MUHAMMAD’S TEACHINGS TO MANKIND

ḤADĪTH OF THE DAY

“ The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon Him, said, " I met Abraham the night I was taken for a journey by night (i.e. during the Night Journey and Ascension (1)) and he said, 'Muḥammad, send my greetings to your nation and tell them that Paradise is of fragrant soil and fresh water; and that it is flat clearings and that its seedlings are: Exalted is God, praise is to God, there is no god but Allāh (2), and God is the greatest.'" Footnotes: (1) (al-isrā' and al-mi'rāj): the Night Journey of Prophet Muḥammad from Makkah to Jerusalem and his ascension to the seventh heaven. (2) Allāh is the Arabic name for the One and Only God, the same God shared by all monotheistic faiths (the name Allāh is often used by Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews). The name Allāh encompasses all the divine names and attributes of the Lord of the worlds, and hence has vast scopes of meaning. It is for this reason that Muslims consider it unique. Unlike the word 'God', Allāh in Arabic has no inflections of gender or number. ”
