Professor John Esposito pointed out in his book, Islam: The Straight Path that: “Muhammad was among those great religious figures, prophets and founders of religions, whose remarkable character and personality inspired uncommon confidence and commitment. His phenomenal success in attracting followers and creating a community-state that dominated Arabia could be attributed not only to the fact that he was a shrewd military strategist but also to the fact that he was an unusual man… Muhammad’s followers found him righteous, trustworthy, pious, honest and compassionate.”
He invited people to worship none but the One True God (Allah), the Creator. #Muhammad
Prophet Muhammad said: “He who eats his fill while his neighbor goes to bed without food is not a believer.”
The testimony to be said in Arabic when embracing Islam is: “ASH-HADU ALLA ILAHA ILLA-ALLAH WA ASH-HADU ANNA MUHAMMADAN RASULU-ALLAH.”
Islam tells us the ultimate truth about the one true God and His unique names &qualities.
Prophet Muhammad said: “God does not judge you according to your bodies and appearances but he scans your hearts and looks into your deeds.”
Prophet Muhammad said: "The Compassionate One [God] has mercy on those who are merciful. If you show mercy to those who are on the earth, He Who is in heaven will show mercy to you."
