“Allah is He, other than Whom there is no other god”

Qur’an 59:22“And worship Allah and associate none with Him”

About Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)

Muslims believe that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the final Prophet in a long chain of Prophets sent to call the people to the obedience and worship of God alone Some of these Prophets include Adam, Noah, Joseph, Jacob, Abraham, David, Jesus and Moses (peace be upon them all)

Muslims do not worship or ask divine guidance of Muhammad (peace be upon him) He warned:

“Do not exceed bounds in praising me as the Christians do in praising Jesus, Son of Mary I am only the Lord’s servant; then call me the Servant of Allah and His Messenger”

Just as Muslims believe that Moses (peace be upon him) was sent with the Torah2 and that Jesus (peace be upon him) was sent with the Gospel2, Muslims also believe that Muhammad (peace be upon him) was sent with The Qur’an to demonstrate how its teachings should be applied

Some sayings of the Prophet (peace be upon him) include:

“Among the best of you are they who have the best character”“Allah will not show mercy to him who does not show mercy to others”“The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength but the strong is the one who controls himself while in anger”“Look at the person who is below you; and do not look at one who is superior to you Thereby you would be able to better appreciate the favours that God has bestowed upon you”“Do not consider even the smallest good deed as insignificant; even meeting your brother with a cheerful face”“Be humble and do not harm or consider yourself superior to others
