Story of Prophet
Muhammad S.A.W
When the inhabitants of Mecca in a state of darkness
and losing their grip, it was born in the midst of that society, a baby named
Muhammad, who will be the role model and straighten their aqeedah and life from
the error into a true way and being blessed by Allah. Muhammad was born by a
mother named Aminah on 12 Early Rabi’ul in the elephant or on April 20, 571 AD.
His father, Abdullah, had passed away when Muhammad was 7 months in his
mother’s womb.
It already became a custom of the Arabs of Mecca that
they entrusted their children and breastfed them to Badiyah women so that the
baby could enjoy fresh air and could speak the language fluently. As well as
Muhammad who was the nobility descendant of Quraysh, he had been commended and
breastfed by Halimah As-Sa’diyah.
After he was five years old, Halimah chaperoned
Muhammad to Mecca. Halimah returned him to his mother, Siti Aminah. A year
later, Aminah passed away. After that, Muhammad was fostered by his
grandfather, Abdul Mutholib. The next two years, Muhammad’s grandfather also
passed away. After that, he was fostered by his uncle, Abu Tholib.
While he was growing up to be adult, the prophet
Muhammad S.A.W started his life independently and he did not depend on his
uncle anymore. He was well-known as an honest and kind man among his friends
and also older people because he never said lie and bad things. Due to his good
character and behavior, a rich widow entrusted her merchandise to the prophet
Muhammad S.A.W to be sold in Syams land. That woman was Khadijah.
After his arrival from Syams, there was a marriage
proposal from Khadijah to the prophet Muhammad S.A.W through Khadijah’s uncle.
The wedding was held after two of them agreed. The prophet Muhammad S.A.W was
25 years old when he got married, meanwhile Khadijah was 40 years old.
As the next leader of human beings in this world, the
prophet Muhammad S.A.W had many aptitudes, big soul, smart thought, sharp
brain, soft feeling, strong memory, quick response, and strong mentality. He
knew his society’s sadness and the collapse of their religion. Therefore, he
went to Hira’ cave to illuminate his thoughts and prepare himself to face those
problems.
On Romadhon 17th, or it was same as August 6, 610 AD, Jibril
angel came to the prophet Muhammad S.A.W who was still in Hira’ cave. At that
place, the prophet Muhammad S.A.W accepted the first revelation. The next half
and two years, the prophet Muhammad S.A.W accepted the second revelation.
After the second revelation was accepted, the prophet
Muhammad S.A.W began his da’wah secretly. He started from his family and best
friends in order to leave their pagan religion. He asked them to only worship
Allah. He did it for about three years. After that, he started his da’wah
openly in front of public.
His struggle in da’wah got many obstacles and
rejection. However, he was still patient, spiritful, and not easily giving up.
He always asked protection from Allah SWT.
On Rajab 27, the eleventh year after Muhammad S.A.W
was appointed as the prophet, Isra’ Mi’raj happened. At that time, the prophet
Muhammad S.A.W accepted a command to pray five times a day from Allah SWT.
The prophet Muhammad S.A.W passed away because of
fever on 12 early rabi’ul 11 Hijriyah or it is same as June 8th, 632 AD. He was
63 years old when he passed away. During his 23-year being the prophet, he
struggled hard in da’wah for Islam. He didn’t leave his people properties or
throne, but Al-Qur’an and Hadits to be guidance in behaving and doing things in
their life.

The Story of
Ibrahim A.S
Many years ago a boy called Ibrahim lived in Canaan.
He was very clever and was always asking questions. Most of the people he knew
worshipped idols but Ibrahim did not.The people had forgotten the messages that
Adam, Hud, Nuh and Salih had brought them. Instead of praising Allah they
worshipped statues.
Ibrahim told his father he didn't think people should
worship objects they had made themselves. His father was angry and told him not
to say anything about the gods again. Ibrahim decided he must show the people
they were wrong so he thought of a plan.
One night he sneaked into the place where all the
statues were kept. With an axe he chopped off the heads from all but one of the
statues. The biggest one he left. The next morning the people were very angry
and upset at what had happened. They were sure Ibrahim had done it. They
gathered in the public square and asked him if he had done it. Ibrahim told
them to ask their big idol if he knew who was responsible.
But, of course, the statue could not speak and the
people knew it was only stone. Ibrahim shouted at them and asked how they could
worship lumps of stone. The bad people were even more angry. They started to
collect wood for a fire. They were going to burn Ibrahim to death. They made a
big bonfire and put Ibrahim on the top. Everyone came to watch. They lit the
wood. The fire burned, the flames grew higher and higher. The people had to
back away from the heat of the flames.
Ibrahim was a good person. He believed in Allah. Allah
would protect him. Allah would not let the fire harm him. When the flames dies
down the people could not believe their eyes.They saw that Ibrahim was alive
and the flames had not harmed him at all. How had this happened? They all knew
this was a great miracle and they fell to their knees.
This wonderful thing had made them believe in Allah.
Some people would still not listen. They thought Ibrahim was just a magician
Nimrod, the king of Canaan, heard all about Ibrahim. He wanted to talk to him.
He asked Ibrahim about Allah. Ibrahim told him that Allah could do all things.
He could give life and death. Nimrod said that he too
could do that. His soldiers brought two men in. Nimrod ordered one to be killed
and the other to be saved. Nimrod thought that this made him like Allah.
Ibrahim told him that Allah brings the sun every morning from the East.
He asked Nimrod
if he could bring the sun from the west next day, of course, Nimrod was unable
to do that.
Ibrahim married a girl called Sarah. They lived very
happily in Palestine. They worked and had plenty of everything. Ibrahim became
very wealthy, but he was a good man. He always helped other people too.
After many years Ibrahim and Sarah still had no
children. This made them very sad. They both wanted a child to share their life
with. Sarah told Ibrahim that he should marry her servant Hajar too, so that
Ibrahim and Hajar could make a child together.
