Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) worked tirelessly throughout his lifetime to elevate society, in the hopes of creating a more perfect and just world.
Islam teaches that the first Prophet was actually the first human, Prophet Adam (Peace Be Upon Him). Adam would be the father to all humanity, and God bestowed another blessing upon him: He would be the first of a long line of Prophets, or messengers of God. Their responsibility would be to teach humanity, to uplift them, to bring them the beautiful message of God. This would be done in the hopes of helping humanity fulfill its ultimate potential of true service to God, in helping one another, making the world a better place, and worshipping the Almighty.
The word “Prophet” is used to indicate that a person is a messenger of God, that he is God’s representative on Earth, and that the individual can be trusted in all matters, without any fear of corruption, malice, or ill-advisement. Historically, Prophets have lead or saved nations, redefined history, and been the moral compass by which philosophers have theorized.
Prophet Muhammad was the last in this ancient line of Prophets. His mission was clear: he was to bring the final message of God, to clear matters of confusion, to restore the truth about religion, and guide humanity back to its noble origin: worship of God.
