Prophet's Story

THE STORY OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD SAW (part1)

As is known, the Prophet Muhammad is an important figure in the history of Islam. In fact, it can be said, all Muslims must have known the figure of a prophet with all this goodness and humility.

He is also called as a messenger of Allah who became the rule of all Muslims in the world. From the prophetic age to the modern age.

Prophet Muhammad SAW itself is the last prophet sent by Allah to guide the people of the world. Where Allah made Prophet Muhammad as the concluding prophet and no later prophet became the messenger of Allah.

This is what causes the Prophet Muhammad to have the title as Khataman Nabiyyin, or the last prophet. As the ultimate messenger of Allah, Prophet Muhammad perfected the teachings of Allah which had been delivered by the previous prophets.

as the last prophet, the journey of Prophet Muhammad is not separated from the effort to call all mankind to worship Allah and show them the straight path in world affairs and the Hereafter.

Just like the previous prophets, Prophet Muhammad also received extraordinary revelation from Allah SWT. But this time, Allah gave a revelation in the form of a guide for the Prophet Muhammad to read the holy book of the Quran in order to be bright in living life.

In addition to the revelation given, the story of the other Prophet Muhammad is also no less interesting to listen to. Starting from the birth of Prophet Muhammad himself to the story of the death of this glorious messenger of God.

Reporting from the site Zakat.or.id, the following we have summarized the story of Prophet Muhammad, the journey of birth to the death of a prophet as well as the messenger of Allah.

The story of the first Prophet Muhammad comes from the birth of Prophet Muhammad himself. As is known, the birth of the Prophet Muhammad coincided with the events of the elephant troops who were trying to knock down the Ka’bah.

At that time, Allah sent the ababil birds to drop the stones carrying the plague to the Elephant troops who were trying to destroy the holy and historic place of Muslims, Ka’bah.

In this year of the Elephant, Prophet Muhammad was born in Makkah, and grew up as an orphan because the father of Prophet Muhammad, Abdullah had died before the Prophet Muhammad was born. Muhammad was educated and raised by a noble mother, Aminah.

At the age of eight years after the departure of his grandfather, Prophet Muhammad was then taken care of by his uncle, Abu Talib. Despite the lack of life or difficulties in providing for life, Abu Talib was a philanthropist who diligently shared and gave alms to others.

Despite the difficult circumstances, the Prophet Muhammad was able to grow and develop well with his uncle.

After the birth, the story of the next Prophet Muhammad that deserves to be an example is the event of the first revelation from Allah to the Prophet Muhammad. Before being made an apostle, Allah gave the Prophet Muhammad a gift of privilege.

One of them was his face that shone brightly, able to defeat the moonlight. It is said to be a sign of the greatness of God that denotes the last prophet with glory and high standing.

In addition to the gift of a shining face, the Prophet was also given the first truly remarkable revelation of Allah SWT. Towards the descent of the first revelation, the Prophet had a dream in which the Angel Gabriel came to him.

The Prophet Muhammad pondered and thought about his dream, aloof in the Cave of Hira. Then in that place, Muhammad was shown by Allah that his dream was true.

At that time, the Angel Gabriel came to the Messenger of Allah and sent down the first revelation given by Allah SWT. That's when, Allah sent down the verse from QS Al-Alaq 1 – 4, which is as follows :

“Read with (call) the name of your God who created, He has created man from a clot of blood. Read, and your Lord is the Most Gracious, Who teaches (man) by the way of kalam. He taught man what he did not know.” (QS. Al-‘Alaq, 1-4)

After that, Muhammad returned with fear. But this is where the apostolic story of Prophet Muhammad begins.

Where the Prophet Muhammad as the last messenger who will bring peace to all mankind.
