<strong>The</strong> <strong>prophet</strong> <strong>Muhammad</strong><br />

from A <strong>to</strong>.Z<br />

3<br />

He despised false worship and all of the complexities and<br />

degradation <strong>to</strong> which it leads.<br />

He insisted on keeping the Commandments of Almighty<br />

God, just as <strong>prophet</strong>s of old had done in the past.<br />

He never committed adultery, and he forbid others<br />

from doing it.<br />

He forbade usury and interest on money lending, as Jesus,<br />

peace be upon him, had done centuries before him.<br />

He<br />

never gambled and did not allow it.<br />

He never drank alcohol or strong drink, even though it<br />

was a very normal thing for people of his time and place.<br />

He did not engage in gossip and used <strong>to</strong> turn away from<br />

hearing anything related <strong>to</strong> it.<br />

He offered prayers in the manner and direction (<strong>to</strong>ward<br />

Jerusalem, until Allah ordered the change <strong>to</strong>ward Makkah) as<br />

was prescribed of <strong>prophet</strong>s in the Bible, standing, bowing,<br />

kneeling and prostrating as they had done before him.
