Who was muhammad?
Muhammad was the final messenger of God, to whom the Quran was revealed; a man, not divine, loved by Muslims for his love of humanity.
Muhammad, peace be upon him, was the man to whom God revealed the Quran, and Muslims believe he was the final messenger in the line of prophets that includes Abraham, Moses and Jesus. When a Muslim declares faith in one God, he also declares that Muhammad is God’s servant and messenger. He was a human being like any other, not divine, but his behaviour and moral standards are held up as an example for all, and Muslims say his life was the Quran lived out. What sets him apart, Muslims say, is his love for humanity: he wept for his community and prayed for people who had not yet been born, and he longed for Paradise not only for himself but for everyone. When his name is mentioned, Muslims ask God to bless him. The article “Who is Prophet Muhammad?” introduces him in more detail.
