The Teachings of the Prophet

THE TEACHINGS OF THE PROPHET Muhammad’s career as Prophet lasted for about 23 years, about half of which he spent in Makkah and the rest in Madinah, which lies about 280 miles north of Makkah. During the first period, his efforts to win the Makkans to Islam met with vehement opposition, and in 622 A.D. he had to emigrate, along with the few followers he had been able to convert, to Madinah. Here the Prophet was given a hearty welcome, and moved from one success to another. By the time he died in 632 A.D. he had united all Arabia under the banner of Islam and completed his message to mankind. THE TEACHINGS OF THE PROPHET The teachings of Prophet Muhammad bring God’s servants in contact with the Creator, make them understand how to establish a relationship with God and helps them understand the purpose of their life, so that they can achieve eternal salvation.
