Islam is one of the most peaceful religion in the whole world; there are very few people who exactly know the history of Islam. Islam is also called the religion of the Prophets and specially related to our Holy Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H). It was about 1400 years ago in the 570 A.D a child was born whose name was Muhammad and later on he had become the Prophet of one of the great religion called Islam. He was born to the family related to the clan of Quraish which was among the powerful communities of Mecca at that time.
At that time Mecca was
considered as the hub of trading that is the reason many prominent and wealthy
people accommodated there. Our Holy Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) father had died
before the birth of Muhammad (P.B.U.H). Mother of our Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H)
died after the birth of Muhammad (P.B.U.H). After that the care of our beloved
Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) was taken by his grandfather whose name was Hazrat Abdul
Mutlib and real name was Shaiba, he was the head of Banu Hashim community at
that time. Later on when his grandfather had also died than take care of Muhammad
(P.B.U.H) was raised to Abu Talib who was the uncle of our Prophet.
There was a ritual
that every born child had to live with other well known community of that time
that is the reason our Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) had sent to a Bedouin family. This
ritual leaved a deep impact on the life of our Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H). His life
was full of hard work, troubles and other difficult things but with all these
our Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) blessed with excellent and heart winning qualities.
He has patience, well behaved and speaking was his proudest art. The life our
Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) was hidden or private but when he blessed with the label
of Prophet then he came out and shared his thoughts. When He was 20 years old
he first married to the widow named Hazrat Khadija (R.A). He had two sons by
Hazrat Khadija (R.A) but unfortunately no one could survive and 4 daughters by
her.
When our Holy Prophet
Muhammad (P.B.U.H) was at the age of 40, one day he was in the cave of Hira
according to their normal routine and suddenly the greatest event of Islam took
place, where He was blessed officially by ALLAH's messenger. This news convey
by the most sacred angel of ALLAH, Hazrat Jibraeel (A.S). The Angel tried to teach
Muhammad (P.B.U.H) but He was unable to do 3 times. Finally Muhammad recited
the message of ALLAH which is mentioned in QURAN 96 chapter. Hazrat Muhammad
(P.B.U.H) first revealed this situation to his wife Hazrat Khadija (R.A) and
later on their close relative or companions.
Later on our Holy
Prophet (P.B.U.H) spread Islam and their close companions joined them and proclaim
that ALLAH is one and he is our greatest Lord. In the early ages of Islam,
teaching of Islam was conducted secretly but later on they all were taught
openly to the people of Mecca. The ALLAH's message is only conveyed by Muhammad
(P.B.U.H). There are many people who rejected their message, even many people
who belong to their own tribe refused to accept Islam. Abu Jehal is the leader
of the community who were against the preaching of Islam. They all blame that,
it was black magic or the mission of Muhammad and much more. To accept Islam
you must accept that ALLAH is one and there is no companion with ALLAH, this is
one of the top and basic necessities to enter in the circle of Islam.
