Muhammad (s) was a man and a
messenger of Allah (The One God). He is the
last of the prophets sent by Allah to guide man to the right path; Adam was the first Prophet. The
Qur’an mentions twenty-five Prophets by name and provides a great insight of their
mission, struggle and their communities. The Qur’an exonerates prophets from charges leveled against them in previous
Scriptures. The Qur’an also mentions four previously
revealed Scriptures: Suhoof (Pages) of Ibrahim (Abraham), Taurat (''Torah'') as revealed to
Prophet Moses, Zuboor (''Psalms'') as revealed to Prophet David, and Injeel (''Evangel'') as revealed to Prophet Jesus (pbuh). Islam requires belief in all prophets and revealed scriptures (original, non-corrupted) as part of the Articles of Faith. Muhammad (s) is greatly respected as the model of Qur’anic behavior. Muslims mention his name by adding "peace be upon him," a phrase used with the name of all prophets. All sincere Muslims try to follow the Qur’an and the Prophet’s example to minute details. The account of every aspect of his life has been preserved (numerous daily accounts including his family life). Prophet Muhammad (s) has served as an example for all Muslims in all periods to modern times. He will remain a model example for all of humanity.
At the end of his mission, the Prophet was blessed with several hundred thousand followers (men and women) of Islam. Thousands prayed with him at the mosque and listened to his sermon. Hundreds of sincere Muslims would find every opportunity to be with him following five daily prayers and at other times. They used to seek his advice for their everyday problems, and listened attentively to the interpretation and application of revealed verses to their situation. They followed the message of the Qur’an and the Messenger of Allah with utmost sincerity, and supported him with every thing they had. The most excellent among them are Abu Bakr, ''Umar, ''Uthman, Ali, Talha, Zubair, ''Abdur Rahman ibn Auf, S''ad bin Abi Waqqas, S''ad bin Zaid, Abu ''Ubeidah, Hasan, Hussain, and several dozen others. They faithfully carried the message of Islam after the Prophet, and within ninety years the light of Islam reached Spain, North Africa, the Caucasus, northwest China and India.
