The Truth About Muhammad That Uninformed Americans Need to Know

11/11/2019

No religious leader has as much influence on his followers as does Muhammad (Peace be upon him) the last Prophet of Islam - and Muhammad as the final messenger of God enjoys pre-eminence when it comes to revelation - the Qur'an - and traditions. So much so that the words, deeds and silences (that which he saw and did not forbid) of Muhammad became an independent source of Islamic law. Muslims, as a part of religious observance, not only obey, but also seek to emulate and imitate their Prophet in every aspect of life. Thus, Muhammad is the medium as well as a source of the divine law.
