Oh Allah! I appeal to you because you are omniscient and know even what is hidden.

Prophet Muhammad was born in Mecca (Saudi Arabia) around 570 AD. e., in the Hashim clan of the Quraish tribe. Muhammad's father, Abdallah, died before the birth of his Son, and Muhammad's mother, Amina, died when He was only six years old, leaving the Son an orphan. Muhammad was raised first by His grandfather Abd al-Muttalib, a man of exceptional piety, and then by His uncle, the merchant Abu Talib.

At that time, the Arabs were inveterate pagans, among whom, however, a few adherents of Monotheism stood out, such as, for example, Abd al-Muttalib. Most Arabs lived a nomadic life in their ancestral territories. There were few cities. The main ones among them are Mecca, Yathrib and Taif.

If what I do is for the benefit of me and my faith, my life now and then, my task is easy and blessed.

Muhammad Prophet

If what I am doing is to the detriment of me and my faith, my life now and later, then spare me from performing this task.

From his youth, the Prophet was distinguished by exceptional piety and piety, believing, like His grandfather, in One God. First He tended the flocks, and then He began to participate in the trading affairs of His uncle Abu Talib. He became famous, people loved Him and, as a sign of respect for his piety, honesty, justice and prudence, they bestowed the honorary nickname al-Amin (Trustworthy).

Later, He conducted the trading affairs of a wealthy widow named Khadija, who, some time later, proposed to Muhammad to marry her. Despite the age difference, they lived a happy married life with six children. And although in those days polygamy among Arabs was common. The Prophet did not take other wives while Khadija was alive.

This newfound position freed up much more time for prayer and reflection. As was his custom, Muhammad retired to the mountains surrounding Mecca and secluded himself there for a long time. Sometimes His seclusion lasted several days. He especially fell in love with the cave of Mount Hira (Jabal Nyr - Mountains of Light), majestically rising above Mecca. On one of these visits, which occurred in the year 610, something happened to Muhammad, who was about forty years old at that time, that completely changed His entire life.

There is no success like patience.

Muhammad Prophet

Whoever knows the Truth and follows it is safe.

In a sudden vision, the angel Gabriel (Gabriel) appeared before Him and, pointing to the words that appeared from outside, ordered Him to pronounce them. Muhammad objected, declaring that he was illiterate and therefore would not be able to read them, but the angel continued to insist, and the meaning of these words was suddenly revealed to the Prophet. He was ordered to learn them and accurately pass them on to the rest of the people. This is how the first revelation of the sayings of the Book, now known as the Koran (from Arabic “reading”), was marked.

This eventful night fell on the 27th of the month of Ramadan, and was called Laylat al-Qadr. From now on, the life of the Prophet no longer belonged to him, but was given to the care of the One who called him to the prophetic mission, and he spent the rest of his days in the service of God, proclaiming His messages everywhere.

“...Eat of what Allah
as an
inheritance, and do not commit mischief on earth...”

When receiving revelations, the Prophet did not always see the angel Gabriel, and when he did, the angel did not always appear in the same guise. Sometimes the angel appeared before Him in human form, eclipsing the horizon, and sometimes the Prophet only managed to catch his gaze on Himself. At times He heard only a voice speaking to Him. Sometimes He received revelations while deeply immersed in prayer, but at other times they appeared completely “at random,” when Muhammad, for example, was busy worrying about the affairs of everyday life, or went for a walk, or simply listened enthusiastically to a meaningful conversation.

The servant will appear before the Lord on the Day of Judgment and will answer the question of what wealth he owned, how he acquired it, and for what needs he spent it.

Knowledge is the tree, and action is the fruit. Muhammad Prophet

The best is the one who is the best towards his family.

At first, the Prophet avoided public sermons, preferring personal conversations with interested people and with those who noticed extraordinary changes in Him. A special path of Muslim prayer was revealed to him, and He immediately began daily pious exercises, which invariably caused a wave of criticism from those who saw him. Having received the highest order to begin a public sermon, Muhammad was ridiculed and cursed by the people, who thoroughly mocked His statements and actions. Meanwhile, many Quraysh became seriously alarmed, realizing that Muhammad's insistence on establishing faith in the One True God could not only undermine the prestige of polytheism, but also lead to the complete decline of idolatry if people suddenly began to convert to the faith of the Prophet. Some relatives of Muhammad turned into His main opponents: humiliating and ridiculing the Prophet himself, they did not forget to do evil against converts. There are many examples of mockery and abuse of those who accepted a new faith. Two large groups of early Muslims, seeking refuge, moved to Abyssinia, where the Christian negus (king), very impressed by their teachings and way of life, agreed to provide them with protection. The Quraysh decided to ban all trade, business, military and personal connections with the Hashim clan. Representatives of this clan were strictly forbidden to appear in Mecca. Very difficult times came, and many Muslims were doomed to severe poverty.

In 619, the Prophet's wife Khadija died. She was His most devoted supporter and helper. In the same year, Muhammad’s uncle, Abu Talib, who defended Him from the most violent attacks from his fellow tribesmen, also died. Stricken with grief, the Prophet left Mecca and went to Taif, where he tried to find refuge, but was rejected there too.

The Prophet's friends betrothed a pious widow named Sauda as his wife, who turned out to be a very worthy woman, and also a Muslim. Aisha, the young daughter of his friend Abu Bakr, knew and loved the Prophet all her life. And although she was too young for marriage, however, according to the customs of that time, she nevertheless entered the Muhamed family as a sister-in-law. It is necessary, however, to dispel the misconception that exists among people who completely do not understand the reasons for Muslim polygamy. In those days, a Muslim who took several women as wives did so out of compassion, graciously providing them with his protection and shelter. Muslim men were encouraged to help the wives of their friends killed in battle, to provide them with separate houses and treat them as if they were their closest relatives (of course, everything could be different in the case of mutual love).

A kind word is alms.

Oh Allah! I appeal to you because you are omniscient and know even what is hidden. Muhammad Prophet

The best way to remember Allah is to say: there is no other deity but One God.

In 619, Muhammad had the opportunity to experience the second most important night of his life - the Night of Ascension (Laylat al-Miraj). It is known that the Prophet was awakened and carried on a magical animal to Jerusalem. Over the location of the ancient Jewish Temple on Mount Zion, the heavens opened and a path opened that led Muhammad to the throne of God, but neither he nor the angel Gabriel accompanying him was allowed to enter the beyond. That night the rules of Muslim prayer were revealed to the Prophet. They became the focus of faith and the unshakable basis of Muslim life. Muhammad also met and talked with other prophets, including Jesus (Isa), Moses (Musa) and Abraham (Ibrahim). This miraculous event greatly consoled and strengthened the Prophet, adding confidence that Allah did not abandon Him and did not leave Him alone with his sorrows.

From now on, the fate of the Prophet changed in the most decisive way. He was still persecuted and ridiculed in Mecca, but the Prophet's message had already been heard by people far beyond the city's borders. Some of the elders of Yathrib persuaded Him to leave Mecca and move to their city, where He would be received with honor as a leader and judge. Arabs and Jews lived together in this city, constantly at war with each other. They hoped that Muhammad would bring them peace. The Prophet immediately advised many of His Muslim followers to migrate to Yathrib while He remained in Mecca, so as not to arouse unnecessary suspicion. After the death of Abu Talib, the emboldened Quraish could calmly attack Muhammad, even kill him, and he understood perfectly well that this would sooner or later happen.

The Prophet's departure was accompanied by some dramatic events. Muhammad himself miraculously escaped captivity thanks to his exceptional knowledge of the local deserts. Several times the Quraysh almost captured Him, but the Prophet still managed to reach the outskirts of Yathrib. The city was eagerly awaiting him, and when Muhammad arrived in Yasrib, people rushed to meet him with offers of shelter. Confused by their hospitality, Muhammad gave the choice to his camel. The camel stopped at a place where dates were drying, and it was instantly presented to the Prophet for building a house. The city received a new name - Madinat an-Nabi (City of the Prophet), now abbreviated as Medina.

O Allah, I seek Your protection from cowardice and cowardice.

The man is sleeping; must he die before he wakes up? Muhammad Prophet

Allah has forbidden you disobedience, disrespect and callousness towards your parents.

The Prophet immediately began preparing a decree according to which He was proclaimed the supreme head of all the warring tribes and clans of Medina, who were henceforth forced to obey His orders. It established that all citizens were free to practice their religion in peaceful coexistence without fear of persecution or disgrace. He asked them only for one thing - to unite and repel any enemy who dared to attack the city. The former tribal laws of the Arabs and Jews were replaced by the basic principle of "justice for all", regardless of social status, color and religion.

Becoming the ruler of a city-state and gaining untold wealth and influence. The prophet, however, never lived like a king. His dwelling consisted of simple mud houses built for His wives; He never even had his own room. Not far from the houses there was a courtyard with a well - a place that from now on became a mosque where devout Muslims gather.

Almost the entire life of the Prophet Muhammad was spent in constant prayer and in the instruction of believers. In addition to the five obligatory prayers that He conducted in the mosque, the Prophet devoted a lot of time to solitary prayer, and sometimes devoted most of the night to pious reflections. His wives performed night prayer with Him, after which they retired to their chambers, and He continued to pray for many hours, falling asleep briefly towards the end of the night, only to wake up soon for the pre-dawn prayer.

In March 628, the Prophet, who dreamed of returning to Mecca, decided to make His dream come true. He set out with 1,400 followers, completely unarmed, wearing pilgrim attire consisting of two simple white veils. However, the followers of the Prophet were denied entry into the city, despite the fact that many citizens of Mecca practiced Islam. To avoid clashes, the pilgrims made their sacrifices near Mecca, in an area called Hudaibiya.

In 629, the Prophet Muhammad began plans for the peaceful capture of Mecca. The truce concluded in the town of Hudaibiya turned out to be short-lived, and in November 629 the Meccans attacked one of the tribes that was in a friendly alliance with the Muslims. The Prophet marched on Mecca at the head of 10,000 men, the largest army to ever leave Medina. They settled near Mecca, after which the city surrendered without a fight. The Prophet Muhammad entered the city in triumph, immediately went to the Kaaba and performed a ritual circuit around it seven times. Then He entered the shrine and destroyed all the idols.

It was not until March 632 that the Prophet Muhammad made His only full-fledged pilgrimage to the shrine of the Kaaba, known as Hajat al-Wida (The Last Pilgrimage). During this pilgrimage, revelations were sent to Him about the rules of Hajj, which all Muslims follow to this day. When the Prophet reached Mount Arafat to “stand before Allah,” He proclaimed His last sermon. Even then, Muhamed was seriously ill. He continued to lead prayers in the mosque as best he could. There was no improvement in the disease, and He fell ill completely. He was 63 years old. It is known that His last words were: “I am destined for a stay in Paradise among the most worthy.” His followers found it difficult to believe that the Prophet could die as a simple man, but Abu Bakr reminded them of the words of revelation spoken after the Battle of Mount Uhud: “Muhammad is only a messenger. There are no longer the messengers who once were before him; If he also dies or is killed, will you really turn back?” (Quran, 3:138).

Those who leave their parents in old age will not enter heaven.

Allah Almighty said in the Holy Quran:

“Do not lose hope in the mercy of Allah. Verily, Allah forgives sins completely, for He is Forgiving, Merciful.” (Az-Zumar, 39/53)

Sayings of the PROPHET MUHAMMAD

► I was given preference over other prophets in six things: I was given the ability to put a lot of meaning into a few words, and I was supported by fear, and I was allowed the spoils of war, and the earth was made for me a place of prayer and a means of purification , and I was sent to all people and the series of prophets was completed by me.

► Truly, to compare me with the prophets who lived before, one can cite the parable of a man who built a good house and did everything that was needed, except that the last brick was missing in one of its corners. And people began to walk around this house, surprised and saying: “If only this brick had been laid?!” He said: “I am that brick and I am the last of the prophets.”

► Truly, I was recorded before Allah as the last prophet already at the time when Adam was still clay (devoid of spirit), and I will tell you about my beginning. This is the prayer of Ibrahim, the joyful news of Isa and what my mother saw in her dream when she gave birth to me, and she saw that a light had come out of her, illuminating the palaces of Sham.

► I was sent to people in the best of their centuries, and I appeared precisely in the century in which I live.

► I have five names: I am Muhammad, and I am Ahmad, and I am the Eraser (al-Mahi), by whom Allah will erase disbelief, and I am the gatherer (al-Hashir), at whose feet people will be gathered, and I - Coming after (al-Aqib), after which there will be no more prophet.

► I am Muhammad, and I am Ahmad, and I am al-Muqaffi (the last Prophet), and the prophet of repentance and the prophet of mercy.

► Small, but sufficient is better than abundant and tempting.

► The superiority of an educated person over one who only prays is like the superiority of the moon when, having reached the full moon, it eclipses the stars. Educated people are the heirs of the prophets, who left as a legacy not dirhams and dinars (silver and gold), but only knowledge.

► O people: God is One, and your ancestor is One. You are all from Adam, but Adam is made of clay. The most revered among you before God is the most God-fearing.

►The search for knowledge is a sacred duty assigned to every Muslim.

► Hurry to do good before you are broken by trials, corrupting wealth, debilitating illness, senile talkativeness and sudden death.

► Each religion has its own characteristics, the characteristic of Islam is modesty.

► Modesty and faith are closely related, and if one of the two is lost, the other goes.

► Beware of envy, for envy consumes good deeds just as fire consumes fuel.

► God does not look at your bodies and appearance, He looks at your hearts and actions.

► Beware of suspicion, for suspicion is a great lie.

► Do not look for vices in each other and do not covet what the other has, and do not envy and do not be treacherous or indifferent, but be servants of God.

► Let the younger one greet the older one; let the one who walks greet the one sitting; and let those who are fewer greet those who are more.

► The most brilliant jihad is victory over oneself.

► A person must accompany the guest to the door of his house.

► Be a messenger of joy, and do not push away from yourself, facilitate, and do not create difficulties.

► The situation of a Muslim is amazing! Truly, everything in his situation is good, for if something joyful happens to him, he thanks (Allah), and it becomes good for him, but if some kind of grief befalls him, he shows patience, and this also turns out good for him .

► Verily, I was sent (to people) only in order to bring good behavior to perfection.

► Truly, Allah loves it when His servant can see that He has shown him His mercy.

► The best wealth is the wealth of the soul; the best asset is piety; the deepest wisdom is the fear of God, the Sublime, the Great.

► To lead to reconciliation between two disputants is mercy, to help a person climb onto a horse or to load his luggage onto this horse is mercy, a kind word is

mercy, clearing the street for free passage is mercy, smiling at your brother is mercy.

► When a person dies, his deeds come to an end, with the exception of three main works that he leaves behind: endless mercy, knowledge that brings benefit, and faithful followers who pray for him.

► Don't envy each other; do not hate each other; do not turn away from each other; Do not knock down each other’s bets, but be, O servants of Allah! brothers. One Muslim is a brother to another Muslim: he does not oppress him and does not betray his interests, he does not lie to him and does not insult him with contempt. Piety (belief in God) is right here (and the Prophet pointed to the chest three times). It is very bad for every person to feel contempt for his Muslim brother and it is a mortal sin for a Muslim to kill another Muslim, or to take his property, or to violate his honor.

► Do not delay giving alms until the moment when you find yourself in the grip of death and then you will say: give this to so-and-so, and give to so-and-so that, because then both everything belongs (by right of inheritance), and give alms when you are in full health, have a strong desire to accumulate wealth, are afraid of poverty, and are overwhelmed by a passion for money.
