I bear witness that nothing is worthy of worship but Allah, Who is Alone, with no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad (sws, salla Allahu `alaihi wa sallam: may the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) is His slave and prophet. Oh Allah, let your peace be upon Muhammad (sws), the final prophet and messenger, his family, his companions and all those who followed him and upheld his traditions until the Day of Judgment. Allah, the Glorious and Exalted, defends his prophets and preserves their position amongst all creation, whether in the present life or after their death. Allah Almighty singled out His prophet, Muhammad (sws), with special protection, due to the severe oppression he suffered during his call to Islam and also due to the slander and accusations which continue to proceed from every misleading and misled group as it aims to defame Islam, the religion which Allah has elected to be the correct belief for the whole of mankind. Allah honored His prophet, Muhammad (sws), and raised him above all mankind by distinguishing him with outstanding moral features which could not have been found in any other human being. This research has compiled evidence, proofs, verses, signs and miracles (including the miraculous nature of the Quran) which combine to prove the prophecy of Muhammad (sws). Many brilliant scholars have studied this evidence (some of which is scientific), and become convinced of the Message of Muhammad (sws) and the trustworthiness of the Quran and Hadith (the sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad, sws). And the search is not over. With the progress of science, we may continue to discover more and more undeniable truths which have already been referenced in the Quran and Hadith. Yet, the fact that the Quran offered such detailed and accurate descriptions over 1400 years ago, when no one could possibly have had such precise knowledge, has made many knowledgeable people certain that the Quran is indeed a book from God (Allah), and that Muhammad (sws), who delivered these amazingly accurate statements, is a prophet sent by God (Allah). This research presents testimony, in the form of statements, admissions and declarations, offered by prominent scholars and scientists, all of whom witnessed that Muhammad (sws) is the prophet of Allah. It also examines quotations from the previous Divine scriptures, the Torah and the Gospels, which prove the prophecy of Muhammad (sws). 5 Muhammad (sws) Truly Is the Prophet of Allah This research provides a description of the morality of the Prophet Muhammad (sws): his character, behavior and way of thinking. This research has been composed and collected from many Islamic sources, and it ends with a brief exhortation. I ask Allah Almighty to accept this effort and all our good deeds. Allah says in the Quran: ﺑَ ْﻞ ﻧَ ْﻘ ِﺬ ُف ﺑِ ْﺎﻟ َﺤ ﱢﻖ َﻋ َﻠﻰ ْاﻟﺒَ ِﺎط ِﻞ ﻓَﯿَ ْﺪ َﻣ ُﻐﮫُ ﻓَﺈِ َذا ُھ َﻮ َز ِاھ ٌﻖ َوﻟَ ُﻜ ُﻢ ْاﻟ َﻮ ْﯾ ُﻞ ِﻣ ﱠﻤﺎ ﺗَ ِﺼﻔُ َﻮن This means, {Nay, we fling (send down) the truth (this Koran) against falsehood (disbelief), so it destroys it, and then falsehood is vanquished.} [Al-Anbiya 21:18] 6 Muhammad (sws) Truly Is the Prophet of Allah The Message of Muhammad (sws) It has always been Allah's Way to send His messengers when the world is in need of them, and when people have strayed from the correct path that will connect them to Allah. Allah sends messengers when people have become corrupt, when they differ in opinion and quarrel, and when they are in need of a law to reform their beliefs and connect people with one another in harmonic and intimate unity. Only at that point would people be properly able to thank their God for the blessings He granted them, for sending them a prophet with pure beliefs, noble morals and a straight-forward system of legislation, based on truth, virtue and justice. Allah says: ﯾ َﺎ أَﯾﱡ َﮭﺎ اﻟﻨﱠﺒِ ﱡﻲ إِﻧﱠﺎ أَ ْر َﺳ ْﻠﻨَ َﺎك َﺷ ِﺎھﺪاً َو ُﻣﺒَ ﱢﺸﺮاً َوﻧَ ِﺬﯾﺮا ً َو َد ِاﻋﯿﺎً إِ َﻟﻰ ﱠﷲِ ﺑِﺈِ ْذﻧِ ِﮫ َو ِﺳ َﺮاﺟﺎً ُﻣﻨِﯿﺮا ً It means, {O Prophet! Lo! We have sent thee as a witness and a bringer of good tidings and a Warner, and as one who invites to Allah (grace) by His leave, and as a lamp spreading light.} [Al-Ahzab 33: 45-46] And He says: ﯾَﺄْ ُﻣ ُﺮ ُھﻢ ﺑِ ْﺎﻟ َﻤ ْﻌ ُﺮ ِوف َوﯾَ ْﻨ َﮭ ُﺎھ ْﻢ َﻋ ِﻦ ْاﻟ ُﻤ َﻨﻜ ِﺮ َوﯾُ ِﺤ ﱡﻞ ﻟَ ُﮭ ُﻢ اﻟﻄﱠﯿﱢﺒَ ِﺎت َوﯾُ َﺤ ﱢﺮ ُم َﻋﻠَ ْﯿ ِﮭ ُﻢ ْاﻟ َﺨﺒَﺎﺋِ َﺚ َوﯾَ َﻀ ُﻊ َﻋ ْﻨ ُﮭ ْﻢ إِ ْﺻ َﺮ ُھ ْﻢ َواﻷَ ْﻏ َﻼل اﻟ ﱠﺘِﻲ َﻛﺎﻧَﺖْ َﻋﻠَ ْﯿ ِﮭ ْﻢ It means, {He will enjoin on them that which is right and forbid them that which is wrong. He will make lawful for them all good things and prohibit for them only the foul; and he will relieve them of their burden and the fetters that they used to wear.} [Al-A`raf 7: 157] And He also says: َﻛ َﻤﺎ أَ ْر َﺳ ْﻠﻨَﺎ ﻓِ ُﯿﻜ ْﻢ َر ُﺳﻮﻻً ﱢﻣ ُﻨﻜ ْﻢ ﯾَ ْﺘﻠُﻮ َﻋﻠَ ْﯿ ُﻜ ْﻢ آﯾَﺎﺗ ِ َﻨﺎ َوﯾُ َﺰ ﱢﻛ ُﯿﻜ ْﻢ َوﯾُ َﻌﻠﱢ ُﻤ ُﻜ ُﻢ ْاﻟ ِﻜﺘَ َﺎب َو ْاﻟ ِﺤ ْﻜ َﻤﺔَ َوﯾُ َﻌﻠﱢ ُﻤ ُﻜﻢ ﱠﻣﺎ ﻟَ ْﻢ ﺗَ ُﻜﻮﻧُ ْﻮا ﺗَ ْﻌﻠَ ُﻤ َﻮن It means, {Even as We have sent unto you a messenger from among you, who recites unto you Our revelations and causes you to grow, and teaches you the Scripture and wisdom, and teaches you that which ye knew not.} [Al-Baqarah 2: 151] 7 Muhammad (sws) Truly Is the Prophet of Allah Evidence to Prove the Prophecy of the Prophet Muhammad (sws) The First Proof: The Belief Prophet Muhammad (sws) Brought To understand the importance of the belief with which the Prophet Muhammad (sws) brought, we must notice the following: From Allah's Wisdom, the issue of belief was the first issue to be addressed from the very first day of the Prophet's message. Prophet Muhammad (sws) began his first steps in the call by asking people to testify that there is no god but Allah.

  • Pre-Islamic Arabia
    Pre-Islamic Arabia The Nomadic Tribes of Arabia The nomadic pastoralist Bedouin tribes inhabited the Arabian Peninsula before the rise of Islam around 700 CE. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Describe the societal structure of tribes in Arabia KEY TAKEAWAYS Key Points Nomadic Bedouin tribes dominated the Arabian Peninsula before the rise of Islam. Family groups called clans formed larger tribal units, which reinforced family cooperation in the difficult living conditions on the Arabian peninsula and protected its members against other tribes. The Bedouin tribes were nomadic pastoralists who relied on their herds of goats, sheep, and camels for meat, milk, cheese, blood, fur/wool, and other sustenance. The pre-Islamic Bedouins also hunted, served as bodyguards, escorted caravans, worked as mercenaries, and traded or raided to gain animals, women, gold, fabric, and other luxury items. Arab tribes begin to appear in the south Syrian deserts and southern Jordan around 200 CE, but spread from the central Arabian Peninsula after the rise of Islam in the 630s CE. Key Terms Nabatean: an ancient Semitic people who inhabited northern Arabia and Southern Levant, ca. 37–100 CE. Bedouin: a predominantly desert-dwelling Arabian ethnic group traditionally divided into tribes or clans. Pre-Islamic Arabia Pre-Islamic Arabia refers to the Arabian Peninsula prior to the rise of Islam in the 630s. Some of the settled communities in the Arabian Peninsula developed into distinctive civilizations. Sources for these civilizations are not extensive, and are limited to archaeological evidence, accounts written outside of Arabia, and Arab oral traditions later recorded by Islamic scholars. Among the most prominent civilizations were Thamud, which arose around 3000 BCE and lasted to about 300 CE, and Dilmun, which arose around the end of the fourth millennium and lasted to about 600 CE.

  • Saudi Arabia Under King Faisal
    SAUDI ARABIA UNDER KING FAISAL ABSTRACT || T^EsIs SubiviiTTEd FOR TIIE DEqREE of ' * ISLAMIC STUDIES ' ^ O^ilal Ahmad OZuttp UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF DR. ABDUL ALI READER DEPARTMENT OF ISLAMIC STUDIES ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 1997 /•, •^iX ,:Q. ABSTRACT It is a well-known fact of history that ever since the assassination of capital Uthman in 656 A.D. the Political importance of Central Arabia, the cradle of Islam , including its two holiest cities Mecca and Medina, paled into in insignificance. The fourth Rashidi Calif 'Ali bin Abi Talib had already left Medina and made Kufa in Iraq his new capital not only because it was the main base of his power, but also because the weight of the far-flung expanding Islamic Empire had shifted its centre of gravity to the north. From that time onwards even Mecca and Medina came into the news only once annually on the occasion of the Haj. It was for similar reasons that the 'Umayyads 661-750 A.D. ruled form Damascus in Syria, while the Abbasids (750- 1258 A.D ) made Baghdad in Iraq their capital. However , after a long gap of inertia, Central Arabia again came into the limelight of the Muslim world with the rise of the Wahhabi movement launched jointly by the religious reformer Muhammad ibn Abd al Wahhab and his ally Muhammad bin saud, a chieftain of the town of Dar'iyah situated between *Uyayana and Riyadh in the fertile Wadi Hanifa. There can be no denying the fact that the early rulers of the Saudi family succeeded in bringing about political stability in strife-torn Central Arabia by fusing together the numerous war-like Bedouin tribes and the settled communities into a political entity under the banner of standard, Unitarian Islam as revived and preached by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab.

  • Fatwâ : Its Role in Sharî'ah and Contemporary Society with South
    Fatwen Its Role in Shari 'di and Contemporary Society with South African Case Studies BY NASIM MITHA DISSERTATION Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS in ISLAMIC STUDIES in the FACULTY OF ARTS at the RAND AFRIKAANS UNIVERSITY SUPERVISOR: PROF. A.R.I. DOI CO - SUPERVISOR: PROF. J.F.J.VAN RENSBURG MAY 1999 Acknowledgement Praise be to Allah who in his infinite mercy has endowed me with the ability to undertake and complete this work on fanvci, a topic which has hitherto been neglected. Confusion regarding the concepts of fatwci, agOya, mufti, qcich and exikim abounds in the South African Muslim community. In consequence the entire Shatfah is misunderstood and misrepresented. It is my fervent hope that this study redresses this problem to some extent and induces others to produce further work on this topic. The Prophet (may peace be upon him) has reported to have said, "He who does not thank man has not thanked Allah." It is with these words of our master in mind that I acknowledge the efforts of all those who made this task possible. Firstly, I deeply appreciate the effort made by my teachers, and principal Moulana Cassim Seema of Dar al-Vitim Newcastle, who had guided me in my quest for Islamic knowledge and also to my sheikh of tasawwuf Moulana Ibrahim Mia for being my spiritual mentor. I thank my supervisor Professor `Abd al-Ralunan Doi at whose insistence this particular topic was chosen, and for the innumerable advice, guidance, and support afforded whilst the research was being undertaken.

  • WOMEN POLITICAL PARTICIPATION in the ERA of PROPHET MUHAMMAD: Study on the Hadith Transmitters of the Women Companions
    AL ALBAB Volume 6 Number 1 June 2017 WOMEN POLITICAL PARTICIPATION IN THE ERA OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD: Study on the Hadith Transmitters of the Women Companions Zunly Nadia STAISPA Yogyakarta Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Most of Moslem societies define the role of woman in the purely domestic sector. Some people consider that Islam stands against women’s role in public sectors believing that it has roots in the context of the prophet’s time. This work shows that there is no prohibitation for woman to take parts in the public and social affairs including in the area of political role. It was the case that some women companions of the prophet participated in the political role including Aisyah the wife of Nabi Saw, Asma binti Abu Bakar, Ummu Athiyah, Ummu Hani’ and Rubayyi’ bint Mu’awidz. In this paper, the writer focuses on woman companion hadith transmitters who are directly wrapped up in the missionary work with the prophet. In addition, this paper also shows the relation between woman com- panion transmitter activities and their hadith transmission, under assumption that the role of woman would influence the texts of the transmitted hadiths. It is because, as a text, hadith was transmitted in the certain context and condition. Accordingly, every transmitter had different hadith transmission based on her context, status, profession, and even gender construction. Therefore, this paper discusses the woman companion transmitters who play their role in the field of politics and also their influence in their transmitted hadiths. Keywords: Politics, role of women, transmitter, hadith. INTRODUCTION Women have at least two roles regarding the roles of women i.e.

  • The Life, Teachings and Influence of Muhammad Ibn Abdul-Wahhaab 3
    The Life, Teachings and Influence of Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhaab 3 I The Motivation Behind This Work This book is not one with a political agenda. It is meant neither to support nor to critique any contemporary regimes or policies.1 Indeed, the driving force behind this work is much greater and more important than that. It has to do with, first, the religion of Islam as preached by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) himself and, second, with the honor and rights of an individual Muslim, Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhaab. The name Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhaab (and correspondingly “Wahhabis” and “Wahhabism”) has been heard quite often throughout both the Muslim and non-Muslim worlds during the past two centuries. In reality, ibn Abdul-Wahhaab is not a man who is “shrouded in mystery.” His writings, as well as the writings of his closest students and descendents, are well-known and easily available today in virtually any part of the world. Although he is not shrouded in mystery what has been said about him over the years has definitely been filled with both fact and fiction. Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhaab was both a fellow human being and a fellow Muslim. As such, he has the right to be studied in an impartial and objective manner. That is, he has the right to a “fair trial.” No matter how much one may oppose his teachings, one does 1 This means that many issues that are bandied about today must be considered beyond the scope of this particular work.
