the revelation from God through the angel known as Gabriel/Jibrael. Those revelation that prophet Muhammad receives were recorded and revealed through words of mouth or written down by ink(Al-Quran). Prophet Muhammad continue receiving the peaceful message through-out his prophethood life of 23 years. More of the insights of the prophet Muhammad would come along the way, as for now I would move on to another area.
As for a great man like Prophet Muhammad pbuh, it would be unfair to write a brief description of him to have a good understanding of who he really was, so readers please keep up with this blog as I would try to the best of my ability to tell you more as I go along.
Skipping on the long introduction that I've made, I would like to share the character of prophet Muhammad. Back then there was a say of "the Wing of Islam". This term was referring to the caliph/leader of Islam after the death of the prophet. It was specifically referring to Abu Bakr as Siddiq and Umar Al-Khattab, the first and second caliph of Islam respectively. They were the companions of the prophet during his life time. Such titles were attributed to them because if you were to talk about Abu Bakr r.a., you'll end up talking about Umar r.a. That was how close they were to each other. It was written in a hadith(saying and deeds of the prophet), that if you were to see the prophet walking, he will be accompanied by Abu Bakr and Umar by his side, and when he leaves accompanied by Abu Bakr and Umar, he will return with Abu Bakr and Umar still by his side.
If we were to put ourselves in todays context, one would be wondering why a man with the status of messanger of God would still have a great connection with his companions? As for ourselves, knowing that we are no-where near to the greatness of a prophet, staying together would be more important for us. We cant walk this earth alone, not even the prophet of God, because we must still remember that he is still human and humans have limitations, so the prophet still rely on others just like us.
