A Brief History of the Prophet"s Life

 
 

Lineage

 
 The oldest and noblest tribe in the whole of Arabia was Banu Hashim. They were the descendants
 
of Ibrahim through his son Isma"il. The Arabs respected and loved them for their goodness,
 
knowledge and bravery.
 

 

"Abd Al-Muttalib

 
 "Abd al-Muttalib was the chieftain of Banu Hashim and he was also the Guardian of the Ka"bah.
 
Among his ten sons, "Abdullah was the father of the Holy Prophet.
 

 

Muhammad

 

 In Mecca, baby boy Muhammad was born on 17th Rabi" al-Awwal, 570 AD.His father "Abdullah,
 
son of "Abd al-Muttalib, died before he was born and when he was six, he lost his loving mother
 
Aminah bint Wahab.His Grandfather, "Abd al-Muttalib, took the responsibility of bringing up the
 
orphan. At the age of ten, he was berefted of his venerable grandfather.On his deathbed, he
 
appointed his son Abu Talib as the guardian of Muhammad.Gentle, soft spoken, tall and
 
handsome boy, Muhammad, accompanied the trading caravans of Abu Talib, across the deserts,
 
giving him deep insight into nature and man.
 

 

Khadijah (A.S)

 

 The wealthy noble widowed lady Khadijah, looking for a manager for her rich merchantile
 
caravans, selects Muhammad, the Trustee. Able and fair dealing,Muhammad is a tremendous
 
success. Khadijah already an admirer, made him an offer of marriage. Muhammad was twenty five
 
and Khadijah forty. In spite of this disparity in age, the marriage proved to be a very happy one.
 

 

The Prophet

 
 Lover of nature and quite worrried about human sufferings, Muhammad very often retired to
 
Mount Hira" for meditations. One night, Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Majesty) a voice addressing
 
him, commanded "Recite in the name of thy Lord." Deeply excited by the strange phenomena of
 
Divine Visitation,Muhammad hurried home to his wife, Khadijah, who listened to him attentively and
 
said that "I bear witness that you are the Apostle of God." After an interval, the voice from heaven
 
spoke again "O thou shrouded in thy mantle, arise, and warn, and magnify thy Lord."
 
This was a signal for him to start preaching the gospel of truth of One God. In the beginning
 
Muhammad invited only those near him, to accept the new Faith. The first to embrace Islam among
 
women was Khadijah and among men "Ali. Soon after, Zayd ibn al-Harithah became a convert to
 
the new Faith.
 
For three long years, he laboured quietly to wean his people from the worship of idols and drew
 
only thirty followers. Muhammad then decided to appeal publicly to the Quraysh to give up idol
 
worship and embrace Islam.The new Faith, is simple without complications, practical and useful for
 
everyday life. It commands to believe and do good, keep up prayer and pay the poorrate, two
 
orders giving four principles of a successful way of life.Almost ten years of hard work and
 
preaching, in spite of all persecution,produced over a hundred followers, physical cruelties and
 
social boycott made life unbearable in Mecca. The Holy Prophet of Islam advised his followers, to
 
seek refuge in the to seek refuge in the neighbouring country of Ethiopia. Eighty eight men and
 
eighteen women sailed to the hospitable shores of the Negus, under the leadership of Ja"far at-
 
Tayyar (brother of "Ali) and the cousin of the Holy Prophet.
 
several times the chieftains came to Abu Talib saying, "We respect your age and rank, but we
 
have no further patience with your nephew. Stop him or we shall fight you." Abu Talib asked
 
Muhammad for his decision.With tears in his eyes, the Apostle firmly replied, "O my uncle! If they
 
place the sun on my right hand and the moon on my left, to force me to renounce my mission, I will
 
not desist until God manifests His cause or I perish in the attempt."

Tragedies

 
 In a period of troubles, trials and tribulations two major tragedies afflicted Muhammad. First the
 
venerable guardian uncle Abu Talib died and shortly afterwards his noble wife Khadijah died,
 
leaving behind her daughter Fatimah (peace be on her) - the only child she had from the Holy
 
Prophet - the daughter who looked after her father so much so that the prophet called her Umm
 
Abiha (the mother of her father).
 

 

Muslim Era

 
 With the death of the old patriarch Abu Talib, the Meccans planned to assassinate the prophet.
 
Under Divine guidance, he asked "Ali to sleep in his bed and Muhammad put his green garment
 
on "Ali. While the murderes mistook "Ali for muhammad, the Holy Prophet of Islam escaped to
 
Medina.
 
The Muslim era of Hijrah (Emigration) is named after this incident and dated from 17th Rabi" al-
 
Awwwal, 622 AD.
 
From the time he came to Medina, he was the grandest figure upon whom the light of history has
 
ever shone. We shall now see him as the King of men, the ruler of human hearts, chief law-giver
 
and supreme judge.The Preacher who went without bread, was mightier than the mightiest
 
sovereigns of the earth. No emperor with his tiaras was obeyed, as this man in a cloak of his own
 
clothing.
 
He laid the foundation of the Muslim commonwealth and drew up a charter which has been
 
acknowledged as the work of highest statemanship, a master-mind not only of his age, but of all
 
ages.
 
Unlike the Arabs, the Prophet, had never wielded a weapon, but now he was forced to defend
 
Islam by force of arms. Commencing from the battle of Badr,a series of eighty battles had to be
 
fought, which the infant commmunity defended successfully.

Uhud

 Next year, Abu Sufyan, the famous long-lived enemy of Islam, again attacked the Muslims at

Uhud. Hamzah, the first flag-bearer of Islam and uncle of the Prophet, was killed in action. In spite

of strict instructions from the Prophet, a few Muslim soldiers deserted their post,when victory was

in sight. This changed the course of the battle. Khalid ibn al-Walid attacked the Prophet and the

grave situation was saved by the timely arrival of "Ali. The enemies ran away and the issue was

decided. Muhammad was deeply grieved at the death of Hamzah.

 

 
 
 

 

Hudaybiyyah

 

 The Muslims had been in self exile for six years and began to feel a keen yearning for their
 
homeland, Mecca. The Prophet desired to perform a pilgrimage to Ka"bah. When he forsook his
 
home town he was weak, but when he wanted to return, he was strong. He did not use his strength
 
to force an entry into the sacred city. Finding the Quraysh hostile, Muhammad entered into a
 
treaty Known as the Peace of Hudaybiyyah, appearing not very advantageous to the Muslims, but
 
which revealed the Islamic character of moderation and magnanimity. For the strong to excercise
 
restraint and toleration is true courage. Having reached upto the door of their birth place with
 
hearts over-flowing with impatient longing to enter it, the Muslims retraced their steps peacefully to
 
Medina, under the terms of the treaty, which allowed them to perform the pilgrimage next year.
 
 

 

Mecca

 

 In The 8th year AH, the idolators violated the peace of Hudaybiyyah by attacking the Muslims.
 
The enemies were defeated and Mecca was conquered.The Prophet who fled from Mecca as a
 
fugitive, now returned home as a mighty conqueror. The Rahmatun lil "Alamin (mercy unto all
 
beings, i.e., the Prophet) entered the city with his head bowed low in thankfulness to the Almighty
 
(Allah) and ordered a general amnesty, instead of the mass massacre of those who persecuted
 
him and his followers.
 

 

Wives

 A great number of Muslim soldiers were killed in battles at Badr, Uhud,Khaybar, Hunayn and other 

 
places, leaving behind young wives and children. The serious problem of taking care of the
 
widows and orphans, threatened to break up the moral fabric of the Muslim Society. Muhammad
 
decided to marry these widows and set an example for his followers to do likewise.

Last Pilgrimage

 
 Under the Divine intuition of his approaching end, Muhammad prepared to make the farewell
 
pilgrimage to Mecca.Before completing all the ceremonies of Hajj, he addressed a huge multitude
 
from the top of mount "Arafat on 8th Dhi al-hijjah, 11 AH,in words which shall ever ring and live in
 
the atmosphere.
 
After finishing the hajj the Holy Prophet started for Medina. On his way, at Ghadir Khumm the
 
Voice from Heaven cried: "O Apostle! deliver what has been revealed to you from your Lord; and if
 
you do it not, then you have not delivered His message and Allah will protect you from the people,
 
surely Allah will not guide the unbelieving people. (5:67) Muhammad immediately ordered Bilal to
 
recall the Muslims, who had gone ahead,who were behind and who were proceeding to their
 
homes at the junction, to assemble. The famous Sunni mutakallim and commentator, Fakhr ad-Din
 
ar-Razi in his At-Tafsir al-Kabir, vol. 12, pp. 49-50, writes that the Prophet took "Ali by the hand
 
and said: "Whoever whose mawla (master) I am, "Ali is his master. O Allah! Love him who loves
 
"Ali, and be the enemy of the enemy of "Ali; help him who helps "Ali, and forsake him who forsakes
 
"Ali."
 

 

Death

 
 On Muhammad"s return to Medina, he got busy settling the organization of the provinces and the
 
tribes which had adopted Islam. His strength rapidly failed and the poison (administered at
 
Khaybar by a Jewess) took its deadly toll. So ended the life dedicated to the service of God and
 
humanity from first to last, on 28th Safar, 11 AH.
 
The humble Preacher had risen to be the ruler of Arabia. The Prophet of Islam not only inspired
 
reverence, but love owing to his humility,nobility, purity, austerity, refinement and devotion to duty.
 
The Master inspired all who came into contact with him. He shared his scanty food; he began his
 
meals in the Name of Allah and finished them uttering thanks;he loved the poor and respected
 
them; he would visit the sick and comfort the heart broken; he treated his bitterest enemies with
 
clemency and forbearance,but the offenders against society were administered justice; his intellectual mind was remarkably progressive and he said that man could not exist without contant efforts.
 
There is no god but One God and Muhammad is the Apostle of God, peace and blessings of Allah
 
be upon him and his descendants.
