Milad Al-Nabi

Today we celebrate the birth of Prophet Mohammed (PBUH)! Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) brought light to the world. He saved us from ignorance times and its horrible traditions. Just to mention one example: Arabs before Islam used to burry their daughters alife thinking they brought shame but this was stopped by Prophet Mohammed (PBUH). This is just one of many traditions changed by Islam. He was a great person and this is recognised by both Muslim thinkers as well as non Muslim thinkers who acknowledge his positive contrubutions to the world. His influence is still very much felt today after decades of his death. We need to sit down and learn more about the teachings of Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) because in Islam we find the answer to our problems in this troublesome world. We should not allow others to hijack this wonderful religion and way of life. I am far from qualified to write about Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) so forgive me for not writing a post that really reflects the weight of its subject but off course the web is rich of information about Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) and Islam such as www.islamweb.net and many others.
