The Prophet Muhammad () and hisSunnahMuhammad () was born in the year 570 CE from the honorablelineage of the two great Prophets of God, Abraham () and hisfirstborn son, Ishmael (). Muhammad () grew up with thetitle of ‘The Trustworthy’. At the age of forty, Muhammad ()was chosen by God to be His last Prophet and Messenger.The Sunnah refers to the sayings, actions, and tacit approvals ofthe Prophet Muhammad (). The reports and narrations aboutthe Sunnah are known as Hadith, and are collected in well-knownbooks. Like the Qur'an, the Sunnah is inspired by revelation fromGod through the Prophet Muhammad (). Unlike the Qur'an, itis not the direct, literal word of God. The teachings came fromGod (divine revelation) and the words were from the ProphetMuhammad () (an example for humanity). The Sunnah was alsometiculously preserved.It is obligatory for Muslims to follow the Sunnah of the ProphetMuhammad (). In the Qur'an, God orders the believers to obeythe Messenger (His representative). God says,“Obey God, and obey the Messenger.”[Qur'an 4:59]The purpose of life is to serve and obey God. This is achievedthrough following the teachings and practices of the Prophet ().God says,“You have indeed in the Messenger of Goda beautiful pattern [of conduct] for anyonewhose hope is in God and the final day,and who engages much in the praise ofGod.”[Qur'an 33:21]32
The Prophet () showed Muslims how to perform all aspects ofworship. He died at the age of 63 (in the year 632 CE) and wasburied at his home in the city of Medina (Yathrib). He alwaysgreeted and parted from his companions with salutations and invocationsof peace, which is recommended for all Muslims.Within a century, <strong>Islam</strong> spanned three continents, from Chinaacross Asia, throughout Africa, and into Spain in Europe.33
