Muhammad

AI overview

Muhammad was God's messenger and the final prophet (33:40), sent to his own people in Arabia with the Quran. In a footnote Dr. Khalifa writes that God chose him from the strongest tribe of Arabia. The Quran says he was born into hardship. "Did He not find you orphaned and He gave you a home? He found you astray, and guided you. He found you poor, and made you rich" (93:6-8). His contemporaries already followed the religion of Abraham, and God inspired him to follow it too (16:123). In Dr. Khalifa's teaching, this is why the religious practices of Islam came down through Abraham, and the Quran came through Muhammad.

His mission began with a night journey. God "summoned His servant (Muhammad) during the night, from the Sacred Masjid (of Mecca) to the farthest place of prostration" (17:1). There he saw "great signs of his Lord" (53:18), and what he received was "divine inspiration" and not his own desire (53:3-4). Dr. Khalifa explains that on the 27th night of Ramadan, 13 years before the Hijrah, Muhammad's soul was given the whole Quran. Gabriel then released it to his memory a few verses at a time, and the Prophet wrote each part down with his own hand. Dr. Khalifa identifies the first verses released as "Read, in the name of your Lord, who created" (96:1-5).

His people rejected him. They called him crazy, and God answered, "you are not crazy" (68:2). They plotted to neutralize him, kill him, or banish him (8:30). When they chased him out, he was "one of two in the cave," and he told his friend, "Do not worry; GOD is with us" (9:40). The immigrants and the supporters who gave them refuge stood by him through the hard times (9:117). War followed. God gave the believers victory at Badr "despite your weakness" (3:123). At Uhud they won at first, but then they chased the spoils "even when the messenger was calling from behind you" (3:152-153). In the Battle of the Parties, God sent "violent wind and invisible soldiers" against the attackers (33:9).

The Quran also records his human moments. He frowned and turned away from a blind man who came to him eagerly, and gave his attention to a rich man instead (80:1-10). He hid what God wished to make public about Zeid's divorced wife because he feared the people. God then had him marry her to establish that a man may marry the divorced wife of his adopted son (33:37). The disbelievers barred him from the Sacred Masjid, and later God fulfilled his vision that the believers would enter it "perfectly secure" (48:25-27). The last sura revealed foretells people "embracing GOD's religion in throngs" (110:2).

The Quran draws a clear lesson from his life: "Muhammad was no more than a messenger like the messengers before him" (3:144). He did not perform miracles for his people. His miracle is the Quran itself (29:50-51). He had no power to benefit or harm anyone (10:49, 72:21). God, not Muhammad, calls people to account (13:40), and "All intercession belongs to God" (39:44). As Dr. Khalifa sums it up, his sole mission was "to deliver Quran, the whole Quran, and nothing but Quran". He was the last prophet but not the last messenger. Dr. Khalifa points out that after him God sends the Messenger of the Covenant (3:81, 33:7). In Dr. Khalifa's words, to love and honor Muhammad "is to follow Quran alone, and reject the fabrications attributed to him".

Muhammad was no more than a messenger like the messengers before him. Should he die or get killed, would you turn back on your heels? Anyone who turns back on his heels, does not hurt GOD in the least. GOD rewards those who are appreciative.

Not The Final Messenger

Muhammad was not the father of any man among you. He was a messenger of GOD and the final prophet. GOD is fully aware of all things.

*33:40 Despite this clear definition of Muhammad, most Muslims insist that he was the last prophet and also the last messenger. This is a tragic human trait as we see in 40:34. Those who readily believe God realize that God sends His purifying and consolidating Messenger of the Covenant after the final prophet Muhammad (3:81, 33:7).

Those who believe and work righteousness, and believe in what was sent down to Muhammad—which is the truth from their Lord—He remits their sins, and blesses them with contentment.
