Default The Man Chosen by the Creator to be the Last Prophet and the Messenger to Mankind
The Man Chosen by the Creator to be the Last Prophet and the Messenger to Mankind

‘The last message and revelation to mankind by the Almighty Creator “Allah”’

Important note; you owe yourself and your soul to read the followings and to investigate the truth and authenticity of this knowledge. This is for your happiness in this life and hereafter. We care for you and want you happiness.

Why is this man?
Who is this man?
Why do we need to know this man?



In the history of mankind, every time a nation, a group of people, a family, or a tribe succeeded and developed civilization or status in the society, you find two important facts behind their success. 1. A leader with quality, manner, character, and 2.a set of rules or behavior which we can call a constitution for these people. By this way we agree as a human being we are not all leaders. Some of us are followers, actually majority is followers and minority is the leader. A human being is lost without a good leader. Also in history behind any major crisis in any nation you find a bad leader. By this way we can agree as a human being we are in need of a leader, a teacher, a role model, or someone to lead us and show us the way and to care for us, and he has to have the best character and conduct, and he has to do all of that not for a power, a fame, status, money or glory. He has to be chosen by his people for the people. Sometime in history he could be appointed by a king or a group of people or knowledgeable people or people with status. And sometimes they choose the right one but sometimes they are wrong, meaning he might be the good one and he might not. When we are young, our parents take the role model as a leader; again they can be good or bad. School teachers in our life can also affect us in good way or bad way since they are our role models. After we grow up we need a companion or a friend or somebody elder than us to help us with knowledge and experiences about our future. According to their quality and knowledge, they leave us a big impact positive or negative which can affect our future. In this way all of us always need a leader. Even in a jungle, a strong tribe has a chief. If you go to a small village, its success lies on the quality of the leader or old farmer with wisdom. And the quality of their crops also depends on the expertise of these leaders. A skillful fisherman comes with knowledge learned from previous old fisherman or captain of the boat. If I want to have a strong body, I must follow my trainer, my doctor or nutritionist. So as you see we are always desperate for a good leader or a teacher as our role model.
Now let’s examine who should be the best one for us. Someone appointed by someone, or someone appointed by the Almighty Creator? Now let me share with you another piece of history of mankind.

From the beginning of history of mankind, from the beginning of the creation, the Creator created human beings with qualities good and bad, strength and weakness, and He put us on earth for trial to see how much we struggle to clean up our bad quality and strengthen and use our good quality. Because He is the One who made us, He knows exactly how we must deal with each other, with our society, with the environment, and most of all, with Him, the Almighty. He knows we need a map, a set of constitution to achieve happiness in this life and the other, to live and fulfill His purpose of our life. So this map and a set of constitution must come from Him. We call it “revelation”, meaning it is revealed to us by Him. Before He sent revelation, He chose one among His creation and gave him the best quality, wisdom, strength, power and means. Now we have received a complete package of “the chosen one” and “guidance” from our Creator.
(All of us have been chosen to be created as human being by the Creator, and all of us have been given a chance by Him to seek guidance by seeing and watching His creation like the sky, the ocean, mountains, forests, animals and plants, different weather, even natural disaster, and ourselves. These are all a message to tell us, “Here I am. Come to Me. You need My guidance.”)

In the past the Almighty Creator sent to mankind messengers, prophets, books and revelations over and over again to guide them to Him. Some people accepted the message humbly and followed the messengers or prophets. Others rejected it, and some among them even fought and killed the messengers and prophets for their own power, glory, fame, fortune, arrogance, and blindness. There were also some people who played game with the message and they started adding to or subtracting from the message, causing the message to be corrupted. Some also used the message for their own worldly benefit. But after any corruption, the Almighty Creator, the King and Owner of the Universe, always sent us from His justice another revelation with another messenger so that mankind had no excuse for not knowing the truth.
(Reminder; All the books and revelations contain only one single message which is the Oneness of the Creator and to remind us of hereafter and our duty and responsibility in any given time. By this way be sure there is no difference between one messages to another.)
Now we have some understanding about the history of revelation, how and why His message came down to us.



Human beings come with different colors; white, black, yellow, red, and mixed. We have to remind ourselves that we have no control over who we are or how we look and even what is going on in our life, because we were created and chosen as a human being by the Creator. We strive for our life with the means He gives us but still He controls our destiny.
Messengers and prophets were also human beings like us, but they were chosen and appointed to carry the message of the Creator. Their job was to live as a role model to their people and to convey His message and to advice and teach them to be guided. They all lived and died but each of them were unique. Some of them were chosen for village, some for tribe, some for a nation, and some for a certain place for a period of time. Everything is done according to the will of the Almighty Creator. According to some authentic report, there were approximately 124,324 messengers and prophets sent to mankind. The Creator has shared with us the story of 19 among this number, telling us about those who accepted the message and those who rejected it and what happened to them. Among these 19, He emphasized the story of 5. And among these 5, He chose the final one called Muhammad Ibn Abdullah. May peace and blessing of Allah be upon him and all the messengers and prophets (like Jesus, Moses, Noah, and Abraham).
Muhammad (peace be upon him) has been chosen by the Almighty Creator to be the messenger and prophet to mankind and to be the seal of all the prophecy.
(It means that according to the authentic knowledge and revelation, he is the last messenger and prophet to mankind and no messenger and prophet will come after him.)

Important note; If anyone claims he is a messenger or a prophet chosen by the Creator, he must have some kind of extraordinary character to show his people he is the appointed one. For example, Jesus (peace be upon him) could heal lepers just by touching. He also called the dead in the grave to get up and he became alive again. He walked on water. Moses split the sea just by touching with his stick, and the water became like two big mountains between which there was a dry road to walk on. King Solomon could understand the words of animals and birds and talk to them. He could also use clouds for transporting him and his kingdom. The Almighty gave him a kingdom nobody in history had. By this way a messenger or a prophet has to have a sign given by the Creator to prove he is the chosen one. So you can check more about this man whom we are introducing to you today as the last messenger and prophet to mankind.

<Muhammad (peace be upon him)>
Muhammad (peace be upon him), the messenger of Allah was sent as a role model, a teacher, and mercy to mankind to guide them from darkness to light.

{Verily, there has come unto you a Messenger (Muhammad, peace be upon him) from amongst yourselves (i.e. whom you know well).} (v.9:128, al Qur’an)

He was born and raised in Arabic peninsula in a time of ignorance and mischief, and there were different tribes living in a desert or oasis or valley without any constitution. And the Almighty Creator chose one man among these people and gave him the extraordinary high standard manners and characters.
(You can read all the details about this man in the book “Shifa” by Al Qaadi Ayyaat.)
He was known for his honesty, sincerity, wisdom, and humbleness. But above all the quality had, he was illiterate, which is considered a miracle. He never received any academic education. At the age of 40, he received the first revelation by Angel Gabriel when he was meditating in a small cave, searching for guidance.

{Read, in the name of your Lord, the One who created you.}(v.96:1, al Qur’an)

(You can watch the documentary movie “the Message” in Google video, or inquire books or literature from any nearby Islamic center.)
He came with one message. “Oh mankind, say we believe in the Only One, the Almighty Creator, and in His messenger to seek success and salvation.” With his high standard quality, he set the role model of good conduct and how to follow the constitution, the message of the Creator, “Al Qur’an”. He called people for the guidance, light and wisdom of their own Lord. He advised them to stop bloodshed. He explained them how to respect and dignify life and soul of every human being regardless of race, color, status, or gender. (And this is a story of 7th century!!) He advised them to live humbly and not to strive for material status, the rich to share their wealth with the poor and the needy, the poor and the needy to be patient. He said we must take care of our neighbors, and respect women and give them honor and dignity for taking care of children. Men have duty to provide women with all their need and necessity, and to protect them and not to abuse them, to treat them nicely, and to be patient with them. And if you don’t like her, leave her with peace. Don’t take back what you gave her, which is called “dawry”, a gift or money she wanted at the time of marriage. Men and women are equal in front of the Creator who gave them different duties. The true status is our piety and relation between us and the Creator. We have to pay attention to our cleanliness and smell. We should care about feelings of others and respect and not to abuse all the creation including animals, plants, and environment because everything is a trust in our hands. We should not lie, cheat, or betray each other as a father, a mother, a child, a follower, or a leader. No gambling, no drinking alcohol, no oppression meaning taking advantage from the poor. Protect others from your hands and tongue. Live this life like a traveler because soon you will leave. Our life is short and all of us are accountable for our action, and one day we will meet our Lord. Whoever did good to himself and others will be treated with mercy and rewarded with Paradise for infinity. Whoever broke the constitution, the covenant (oath) between him and his Lord, or hurt someone even with tongue, will be punished. The best one among you and the closest one to Allah is the one who die and leave legacy of goodness, generosity, kindness, and above all, good manners. Muhammad (peace be upon him) shared with his people the very humble style of life. He refused to be treated like a prince. He hardly accumulated anything. He lived in a simple room with some leaves and animal skins on the floor. Sometimes he used to hold a piece of rock tied around his stomach to calm his hunger. He fought against corruption, aggression, and oppression. He fought for the sake of spreading the message and elevating the truth. He always told his companions not to attack women, children and elders, and not to burn houses and trees, and not even to cut trees or leaves, and to try the best to seek peace first. One of the names of the Creator is “the Owner of Peace”. He wants you to live in peace, to spread peace, to die in peace, to meet your Lord in peace, and to achieve the ultimate peace in the land of peace, Paradise. He warned them of the severe torture and punishment in their grave and Hellfire. He was the best father, husband, neighbor, friend, leader, and creation. Allah gave him beauty, humbleness, power, strength, justice, kindness, patience, generosity, and forgiveness. He said to his companions and all the believers; you will not taste the sweetness of belief unless you forgive those who hurt you and you deal with them kindly and mercifully, and unless you join those who deny you and get away from you. He left a legacy and a life style which has enrichment to our body and soul. He advised people not to fill up their stomach but to eat a little and not to sleep after eating, and not to mix too many kinds of food in one time. He left an encyclopedia, a complete guideline to live healthy and happily, physically and spiritually, in this life and hereafter. He said; whoever wants happiness in this life and hereafter, follow me. The Creator will guide you and shower you with His mercy. He will give you chance after chance because He is the most Generous, the most Patient, and the most Compassionate. Whoever strives for Him, He will give him guidance.

{O mankind! There has come to you a good advice from your Lord (i.e. The Qur’an, enjoining all that is good and forbidding all that is evil), and a healing for that (disease of ignorance, doubt, hypocrisy and differences) which is in your breasts,---a guidance and a mercy (explaining lawful and unlawful things) for the believers.} (v.10:57, al Qur’an)

{Say: ‘In the Bounty of Allah, and in His Mercy (i.e.Islam and the Qur’an);---therein let them rejoice.’ That is better than what (the wealth) they amass.} (v.10:58, al Qur’an)


This is a glimpse, a few words about this man, our prophet, your prophet, the last messenger and prophet to mankind, from your Lord, the Almighty Creator. I hope you agree with me that we are in need of the most sincere knowledge and leader to follow. Who do you think has better knowledge than the One who created us? Who is the best human being to follow except the one He chose for our leader? This is your chance for salvation and guidance to the Almighty Creator, Allah.

Most of people have bad images of Islam because of some wrong behavior done by Muslims under the name of this religion. But please try to focus on the original message sent to us by our Lord.
May He guide us and use us to spread guidance, mercy and light to all mankind. Ameen.
