HAZRAT MUHAMMAD(Peace be upon him)
THE PROPHET OF ISLAM

---

Before the advent of Islam, Arabia was inhabited by warring tribes, whose inter-tribal feuds lasted for generations, and at times culminated in bloody conflicts in which hundreds of precious lives were lost. Idolatry was prevalent among the Arabs and the sacred house of God built by Prophet Abraham, housed hundreds of deities of demigods which were worshipped by the Arabs. They suffered from false sense of prestige and killed their female issues remorse-lessly. The Arabian society had degenerated to its lowest depths-feudalism was at its zenith and the poor were ruthlessly oppressed and exploited. Justice was denied to the weak and the maxim "might is right'' was at no other time more applicable.

It such a gloomy atmosphere which had encompassed pre-Islamic Arabia, there glittered a light in the birth of Muhammad (Peace be upon him). Never before or after any individual placed in such adverse circumstances had so completely purged his society of the multifarious deep-seated evils, giving it 
   a new and healthier shape, and had so much influenced the course of 
   contemporary and future history. Muhammad's (PBUH) practical teachings had 
   transformed a savage race into a civilized people who brought about the most 
   wonderful revolution in the history of mankind. He was the benefactor of 
   humanity and being the last and greatest of all the prophets, his teachings 
   were universal and for all times to come.
