Read in the name of your Lord who created,
created man from clots of blood. Read! Your
Lord is the most Bounteous, who has taught the
use of the pen, has taught man what he did not
know. (Quran- Chapter 96)

other
Way of life as per Divine guidance, not human
desires
Divine Revelation

Total change. A Companion describes
  • Jafer(RA), a companion of Prophet Muhammad at the
    court of a Christian King in Abyssinia

Your majesty! We were ignorant people,
worshipping idols, eating carrion, oppressing
neighbors, brother fighting brother, the strong
dominating the weak, when amidst us was raised a
man (Muhammad) whose nobility, integrity and
trustworthiness were already well-known
He called us to worship God alone... he
commanded us to speak the truth, to honor our
promises, to be kind to our relations, to be
helpful to our neighbors, to cease all forbidden
acts, to abstain from bloodshed, to avoid
obscenities and false witness.

    the fragrance of perfumes

Generous, Humble and Peace maker
A Glimpse

    wounded him and chased him out of the city

    these were the very men who had inflicted
    insults
    and injuries to him

    general amnesty
    to the
    people who persecuted and tortured him
    and
    his followers

    revenge, no plunder
  • Victory meant humility to God

Blessings on the men of Madina, they gave us
wheat bread to eat when there was little of it,
contending themselves with dates- A Captive

The Message O People.
A Glimpse
  • The best of the ways is one trodden by the
    Prophets
  • The best of the actions is that which is
    beneficent.
  • The best guidance is that which is put into
    practice.
  • The most valuable possession is the contentment
    of heart.
  • The best provision is that of piety.
  • Remember that you will indeed meet your Lord, and
    that He will indeed reckon your deeds.
  • Beware of Satan for the safety of your religion.
    He has lost all hope that he will ever be able to
    lead you astray in big things, so beware of
    following him in small things.

18
Equality and Brotherhood
  • All mankind is from Adam and Eve.
  • An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a
    non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab
  • A white has no superiority over a black, nor a
    black has any superiority over a white- except by
    piety and good action.

Appointed Bilal (RA), a black and a negro slave,
as the first individual to the office of Muezzin
( Call to Prayer)
O mankind! We created you from a single (pair)
of a male and a female, and made you into
nations and tribes, that you may know each
other. Verily the most honored of you in the
sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. And
Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted
(with all things) (Quran- Chapter 49)
19
The Benefactor of women
First to accord higher status to women, first to
grant rights
20
Message for Men O Brothers
  • It is true that you have certain rights in regard
    to your women, but they also have rights over
    you.
  • Remember that you have taken them as your wives,
    only under Allah's trust and with His permission.
    If they abide by your right then to them belongs
    the right to be fed and clothed in kindness.
  • Do treat your women well and be kind to them, for
    they are your partners and committed helpers.
  • And it is your right that they do not make
    friends with anyone of whom you do not approve,
    as well as never to be unchaste.
