Muhammad's Companions: An Analysis Of The Great Messenger Of Pbuh
‘Abdullah bin Mas‘ud once said: If you are willing to follow a good example, then you can have a recourse in the tradition of the deceased, because the living are likely to fall an easy victim to oppression (so they might waver in faith). Follow the steps of Muhammad’s Companions. They were the best in this nation, the most pious, the most learned and the least pretentious. Allâh chose them to accompany the Prophet [pbuh] and establish His religion. Therefore, it is imperative to get to know their grace, follow their righteous way and adhere as much as you can to their manners and assimilate their biography. They were always on the orthodox path. There is then the great Messenger of Allâh [pbuh] whose moral visible attributes, aspects of perfection, talents, virtues, noble manners and praiseworthy deeds, entitle him to occupy the innermost cells of our hearts, and become the dearest target that the self MSA NIU 123 yearns for. …show more content…
The Prophet decided to ratify a treaty with them with clauses that provided full freedom in faith and wealth. He had no intention whatsoever of following severe policies involving banishment, seizure of wealth and land or hostility. The treaty came within the context of another one of a larger framework relating to inter-Muslim relationships. The most important provisions of the treaty are the following:
1. The Jews of Bani ‘Awf are one community with the believers. The Jews will profess their religion, and the Muslims theirs.
2. The Jews shall be responsible for their expenditure, and the Muslims for theirs.
3. If attacked by a third party, each shall come to the assistance of the other.
4. Each party shall hold counsel with the other. Mutual relation shall be founded on righteousness; sin is totally excluded.
5. Neither shall commit sins to the prejudice of the other.
6. The wronged party shall be

    The early Islamic Empire expanded throughout the years in three different ways. One way the empire expanded was through war to acquire additional land. In Document A it explains that the Muslims were fighting an impressive war and also that the Muslim women were fighting violently. Another reason the empire expanded was since the treaty persuaded several people to practice Islam. In Document B the treaty says that they will not perform anything wicked toward them for example putting them in jail or harassing them. This probably impressed people, which made them choose to practice such a peaceful and forgiving religion. The last reason why the early Islamic empire expanded was because people desired stipends. Stipends exist as payments which…

    The online editorial The Tolerance of the Prophet Towards Other Religions offers an example of his tolerance for others. The article expands on the Islamic ideologies that “one must ensure the peaceful coexistence of Muslims, Jews, Christians and polytheists.” This indicates that Muhammad wanted to coexist with others despite their religious differences and beliefs. Muhammad used peaceful methods in hopes of defusing violence, for example, he and his followers during the Hijrah marched to Mecca and conquered it without battle as stated in the article above. When comparing the lives lost, bloodshed, and mistreatment of the Saxons and the peaceful stance of the Muhammad it becomes clear they each were on opposing sides as to how a person should be allowed to practice their…

    Moses, for example, made a covenant with Yahweh on Mount Sinai, the principles from which are the foundation for the Judah Christian faith today, where he received the Ethical Decalogue (10 Commandments). As Drane states, “the commands were essentially moral requirements. Honesty, truth and justice were more important to Yahweh than the performance of religious rites.” Love of God and Love of Neighbour were the two commandments at the core of the Ethical Decalogue. The first three commandments central religious morality however, the last seven focus on Love of Neighbour and Social Morality. Winward states, “no man could be in a right relationship with God who was not in a right relationship with his fellow men.” The people of Israel had an obligation as the chosen people to obey the Ethical Decalogue.…

    Sunni, Shiite, and Sufi are three branches of Islam. The Shiite and Sunni’s were the first really major division of the Islamic religion. This division was the result of a political argument over who should precede Muhammed. Sunni’s name means tradition and they believed the legitimacy of the Orthodox caliphates, and based everything off those beliefs. Sunni’s believe that Muhammad did not designate a successor. Now Shiite’s get their name from the word Shia, which means faction. They believe that Muhammad did leave a successor and it was the son-in-law and cousin of Muhammad named, Ali. They do not believe the same thing as Sunnis and disagree and do not get along with them. Now Sufi’s are” a contemplative school of Islam that aims to develop an individual 's consciousness of God though chanting, recitation of litanies, music and physical movement (SCRUGGS, 2010, para. )” Sufis find the importance by approaching the inner meaning of god through mysticism. They want to find the hidden meanings of the world they do not read or follow the Qur’an as strictly and as a result have closer relationships to other religions (SCRUGGS,…
