Who İs Muhammad

The Ideal Example
“Indeed you (O Muhammad) are on an exalted standard of character”
Qur’an 68:4What has preceded is only a glimpse of how Muhammad (peace be upon him) lived his life The examples of kindness and mercy mentioned may come as a surprise to some people given the portrayal of Islam in the media and its constant misrepresentation

It is important when trying to understand Islam that one goes directly to its sources: The Qur’an, and the sayings and actions of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and that anyone does not judge Islam based on the errant actions of a few Muslims
