Father of mankind, God created the earth and said, “be” and went. Of his own body, his rib, God created Eve and her husband stood in Paradise vedándoles eat the fruits of one of their trees. But the devil tempted and disobeyed the Lord. God expelled them from their home and placed them on earth. Later God forgave.
Adam and Eve lived in the land with their children formed the first family of Muslim believers. It tells the Qur’an:
“We determined that Adam dwell in paradise with his wife to enjoy it in moderation, but do not aproximéis that tree because you will be wicked! But Satan seduced them, preventing them from enjoying happiness. We said: Fall down from here! You will be enemies to each other on earth and you get it home and fleeting joy. Because God is Forgiver, Most Merciful “(2:35-37)
NOE (P.S.C.E.)
Turning the long period from Adam, and after many generations, the men went away from monotheism and God’s commandments. Were seduced by Satan to worship idols instead of God, and hoped grant them, and became corrupt and spread paganism and corruption prevailed.
God sent Nuh (Noah) to lead his people to the straight path. Nine hundred and fifty years remained Noah called his people to return to the One God, but frozen in their perfidy, and abused and ridiculed Noah mission. And he believed in his message, but a small group of people, God announced that there would be no more accessions and pray the Lord Noah salvation of believers and to the wicked. God heard their cries and sent the flood, survived him and the believers in the ark, and perishing idolaters, including his son and his mother Kan’an.
The Holy Quran contains repeated references to Noah in twenty-eight suras, for example:
“We sent Noah to his people remained among them nine hundred and fifty years and the flood caught them in the midst of wickedness” (29:14).
“And I said, ‘If you desist not, Noah, will be among those stoned.’ And he said: O my Lord, my people certainly belies; júzganos with equity, save me and the believers who are with me. And we saved , and those who filled the ark with him. And We drowned the others. Of course, in this there is a sign, but most do not believe. (26:116-121).
ABRAHAM
He was born Abraham (Ibrahim) in a civilized people who worshiped idols [1]. God sent him to disclose the “Tawhid, or Unity of God, and the abandonment of idolatry.
Abraham began with his father, saying:
“Oh, Father! He received part of the knowledge that you did not receive. Follow me, and I will lead the right path my Father! Do not worship Satan because it was rebellious to God Most Merciful Oh Father! Indeed, I fear that you will hit a merciful punishment, and be similar to Satan! “(19:43-45).
After that, Abraham stretched out his mission, destroying the figures of the idols out of love and devotion to one God. His people sentenced run on fire unless he recanted, but Abraham chose the Holocaust and obedience. But the fire that would embrace Abraham was cool and peaceful for him by the grace of God.
“Then (Abraham) said, perhaps, worship, instead of God, the beneficiaries and can not harm you in anything? Leave aside when you worship none other than God, Do not understand? “(21:66-67).
In his old age, Abraham had a son, Ismael, his wife Hagar and God ordered him confined, leaving them in the vicinity of Mecca. Abraham fulfilled the divine command without hesitation.
Mother and son were stranded in the desert, but his feet came a spring, later called Zamzam, which allowed them to survive, and it was determined that the tribe of Jurhum camped around the spring water and then founded the city of Mecca.
Ishmael grew up among the Arabs of the tribe of Jurhum, and puberty was further opinion divine: God commanded Abraham sacrificed Ishmael. Without hesitation, Abraham prepared to obey the divine command.
God speaks in the Quran the only force of the faith of Abraham:
“Oh, son!” In truth I playing that I offered in sacrifice, What do you think? He said: O my father! “Do what you ordered. I find, God willing, among the steadfast. And when both accepted the divine appoint Abraham prepared his son for sacrifice, so we call it: Oh I have obeyed Abraham. by the way so we reward those who open directly, certainly this was a real test. And replace your child another sacrifice. And we did come in later “(37:102-106).
It is noteworthy that Ishmael is the ancestor of a branch of the Arabs which traces the genealogy of the Prophet Muhammad, and there is no evidence that the sacrificed was Isaac, second son of Abraham and his wife Sara.
When God decided to build his chosen home, in Makkah, Abraham instructed to build it, indicating the place, and this, with his son Ishmael built the enclosure, the remains of this construction to our days in the Ka’bah.
Regarding the disposition and psychological attitude of Abraham and Ishmael to build the “House of God” are described by the Qur’an:
“And when Abraham and Ishmael raised the foundations of the house shouted:” O our Lord! Accept it from us, for You are Exor, wise, O our Lord! Do the two of us and delivered to you arising out of our offspring, a nation devoted to you too, and show us our rites and absuélvenos, because you are Forgiver, Merciful. “(2:127-129)
After the construction, God revealed to Abraham to convene the pilgrimage to this House to His glorification:
“And proclaim the pilgrimage to the people and come to you from all remote area, on foot, horseback and on lean camels. To attest to its benefits and to celebrate the name of God in the days well-known “(22:27 – 28).
Thus, the pilgrimage is a duty since it was built the Ka’ba, to date, and is one of the pillars of Islam.
God revealed to Abraham scriptures containing the call to the oneness of God, and a code of life.
MOSES
God sent Moses (Musa) to Israel (Bani Isra’il) after many centuries, after the death of Abraham, a book called Tora (Taurat), containing the teachings and God’s law. Moses was ordered severely combat paganism, pride and selfishness. God promised the people of Israel, if you believed Moses and his followers, saved from the tyranny of Pharaoh which proclaimed “God of Egypt.” Divine miracles through Moses were numerous, for example, that of his staff that turned into a snake, when God delivered the Israelites from Pharaoh and his army drowning, and felt safe, returned to paganism and perfidy . We know several episodes of the Israelites with Moses, which range between faith and paganism undecided believers pray, pray skeptics, and because of that, God addressing the people of Moses says in the Qur’an:
“Remember when you got rid of the dynasty of Pharaoh that you inflicted a cruel treatment, slaughtered your sons and left her with your women. In them you had a test of your Lord. And when I brought you liberated through the open waters of the sea, immersed in them the hosts of Pharaoh before your visit. And when we established the covenant with Moses forty nights, and with you, and that in his absence, I love the calf and condemns you. And when we say. Oh Moses not believe in thee till we see God specifically, and the lightning glared when I mirabais. Then We raised you so that perhaps we ensalcéis. Despite that your hearts were hardened, they are like rocks and even harder. ” (2:49-56).
Allow me to quote another verse of the Quran:
“They said, ‘our hearts are numb.” God cursed them for their unbelief. How little they believe “(2:88).
J esus, SON OF MARY, PEACE BE ON BOTH
When the woman of ‘Imran, Holy Hannah, reached advanced age wanted a child. Feeling that was pregnant, raised the praise of God and promised that the child will be consecrated to serve in Bait al Maqdis, the temple of Jerusalem, whether it was male. But at birth he saw it was female and named it Mariam (Mary). The girl was growing under the care of his mother in an atmosphere of purity and devotion to God.
On arrival the girl at the age of discernment, the mother turned the vote and carried to the temple. Addressing the religious, he said, I give you this promise. The priests were very happy with Mary, he was fatherless, “Imran, who had been the greatest.
Due to the great zeal and willingness of all to be careful and gentle with the baby, decided to choose a mentor from among them. The appointee was the prophet Zachariah, married to an aunt of Mariam, East had built a special room for it in the mosque to worship God there. Whenever Zachariah visited her, was fruit that were not missed the station and asked where they came from, and she said, “the futre come from God, who graces without measure to whom He pleases.”
The Holy Quran relates this fact:
“Remember when the wife of ‘Imran said: Oh, sir! By the way I’ve set, in full, the fruit of my loins, acéptamelo because you Exor, Wise. And when she conceived, said: My Lord! He designed a woman. God knew what he had conceived, and that the man is not the same as women. Behold, I have named her Mary, and protection in You, her and her offspring, from the accursed Satan. His master took it complacent and carefully educated, and Zachary confided. Whenever Zachariah visited her in oratorio, the food was provided, and said: O Mary Where have you come this? And she said: God! For God graces, without measure to whom He wills “(3:35-37)
Divine graces of the Virgin Mary were in a spiritual and a sample ahead of the miracle that would happen in it.
Mary was a virgin and felt that she was pregnant, and conceived to Isa (Jesus). When Mariam was seen with the infant, the case seemed serious and full of questions directed at her accusation. The murmuring grew and formed a mob to the Virgin, who directed, pleading, his gaze toward the heavens, asking God to prove his innocence, and God did speak to the baby, Jesus (Isa), defending the innocence of his mother . We cite the Quranic story:
“He returned to his people and leading them in his arms and said, O Mary! Here you’ve done something unheard Oh sister of Aaron, your father never was an adulterer, nor thy mother a prostitute! Then they interrogated the boy said, and told him: how to talk with a child who is still in the cradle? And he said: “Certainly I am the servant of God, grant me the book and I appointed prophet, I will benefactor wherever you are and entrusted me prayer and almsgiving, while alive, and I will be kind to my mother and never allow it to be arrogant nor rebellious, peace was with me the day I was born, be with me the day I die, and the day I shall be raised. This is Jesus, son of Mary, is the truth of that doubt. It is unacceptable to have a child that God is glorified! When you choose one thing, you just say it, and it is. And (we order that says) that God is my Lord and your worship him, then! This is the true path “(19:27-36).
Jesus grew up under the care of His Holy Mother and was the revelation that he was a prophet and God gave the gospel. And preached oneness of God in Beit Lahm, and Nasrat Al Quds (Bethlehem, Jerusalem and Nazareth.) Some believed in it but most Israelis are not accepted and not accepted even today.
God gave to Jesus and other prophets, miracles that supported the veracity of his preaching. And healing the seriously ill, lepers and the lame, the power that emanated from God, and raise the dead, called down from heaven a table set for himself and his disciples, to convince skeptics. But despite these miracles did not believe in him. Some deify by birth without a father and forget the birth of Adam, without mother or father, God created only saying: “Be”, and went. And the creation of Eve, who was born without a mother.
It tells you this in the holy Quran:
“Certainly the case of Jesus before God is identical to that of Adam, whom He created from dust, then said,” Be “and it was.” (3:59).
Therefore, the Islamic doctrine states that Jesus, his miracles, asceticism unparalleled and elevation, is one Supreme God’s creatures, a human being subject to all human needs, ate, walked the streets and slept. For the divine nature is impossible except for God and the divine status is immaterial. Therefore, in Islam, the prophet than not surpasses any man in his humanity.
Accepting Isa – Jesus – is an important part of faith because it is one of the prophets, divine envoys. Faith in it is indispensable. Whoever does not accept it as a messenger of God can not accept Muhammad, and who truly believes he can not stop believing in Muhammad.
Allah says:
“Say:” I am only a mortal like yourselves who has been revealed that your God is one Lord “(18:110).
And Jesus said that Muhammad would come after him:
“And when Jesus son of Mary, said:” Oh, Israelis certainly am the apostle of God sent to you, corroborándoos how much of the Bible and albriciante preceded me, of an apostle who shall come after me, whose name is Ahmad “. (61:6).
Say: Allah is unique, God is eternal, never begot, nor was begotten and is unmatched. ” (Sura 111 Al Ikhlas)
In Islam, it is recalled repeatedly to Jesus and his holy mother. Found in the Holy Qur’an a chapter exclusively devoted to Mary, and which bears his name which tells the birth of Jesus. Also found that the third sura of the holy book is named “Family of ‘Imran” who was the father of the Virgin Mary. The fifth sura is called the table set “, which recounts the fall dinner of the heavens to Isa and his companions. God in the Quran named twenty-five times to Jesus and Maria thirty-four.
The Muslim faith in Jesus is the same as he had the disciples. The ancient gospels were estimated over two hundred and seventy, including Barnabas, which is located a few copies in major European museums, several of these Gospels state that Jesus is not God, nor his son divine nature.
“Oh, fans of the book! Do not overstep your religion and say not of God but the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was sent from God and his word with which He bestowed on Mary through His spirit. So believe in Allah and His messenger, and do not say “trinity.” Abstain from that, the better for you, know that God is one and Glory be rid of the hypothesis of having a child! To Him belongs whatever is in heaven and on earth, and is more than enough custodian. The Messiah would never claim to be but a servant of Allah, and never said the Angels. But those who disdain their worship and ensoberbezcan, the they will appear at all before it. “(4:171-172).
As to the meaning of the term, the spirit of Allah, it means that when her mother was conceived in the divine word “KUN” (SEA) was infused with the word human spirit by direct intervention.
Roman and Israeli authorities who ruled Jerusalem Jesus saw a danger that threatened his despotism and idolatry. Ordered to be crucified, but Jesus was saved and ascended into heaven by the grace of God, and maybe another was crucified in his place so that it seemed to have killed his executioners.
There are many hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad that confirm the veracity of the return of Jesus Christ to earth in recent times, to preach the Tawhid and administer justice. He said, for example, the prophet, as Nawas ibn Sum’ân story: “When God sent Jesus, son of Mary, this fall near a white minaret in the east of Damascus, with two yellow layers, supported his hands on wings of two Angels. “(Hadith quoted by Muslim). He said:” I am the closest to Jesus son of Mary, because there was no prophet between me and him. The fall and you will recognize him: a man of stature media, and smile. “(Hadith quoted by Ahmad in his” Musnad “).
SON OF ABDULLAH MUHAMMAD, PEACE BE WITH
The government of the city of Mecca came to one of its most noble lords, Quriaish clan called ‘Abdul Muttalib ibn Hashim ibn’ Abdi Manaf, who served efficiently. He promised that if God gave him ten sons to sacrifice one in the Ka’bah as an offering to him his children having reached the desired number, did a lot to choose between them on the victim. The appointee turned out to be ‘Abdullah, his favorite son. This was submitted, but when Abdul Muttalib wanted to run the sacrifice, the people of Mecca prevented and suggested the redemption money. It was a vote for this purpose and it was decided to sacrifice a hundred camels were sacrificed in the Ka’ba.
When was’ Abdullah to come of age, married with one of the noble ladies of Quraish, and known for its modesty: Aminah bint Wahb, whose marriage was born Muhammad, the messenger of Allah. His father, meanwhile, died shortly before his birth.
Muhammad was born on 20 April 571 AD, the year known as “elephant.” His mother placed him in a Bedouin desert, Halima Al Sa’diah to breastfeed. This was in Muhammad’s full blessing for its serenity and nobility, although they were still a kid. During the period remained in the care of Halima Muhammad, the house of the known abundance.
When the child turned six, died Amina, his mother and his guardian was his grandfather ‘Abdul Muttalib died, in turn, two years later. Guardianship then turned to Muhammad’s paternal uncle, Abu Talib, who immediately discovered the child something unusual and impressive, and determined to deal with it rather than their own children.
A twelve-year-old Muhammad is led by Abu Talib to Damascus in a business trip. Upon reaching the town of Busra, were meeting with Jorge Buhaira, Christian priest of the local church, who seizing the hand of Muhammad said: “This is the master of the world to be sent by God for the salvation of mankind, find it Counselor characteristics described in our book, the Gospel. ” And to Abu Talib said, “Take care and protect it from the Jews.” And Abu Talib returned from there, going to Mecca to be more clinging left by Muhammad.
At twenty-five, he married Khadijah bint Muhmmad Jwailid, widow of forty, belonging to the nobility.
This couple had four daughters: Zainab, who was married to Abul ‘As, Umm Kultum, Ruqaia, who married Othman ibn’ Affan, and the fourth, Fatima married Ali ibn Abi Talib. Also two sons were born, or four, as claimed by others. Their names are Qasim, Abdullah, Taleb and Tahir. From his union with Mary, the Coptic, long after the death of Khadijah Ibrahim was born. All male children died at an early age. The daughters died also before Muhammad, except Fatima, who survived him.
At the time of the birth of Muhammad (PSCE), Mecca was a center of idolatry and corruption. In parallel to belief in God and reverence to the Ka’ba, the people of Mecca to worship idols and offered sacrifices. A compounded the abomination of moral corruption and social decay. Because of that, Muhammad, from the earliest age, as far as possible away from that medium, days and even weeks in each year, and abandoning his home was collected in a cave called Hira.
Where was forty years was in the cave in retreat and suddenly there appeared an angel from heaven, who said:
“Read in the name of your Lord who created all things” (96:1)
Atemorizose Muhammad and returned home trembling. There he said to Khadija: “cover me with a blanket. Later the Angel Gabriel, the word of God
“Oh, you wrapped in a blanket! Get up and admonished! , And glorify your Lord, and purify your clothing, and stay away from the abomination. ” (74:15)
The Prophet then began to preach Islam to their friends and the people of Mecca. But they belied and harassed, when before it was called “The Truthful” and “The Faithful” and called the verdict in cases of difficult solution. Began to chase his few followers, Muhammad then made them take refuge in Ethiopia, five years into his preaching. The prophet was protected at all times by his uncle Abu Talib, though this did not believe in their mission. But Abu Talib died and then his beloved wife Khadija. The idolaters thought that these two deaths were the opportunity to finish with Muhammad and Muslims.
But the believers sent Muhammad to Medina commending himself to God and staying until the end in Mecca. In the thirteenth year of Revelation God ordered his envoy also emigrate quietly with his companion Abu Bakr, reaching both the city of Medina where the Prophet established the first Islamic state [2].
In the eighth year of the Hijra, or emigration, to Medina, God allows Muhammad’s conquest of Mecca, and purified from paganism, returning to the city’s purity and holiness of the place consecrated to the One God.
In the year 10 AH, the Prophet in the company of his disciples, undertook Hajj “pilgrimage of farewell” at the climax in the “Mount of Mercy” of Arafat was revealed the verse that denoted the end of revelation of the Qur’an:
“Today I have perfected your religion, I have graced widely and I have chosen Islam as religion.” (5:3).
Two and half months later, killed the Prophet in Medina, the bright, after having completed the Message of Islam and Muslim led the nation with love and wisdom.
The message of Muhammad is the perfect doctrine while a complete code, ie it is a whole unit, with the testimony of Allah, which places it above any reformulation, as a possible reformulation would attribute its author’s unique , Allah. At about the Prophet Muhammad spoke when he said:
“Those who add to our subject (Islam) something that is not itself the same (ie: those who innovate in the basics of Islam) will be rejected.”
“Every invention (doctrine) is innovation and innovation (in the teachings of Islam) is lost and all loss, leads to eternal fire”
Therefore, it was not the message of Muhammad himself a man or a people but a universal message for all peoples, and for being timeless and eternal, revelation ceased with the demise of the prophet.
And so God ended the cycle of heavenly revelations of the prophets with the sending of Muhammad, Messenger of Allah, as the Holy Quran says:
“Indeed Muhammad is not the father of any of you, but the Messenger of Allah and the seal of the prophets” (33:40).
“O Prophet! indeed We have sent you as a witness, monitor and reward, and convener of humans before God, with His approval and as a shining light. And glad tidings to the believers who get infinite goodness of God. ” (33:45-47)
Muhammad lived a wonderful life and heroic, full of wonders included only through the dedication and devotion to one God.
All the prophets received from God the gift of miracles, Muhammad received the gift too, but its peak was miraculous revelation of the Quran, as unchanging in content and form is universally recognized [3].
Lord accept from us this work, and we grieve the day I appear before you. Amendment Lord, our souls, so that only seek refuge in You. And bless Your sent Muhammad, the most beloved creatures, and his family and disciples – Amen.
