A Glance into Daily Life of Prophet Mohammed (PBUH)

Image
"There is no God but Allah, and Mohammed is the messenger of Allah." When we take this declaration of faith, we believe firmly in the Oneness of Allah. Subsequently, we submit ourselves in believing that the Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) is the messenger of Allah. Making it obligatory upon the Muslims, Allah has made it clear that without believing in prophet-hood, we cannot achieve the status of being a Muslim. Hence, we clearly understand the importance of not just accepting Mohammed (peace be upon him) as the last prophet, but also following his footsteps. We need to treat him as our role model and apply his ways in our daily lives. Allah has commanded to follow the teachings of Hazrat Mohammed (peace be upon him).

The Arabic word Tajweed means “proficiency” or “doing something well. When we apply Tajweed to the Quran, Tajweed Quran means giving every letter of the Quran its due rights and observing the rules that apply to these letters in different situations. The Quran was first revealed when the angel Jibril recited the words of Allah (Quran) to the last Prophet (peace be upon him), he recited them in a certain way which is called Tajweed. Therefore, it is necessary for Muslims to follow these rules in order to recite the Quran in its original, true form. The Origin of Tajweed rules At the time when Quran was revealed, there was no need for people to especially learn Tajweed because Arabic was the native language, and the people talked in the manner that is now recognized as Tajweed.
