THE HOLY PROPHET OF ISLAM
The Prophet was born in Mecca in August 570 A.D. .
He was
given the name Muhammad, which means, the praised one.
When the Prophet was over thirty years of age, love of God
began to possess him more and more.
Revolting against the
polytheism and the many vices of the people of Mecca, he
chose regularly to meditate at a cave two or three miles away.
When he was forty years of age he received his first revelation
out.
In these, the first verses of the Qur’an (96:2-6) he was
commanded to proclaim the name of the One God, Who has
made man and sowed the seed of His own love and that of
fellow man in his nature and it was foretold that the world
would be taught all kind of knowledge through the pen.
These verses constitute an epitome of the Qur’an.
0 Prophet, truly We have sent
thee as Witness, and Bearer of
glad tidings, and a Warner,
And as a Summoner toAllah by
His command, and as a radiant
Lamp.
And announce to the believers
the glad tidings that they will
have great bounty fromAllah.
(Chapter 33:46-48)
Say, '0 mankind! truly I am a
Messenger to you all fromAllah
to Whom belongs the Kingdom
(22)
