We know Muhammad was honest because even before the preislamic period he's pagan relatives knew him as al amin(the truthful), not only his relatives but anyone who went to arabia. he would reconcile between people. remember that this is before the preislamic days. Muhammad was honest because noone who has narrated of him ever told that he had lied. and the message he brought was not changed for over 1400 years. so that itself proves he was an honest man. another thing is that he is rated number one by historians as the best man and by non historians as well. and keep in mind they are not muslim yet they consider him the best man who had walked on this earth. there are also many things he did such as caring for the old, the orphans, and treating muslims and non muslims with respect.

as for the suicide hadith, it must of have been fabricated because our prophet pbuh has never order suicide on anyone. and some people take things out of text which means they will use verses that have "jihad" in them and say "oh look this is what muhammad did". yes the prophet did go to many battles and fought but because he was surrounded by his enemy who had wished to kill him and his people. and he only fought back in self defense. not because he was jihad obsessed. hope that's clear, if you need more just pm me or post it here. salam(peace).

Evidence for the truth of the Prophethood of Muhammad
question:
There is a converted christian who does not believe in Quran.
We had many arguments over this issue, still he does not believe in Muhammed being a prophet of God, . I somehow feel that I should help him in knowing the actual truth.
Can you help me regarding this matter.
He Believes in Bible completely and follows it and has memorised it . But is unable to understand the importance of Quran.
ANSWER:
Praise be to Allaah.
First of all, it is essential to understand that guidance to the true religion of Islam and belief in the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and the message he brought comes about only by the help of Allaah, and that we are required to explain this and produce evidence of it.
There is a great deal of clear evidence for the one who seeks to find out the truth about the Prophethood of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), including the following:
Allaah chose him even though he had grown up as an orphan and was illiterate, knowing neither how to read or write. All good qualities and virtues were perfected in him, to the point of ultimate perfection. All these good qualities were combined and firmly established in him, something which no one else can attain except the Prophets whom Allaah protected and guided. This combination of perfect qualities is one of the greatest proofs of the truth of his Prophethood (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).
The revelation of Allaah was bestowed upon the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). The Angel of Revelation, Jibreel (Gabriel), who is recognized by all the People of the Book [Jews and Christians], came to him, and when he received revelation, there were unusual effects on him that indicated the intensity of the effort involved in receiving the Message of Allaah from Jibreel, upon whom be peace. His Companions witnessed this when he received Revelation, and they believed that the revelation was something that came from an outside source and was beyond his control; it came to him from (Allaah), the Wise and Praiseworthy.
Allaah supported the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) with physical miracles, with which he challenged his people. Among the most important of these were the splitting of the moon and the Night Journey to Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem). They were unable to match these miracles, and so they were a decisive, divine testimony to the truth of his Prophethood (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).
Allaah supported him with miracles and evidence for people of reason and understanding, the greatest of which was the Qur’aan. This was the greatest sign, which contains in its pages miracles of both style and content, which all of mankind cannot match or imitate, even if they gather together for that purpose. This is clear from the statements of the most eloquent of the Arabs, who were completely unable to match it. The Qur’aan was – and centuries later still is, praise be to Allaah – an eternal miracle as is evident in its brilliant style, its information about the Unseen, its fulfilment of the promises of Allaah, the superiority of its laws, and the fact that its rulings are appropriate for every time and place – in addition to the fact that it has such a moving impact on people’s hearts.
The Qur’aan refers to the signs and proofs surrounding the person of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), which testify to his truthfulness. For example, he was free of sin and trivial spitefulness; he grew up illiterate in the Arabian Peninsula, and did not receive any religious knowledge from beyond its borders, nor did he spend time acquiring any religious knowledge. When he reached the age of forty, he brought divine knowledge that none of the earlier or later generations could produce. He also received special protection and care from Allaah, which kept him safe at times of crisis; if it were not for this protection he would most certainly have been doomed to destruction. None of this could have happened except to one who was truly sent from Allaah.
His coming was foretold in the Tawraat (Torah) and Injeel (Gospel), and some of the People of the Book saw that these prophecies applied in totality to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), which led them to embrace Islam. There are still passages in the Bible, in both the Old and New Testaments, in the versions that are accepted by the People of the Book, that clearly refer to the Prophethood of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) – for example in the Gospel of Barnabas, which is considered by Christians to be the most authentic Gospel.
The Message of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was not unique to him, but was in nature and content similar to the message brought by other Messengers before him. Allaah had sent Prophets and Messengers, such as Moosa (Moses), ‘Eesa (Jesus) and others, to the Children of Israel, and great numbers had believed in them and borne witness to the truth of their Books, which were similar in general terms to the message brought by the Qur’aan. This was eloquent testimony to the truth of the Message with which he was sent, especially as it belonged to the same type of Message to whose truth they had testified.
When Allaah sent Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) with the same Message as the Prophets who had come before him, the Qur’aan came to confirm their Books and their Prophethood, and to call people to believe in them. So when the People of the Book disbelieved in him and his Book, it meant that they were disbelieving in their own Books and Messengers. As the Qur’aan contained the same principles as their books, and confirmed them, this meant that it was the least likely to be fabricated or to have come from a source other than Allaah, because all of them came from Allaah, may He be exalted.
In summary, then, the proof of truthfulness is quite clear in this case. The evidence is there both in (historical) reports and on the grounds of common sense. This will cure the ill (i.e., the one who has doubts) and quench the thirst (of the one who longs for knowledge), as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “… Indeed, there has come to you from Allaah a Light (prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)) and a plain Book (the Qur’aan), wherewith Allaah guides all those who seek His Good Pleasure to ways of peace, and He brings them out of darkness by His Will unto light, and guides them to a Straight Way” [al-Maa’idah 5:15-16].
In order to provide the Christian mentioned in the question with proof and evidence, it should be sufficient to give him a translation of the meanings of the Qur’aan. If he believes, then praise be to Allaah, and if he turns away, then destroy not yourself in sorrow for him (cf. Faatir 35:8). Allaah leaves astray whom He will and guides whom He will, and He is the Most Knowing of Guides.

many people don't know this, even many muslims don't know this, but the Prophet
is the most biographed man in history. the man was truly remarkable. think about it. he was so loved that people copied the way he walked, talked, prayed, laughed, even the way he combed his hair. people don't do that for the average man. you have to be someone great for that to take place. ALLAH SWT has blessed us with the teaching and example of the Prophet .
he lived the quran and is a perfect example of how ALLAH SWT wants us to live.

The Prophet peace be upon him is the only man that we know his life from his birth to his death.
Salaam,
I checked your profile. You are undecided about your faith.
We love our Prophet, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. He is the Mercy of Allah. He is the Beloved. He is our leader. He is our teacher. We walk in his path towards Allah subhana talla.
Forgive me for being emotional. That which is light and pure is life affirming. He exhibited the best of manners.
A person who contemplates suicide is dark and selfish. They have no faith. They fall into pity and become the putty of the devil.
The Prophet, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, had an obligation to Allah subhana talla. He had the responsibility of delivering the Message. The Message is divine in nature.
I would like to know what purpose you have by this post. Is it to incite our passions or is it genuine to help you revert.
