who was muhammad

hi as an out sider i would like to know just who muhammad was and any facts and info about him.

thanks in advance please bare with me i dont know much if at all anything about the qu'ran (sorry if i mispell i have dyslexica) but please correct me if i have mispell anything, tho i do ask that you dont correct my own name as this will make me look dumb! ha ha

He was the founder of Islam and the last Prophet of Allah

no he was not the founder of islam.
there were many prophets before him, he was the last prophet of Allah (SWT) there are many facts about him, google it or wikipedia it lol

saima he was the founder of Islam

read it if you don't believe me:

http://www.geocities.com/saienterprises/moham/mohammed.htm

how can u tell me the he is the founder of islam
if there are 100s of prophets before him
he just preached islam
and we got the quran send down from him
hes not the "founder" of islam
just a mere prophet.
get ur facts straight.
and i saw that site..
and yeah umm no.
theres so many prophets before him...use ur common sense.

not only was he the last messenger of allah but a great teacher to all muslims and the world. there r many stories about him on the internet.

What were his teachings? What were the best things that he said ?

of all the places u can ask for information, u use a Bollywood site?!
Google it or Wikipedia it.
should answer all your questions hopefully from reliable sources....
or go on one of many Islamic Websites, specificly formed for answering questions like these.
in Breif yes, Muhhamed was the last Prophet of Islam, but there were many before him, Including Esa' who Christians call Jesus

He was the founder of Islam and the last Prophet of Allah


no he wasn't the founder of Islam

u guys are rite he wasnt the founder of Islam,
there are good sites online, but always be careful
that what u are readin is authentic, coz there are ppl
who have started creating fake islamic sites with rong info...

its pathetic but true...so just be careful u dont fall into the traps

best thing to do is buy books(kitabs) about islam

Yeah, Aaliyah, but why have a religion thread on this site at all then. Half the threads on here are totally unrelated to Bollywood, no?

Surely as a Muslim you would want to share your faith with someone with an interest in it? Mohamed seems to be the principle figure in Islam and has such a lot of respect and veneration from Muslims. I was just asking what he said/did that created all that?

Why do you like him so much?

In short...because he is the perfect example of human kind, his characteristics
were the best and even tho he was the closest to Allah he chose
to live a simple life.

TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION MAN OF MYSTERY!?

AND JUST AT THE START OF THE TOPIC U HAD TWO CONFLICTING VIEWS...
IF ITS VIEWS U R AFTER FINE .
BUT U WANT FACT U GOTTA GET THE RITE SOURCES

exactly

read his biography..u will get to know all about him..

But you guys cant tell me? Why was he the best example of humankind? What did he do to earn that accolade? I'm just curious as nothng is ever really said about him. He's not someone whose life is ever really discussed very much.

Only Allah knows best why he was chosen to be the last prophet,
he got his prophethood in his 40's.He was a modest man, and he was not
aggressive etc like others. he was kind and loving, he was caring etc...
he lived his life before his prophethood in simplicity, im assuming
that was one of the reasons he was given the status, but again only Allah knows best.

^^^that is my opinion, i ask Allah's forgivness if i have said
anything in correct

Oh right...but you follow him just because he was simple, modest and caring? There must be lots of people around like that. I was thinking that there must have been something amazing and great that he said and did that just blew the world away and really impressed everyone ?

There are millions of muslims all over the world that follow him, surely there must be a really big reason why he is so revered and respected ??

^^
as its said before. muhammed wasn't the ONLY prophet there where many Suleman, isa, Daud

or Soloman, David or Jesus in the biblical scriptures.

yes / and no
Muhhamed wasn't blessed with any miracle making abilities helped by ALLAH, that the other Prophets had. Such as Moosa and Isa (Moses and Jesus)
yet he is considered the unflawed Prophet.
because even before being given Prohethood he demonstrated these abilities.
and his Modesty and patience were virtues beyond wot we see today.
in his prophethood
Islam was spread by the Book revealed to him by the Angel Gibreel (Gabreil)
ppl listened to his sermons and although there were some heavenly incidents later in his prophethood, this was the main reason for ppl to except Islam.
wow, its really difficult to tell someone about Islam from scratch.
the thing with Islam is that its so complete, bear in Mind Islam wasn't started by Muhammed but from the first Prophet who was Adam, yet Adam was sent to preach the same teachings,
u really need all the background info.
i admit i am not the best to explain this by writing, but sure u know Muslims or have friends who r ?
or don't u?
it much easier if u ask some one personally so u can raise question in between any explanations..

ye i agree ^^^

if u are genuinely interested, u need to get hold
of a book that has the life of the prophet muhammed (pbuh) in it

ye i agree ^^^

dont get me wrong
anyone can get a book

but an outside might want to know diff views

like some people were taught this way and that

As i know of it, some of the white people dont know about the prophet, and they want to know about it. I dont tell them "go google it" or something. Some people are just lazy or some people dont want to go buy because they wont understand. Its like, the bible, the bible uses concrete english, so the person might not understand what the Bible is saying.
So thats why you and me are here to explain to those people in a very concise or simple language so they will understand.

Its extremely rude when you tell a person go do this, or go do that.
some people dont have time, money or energy. We are here to help people to understand each other religions.

Peace everyone!!!

see the above link! (plz re-arrange (no spaces in between) as i cant post links cuz it says "You are only allowed to post URLs to other sites after you have made 15 posts or more.")

A book written by Michael H. Hart Most Influential Persons in History
Muhammad (P.B.U.H) was stated the most influential person in the history followed by Isaac Newton and Jesus Christ.

Anyways! back to the topic. Muhammad (P.B.U.H) is the last prophet of God! He is not the founder of Islam. He preched Islam. Islam carries the same message that was passed onto previous nations. The attributes of Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) and his mode of conduct show us that he was truly a prophet of God. He was, in every aspect of his character, an exemplary human being and history has never witnessed anyone else like him. He was of good appearance and was always neatly dressed, preferring to wear white. He was clean and commanded others to observe cleanliness. When a person approached him and told him that he liked to wear nice clothes and nice shoes, the prophet (peace be upon him) replied by saying: “God is beautiful and He loves beauty. His mercy extended even to animals. He commanded his followers to be kind to the animals in their care and prohibited abusing them. He was also very forgiving to those who wronged him. He never became angry or hateful on a personal level. No matter how greatly someone wronged him when he was weak, he would show that person clemency when he was in a position of power. He was also very humble. He taught his followers: “None will enter Paradise who has within his heart an atom’s weight of pride.” He used to sit on the floor and eat. He fasted so much that it sometimes seemed that he never went a day without fasting. He spent long stretches of the night standing in prayer until his ankles would swell. When he was asked why he worshipped so much when God had forgiven him all of his past and future sins, he replied: “Should I not then be a grateful servant?”

Muhammad (P.B.U.H) is mentioned in various holy scriptures.
Like in hinduism.
A spiritual reformer will come from a foreign land (outside Bharat) with his disciples (companions). His name will be Mahamad (Muhammad). He will dwell in a desert.
(Bhavisyath Purana 3:5-8)

hmmm
no. i don't think its rude.
as i've already said to the Thread opener, u can surely get an opinion on a religion and a person point-of-view.
but if u want facts, its not the most reasonable method of finding out about something as complex as religion
i mean how do u know the person who is supposedly is giving u the info is accurate or even genuine??
it would take just as much effort, time,money (?) and energy to do the research from a reliable web-site like Wikepedia or encyclopedic web-site.
infact it would be much easier...
ofcourse i automatically assumed the person wanted the info as serious facts as the post suggested...

i know this is off topic but
how do u know that Wikipedia is a reliable n accurate site.
Wikipedia is the most biased n false site you'll ever come across. I can edit, delete, etc wateva n whenever i want. Most of the information there is quite offensive n vulgar.

i so agreee...
wikipeadia is written by people like u and me..and its basically biased as well..

hmm...
i guess,
ye ofcourse info is amended on that site.
but thats not the only one i meant, there r plenty, u just have to sort the reliable ones from the crap ones....

ur right Aaliyah!
but the person who neva heard of Islam would neva know how to sort the reliable ones from the crap ones, its our duty (as muslims) to atleast introduce them to Islam and provide them with reliable info if they r interested.

Visit a mosque and ask the mullah, the imam to explain to you who Mohammed(pbuh) was. Visit the sites on the web to find out who Mohammed(pbuh) was, read the books in the library on who Mohammed(pbuh) was and thn decide which story you want to believe. Anyone can say that what they tell you is the thruth. I know what i believe in and you believe in what you want to believe in;)

pari! as being a muslim, how about you give us a brief intro concerning Prophet Muhammed (P.B.U.H) :wink_smil

Sure why not:p
i will post it in a min.

Fraudia have u read the first page of this thread?
if not take a look, as soon as this thread was opened 2 conflicting views were posted, ofcourse the majority supported what we beleived to be the correct information, but what annoys me is that just like Wikie this forum isn't likely to give u accurate info, and to someone who is genuinely interetsed this can confuse matters.
u're explanation was good too, but even u would cannot completely distance urself from bias, for example are u Sunni or Shia?
that can change how u look at ISLAM...
see what i mean?

im sunni, shia's dont believe Muhammed (P.B.U.H) as the last messenger.

I still think my post is the bestest!:D

thats what u think na :tongwink:

P.S: i hate to brag :wink_smil

u think thats what i think but i know it is:D

p.s. i lvoe to brag!;)

dont think too much, ur just wasting ur mind energy :wink_smil

oh am i?

im sunni, shia's dont believe Muhammed (P.B.U.H) as the last messenger.

xactly. so am i, so according to my beleif i won't even class them as muslims.
But a Shia can argue that they are.
a non-muslim can easily be confused.
anyways, i think i made my point....:confused_

oh am i?

no :wink_smil

so u hate shias? but some shias r cute :wink_smil

kidding apart! If someone does'nt believe in Prophet Muhammed (P.B.U.H), he is not even a muslim, cuz Quran tells us that he is the last messenger.

and what point?

^Except they do beleive in the prophet, they just don't believe he was the last one. Instead they class Hazrat Ali (R.A.) as the last prophet. All this started when the Prophet (S.A.W.) passed away and then the decisions about who should continue his teachings (Y'know the four Kaliphs).

:)

well said angel :thumbs_up

i think even their way of praying is different.

Yeah, alot of the things they do are quiet different.

so do u consider them as muslims?

To be honest, I think in Islam you shouldn't have all this Sunni, Shiya business. It doesn't make sense to me, so yeah I tend not to judge anything by it.

but our prophet has predicted that there'll be 72 firqas (groups), divided amongst muslims and only 1 will enter jannah.

...and?! :p

All we can do is follow the word of Allah, the best we can and pray we're part of that one group.

and thats so easy! follow quran n hadith. Allah said in quran, "Obey me and my prophet".
That person will enter jannah. Allah knows best.

If someone asks me, am i sunni, bareli, wahabi, tableeghi, i feel like kicking his rear behind. lolz, cuz i simply say "im a muslim" :)

Exactly. Sorted...:D

indeed ;)

i think it's become more of a cultural-identity sort of thing in today's muslim society. people ask, "are you sunni or shia?", in the same casual sense that they would ask "are you indian or pakistani?"....they dont mean to critisize one another's religious practices; they're just culturally defying themselves. i think that's okay.

but in other countries where there are people hating/killing/segregating each other - now that's wrong. it's wrong to the same degree that killing anybody for differences in beliefs is. because that's essentially what they're doing. and it's disguisting how muslims cant seem to get along with each other...

so u hate shias? but some shias r cute :wink_smil

kidding apart! If someone does'nt believe in Prophet Muhammed (P.B.U.H), he is not even a muslim, cuz Quran tells us that he is the last messenger.

and what point?

lol
no i don't hate Shia's !
stop making me look evil.
i just feel their beleif goes contrary to the fundamental basis of Islam.
islam is based on one beleif, that is "there is no one worthy of worship but Allah and Mohammed (pbuh) was his last prophet"
everthing else comes after...
thats the Kalimah, something thats required to be beleived in to to even become a muslim.
if u beleive Mohammed is not the last Prophet , according to my thinking u can't call urself muslim.
i'm sure Shia will disagree.....that goes back to my point..


My point about not getting an accurate explanation about Islam on a Bollywood forum:baring_te

i agree and disagree.

i agree that if some does'nt believe in kalimah, he is not a muslim.

and i disagree with this statement "My point about not getting an accurate explanation about Islam on a Bollywood forum"

why do u think there is a religion section on a bollywood forum anyway? ;)

^ I think she meant it won't be as accurate becasue it'll be people like us who only have the minmum level of knowledge. Whereas if you were to post on an Islmaic site, you'd get a more rounded answer from proffessionals, y'know people that have studied Islam well.

^but we've studied Islam too, we should know our basics.

True...BUT, someone enquiring into Islam would probably want a more indepth insight, to help them understand. Something more than just the basics I guess....


Oh, I don't know...:p

lol! i agree but imagine a gora not knowing english and calling himself an english man. :p

Eh?! :confused: I didn't get it....what?! Gosh, I'm confused...

lol! koi baat nahi! mitti pao, boota lao ;P

...or you could've just said nevermind...:p

lol! sorry but i hate that word, nevermind n watever, they annoy me :p

Woh kyun?

i so agreee...
wikipeadia is written by people like u and me..and its basically biased as well..
That is putting it mildly-I would say they are biased agaist Islam and gives a Khnight of the Cross VIEW,

yh because wikipedia is kinda like a forum no one is really checked what is their background wile posting bout islam.

and its our duty to spread the world of islam if u are 100% sure about it..its haram to spread something u spreading and its not right.

no one was the founder of Islam..it is all derived from the Holy Quran and the hadith of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) send by Allah thru the messenger which are also called angels. THey were just the interpreters
