Life of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)




Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is one of the most important figure in the history of Islam. He was the final prophet of Islam. 

Early life:

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was born in 570 CE in Mecca. He was born in Quraysh tribe, one of the most respected tribe in the region. When he came into the world, the idols of Kaaba fell over, in a distant city Medina a bright star appeared in the sky. The courtroom of Persian king shook and collapsed as if the world was welcoming the arrival of him. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the descended of prophet Ishmael (peace be upon him). His father, Abdullah, passed aways before his birth and his mother, Amina died when he was only six. At that time because of the tradition of Arab, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)was raised by his milk mother Halima Saadia. Orphaned at young age, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was raised by his grandfather Abdul-Muttalib and later by his uncle Abu Talib. Once when he accompanied his uncle, on a journey to Syria, they met a monk named Bahira. He understood all the characteristics were pointing to the future prophet. Muhammad was known in Mecca as Al-Amin, meaning trustworthy. During this time, he married to a wealthy and respected businesswomen Khadija. She married to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) because of his characteristics. She was the only wife until her death. Their marriage lasted for 25 years.

Life as a Prophet:

At the age of 40 Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was in the cave of Hira, angel Jibril (the bringer of good news) proclaimed that Allah, the almighty god, had appointed him as a prophet and said the first sura of Quran. When he returned home, he told Khadija everything and she believed in him. Thus a new phase began in the life of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).The noble Quran was considered the greatest miracle bestowed upon Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). While giving dawah of tawhid, once the disbelievers asked him to split the moon in two and said, "if you could do it we will convert to Islam". So he did in fact split the moon in two. But no one converted. This phenomenon was noticed by an Indian king Cheraman Perumal. He traveled to Arab to meet Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and accepted Islam. This was one of many miracles in his lifetime. 

Miraj(The Ascendence):

A miracle that transcended the boundaries of our known reality known as Miraj. One night, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was taken from his bed and brought to Jerusalem with a special being named "Burak" apparently from another dimension. In the presence of Jibril he ascended from there to heavens. There the prophet traversed seven mysterious spheres until he reached the final gate. On the way he witnessed many other angel in different forms. After reaching the seventh sphere the prophet reached a place called "Bait-utl-Ma'mur", pilgrimage site for angels similar to Kaaba. Eventually, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) reached  the "Sidratul Al Muntaha", the tree at the utmost boundary no one can surpass. On the way continuing his journey alone, the prophet heard the sound of a writing pen whose volume conquered the entire dimension with its resonance. Finally, he met Allah, where no time, space or dimension existed.

Hijra(the emigration):

But when followers started to rise the idolaters became desperate and tried to kill him. So Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the followers had to fled to Medina and fought with the idolaters and won. Later with 10,000 troops he conquered Mecca.

To conclude, the life of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) serves as a profound and timeless example of compassion, perseverance, and dedication to a higher purpose. As we reflect on the life of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), it becomes clear that his message transcends time and place. It is a call to all people to live with integrity, strive for social justice, and pursue peace and understanding in an ever-changing world. His life is not just a chapter in history, but a beacon of guidance that remains as relevant today as it was over 1,400 years ago.

May we all find inspiration in his words and actions, and strive to embody the qualities that he exemplified: mercy, kindness, and unwavering commitment to the truth.

Designing My Dream Home: A Personal Journey into Interior Design

Designing My Dream Home: A Personal Journey into Interior Design Since I was 4, I dreamed of living in a self-designed home. Growing up in a joint family, it was pretty hard to find an appropriate living space. Though the making of our now sweet home was a 2 years lengthy process, I enjoyed and learned from every bit of this experience.   People usually find a reliable interior designing company and handover the whole project to them. But my father trusted my vision and let me handle the whole thing with full freedom and authority.  I wanted to make a blank canvas to a dream abode with my own creativity. So, I decided to assign an interior architect who helped me to guide through this journey while I had my full interference in this whole project.   Initially, the architect in charge, provided me a 3D layout of the whole house. And that is where my work began. I took the draft as my guideline and started looking for materials with the help of the interior arch...

“ At that moment, when I finally reached the peak of Keokradong after five hours of tracking, the first thing that came to my mind was that I had been living the life that I always wanted to be in. The mild breeze and the calmness at the peak melted away the hardships of tracking and filled my heart with peace. ” From childhood, I have been an energetic and restless person, who loves to travel and loves to introduce new people. It started back then when I was a little kid when my parents used to visit me in different places, which made me happy from childhood. While growing up I have visited many places in Bangladesh and  started from visiting tourist spots to visiting different cities, historical places, Hills tracks, and so on. Traveling is an ongoing process of life. I always keep a quote in my mind that is, ” You only live once ”.For this reason, I believe that we don't need to live much longer, rather we need to live our lives the way we love to live, and this is my philosophy...
