation. The Holy Prophet , replied with these memorable words:


My very highly charge uncle, if they should put the sun in my right hand and the moon in my left, even then I will not leave behind the proclamation of the Unity of God. I will set up the accurate trust upon the world or perish in the attempt.


Impressed with his nephew's firm desperation and high resolve. Abu Talib replied:


Son of my male kin, depart thy way, no defy contact thee. I will not ever forsake thee.


Not being gratified, they conveyed one of their chairman to persuade the Holy Prophet , and in the subsequent remarks addressed the Holy Prophet :


O Muhammad , if you like to sit on the throne of Arabia we will select in a survey you our monarch; if you like wealth we will give you no end to it and if you wish for the hand of a gorgeous woman, we are geared up to present you the most gorgeous female in the land.

The Holy Prophet , was far atop any sophisticated enticements and in response he recited some verses of the Holy Quran announcing the Unity of Allah and his allegation of being a accurate Messenger of Allah.


The Meccans were feared at the prospects of attempting to cease the improvement of Islam, so they went to bodily torment and boycott. Many influential personalities were being changed and a many mass of subsequent were uniting the faith of Islam. This in itself was a mortal danger to the alive of the Meccan chairman, since their source of livelihood was reliant from the trade which came from the traffic of idol-worshippers.


Seeing that these could not be of any help. they resolved to exercise more insist to the degree. that when the sufferings of the Muslims became agonizing, the Holy Prophet , resolved to convey some of his followers to Abyssinia to take refuge. The Meccans in their quest to put an end to the new faith, conveyed a deputation to the ruler, looking for the revisit of the refugees. The ruler summoned the refugees and quizzed them about their beliefs. Being gratified, that they were no danger to the state, he turned down to hand them over and was sold on that the revelations of the Holy Prophet , and that of Jesus sprang from the matching fountain.


The nonachievement of the Abyssinian delegation, humiliated the Meccans. They guaranteed to fully completed boycott the family who vindicated the Holy Prophet, on who be peace. Every kind of bond was slice off, even sustenance and water were rejected them. The family who vindicated the Holy Prophet, on who be serenity, were in a determined circumstances and they along with the Holy Prophet, on who be serenity, and his followers had to take refuge in the Vale of Abu Talib from where they could not elude for dread of their lives. They tolerated starvation, private indignities and humiliation of every kind. This siege carried on for three years; in the meantime, the Declaration of Boycott which was suspended on the dividers of the Kaaba had been demolished and the hearts of some of the opposition were appeased. These new-found acquaintances were bold adequate to liberate the guiltless sufferers from their plight.


With the boycott finished, the Holy Prophet, on who be serenity, and a companion went to Taif to request the population there to Islam, but he faced the matching destiny of rejection. The chairman of Taif conveyed some youths after them. They were stoned mercilessly, to the purpose of fainting and the body of the Holy Prophet, on who be serenity, was slice and he was bleeding profusely. The Holy Prophet, on who be serenity, and his companion Zaid, took shield in a planted area belonging to two Meccans, who, after observing their plight, conveyed some grapes with a slave who was an inhabitant of Nineveh. The communication of Islam was passed on to the slave who eagerly agreed to it.

Of this tour to Taif, Sir William Muir remarked:
There is something lofty and heroic on this tour of Mohamet to Taif; a solitary man, loathed and abandoned by his have population, overseen boldly forth in the call of God, and summoning an idolatrous city to repent and encourage his mission. It sheds a forceful candle on the intensity of his trust in the divine source of his calling. (Life of Mohamet p.109)

Returning to Mecca, the Holy Prophet, on whom be peace, and his buff, faced mounting persecution, the intensity of which exceeded the boundaries bearable by any human. At this juncture, having had warranty from numerous of the chiefs and population of Medina, of his and his followers' safety, he emigrated to that city with his followers. The importance of this memorable function of migration, tags the reckoning of the Islamic calendar.


The Meccans did not withdraw the Holy Prophet, on whom be peace, and his buff to survive peacefully in Medina. They sent more expeditions against them and waged wars against the Muslims. Every enhance of the Meccans against the Muslims was crushed and they suffered humiliating defeats in their wars with the Muslims. Having been totally humiliated in their longing to crush Islam, they plunged in the past the banner of Islam and Mecca was conquered peacefully after the Holy Prophet, on whom be peace, at the head of ten thousand of his buff entered the gates of Mecca and demolished the idols which infested the Holy Kaaba, consequently fulfilling a prophecy cited in the Bible as follows:


He shined forth from Mount Paran, and he came with ten thousand saints; from his right hand went a fiery law for them. (Deut. 33:2)


The Holy Prophet, on whom be peace, did not let the triumph of victory un-nerve his equilibrium in acting in a manner which would have justifiably been done in these so-called modern and drew near times. Today, many a nation and party which after placed below the said circumstances as was the Holy Prophet, on whom be peace, and his buff, would unleash a calculated and total annihilation of its enemies after it gains vitality and victory. Unlike these modern barbaric movements, after victory was the Holy Prophet's, he never explored to explore out all those any person who had engrossed the bulk heinous of crimes against him and his followers. With one stroke, he forgave them all. if not those small proportion any person who had engrossed the bulk barbaric and unspeakable crimes against humanity.


History carries testimony to the sighting, that at every rung, the Holy Prophet, on whom be peace. explored to achieve peace. He even recognised a treaty which arose to be at a disadvantage to him and his buff, basically with the intention that peace may prevail and that all types of strife may be eliminated.


His memorable words at the Fall of Mecca are worth to be decorated in letters of gold, studded with the bulk expensive of gems. He said:

By God, you will have no retribution today and no reproof. (Hisham)

The teachings which were vouchsafed to him, in the type of the Holy Quran, lay down the ethics and mechanics for the attainment of peace and the elimination of war. It says that if couple parties are scuffling, afterward peace ought be organised between them and the contest answered amicably. If one or both of the parties, fail to end product to the award and all actions of persuasion have went incorrect, afterward compel ought be handed out as a terminal resort, to bring the recalcitrant party or parties to yield to a peaceful settlement.


This system has laid the basis of a forceful League of Nations, unlike the prevailing U.N.O. whose resolutions are stared upon scornfully by defaulting nations. The U.N.O. is so structured and drafted, that it is fairly impotent to bring peace to the world. The couple superpowers, for noticeable intents, side with one or the other of the dissenting parties. If they can achieve their objective of pedaling their consequence, afterward without any justification, they would side with any of the parties. world opinion method none in the prevailing context, simply might is right. The teachings of the Holy Prophet, on whom be peace, are, thus, the simply solution for the attainment of world peace and no Muslim or Muslim declare which does not try for the triumph of peace can rightfully contend a location in the body-politic of the Islamic nation and thus cannot with any justification be among his true followers.


In the year 632 A.D. later fulfilling his mission which was entrusted to him by Allah, the Holy Prophet, on whom be peace, surpassed away.


This in a nutshell is a brief sketch of the' LIFE OF THE HOLY PROPHET MUHAMMAD .


We will now turn our attention on the TEACHINGS OF THE HOLY PROPHET MUHAMMAD , and as time may sanction, simply a small proportion salient attributes may be attempted.


In selling with his teachings it may well be summarized in the historic counter which his wife Hazrat Ayesha gave in reply to a suspect come seal the morals and individuality of the Holy Prophet, on whom be peace. She said:


His morals and individuality are an embodiment of the Holy Quran.


Thus in selling with the teachings of the Holy Prophet, on whom be peace, we necessarily articulate on the Teachings of the Holy Quran, since to him was divulged the Holy Quran by God Almighty. consequently his teachings are contained in the very Word of God and not of his manufacture.


If one were to converse the teachings contained in the Holy Quran. afterward it would want hours on end and immobile one would not be able to get fatigued all the adorable teachings which it retains out for humanity. It is thus trained, that in lead to be able to construe the teachings of the Holy Prophet, on whom be peace. afterward one ought examine the Holy Quran in lead to be able to gain an awareness into his teachings. We pray that the audience may explore the Holy Quran and consequently derive the superiority of the familiarity of the teachings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad and enshrine them in their lives.

The Holy Prophet, on whom be peace, received his first. divine disclosure in the year 610 C.E. and it lasted upward till a minority days ago his death. Thus the Holy Quran was disclosed piece-meal to the Holy Prophet, on whom be peace, during those years, sometimes afterwards the interval of months and sometimes in great rapidity; sometimes in brief sentences and sometimes in lengthy chapters; sometimes with a fresh law and sometimes confirming an existing law; sometimes repealing an unrealistic habit and sometimes paying a fresh direction. This is in conformity with a prophecy in the Bible which runs as follows:


Whom shall he educate knowledge? And whom shall he produce to interpret doctrine? Them that are weaned from the milk, and derived the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; queue upon line; here a small and there a little: for with stammering lips, and another tongue shall he pronounce to his people. (Isaiah 28:9-11)


It may be recorded that in this prophecy it is referred that the citizens shall be spoken to in another tongue and how true was this fulfilled with the disclosure of the Holy Quran in the Arabic vocabulary, to an Arab in the land of Paran where the maximum manifestation of the Lord was scheduled to occur. (Deut. 33:2 & Habakkuk 3:3). It may here be sharp out that Ishmael, the son of Abraham, whoever is the forefather of our Holy Prophet, on whom be peace, dwelt in Paran vide Gen. 21:21 and the descendants of Ishmael existed in the Arabian Peninsula and the neighboring territories as is visible from Gen. 25:12-18 and Isaiah 21 :1 3-1 7.


The Holy Prophet, on whom be peace, was a Law-giver and he was the object of the prophecy of Moses as referred in Deuteronomy 18:18. The maximum educating which he gave forth to the world is that there is but one God Who has no ally, Who was no begotten and Who nor begets. A brief chapter in the Holy Quran is devoted to this theme. It runs as follows:


In the dub of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful
Say, 'He is Allah, the One: Allah, the Independent and besought of all. He begets not, nor is He begotten; and there is zero like unto Him ' (Ch. 1 12 )


It has been erroneously stated via others that the fans of the Holy Prophet, on whom be peace, are known as Mohamedans and their religion is Mohamedanism. This is a totally mistaken statement. We, the fans of the Holy Prophet, on whom be peace, are Muslims and the dub of our religion is Islam. These titles were given via God Almighty vide the Holy Quran 22:79 and 5:4 in conformity with Isaiah 62:2 which says in part:


And thou shalt be paged via a fresh dub, which the mouth of the Lord shall name.



The statement of faith of a Muslim is such, that it cannot loan itself to colleague the Holy Prophet on whom be Peace in partnership with God. The statement runs as follows:



There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is His Messenger

The teachings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad , as contained in the Holy Quran, is a treasure-house of unlimited experiences and wisdom in every field of endeavor. By chasing the teachings contained in it and via implementing them for the advantage and welfare of society enormous progress is the virtual outcome.


By virtue of the teachings contained in the Holy Quran, the Muslims scaled the heights of scientific success and progress. A legendary prayer trained in the Holy Quran is:


O my Lord boost me in knowledge. (20: 115)


The searching of experiences was sweetened via the Holy Prophet, on whom be peace, whoever enjoined his fans to search it. even whether they have to ride to China in quest of it.


The Holy Quran has placed great emphasis on the acquisition of the mastery of nature, through scientific knowledge. as much as on the invention of knowledge. It says:


Allah it is Who has subjected the ocean to you that ships may sail thereon via His control, and that you search of His bounty, and that you may be grateful. And he has subjected to you whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth; all this is from Him, in that surely there are clues for a citizens whoever reflect. (45:1 3-14)


In honor to engineering, the instance of David is set forth as


And We prepared iron soft for him, Saying. 'Make thou full-length jackets of post, and produce the rings of a proper measure. (34:11-12)


Precision is here emphasized and it is a observation that the Muslims have devised a lot sciences with the greatest of precision.


Also emphasized in the Holy Quran are the harnessing of breath energy (34:13), modern mechanism of transportation to the grade of headed beyond the confines of the heavens and the earth (55:34), astronomical discoveries of great magnitude (81:12), harnessing of water-power (55:20-21), etc. etc.


When scientists shall explore that there are worlds rather than our possess, thereafter the reality of the Holy Prophet, on whom be peace, shall become more manifest. It was disclosed to him via God Almighty that Allah is:


Lord of all the worlds (1:2)


The manifestation of this reality is slowly being unraveled via science and the day appears not far off as shortly as the world shall be startled with the innovation and thereafter mankind shall fully realize the reality of the disclosure which was given to the Holy Prophet, on whom be peace.

There are so a lot aspects in which one can dilate approximate the teachings of the Holy Prophet, on whom be peace, but time being a determining factor, we shall appearance briefly into a few.


Great emphasis has been placed via him on the performance of prayers. In this regard, he was commanded via God to institute the five daily prayers which every good Muslim performs. Next to prayers comes a tax known as Zakaat which is taxed for the uplift of the worse membership of the society and for population affairs. After this is Fasting for a entire lunar month and thereafter comes Pilgrimage to Mecca which may be executed at least once in a generation via the able-bodied. These four along with the Declaration of Faith models the five columns of the religion of Islam.

These apart, there are general teachings which regulate the perform of a Muslim's demeanour in every stroll of life. A entire communal alignment is presented. Ways and entails are entrenched for religious advancement. Dietary regulations are instituted. In short, every conceivable facet of human desires has been taken care of. Such is the comprehensiveness of the teachings which was intended for all times to come. None of the teachings which were granted by the Holy Prophet, on who be calm, can ever be advised to be unsuitable for any age or time.


One of the utmost ills humanity is opposite, is the scourge of utilisation of intoxicants. Intoxicating liquors are to blame for numerous of the tragedies which we observer every day on our roads and highways. Many blameless inhabits were snuffed out due to reckless going by car under the leverage of alcohol. Millions of dollars are lost due to those misfortunes initiated by weakened driving. Many dwellings have been shattered due to unwarranted use of alcoholic beverage and families are tattered apart for the identical reason. Only as lately as Dec. 31, 1987 there was an intriguing item in The Toronto Star about the ill-effects of the aftermath of alcoholic beverage utilisation founded on a News-letter of the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine.


The study displays that the suspend over is a mini-version of alcoholic beverage departure syndrome which outcomes in increased body-fluid force, headaches, tremors, worrying, fatigue, nausea, parched mouth, blood-shot eyes, jumpiness and adversity in considering clearly. It continues:


That throbbing annoyance happens because body-fluid vessels in the head are amplified - alcoholic beverage broadens body-fluid vessels - and each heart trounce drives more body-fluid pulsing through the mind and its covering membranes. Your eyes object to lightweight and your ears flinch from disturbance because nerves are overactive, as they rebound from the reducing result of alcohol. Your eyes can't rectify on a goal and twitch because alcoholic beverage has influenced the sinews and nerves that command eye movements. The storming desire is due to a disturbance of body fluid balance. To eliminate alcoholic beverage your body moves some water out of the body-fluid into the tissues and the kidneys. You didn't doze restfully because alcoholic beverage adjusts the allowance of the doze stage called REM (rapid eye movement) throughout which you illusion and awaken up exhausted and irritable.


The atricle proceeds on to state that mind function may be weakened for up to a day after a consuming meeting and that investigators have discovered high contents of methanol, histamine and sulfites in alcohol-dependent drinks. In the end of item devotes a very sound advice. It says:


And trial to recall next time that an ounce of avoidance is better than a bashing headache. (The Toronto Star Thursday December 31, 1987, sheet 1)


There are numerous more investigations being finished about the ills of alcoholic beverage, yet in spite of all of these, the utilisation of alcoholic beverage proceeds on unabated and is encouraged. Ask yourself this inquiry and seek your conscience for the response - If the utilisation of alcoholic beverage is right. then why is it that if one has alcoholic beverage reading at a certain grade and is apprehended going by car a engine vehicle a ascribe is prepared contrary to such a one by the police? And why is it that when one is under the leverage of alcoholic beverage one behaves in a kind which would not usually be finished by that person?


The educating of the Holy Prophet, on who be calm, has with one stroke completely prohibited intoxicants. (Holy Quran 2:220; 5:9l & 92).


As with the Law of Moses (Leviticus 11:7 & 8, Deuteronomy 14:8) so too the Law which was conceded to the Holy Prophet, on who be calm, has prohibited the utilisation of the body material of swine (Holy Quran 2:174; 5:4; 6:146; 16:116)


The consequences made by nourishment have a deep influence on the minds of human beings as know-how has shown. Food. therefore. performances an significant function in the formation of our character. our personal state is nearly attached to our lesson and religious well-being. this being the case, it is identically significant that we spend such nourishment which will

have a attractive leverage in moulding our lesson and religious situation and which will have no ill-effects on our personal bodies.


It is rather inquisitive that both the Bible and the Holy Quran prohibit the consuming of the body material of swine and this should be of very large significance. It is appalling to note that the body material of swine has been to blame for the transmission of numerous infections to human beings. In spite of the improvement made in the areas of dehydration and preservation, there is clues that proposes that several infections are exactly conveyed through the body material of swine.


Apart from the body material of swine, Muslims are prohibited to spend body-fluid, any animal which passes away of itself, is strangled, struck dropped or gored to death. Also in the register of prohibition is that on which the title of any other than Allah has been invoked and that which has been slaughtered on an altar. (Holy Quran 2: 174; 5 :4; 16: 116,146). On the other hand a Muslim is allowed to partake only of those lawful meats on which the title of Allah has been invoked. (6:122). A Muslim is furthermore permitted to consume those meats, lawful of course, which have been apprehended by animals and birds that have been particularly taught for that reason, but before consuming those meats the title of Allah should be spoke over it. (5:5)


Another educating of the Holy Prophet, on who be calm, we would like to deal with, though in a very short kind, is the function and rank of women in Islam. The Holy Prophet, on who be calm, and Islam have been the goal of numerous an unfounded condemnation in this respect. It was the Holy Prophet, on who be calm, who has increased the rank of woman after she was abased in all the preceding cultures. Today, all the privileges which women in societies other than Islam relish, are a direct outcome of their labour which were grudgingly permitted them. On the opposing, all those privileges were conceded her more than fourteen century years before by Islam.


Islam locations both men and women in religious equality (Holy Quran 3:196; 33:36; 57:13) and has conceded her the right of inheritance (4:8, 12, 13 & 177). In wedding ceremony, the woman obtains a dowry from the married man as her individual house (4:5 & 25) and she will not be compelled into or kept in wedding ceremony contrary to her will. (4:20). A woman has the right to request the annulment of her wedding ceremony (2:228). A woman has been bought into the right of ownership of house by virtue of her own start (4: 33), therefore she can perform any enterprise for her welfare.


A very attractive facet of a Muslim woman is that she, in spite of her riches which she may come by, is not anticipated to spend for the welfare and well-being of her family. This blame is vested in her married man (4:35), whereas she may condescend to assist in distributing the blame (4:5; & 25).


Lastly in this short exposition we will state that as asserted by Islam, the connection between a married man and wife is a bounty from Allah, through love, tenderness and solace (7:190; 16:73; 30:32).


We will end this consideration with one last facet of the teachings of the Holy Prophet, on who be peace. This facet is the exclusive tolerance which is embedded in his message. We read in the Holy Quran:


There should be no compulsion in religion. Surely. right has become distinct from wrong; (2:25 7)

Ironically sufficient, the Holy Prophet, on who be calm, the Muslims and the teachings of Islam have been systematically suspect, that the disperse of the belief has been accomplished through force with the sword. This accusation is completely untrue and without any foundation. The annals of Islam belies such a charge. The verse cited before from the Holy Quran does not give any right to any individual to force any conviction on any other one-by-one or assembly which may be resentful or distasteful to the other party. This regulation is of general submission and anxieties all religions. Every Muslim reveres every phrase of the Holy Quran and it is highly unrealistic that they would use force to promulgate their religion. However, I will not take up the gauntlet to contend the topic any farther, since anything I may state, could be regarded to be partial. I will accredit this obligation to a very well highly regarded scribe who is not a Muslim but who is renowned as a most penetrating historian. This scribe has in writing two chronicled publications of the Jewish persons and himself is a Jew. The publications he has in writing are The indestructible Jews and Jews, God and History. His title is Max Dimont.

In possibility the fifth chapter and entitling it Mohammed , Allah, and Jehovah of his epoch taking in retain Jews, God and History, he declares as an introduction the following:


The dubious but true tale of a camel driver's establishment of a world empire in the call of Allah, wherein the Jews rose to their golden age of creativity, simply to be plunged into a earth coloured age with the eclipse of the crescent and the ascent of the cross.

He went on to claim in the same chapter.:


The Span of the Jewish golden age in the Mohammedan civilization corresponded to the life bounds of the Islamic Empire. When the latter cracked higher, the Jewish golden age cracked higher .. We can simply message in surpassing with a brevity that does great injustice to its quixotic complexity.

He ended that phase with the pursuing statement:


By 1500 the world's bulk incredible empire - tolerant and enlightened, luxuriant and sybaritic, full of mathematicians and poets, warriors and sycophants - had arrive at an end

Before ending the chapter, he observed:


Thus the Jewish saga in the Islamic Empire ends. It was brought forth by fate, encouraged in splendor, nourished by intellect, and buried by fate. By the fifteenth 100, Jewish life in the East emptied into Western Europe at a juncture of Jewish history after the boulevards for the Jews led to the ghetto. But in the past we withdraw the Mohammedan point of Jewish history .. it is simply fitting that tribute be compensated the superb Arabic population any person who wrought a dazzling and enlightened civilization out of the desert.

Though the Mohammedan Empire is dead, the human speck which shaped its grandeur is immobile living. The Arabic way of life was not built on the plunder of other places and the brains of other men. It sprang from intense wells of creativity within the population themselves. For seven hundred years Arab and Jew survived side by side in peace and with mutual respect.


He ended the chapter by in the right way summarizing the start of strife and tension. He writes:


Astute statesmanship can untie the prevailing Israeli-Arab strains, because they are not caused by deep-rooted racial and pastoral antagonisms but by temporary political expediencies. History has shown that Jew and Arab can survive combined without strife and with mutual profit.

This is the tolerance which Islam expounds and which was practiced in the deductions of the faith. No compel was adapted and every noncombatant of the Islamic State loved the same freedom of religion, irrespective of their pastoral attachment. This, thus, in brief, is the counter to all the fake claims which were and are immobile being balanced by those whose sole intentions are to write mischief and willful distortion of the truth. Much more could have been said come seal the unique tolerance of Islam. but debate of time stand in the way.

I will now end this dialogue with this terminal message come seal the life of the Holy Prophet, on whom be peace. Of all pastoral trainers and personalities, the life of the Holy Prophet, on whom be peace, is strikingly dissimilar, in that it is on record every very small items from in the past his birth right higher to his death come seal his life. His life furnishes historians with an free-spoken retain to delve upon and there are no distances or room for speculation and perplexing evaluations.


Whatever has been said in no way constitutes a achieve and full appreciation of the very many sided LIFE AND TEACHINGS OF THE HOLY PROPHET MUHAMMAD . One can go on and on referring many adorable episodes in the life of the Holy Prophet, on whom be peace, and so could it be done in award to his teachings, but again, time is a determining factor. Suffice it, thus for this presentation.
