When did Muhammad find Islam?
Asked by Wiki User
Islam does not trace its ancestry back only to Hazrat Abraham (AS). However, the last Prophet of Islam Hazrat Muhammad (May peace be upon him) was the grand, grand son of Hazrat Ismaiel (AS)m who was the son of Hazrat Abraham (AS).
Islam is the heavenly religion It is not limited to any particular region or country. The first Man and Prophet of Almighty God Hazarat Adam (AS) started Islam Religion. Islam is the set of rules given by Almighty God to the Prophets from time to time for the guidance of humans, especially when they turned astray. These rules were given to Hazrat Adam (AS), Hazrat Noa (AS), Hazrat Abraham (AS), Hazrat Moses (AS), Hazrat Jesus Christ (AS) and the last of the series of Prophets Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (May peace be upon him). He was born in Makka, Arabia in 570 AD and started preaching Islam in 610 AD when the first verses of the holy Qur'an were revealed to him.
Thus Islam is the heavenly religion given step by step as human society advanced. It was completed at the last Prophet but the message of all the Prophets (May peace be upon them all) was the same: ONENESS of Almighty God Who alone is the Creator, Sustainer, Provider and Ruler of all the worlds He has created. He has No Son, No Parents and No Partner or Associate. The idea of Trinity was Not given by Hazrat Jesus Christ (May peace be upon him). It was invented much later. There have been about 1,25,000 Prophets who preached the message of Almighty God to human beings. Thus Islam is as old as human history on the earth.

What do Muslims learn by praying?
Asked by Wiki User
its in one of the five pillars of Islam that Muslims must pray 5 times a day and face mecca when they pray.
Why do we do it? As societies worldwide flourish and Islam stands to be the fastest growing religion of the world, we sometimes see a disturbing deviation within the Muslim Ummah. Forget society, forget those who are converting and reverting, forget those who are just introducing themselves to Islam. I'm talking about us: those born and raised into Muslim families and taught the values of Islam and the teachings of the Prophets and Imams (peace be upon them). For everything that we have been taught and nurtured with, we find ourselves constantly doubting the actions we perform and the teachings we follow. But Islam stands to be a religion of logic, from the time of Muhammad, and it will remain so till the mountains crumble, the Earth flattens, and the final trumpet is blown.
One of the most asked questions within our community today is, 'Why do we have to pray?' More often than not, we see arrogance taking over people's minds, boasting that there is no need for prayer. And if they do pray, it is ritualistically and taken very lightly.
So people ask, why do we have to pray? And I only respond, '
Do you not find it worthy to thank Him, the One who has given you everything, and the One Who can take all that away from you if He so wishes overnight?'
In understanding why we pray, there are several factors that need to be understood first, before coming to the essence of prayer itself. The first is understanding and believing that there is a Hereafter, a life after death, one more permanent and Just by the Grace of
Allah. For all the injustices and crimes caused in this world, there must be a time of exposing the truth. In accepting the faith of Islam, we have accepted that there will be a Hereafter, and that this world is only transitory.So knowing that, we also understand that we must send our deeds forth, to serve as a light and support on the Day of Reckoning, where we will be held accountable for all that we have done in this world. We know that everything we do here will either form benefits or punishment in the afterlife. It is all about prioritizing and being prepared.
Allah does not need our prayers, so the question of prayer still remains. But if only we understood that the power of
prayer is such that, though we gift it to Allah, for all His Mercy and Blessings, He gifts it back, allowing it to serve as the beacon guiding us on that Day when no wealth, money, or children, will stand beside us.Have we ever thought of how busy our lives are? We are either rushing to go to work, to finish assignments, to do chores, and to have life sorted out; we are constantly on the run! Have we ever imagined that if Allah wanted, we could lose our job? We could lose our
family? Our ability to function and think?It is due to His Grace that we get up in the morning, and it is due to His Grace that we sleep at night.
In this world, we openly believe in the moral values of thanking someone when they do us a favor or help us in some way. So why is it one rule for the people and another rule for the Supreme Power? Is it not Him we are answerable to? Yet we tend to care what people think of us more.
So if we accept our morals and values, and the basic service to humanity, then we must also accept that we have to thank Allah for the gift of breathing, talking, and
walking. We must thank Him for every ability we have - because we know and are fully aware, that all of it can be taken from us in a matter of seconds. And what better way to thank Him than the form of prayer?In making it mandatory, Allah has only done us a favor, so that we may continue adding to our good deeds, as remembering Him is a Mercy in itself and also rewarding for us.
As we stand at the designated time in front of our Lord and raise our hands to attest that
God is Truly Great, we affirm our acknowledgement of His Supremacy, His Bounties, and His Power. What better way to thank He Who Created Us and gave us everything?In our busy lives with our never-ending agendas, it is nothing short of beneficial for us to stop everything we are doing at that precise moment in time when the call of Ibrahim is echoed throughout the world, and praise Him Who gave us the ability to wake up that morning, and He who granted us the honor of being raised in a religion that promotes direct communication with the Creator.
Thank Him, because thanking Him through compulsory prayer five times a day is sowing the seeds of reward that we will reap on that Day when none other than our deeds shall come to our aid.How many times is prophet Yusuf's name mentioned in the Qur'an?

What did Gabriel say to Muhammad on first Quran revelation?
Asked by Wiki User
The first God word revealed by the Angel Gabriel to prophet Muhammad (PBUH), while in cave Hira in Mecca, was 'Iqra' that means read or recite. The first verses revealed by God to the Prophet through the angel Gabriel are that of chapter 96, named 'Al-Alaq', that says:

{Read: In the name of the Lord Who creates, (1) Creates man from a clot. (2) Read: And thy Lord is the Most Bounteous, (3) Who teaches by the pen, (4) Teaches man that which he knew not. (5)}

.
Arabic
Muhammad (PBUH) spoke in Arabic, one which differs slightly from the modern Arabic spoken today.
The Prophet Muhammad spoke Fus'ha Arabic, which is the type of Arabic that the Qur'an is written in.
Weather or not the above answer is true or false doesn't matter because whatever language Muhammad (PBUH) spoke wasn't what Jibril (Gabriel) spoke because Muhammad (PBUH) was unlearned in the language of The Holy Qur'an.
Prophet Mohammed (peace upon him) spoke Arabic.

Where are the most followers of Islam located?
Asked by Wiki User
Many people think, by mistake, that the majority of Islam followers live in the Middle East or are Arabs. In reality 62% of all Muslims worldwide live in the Asia-Pacific region, which includes 61 countries and territories, where six Asian countries are having the largest Muslim populations; namely:
- Indonesia (203 million),
- Pakistan (174 million),
- India (161 million),
- Bangladesh (145 million),
- Iran (74 million) and
- Turkey (74 million).
These only six countries are home to more than half (53%) of the global Muslim population and about 85% of Asia's Muslim population.
Whereas, the Middle East together with North Africa region, which includes 20 countries and territories, is home to only about 20% of the world's Muslim population and having around 315 million Muslims. Of these, 315 million Muslims, around 79 million Muslims live in Egypt, meaning that about one-in-four (25%) Muslims in the region live in Egypt.
Also, by mistake some think that the Majority Muslims are surrounding Israel. This is again wrong. Out of around 1600 million Muslims world wide, the Muslim countries surrounding Israel totals around 105 million Muslims. These countries are: Egypt (~79 million Muslims), Jordan (~ 6 million Muslims), Syria (~ 20 million Muslims) and Lebanon (2.5 million Muslims). Even the Muslim Palestinians are ~ 4 million Muslims.
Muslims in the US are less than 2.5 millions (~0.8% of US total population).
