Life and prophethood of Muhammad
Muhammad is seen as the Seal of the Prophets because he was the last prophet and because Muslims believe he was given Allah鈥檚 final guidance for Muslims. The guidance was written in the holy book the 蚕耻谤鈥檃苍 and is suitable for all Muslims as it teaches them how to be good and please Allah.
God and His angels bless the Prophet so, you who believe, bless him too and give him greetings of peace.
Muhammad鈥檚 parents died when he was young and his uncle raised him. Muhammad worked hard as a teenager and was married at the age of 25. He was concerned about the various idols that people were worshipping rather than just worshipping Allah.
One day in AD610, Muhammad was in a cave and an angel appeared to him. This was the angel JibrilThe angel Jibril (or Gabriel) is the angel who revealed the Qur'an to the Prophet Muhammed. who revealed to him that he had been chosen to be the next prophet of Allah. Muhammad was pleased that he had been chosen and went to tell his wife straight away. He removed all the idols that people were worshipping in order to allow people to focus their worship on Allah.
From this point onwards, the 蚕耻谤鈥檃苍 was revealed to Muhammad through Jibril. Some Muslims believe that the revelation took up to 23 years.
Muhammad is seen to be an excellent role model for Muslims and seen as a teacher of wisdom
