Prophet Muhammad SAW, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, is the man beloved by more than 1.2 billion Muslims.  He is the man who taught us patience in the face of adversity, and taught us to live in this world but seek eternal life in the hereafter.  It was to Prophet Muhammad SAW that Allah SWT (God) revealed The Noble Quran from The 7th Sky Heaven.


Along with this Book of guidance Allah SWT (God) sent Prophet Muhammad SAW, whose behavior and high moral standards are an example to us all.  Prophet Muhammad SAW life was The Noble Quran.  He understood it, he loved it and he lived his life based on its standards.  He taught us to recite the Quran, to live by its principles and to love it.  When Muslims declare their faith in One God, they also declare their belief that Muhammad is the slave and final messenger of God.


Muslims also believe in the same Prophets mentioned in Jewish and Christian traditions, including Prophet Noah AS, Prophet Moses AS , Prophet Abraham AS and Prophet Jesus AS, and they believe that all prophets came with the same message – to worship God alone, without partners, sons or daughters.  There is a difference, however, between all other prophets and Prophet Muhammad SAW.  Before Muhammad, prophets were sent to particular people in particular places and periods.  Muhammad however, is the final Prophet and his message is for all of humankind.


Allah SWT (God) tells us in The Noble Quran that He did not send Prophet Muhammad SAW except as a mercy for humankind. 


 "And we have sent you O Muhammad, not but as a mercy for humankind and all that exists."  (The Noble Quran 21.107)  


God did not say Muhammad  was sent to the people of Arabia, or to men, or to the people of the 7th century.  He made it clear that Prophet Muhammad SAW was a prophet like no other, one whose message would spread far and wide and be applicable in all places for all times.  Muslims love him, respect him and follow him.


Prophet Muhammad SAW taught us to love Allah SWT (God) and to obey Him.  He taught us to be kind to each other, to respect our elders, and care for our children.  He taught us that it was better to give than to receive and that each human life is worthy of respect and dignity.  He taught us to love for our brothers and sisters what we love for ourselves.  Prophet Muhammad SAW taught us that families and communities are essential, and he pointed out that individual rights although important are not more important than a stable, moral society.  Prophet Muhammad SAW taught us that men and women are equal in the sight of God and that no one person is better then another except in respect to his or her piety and devotion to Allah SWT (God).


Who is Prophet Muhammad SAW?  Quite simply he is the man who will stand before God on the day of Requital and beg God to have mercy on us.  He will intercede for us. Muslims love him because he is the slave and messenger of God, he is a mercy to humankind and his gentleness, and devotion to humanity is unprecedented.
