Muhammad Saw, The Greatest Prophet Of All Time

Muhammad was born in 570 AD, the city of Mecca, in southern Arabian Peninsula recently, a place that time is the most backward regions in the world, far from the center of commerce, art and science. He was orphaned at the age of six, grew up in a situation of a simple and humble. Islamic sources say that Muhamnmad illiterate. New economic situation began to improve at the age of twenty-five years old when he married a widow to be. However, until almost forty years of age keluarbiasaannya tracks barely visible as human.
In general, the Arabs at that time did not embrace a particular religion, but a pagan city of Mecca in a small number of followers, the followers of Judaism and Christianity, and their chances of Muhammad, first heard of the existence of an Almighty God who establishes all of nature. When he was forty, Muhammad believed that God Almighty is saying something to him and chose to become a propagator of the faith.
During the three years to spread the religion of Muhammad is limited only to close friends and relatives. When we entered the new year 613, began to appear in public. Once fans began to arrive, the governor of Mecca, regarded as a danger, mischief maker. In 622 years, concerned for his safety, Muhammad moved to Medina, a city north of Mecca is 200 miles. In the city was offered a position of political power is very compelling.
Events migrate is an important turning point for the life of the Prophet. In Mecca it was difficult to obtain a small number of followers, and followers of Medina grew so fast in the rhythm which may influence that makes the real power holders. In the following years as the followers of Muhammad mushroomed, a series of battles erupted between Mektah and Medina. This war ended with the victory of Muhammad in 630 at the party, returned to Mecca as conqueror. The remaining two and a half years of his life witnessed extraordinary progress in terms of speed Arab tribes embraced Islam. And when Muhammad died in 632, was sure it was effective authority throughout the south of the Arabian Peninsula.
Bedewi tribes had hereditary tradition as strong and brave warriors. But their number is not much and the temptation divisions and face each other. That's why they can not defeat the army of the kingdoms established in agricultural areas in the northern hemisphere. However, it was the first person of Muhammad in history, thanks to a strong sense of confidence in the unity of God, a small Arab armies were able to make an astonishing series of conquests in human history. In northeastern New Spain was the Sasanian Persian Empire wide. In northwestern Saudi was Byzantine or Eastern Roman Empire with Constantinople as its center.
Judging by the number and size standpoint, certainly not Arabs would be able to deal with it. However, in the field of battle, Arab armies with ardent zeal for lightning can conquer Mesopotamia, Syria and Palestine. 642 In Egypt captured from the clutches of the Byzantine Empire, and meanwhile the Persian army got beat in a very decisive battle in the year 637 and in 642 years Nehavend Qadisiya.
However, large-scale conquest - under the leadership of the Prophet's companions and his successor, Abu Bakr and Umar ibn al-Khattab - show no stop signs there. In 711, Arab armies had swept North Africa to the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. Thence north and crossed the Strait of Gibraltar and off Visigoths in Spain.
At first glance one should think that Muslims cleared all Christians in Europe. But in 732, in the famous battle and terrible in Tours, a Muslim army that had advanced in central France in the final he was defeated by the Franks. Still, only tempo secuwil century battle, the people of this Bedewi-imbued with the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, has established a empirium that extends from the border with India on the white sandy beach of the Atlantic Ocean, the empirium largest ever known in human history. And wherever the conquest by Muslim armies always followed by a buzz-in bondongnya Islamic followers.
Apparently, not all of the region, the conquest is permanent. Persian people, but still faithful follower of Islam, regained independence from Arab hands. And in Spain, after more than seven centuries of war, finally arrested by the Christians. Meanwhile, Mesopotamia and Egypt two birthplaces of ancient cultures, still in the hands of the Arabs, and on the north coast of Africa. Islam, of course, continue to spread from one century to another century, far from the conquered areas. Overall, millions of Muslims scattered in Africa, Central Asia, especially Pakistan and northern India and Indonesia. In Indonesia, the new Islamic religion is a unifying factor. In the Indian subcontinent, almost the opposite: the new religion was a major cause of the rupture.
It is the influence of the Prophet Muhammad, the most basic to the history of mankind? Like other religions, too, Islam had an enormous influence over his followers. Therefore, the distributor of spreader of the great religions of the world can be everywhere in this book. If measured by the number, the number of followers of Christianity twice the size of the followers of Islam itself the problem of what is the reason for the question mark of the prophet Muhammad to place higher than the prophet Jesus the list. There are two main reasons for that sustains me. First, Muhammad played a far greater role in the development of Islam that the role of Jesus, the prophet of Christianity. Even Prophet Isa responsible for the basic teachings of Christian morality and ethics (to some extent different from Judaism), St.. Paul is the leading broadcaster of Christian theology, the figure penyebarnya, and author of most of the Old Testament.
Instead Muhammad was not only responsible for the theology of Islam, but also points to the ethics and morals. Moreover, to "write" the Holy Koran, a collection of revelations to Muhammad that he believed came directly from God. Much of this revelation assiduously copied during Muhammad was alive and then collected in a manner not tergoyangkan shortly after his death. Al-Quran is closely related to the views of Muhammad and his teachings, because it relies on God's revelation. In contrast, none of which was collected in detail from the teachings of Jesus, which can still be found in the present. Since the Al-Quran for Muslims, to some extent as important as the gospel for Christians, the influence of Muhammad through the Quran teramatlah magnitude. Potential impact of Muhammad in Islam is greater than the influence of Jesus and St. Paul in the Christian world combined. Measured from the corner of the eye only religion, Muhammad Isa equivalent seems to influence in the history of mankind.
Beyond that (unlike Jesus) Muhammad is not only religious leaders but world leaders. The fact is that as the driving force behind the motion of the Arab conquests, the influence of political leadership is at the forefront at all times.
From various historical events, one might say that this could happen without the leadership of someone special who led them. For example, colonies in South America might be able to free themselves from Spanish colonialism, even if Simón Bolívar had never existed in the world. However, this example does not apply to the motion made conquests of the Arabs. There were similar incidents before Muhammad, and there was no reason to deny that the conquest might occur and succeed without Mohammed. The similarities only in terms of achievements in the history of mankind in the 13th century, partly due to the influence of Genghis Khan terpokok. This achievement, despite the broader scope than the Arab nations, which is not able to demonstrate the creation, and now the only areas occupied by the Mongols was the same area before the time of Genghis Khan
This clearly shows a big difference with the Conquest by the Arabs. Extending from Iraq to Morocco, the chain stretches a united Arab nation, not only because of the Islamic faith but also of the department of Arabic, history and culture. The central position of Al-Quran among Muslims and written in Arabic, is a likely reason for the Arabic language is not divided into dialects berantarakan. If not, you may already be happening in the L3 of the century. Arab differences and divisions in some countries that happen, of course, and indeed he did, but not necessarily partial division makes us neglect that his union is still tangible. However, both Iran and Indonesia are populous Muslim country, and both oil producers, are not joined in the attitude of the oil embargo in the winter of 1973 to 1974. Moreover these products is not a coincidence that all Arab countries, the only Arab country that have the oil embargo.by Michael H. Hart,One hundred most influential figures in the history .
