Preface
Just like one should not & cannot learn Christianity, Judaism or Buddhism via Dogmatic Fanaticism, or thru Bigotry & Powerful Agendas of the Phobes, the very same thing is also true with the Prophet of Islam. There really is one sensible method to get to know him and what he stands for and that is, to study him at the source.
With this page, we’ve tried to shed some lights on the Life of Prophet Muhammad with you, from the earliest sources, and with the great minds of renowned intellectuals, historians & philosophers, from all walks of lives, from Rumi to Lamartine, from Gandhi to M. Ali whose memories & love we still cherish today. What is it that strike the hearts & minds on Prophet Muhammad? To answer this, please dive into our easy to follow Prophet Muhammad page, which is full of edutaining, at times emotional but always inspirational glimpses of memoirs from his life, which we strongly believe may dispel the weak webs bigots try to weave, for you.
To use this page, we suggest, to begin with how the Prophet has begun, the very first word of the Quranic revelation, IQRA, which means Read!
Then close your eyes, and let Cat Stevens ( AKA Yusuf Islam ) with his charming voice take you thru the Life of the Prophet with an hour-long audio narration. You may also click on the timeline and jump to specific parts of his life directly.
To explore more of the Prophet, use the table of contents and navigate thru this immersive page, which we try to enhance often.
If you have any questions or feedback, please use the feedback form at the end of this page.
May God’s peace and blessings be on you!

In Closing
Thank you very much for visiting the Prophet Muhammad page. In this we hope, we were able to …
Not everyone is expected to be a believer in his message. His Loving uncle, Abu-talib is a great example of how one can be a non-Muslim while also being an amazing supporter of him & his message. There is no compulsion in religion. And guidance is only from God. As the Qur’an beautifully says:
O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female
and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another.Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you.
Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted. (49:13)
