6. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, was born around 570 CE.
At the age of 40, Muhammad received his call to become a prophet. He received the word of God through the Angel Gabriel and the divine message was recorded in the Holy Qur'an.
Quran (3:144)
Muhammad (PBUH) is no more than a Messenger and indeed (many) Messengers have passed away before him. If he dies or is killed, will you then turn back on your heels (as disbelievers)? And he who turns back on his heels, not the least harm will he do to Allah; and Allah will give reward to those who are grateful.
(34:28)
And we have not sent you (O Muhammad (PBUH)) except as a giver of glad tidings and a warner to all mankind, but most of men know not.
Islam and Prophet teachings doesn’t believe in Castes, color discrimination, poor or rich all are equal. In group prayers all stand shoulder to shoulder and bow only to one GOD our creator alone.
