As quoted, ”the sayings of Muhammad are a treasure of wisdom not only for Muslims but for all mankind” (Sohrawardi, 2012). Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) born in Mecca in the year 570 is known as the founder of Islam. As known as the last prophet sent by god, his name, life, deeds and thoughts are till this day greatly valued and is shown by his name being invoked in admiration several times a day by a Muslim (Nasr, 2013). He was recognized for his outstanding behavior, and as a result of his genuineness and reliability he was alluded to as al-Saadiq (The Truthful One) and al-Amin (The Trustworthy One). In the context of talking about the prophet hood of Muhammad (peace be upon him), we have to go to the past, in which the Qur'an was revealed. Sixth century Arabia was covered with dimness, as the advancing field of science was then obscure to mankind. As a young orphan, Muhammad traveled with his uncle for business trips to Syria. Before long he built a career for himself by looking after caravans that belonged to the merchants. First with his uncle and later in his career, Muhammad came across many individuals of numerous nationalities and beliefs, including Jews, Christians, etc through his travel. During the age of 25, he was employed to a wealthy widow who was 15 years older to him, named Khadija. She was a noble and famous businesswoman who came from a prominent family. Prophet Muhammad spent most of his time praying, which he would carry out in a cave namely Hira, near the city of Mecca, located in a mountain known as Al-Noor. Muhammad holds great importance in the lives of Muslims as a statesman as well as a prophet by setting a perfect example of being merciful, compassionate, brave and truthful. All of history has not preser...

...condition that he must surrender his mission. The prophet (peace and endowments be upon him) solidly, yet amenably, turned down all their offers. Another aspect that exhibits the prophet as a capable and efficient statesman is his potential to handle the economy. Prophet Muhammad took incredible forethought of his people's religious economic requirements. He made arrangements and organizations together with numerous tribes and had incredible, adaptable abilities. He taught diplomacy that was based on ethical quality and honestly and also, regarded all his agreements while protecting his people. Also, the prophet was mindful of the encompassing circumstances and made his people primed and caution. The different techniques obtained by prophet Mohammad in combination with is unique leadership style played a significant role is communicating the divine message of Allah.
Secondly, Muhammad is a person who received the Koran’s revelations and founded Islam as a prophet. Muhammad was born in Mecca, and when he became 12, he followed his uncle, and served as a caravan trader. While
The war in Vietnam ranged from 1956 to 1975, within these years many unconventional methods of warfare were used, such as “Agent Orange”, guerilla warfare and even events such as the “My Lai Massacre” occurred. The Vietnam War was a proxy war in which the United States fought the North Vietnamese who were backed by the USSR, we did not win the Vietnam war due to a lack of clear goals, and the impossibility to combat the North Vietnamese soldiers who by day were regular civilians but by night were using guerilla attacks on U.S. soldiers. Throughout the Vietnam War our troops and bombs caused large amounts of damage to the land of North and South Vietnam but the most damage was in our own home. Throughout the United States involvement in Vietnam, there were many adverse effects on our own lives, including the large increase of political, social and economic tension. The Vietnam War heightened social, political and economic tensions by causing inflation and a growing budget deficit of the United States. For the social tensions, it caused for the first time people protesting against a war and a lack of faith in the government due to being lied to. And as for political tensions the first lottery draft in history stressed many politicians due to an outraged population.
This paper will argue that no other literary work explores more about imperial stories focusing on resources besides concentrating on the need to speak stories to the people other than Things Fall Apart (1953) by Chinua Achebe and King Solomon’s Mine (1885) by Ridder Haggard. Chinua Achebe avers that the writer in both new and old nation has a bigger role to play while presenting his or her content to the audience (Faulkner, 2007, p. 52). Taking it from the African perspective, Achebe holds that the writer ought to help people from Africa and abroad comprehend that Africans had and maintained viable culture that remained intact before the arrival of the white man on the African land. In his book Things Fall Apart, Achebe demonstrates that the African writer carries recognizing and celebrating the culture as his or her biggest job in order to make people from Africa start salvaging their dignity. Chinua Achebe presents Things Fall Apart in a way that readers do not fail to appreciate and embrace cultural perspective. To facilitate this understanding, Achebe picks information accessible to the readers as well as that provides cultural and historical; context in many ways. He presents two stories that seem to overlap and intertwine at the same time in the novel under scrutiny in this context. Both stories revolve around Okonkwo, described as a strong man hailing from the village of Ibo in Nigeria (Achebe, 1997, p. 12). The presentation aims at making sure that readers get the right text-to-text, text-self, as well as text-to-world connections. To achieve this, Achebe applies various historical, geographical, literary, and cultural resources.
Muhammad ibn Abdullah, founder of Islam and God’s messenger, would become known as a Prophet. Although he was extremely successful in expressing his message, the conditions to which Muhammad was born into may not be considered conducive for a young boy to thrive. In other words, the environment placed upon Muhammad was unable to repress him, and perhaps influenced him to become the most influential person in Islamic history, or the second largest religion today.
There are many stages of psychology which have developed over time. Greek philosopher Socrates (469-399BC) was interested in studying the reincarnation of the soul and mind, which he believed contained the knowledge. The soul and mind were considered as the representation of individuals. He believed that we needed questions and answers to reveal the truth; this method is known as Dialectics (BC, 2012). Plato (384-347BC) was a bright student of Socrates who devoted his life to philosophy. Plato lengthened Socrates thoughts in philosophy about life and soul by founding his own school. Plato believed diseases of the mind came from high amounts of pain and pleasure, stopping our ability to reason properly. This brought forward the idea of desire, feeling and appetite. This is very similar to Freud’s idea of id, ego and superego. Aristotle (384-322BC) wrote a book about psychology, called Para Psyche. He presented the basic ideas in psychology today, e.g. law of suggestion. However, the study of psychology was mainly connected to the soul and mind at that period. There was never any focus on the behaviour of the individual.
I believe that enrichment is an important part of the college experience. Beyond academics, personal growth and intellectual development outside of the classroom are also key components of the college years. In my opinion, study abroad is a great opportunity that can enhance my UW life and help me to gain different perspectives.
Muhammad ibn Abdullah was a very unique and incredible man. He was not a mythological or semi-divine figure, but instead, lived just like other people. He had such gentleness, compassion, and piety which would help explain why for Muslims, that he is simply called insan-i-kamil; the perfect person. This is most greatly shown in the year 610, when Muhammad was about forty years old. He had heard the voice of the angel Gabriel. It ordered him to recite some of the divine verses of Quran, which contains the messages of God. It was then the Quran was revealed, and the world would know Muhammad as the Prophet of Islam.
The prophet Muhammad was the founder of Islam. Muhammad was recognized and acknowledged by the Jews, at the time he was born, and later by Abyssinian Christians as God’s own apostle (Peters 133). The life and achievements of Muhammad would affected the spiritual, political, and ethical vision of Muslims forever (Armstrong 23). Muhammad was called to be the Messenger and Prophet of God around age forty, although he reported that at some time before the angel Gabriel first...
Pacino’s 1996 docudrama Looking for Richard reshapes and deconstructs Shakespeare’s illustration of the Machiavellian Richard’s rampant in illegitimately pursuing monarchical authority in Richard III and his consequent defiance of divinely sanctioned principles of retribution in the heavily Protestant Elizabethan era. Whilst paralleling the moral notions of the punishment of sin and the corrupting nature of power, Pacino undermines the monopolizing ascendency of British literary culture and highlights the diminishing piety of 1990s America. In flaunting his post-structuralist creative license, Pacino interprets Shakespeare’s historical tragedy into a hybrid text that combines both performance and analysis, which explicates the linguistic and theatrical complexities of Shakespeare’s text to a postmodern audience. Through hindsight Pacino reshapes the Shakespearean discourse of Richard’s duplicitous ploys for royal power into an individualistic quest to alleviate cultural ignorance.
Earth is a planet is made up of a mixture of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and several other gaseous elements that have created and sustained life as we know it. The universe is a vast space made of matter that varies from the smallest cosmic particle to a massive galaxy. Within one of billions of galaxies is home to planet earth, which is one of 7 planets in the Milky Way Galaxy, all orbiting a star. Based on what human life is conscious of, Earth is the only residence of intelligent life in the universe. Could planet Earth be the only planet able to sustain intelligent life or are there other planets with similar chemical make-up to do so? Or could it be that there are other elements unknown to humans that can create and sustain what we consider “intelligent life”? If possible, would these living beings be anything like humans or far different beyond imaginable? These are questions scientific research can only analyze and attempt to answer.
The story of Prophet Muhammad is the best story of all. Prophet Muhammad is the one who had the changed the world around him and had the greatest influence for the people during his time and in today’s world as well. He puts other people welfare before his own; he values other people importance before his own. These values of him made people to loved and respected him for his dedication and honesty to the society. As an Islam’s founder, some people claimed that Prophet Muhammad is a reformer while others claimed him as a revolutionary. Before I make any further argument, let’s first define what’s the difference between a reformer and revolutionary. First of all, I believe a reformer is a person who makes changes in something such as a practice or political issue in order to improve what they already have to be better. Meanwhile, a revolutionary is a person who is either actively involved or advocates revolution. Thus, here I will argue that Prophet Muhammad is a reformer instead of a revolutionary.
The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is the messenger of God and a model for mankind. Conceived in the city of Makkah on the Arabian landmass in 570 CE, he became an orphan at a very young age and was then raised by an uncle, Abu Talib. He wedded a more established lady, the widow Khadijah, for whom he had worked in the band exchange. As a trader, he was referred to by notoriety as al-Amin, the believed one. At the point when Muhammad was forty years of age, he had a significant experience that changed his life. He was the last prophet from God and will not be any other Prophets after him. The life of this incredible Prophet comprises of numerous examples and key moments, which helped, fulfill the ultimate mission to spread the message of Islam to mankind. Out of those many examples, I
The word Muhammad is known as the praised one. His mother heard an angelic voice while she was pregnant and he was born covered in light. He was born to Hashim clan of Quraysh tribe in 570 CE. (Fisher 176) Muhammad was visited by two angles at the stage of infancy and they removed sin from his heart by using a pure white snow. He have a birthmark in his back which is surrounded by hair and Jews identified this as the mark of godliness. Muhammad’s father died before he was born. His father was doing a trading journey and after his father’s death his family fell on hard times. Muhammad was sent to a Bedouin tribe to be wet nursed as per the custom and a poor woman took him in so Muhamm...
