Family Tree of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.a.w.)peace be unto him
May peace and blessings be on all the Messengers of God. Prophet Muhammad is a direct descendant of Isma'il, the first son of Prophet Ibrahim(Abraham). Prophet Muhammad was born in Makkah as a fullfilment of the prayer of Abraham as explained in the following verses of the Holy Quran, a book of revelations from God to the Prophet.
002.124 And remember that Abraham was tried by his Lord with certain commands,
which he fulfilled: He said: "I will make thee an Imam to the Nations." He pleaded:
"And also (Imams) from my offspring!" He answered: "But My Promise is not within
the reach of evil-doers."
002.125 Remember We made the House a place of assembly for men and a place of
safety; and take ye the station of Abraham as a place of prayer; and We covenanted
with Abraham and Isma'il, that they should sanctify My House for those who
compass it round, or use it as a retreat, or bow, or prostrate themselves (therein in
prayer).
002.126 And remember Abraham said: "My Lord, make this a City of Peace, and
feed its people with fruits,-such of them as believe in God and the Last Day." He said:
"(Yea), and such as reject Faith,-for a while will I grant them their pleasure, but will
soon drive them to the torment of Fire,- an evil destination (indeed)!"
002.127 And remember Abraham and Isma'il raised the foundations of the House
(With this prayer): "Our Lord! Accept (this service) from us: For Thou art the All-
Hearing, the All-knowing.
002.128 "Our Lord! make of us Muslims, bowing to Thy (Will), and of our progeny a
people Muslim, bowing to Thy (will); and show us our place for the celebration of
(due) rites; and turn unto us (in Mercy); for Thou art the Oft-Returning, Most
Merciful.
002.129 "Our Lord! send amongst them an Apostle of their own, who shall rehearse
Thy Signs to them and instruct them in scripture and wisdom, and sanctify them: For
Thou art the Exalted in Might, the Wise."
002.130 And who turns away from the religion of Abraham but such as debase their
souls with folly? Him We chose and rendered pure in this world: And he will be in
the Hereafter in the ranks of the Righteous.
002.131 Behold! his Lord said to him: "Bow (thy will to Me):" He said: "I bow (my
will) to the Lord and Cherisher of the Universe."

I feel sorry for you. When a grown adult spends his life studying children's tales he begins to look like a coward. Why don't you make a real contribution to humanity, instead of squandering your life worshipping a book that is no better than any of the other ghost-worship books, and which would insult the intelligence of an ordinary 12 year old. Grow up, get an education.
ReplyDeleteDon't feel sorry for us..we have nothing to loose while you have everything to loose... I feel very sorry for you.. Life after death is reality and even if in your situation its not I have nothing to loose while you do.including your materialistic world May God Guide you... I pray for that..
Delete@Jay....the Qur'an is perfect. Muslims today stopped reading it as it should and have failed to implement it. May Allah grant us and you His guidance. In the end, we all die, and while our surviving relatives and friends ponder over what we left behind, the Angels that come to take our souls will ask about what we have sent forward. True "education" is the knowledge of God.
ReplyDeleteJay, it concerns me that you talk about intelligence, because if you bother to look into Islam you me realise how little you know, it is a divine book which gives fact, law, science, finance as a whole way of life. i find it ironic for someone who has not studied the religion can say that the majority of humans in the world are wrong. Muslims have contributed to medical,mathematics and science throughout the ages its a wonder how most new converts come from a highly educated background. Faisal Glasgow
