The Message of Peace in Prophet’s Teachings
The message of peace in Prophet’s teachings
There is no Deity (worthy of worship) except Allah (The One True God) and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.
The mission of Prophet Muhammad was to restore the worship of the One True God, the creator and sustainer of the universe, and to demonstrate and complete the laws of moral, ethical, legal, and social conduct and all other matters of significance for the humanity at large. He is considered the “Seal of the Prophets,” which means the bringer of the final revelations from God, and God will not send another prophet after him.
The Qur’an, the divinely revealed scripture that is the actual word of God in the Arabic language, describes him in many honorable terms, such as, “The best example to follow,” “Mercy to the worlds,” and “On a sublime morality.” In the following pages, an attempt will be made to review how he conducted himself to earn those praises bestowed on him by the Lord of the universe.
He propagated Islam, which means peace by submission and obedience to the Will and Commandments of God. Those who accept Islam are called Muslims – those who have accepted the message of peace by submission to God. Before discussing his teachings and the message he wished to spread, given below is his life and the influence he had, and still continues to have.
Political Philosopher and Islamic thinker, Abul A’la Mawdudi’s picture of Muhammad:
“He is entirely different from the people among whom he is born and with whom he spends his youth and early manhood. He never tells a lie. The whole nation is unanimous in testifying to his truthfulness. . . . He is the very embodiment of modesty in the midst of a society which is immodest to the core. . . . He helps the orphans and the widows. He is hospitable to travelers. He harms no one . . . [He] is such a lover of peace that his heart melts for the people when they take up arms and cut each other’s throats. . . . In brief, the towering and radiant personality
