Ch 3: Prophet Muhammad’s Final Years


Prophet Muhammad’s Final Years:

Muhammad returned to Madinah, which continued to be the political capital of the Islamic city-state. In 632 AD (10 AH) Muhammad went to Mecca as a pilgrim as he believed it was for the last time of his life. The revelation he received over there included the following verse
{{ This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islâm as your religion. }},( Holy Qur'an 5: 3).


Within few months after returning to Madinah, Muhammad, peace be upon him, died after a brief illness. He is buried in the grand Prophet’s Masjid( it is better to say Masjid for the mosque means the place that gathers mosquitos- Non Muslims who have used that term) in Madinah.

Ch 1: The Creator

Chapter One The Creator. The name Allah (God) in Islam is the personal name of God. The most concise definition of God in Islam is given in four verses of Surah Al- Ikhlaas in the Holy Qur'an : {{1. Say (O Muhammad): "He is Allâh , (the) One. 2. " Allâh-us-Samad (The Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, He neither eats nor drinks). 3. "He begetteth not not , nor is He begotten; 4 . " And there is none Like unto Him.}} (Holy Qur'an 112: 1-4). To Muslims, this four-line definition of Almighty God serves as the touchstone of the study of God. Any candidate to divinity must be subjected to this ‘acid test' and since the attributes of The Creator given in this chapter are unique, false gods and pretenders to divinity can be easily dismissed using these verses.  i ) The first criterion is «"Say, He is Allah, one and only". » Can there be more than one god?
