    Muhammad (pbuh) is extremely important to Muslims all around the world, and a sacred symbol for the Islamic religion. Pbuh stands for ‘peace be upon him’. This abbreviation is added along with his name all around the world as a sign of respect for him. Not only that, but Muslims do this to give peace upon him. Muhammad was not able to read or write so his was known as an ‘illiterate’ when he was born, and until he died. Because of this, when ‘Allah’ talked to him, he had to preach to other people and then they had to write them down. All of these saying were kept and treasured and then were finally added into books like the Qur’an and the Hadith. This essay will cover just exactly why Muhammad is so important to Muslims today.…

    Muslims believe that Muhammad is the Last Prophet and Allah’s Messenger as he brought the Qur’an (Muslim’s holy book) to the people. They also believe the Qur’an is made entirely of Allah’s word to them and that when he gave Muhammad the Qur’an’s word, Allah told him all the words which he committed to memory and had to scribes to write it down for him later as he could not read or write. This is why Muslims say that Muhammad could not have copied the Qur’an’s word from another holy book (such as The Bible or The Torah). When he was 25, Muhammad married Khadija, a wealthy widow who trusted him and put him in charge of her trading business.…

He trusts that she will see the benefits of such a marriage between them and for those reasons she will accept his generous offer. Her reaction however may not be taken the way he would like. Because this is said in such a businesslike tone and not lovingly, she may deny his proposal.…

    The Life of PI and The Prophet were both books that caught my attention because of two reasons. The first reason was because of the fact that both main characters were somehow traveling while learning what it is they are doing. The second reason is due to the fact that it has to do something with religion or spiritual learning and learning about what life is and what we are supposed to do with it. Why I choose these two reasons is due to the fact that me personally in the future i would like to travel and learn more about my religion and what it is that i should do with my life. Where PI actually is stuck in a boat with a bengal lion to learn what life is The Prophet Is actually traveling and learning bit by bit what life has to offer and what he can do with it.…
