Muhammad (PBUH) is a perfect man ever on the earth, He was the one who did what he said. He always called people towards Islam The true religion, no matter what people said about him no matter what people did to him. He always prayed Allah to give them hidayah, bring them to the right path who are disbelievers. Although Muhammad (PBUH) was uneducated, He never spoke a word which has contradicted ever since. He spoke on every field of life like history, theory, metaphysics, biology physics, medicine, trade, way of living etc etc. Each and every word He spoke is true as He said by his own that "Every word coming out of my mouth is true and is coming out on the orders of ALLAH". Because of His character, people of Makkah used to name him Sadiq and Amin. He Always spoke the truth, did what was said by ALLAH. He did not only discribed the Quran and Hadees and Islam but He practically did what he said and asked people to do what ALLAH said. He was the king after his prophet-hood but lived like a poor man. He suffered so many hardships after his prophet-hood.

Answer 3

Mohammed made numerous achievements.

Prophethood/Messengerhood: Islam holds that there have been thousands of Prophets disseminated to the far corners of the planet to tell people to be monotheistic. However, there were only five Messengers of God. The difference being that a Messenger brings a Divinely Extant Book to the Earth by way of his prophecy. The five Messengers of God were Adam, Noah, Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed. Moses brought the people the Torah and Jesus brought the people the Gospel. These books, in Islamic belief, were originally perfect copies of the Divine Versions of these Scriptures. In time, they were corrupted from their original meaning. Mohammed brought down the Qur'an in an act of Finality. His act of Prophethood was so great and important that he was never to be followed.

Transmission of the Qur'an: Mohammed received the final message from God which was, in Islamic tradition, the only Divine Message that was properly recorded as given. The Qur'an, the Divine Book of Islam, is considered a verbatim recollection of the words imprinted onto Mohammed's heart. Since it is the clearest indicator of the Divine Will, his willingness and fortitude in transmitting it is praised.

Islamic State: Mohammed was not only a religious leader (a modern Imam), but was a theocrat, actively building and maintaining a community. In so doing, he set up a number of the systems and traditional mechanisms that hold a Muslim Community together and provide a blueprint for an Islamic State. The Islamic Community of Yethrib (now called Medina), which he founded and led prior to victory over Meccan Forces, is used as the "role model community" for nearly every strain of Islam. Feminists point to some of his edicts as being more feminist than other societies and Conservatives point to some of his edicts as being more traditional. Regardless, the desirability of replicating the Yethribi Community cannot be overstated.

Hakam: During his life as a leader of the Islamic Communities he served as a Judge or Arbitrator. This term is known as "Hakam" in Arabic. He would settle disputes between different Muslims or between Muslims and Non-Muslims or between groups of Non-Muslims. As a Hakam, he created much of Islamic Case Law or Hadith. The Hadith were remarks made by Mohammed or actions he took in response to these legal issues. The Hadith form a much larger corpus of law than the Qur'an strictly read.

Character: Muslims believe Mohammed's character to be unassailable and virtuous. Similarly to how they wish to emulate his community in their communities, they wish to emulate his lifestyle in their lives.

Warrior: Mohammed was a very capable warrior and was famed for being such a strong man than he would wear two sets of armor into battle. (Armor was heavy in those days.) This militant aspect to Mohammed was necessary as the Meccans (the dominant Arabian city-state) were opposed to Islam and made several attempts to conquer Yethrib and remove Islam. Had the Meccans been successful, Islam would not exist today. In addition to his heroism on the battlefield, Mohammed also was a good orator, preparing his followers before the battles for the hardship to come.

Islamic Imperialism: By conquering other Arabian Tribes, Mohammed set the precedent of how Islam would function. He tolerated monotheistic tribes in Arabia and made peace with them. At the same time he demanded conversion from pagans or henotheists to Islam. Furthermore, after the Fall of Mecca, the Islamic Empire (still under Mohammed) expanded rapidly to the entire Arabian Peninsula. This precedent of quick conquest (within a few years) also gave direction to the faith. The strength of these Empires served as a witness to many Muslims of the strength and veracity of their faith.

Praise be to Allah, the Almighty, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the Universe, and peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, last of the Prophets, and upon all those who adhere to his example until the Day of Judgement.The Mushrik Nobles in Makkah wanted ti silence Muhammad alihisalam because He wanted people to worship 1 Allah Kareem and stop worshipping millions of Self dessined Gods:Muhammad alihisalam wanted people to say "O Allah u r 1 we worship u alone without associating any partners to U and only Your assistance do we seek". The Nobles Knew if People got aware about truth ,it will be difficult for these nobles to Loot/Fool people and eat their money in the name of religion or good deeds.

Some of the main Teachings of Muhammad Last Prophet towards whole mankind [peace be upon him and his faithful beautiful Suhabahs/campanions that include Aba Bakr, Ummar ibnil Khattab,Usmaan bin Afaan & Ali Radhiyallahuanhoo] is:-

Faith is the foundation upon which the whole structure of nations is based. Therefore, the progress of each nation is dependent upon the maintenance of its faith and ideology. Thus, all Prophets (peace be upon them) have called for true faith. Every Prophet told his people from the very beginning, "Worship Allah, the Almighty. You have no other god but Him".(1) "We assuredly sent amongst every people an Apostle, (with the command), Serve Allah and eschew evil".(2) This is because Allah the Almighty created all people to worship Him alone and set up no associate to Him. "I have only created jinns and men that they may worship Me".(3)

Worship is the exclusive right of Allah owed to Him by His creation mankind. Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) once said to Muath ibn Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him): "Do you know what duties and rights people have towards Allah'? The duty of mankind towards Allah is to worship Him and attribute no partner to Him. The right of mankind is that Allah will not torture those who do not attribute any partner to Him".(4) This right of worship is the foremost right of Allah owed to Him by His people. "Your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him." (5) "Say : Come, I will recite to you what Allah has really forbidden to you : Join not any-thing as equal with Allah".(6)

This right has priority over all other rights because it is the foundation upon which all other precepts of the religion (of Islam) are based.

Therefore, the Prophet (peace be upon him) during the thirteen years of his preaching in Makkah, constantly called upon people to observe this right of Allah and forbid any partner to Him. The Holy Quran in most of its verses, has confirmed this concept and negated any resemblance to Him. Every Muslim in his five daily prayers pledges to Allah to observe this right by saying, "You alone do we worship and only Your assistance do we seek". (7)

This great right is referred to as the singleness of worship, deity or objective and purpose. This monotheism is ingrained in man's nature. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said "Every child is born with a (pure) innate character. His parents may turn him to become a Jew, a Christian or Mazdist" (8). Therefore, believing in the oneness of Allah is innate and original, whereas idolatry is spurious and unnatural. Man will deviate from the right path only because of false upbringing and surroundings. Allah the Almighty stated in the Holy Quran "Mankind was one single nation, and Allah sent messengers with glad tidings and warnings; and with them He sent the Book, in truth, to judge between people in matters wherein they differed".(9) Simarly, He, the Almighty, also stated in they Holy Quran "Mankind was but one nation, but differed later". (10)

Moreover, Ibn Abbas (May Allah be pleased with him) said, "Ten centuries lapsed from Adam to Noah (peace be upon them and all people adhered to Islam during that perished". (11) Ibn-ulQaiyim, the learned scholar, commented on this by saying "This interpretation (by Ibn Abbas) of the above verse is correct."(12) He cited examples from the Holy Quran to support this idea an confirmed it in his commentary, "The Meaning of the Quran".

The first incident of polytheism took place among the people of Noah when they exceeded the limits of respect for their saints and started worshipping them despite exhortation by their Prophets. As it is stated in the Holy Quran"And they have said (to each other), abandon not your gods : abandon neither Wadd for Suwa, neither Yaguth not Yauq".(13) Bukhari quoted Ibn Abbas as saying that "The above names were those of pious men among the people of Noah. When these pious men died, Satan suggested to the people of Noah that they erect statues of those pious men in their homes and call the statues by these pious men's names. Thus, people did so, but did not worship the statues. The statues, however, in later generations become idols to be worshipped." (14)

Muhammad was a trader and camel train owner before becoming a prophet.
According to Islamic sources, Muhammad was a Trader under the employment of Khadija, who was so impressed with his conduct, they later married!

______________________________________________________________

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) worked first as shepherd then as a trader on behalf of Khadija (God be pleased with her) who admired his honesty, seriousness, and refraining himself from drinking alcohols and/or performing illegal sex without marriage besides his popular good characters and conduct among the Makkahns. Accordingly, she offered to marry him especially that the prophet was belonging to the highest family in Makkah (or Mecca). They later got married and Khadija was the best support to him when he was chosen by God as the prophet and when Quran revealed to him by God. She was the first woman to convert to Islam.

Answer A How to Convert to Islam

From your Islam Guide

If you believe in the teachings of Islam, it is recommended to make a formal declaration of faith. After careful study and prayer, if you find that you want to embrace the faith, here's how:

1. For a Muslim, every action begins with your intention. Quietly, to yourself, make the intention to embrace Islam as your faith.
2. Say the following words with clarity of intention, firm faith and belief:
3. Say: "Ash-hadu an la ilaha ill Allah." (I bear witness that there is no deity but Allah.) "Wa ash-hadu ann Muhammad an-rasullulallah." (And I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.)
4. Take a shower for whole body, symbolically cleansing yourself of your past life. Then you start your life free from all sins before entering into Islam; as if you are born again.
5. Learn how to pray and practice Islam in your daily life.
6. Read about Islam teachings and Islam 5 pillars (see related questions below for more information).
7. Continue to learn, study, and grow in your new faith.

Tips:

• Before embracing Islam, be sure to spend time studying the faith, reading books, and learning from other Muslim Aleem/Scholer(Ordinary Muslim may not have enough knowledge).
• Your conversion should be based on knowledge, certainty, acceptance, submission, truthfulness, and sincerity.
• It is not required to have Muslim witnesses to your conversion, but many prefer to have such support.
• If you wish to go for Hajj (pilgrimage), a "certificate of Islam" may be required. Contact your local Islamic center to obtain one.

Answer B

To become a Muslim one must have faith in the religion, go to a mosque, and follow the directions of the instructors there, one of which is saying in Arabic: "There is only one god and Mohammad (PBUH) is his last messenger."

You have to recite the 'dua kalimah syahadah'. It goes like this (I made the words simpler for you to pronounce since you are non-Muslim):

Ashhadu alla illaha illallah

Wa ashhadu ana muhammada rasulullah

Answer D

Islam, a name given by Allah to this religion (Quran 5:4), is an Arabic word which literally means obedience and peace. ISLAM is derived from the Arabic root "SALEMA": peace, purity, submission and obedience. So 'Islam' would mean the path of those who are obedient to Allah and who establish peace with Him and His creatures. Its follower are called Muslims.

Islam is not a new religion. It is, in essence, the same message and guidance which Allah revealed to all prophets before Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. Allah says in the Qur'ân:

"Say, `We believe in ALLAH and that which has been revealed to us, and that which was revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and in that which was given to Moses and Jesus and other Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them and to HIM we submit." (Qur'ân 3-85)

Six main Articles of faith in Islam

• To believe in the Oneness of Allah.
• To believe in all His Angels.
• To believe in all His Books.
• To believe in all His Prophets.
• To believe in the Day of Resurrection.
• To believe in the Decree of Allah

The Five Pillars of Islam (Declaration of the Islamic Faith)

In order to enter into the fold of Islam i.e. to be Muslim, one has to know, believe, accept totally and sincerely apply the five basic principles (Pillars) on which Islam is based: Ibn Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allah - Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) said: Islam is based on the following five pillars (principles).

1. Bearing witness that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah
2. Observance of Prayer
3. Paying Zakat
4. Fasting during Ramadhan
5. Pilgrimage to the house of Allah.

"Ash-hadu anla elaha illa-Allah WA ash-hadu unna muhammaden rasul-Allah"

English:

"I bear witness that there is no deity worthy to be worshiped but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger."

This declaration is one of the core beliefs in Islam.

The sunnah is the sayings and practices/doings of prophet Muhammad; peace be upon him
It means prophet Muhammad (PBUH) sayings and practices. This should be followed by Muslims together with Quran teachings.

Answer:

The word "sunnah" means a way, a practice. It is like the term "method of operation".

This word can apply to anyone - even God. God has "a way" of dealing with His creation.

In Islamic terminology, the 'Sunnah' means the way and example of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him - PBUH). The 'Sunnah' includes things that Muhammad said and did - even down to how he wore his clothes - and things that he approved or disapproved of.

The wisdom of this is that God reaveals a scripture, and the Prophet to whom He reveals it then shows his people how to live by that scripture. He is our example. For instance God, in the Qur'an, tells us to pray. Without the example of our beloved Muhammad (PBUH), we would not know how or when to pray. He showed us.

Therefore, we follow the Qur'an, and the Sunnah. That is why we are called 'Sunni' Muslims. We are the majority. 85%. We are the true, orthodox Muslims. Other groups - like the Shiah - are off in left field, inventing all kinds of incorrect things and falling away from what Muhammad taught.
