Quod Sum Eris pulls the thread out of basement after two years
Quod Sum Eris responds to that to day
My goodness you pulled that out of CEMB storage after two years Quod Sum Eris., That is a good one to make people understand Islam and the origins of Islam. Let me put those Islamic freebie links here for those who are interested in brainwashing/explaining folks
why Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is the best example follow to every one on this earth..

Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh)-The Best Role ModelProphet Muhammad (Pbuh)-The Mercy to mankindincidentally 90% of such books come from either Land of Pure or those who moved out of Land of Pure for doing Islamic Dawah. So what is so great about Prophet Muhammad that he was/is greatest human being and the best role model for mankind for all times? why not other Prophets? Moses or Jesus or others? well for that let me add timeline Prophet Muhammad's life which is published many many times..
The time line of Prophet Muhammad' s life is as follows. Here is the 1st part of his life
571: Birth of the Holy Prophet. Year of the Elephant. Invasion of Makkah by Abraha the Viceroy of Yemen, his retreat.
577: The Holy Prophet visits Madina with his mother. Death of his mother.
580: Death of Abdul Muttalib, the grandfather of the Holy Prophet.
583: The Holy Prophet's journey to Syria in the company of his uncle Abu Talib. His meeting with the monk Bahira at Bisra who foretells of his prophethood.
586: The Holy Prophet participates in the war of Fijar.
591: The Holy Prophet becomes an active member of "Hilful Fudul", a league for the relief of the distressed.
So our Muhammad, an young boy grew up in his uncles/grand father's house until this time had absolutely normal character with no evidence any Prophetism character in him., He is already a 22 year old guy. Now let us look in to the 2nd part of his life. Where he becomes the Manager of the business of Lady Khadija and when he was was 25 year old, marries that 40 year old rich, good looking and powerful business lady of the town
594: The Holy Prophet becomes the Manager of the business of Lady Khadija, and leads her trade caravan to Syria and back.
595: The Holy Prophet marries Hadrat Khadija. Seventh century
605: The Holy Prophet arbitrates in a dispute among the Quraish about the placing of the Black Stone in the Kaaba.
Until the year 605., that is Mr. Muhammad was a 40 year old guy, there was absolutely no hint of he being a messenger or had prophet job reserved for him from Allah. , This messenger/prophet game starts when he turns in to a 41 year old guy so let us go to the third part of his life.
610: The first revelation in the cave at Mt. Hira. The Holy Prophet is commissioned as the Messenger of God.
613: Declaration at Mt. Sara inviting the general public to Islam.
614: Invitation to the Hashimites to accept Islam.
So Prophet start preaching his Islam, singing songs on the roads and insulting pagan gods of Mecca when ever he gets a chance., No one cared until this time he hardly had ~200 people who joined his congregation. Now this 4th part of his life and apparently starts with Meccan people persecuting/insulting him. Often these people were his own uncles, aunts and his clan. Clearly he and his followers were insulting their gods , So some folks might have started insulting him and his followers.
615: Persecution of the Muslims by the Quraish. A party of Muslims leaves for Abyssinia.
616: Second Hijrah to Abysinnia.
617: Social boycott of the Hashimites and the Holy Prophet by the Quraish. The Hashimites are shut up in a glen outside Makkah.
619: Lifting of the boycott. Deaths of Abu Talib and Hadrat Khadija. Year of sorrow.
620: Journey to Taif. Ascension to the heavens.
So that is the persecution of Muhammad followers by Pagans/Jewish folks and Christians of Mecca. ., a careful look in to the early Islamic history from Muslims writers tells me,., this persecution at the best was nothing more than singing songs against each other or insulting each other with "some foul words".. Prophet's real Islam comes after the death of his first wife Khadija and the guy was at that time already 49/50 year old guy. So his REAL ISLAM started in the next 13 years of his life ., which is filled with wars/expeditions/killings, looting and what not.
621: First pledge at Aqaba.
622: Second pledge at Aqaba. The Holy Prophet and the Muslims migrate to Yathrib.
623: Nakhla expedition.
624: Battle of Badr. Expulsion of the Bani Qainuqa Jews from Madina.
625: Battle of Uhud. Massacre of 70 Muslims at Bir Mauna. Expulsion of Banu Nadir Jews from Madina. Second expedition of Badr.
626: Expedition of Banu Mustaliq.
627: Battle of the Trench. Expulsion of Banu Quraiza Jews.[/color]
628: Truce of Hudaibiya. Expedition to Khyber. The Holy Prophet addresses letters to various heads of states.
629: The Holy Prophet performs the pilgrimage at Makkah. Expedition to Muta (Romans).
630: Conquest of Makkah. Battles of Hunsin, Auras, and Taif.
631: Expedition to Tabuk. Year of Deputations.
632: Farewell pilgrimage at Makkah.
632: Death of the Holy Prophet
well that is 63 years of life of Prophet Muhammad. So in those last 13 years of his life, Prophet Marries 13 women in 13 years one was a child other was adopted son's wife and and had another 13 concubines. With all that in his busy life he still could chat with allah and write/preach all that we see in Quran. Well that could be the reason why he is greatest or there could be other reasons. allah knows the best
