The First Revelation
The Holy Prophet (S) use to spend a lot of his time in the cave of Mount Hira, which is a mountain overlooking the Holy Ka'ba, some three miles north of Makka. It was his habit to sometimes spend a few days continuously in the cave in prayers, and his wife Bibi Khadija (A) would bring him some food and water.
One night when he was in the cave of Mount Hira, he heard a voice calling his name and suddenly there was a dazzling light in the cave. The Holy Prophet (S) sat
Since the Abbasid rulers were unjust and oppressive, work with them was unlawful as the Shia believed. Muhammad bin Ali bin Eesa wrote to Imam al-Hadi (a.s.) asking whether the work for the Abbasids and taking from their monies was permissible or not. Imam al-Hadi (a.s.) said, 'That which happens by force and subjection is pardoned by Allah, otherwise, it is hated. There is no doubt that the little of it is better than the excess. The expiation of that is that one does what may delight
One of the distinct features of the Prophet (SAW) is that he was the teacher, founder, and leader of his nation (Ummah).
His behavior towards people is worth consideration as an example for both people and governments to follow. The base of our discussion is from the Holy Qur’an, which states:
“Certainly an apostle has come to you from among yourselves; grievous to him is your falling into distress, excessively solicitous respecting you; to the believers (he is) Compassionate
On 8th of the Islamic month of Safar in 35 AH, the loyal Iranian disciple of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), Salman Farsi, or the Persian, passed away in Mada’en in Iraq, where his mausoleum still stands today, with the Prophet’s famous hadith inscribed in bold letters on its walls, reading “Salman minna Ahl al-Bayt”, which means “Salman is from us the People of the Blessed Household,” an honour that was not bestowed on any Arab companion of the Prophet.
Salman, whose name was Rouzbeh, fed up with the weird rites of the

Ibn-Kiniyah assaulted Mohammed, and aiming a blow at his shoulder, shouted that he had killed him. The prophet's glance now fell on a cowardly fellow of the Muhâjerees, who was running away with his shield hung on his back. Throw down your shield and go to hell! cried Mohammed. The fellow actually dropped his shield, which was taken by Neseebah and borne in defence of the prophet, who declared her reward for the day greater than that of Abubekr, Omar and
The books of traditions reported that once he chanced upon some poor men who put a few crumbs of bread on the ground in front of them and were eating them. They invited him to eat with them. He accepted the invitation and said: "Certainly Allah does not like the proud.
Having finished eating them, he invited them to his house. He showered them with money, fed and clothed them.
Once, he was asked: "We do you not disappoint a beggar. why?"
He (a.s.) replied:

The Morals and Behaviour of the Holy Prophet
The more science and technology advances, the greater is the need for the observance and practice of the teachings and instructions of divine prophets in human societies. This is because science and technology provide only machines and instruments and by no means prevent their misuse by human beings. The terrible rise in murder, other felonies, corruption, suicide and so forth clearly points to this very fact. If morality, which is a
One of the specific challenges in the Qur’an to prove its miraculous nature is the position of the recipient of the revelation, prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
In one of the verses, Allah commands the prophet to say to his people that before the revelation, he lived a lifetime among them.
