La Martine.. The most famous men created arms,

This man (Muhammad (sas)) moved notonly armies, legislation, empires,peoples and dynasties, but millionsinhabiting more than one-third of theworld, he moved the altars, the gods,the religions, the ideas, the beliefsand souls....

La Martine.

His forbearance in victory, his ambition,

which was entirely devoted to one ideaand in no manner striving for an empire;

His endless prayers, his mystic conversationswith God, his death and his triumph afterdeath;

All these attest not to an imposture but to afirm conviction which gave him the powerto restore a dogma.

This dogma was two-fold, the unity of God

(what God is!) and the immateriality ofGod (what God is not!).

He started the mission with words thenoverthrew false gods with the sword.

His noble example After the fall of Mecca, more than one million square miles of land lay at

his feet, Lord of Arabia, he mended his own shoes and coarse woolengarments, milked the goats, swept the hearth, kindled the fire andattended the other menial offices of the family. The entire town ofMedina where he lived grew wealthy in the later days of his life.Everywhere there was gold and silver in plenty and yet in those daysof prosperity many weeks would elapse without a fire beingkindled in the hearth of the king of Arabia,

His food being dates and water. His family would go hungry many nightssuccessively because they could not get anything to eat in the evening.

He slept on no soften bed but on a palm mat, after a long busyday to spend most of his night in prayer, often bursting withtears before his creator to grant him strength to discharge hisduties.

As the reports go, his voice would get choked with weeping and it wouldappear as if a cooking pot was on fire and boiling had commenced. Onthe very day of his death his only assets were few coins a part of which

went to satisfy a debt and rest was given to a needy person who cameto his house for charity. The clothes in which he breathed his lasthad many patches. The house from where light had spread tothe world was in darkness because there was no oil in thelamp.

Circumstances changed, but the prophet of God did not. In

victory or in defeat, in power or in adversity, in affluence or

in indigence, he is the same man, disclosed the same

character. Like all the ways and laws of God, Prophets ofGod are unchangeable.

An honest man, as the saying goes, is the noblest work of

God, Mohammadwas more than honest. He was human to the

marrow of his bones. Human sympathy, human love was themusic of his soul. To serve man, to elevate man, to purify

man, to educate man, in a word to humanize man-this

was the object of his mission, the be-all and end all of his

life. In thought, in word, in action he had the good ofhumanity as his sole inspiration, his sole guiding principle.By Prof. K. S. Ramakrishna Rao, Head of the Department of Philosophy, Government College

He is not God


Mohammad (PBUH) was nothing more or less than ahuman being. But he was a man with a noble mission,which was to unite humanity on the submission to ONEand ONLY GOD and to teach them the way to ideal and

upright living based on the commands of God.He always described himself as A Servant andMessenger God

His Humility


Umar reported Allahs Messenger (peace be upon him) as saying, Dontexaggerate in praising me as the Christians did in praising Jesus who wasraised to the status of Allahs son. I am a servant of Allah; therefore call me aservant and Messenger of Allah.Anas said that Allahs Messenger (peace be upon him) used to visit the sick,accompany funerals, ride donkeys and accept the invitations of slaves. In the battleof Banu Quraydha, he was riding a donkey whose bridle and saddle were made ofpalm leaves. He also reported that Allahs Messenger (peace be upon him)accepted without hesitation invitations to dinners consisting of mere barley and stale

bread. Anas said that the companions of Allahs Messenger (peace be upon him)loved him more than anything in the world, but still they did not stand up when hecame in for he disliked it. Again this shows his extreme humility in that he did not likepeople standing up as they stood up for kings and rulers.

When his son Ibrahim died, by coincidence there was a solar eclipse on that day.People thought that the heavenly bodies were also sharing in the grief of the

Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). He at once gathered all the companions inthe mosque and addressed them saying, O people! Know this, that the solareclipse is one of the signs of Allah. It does not occur because of the birth or death ofanyone.
