PROPHET MUHAMMAD (2)

The Arab people were invited by Muhammad to accept Islam. Some responded favorably, but most of them rejected Islam. They also turned against him. In 622 A.D. Muhammad migrated to Medina. It was in the 12^th year of his prophet-hood. In Medina he was accepted as a leader of an Islamic state. There he established the foundations of the relation among Muslim people and between Muslim and non-Muslim people in general.

The Islamic calendar began from the time of migration. Migration in Arabic is Hijrah. In Mecca he tried to establish belief in One God among Arabic people. In Medina he tried to establish a social life among many different people. Muhammad continued to preach Islam in Medina. He worked with unmatched patience and great wisdom.

A short time after his death, the message of Islam spread to most parts of the world. Islam contributes to world history. It also contributes to civilization and scientific development. Today, about 1.000 million Muslims all over the world accept Islam.

NABI MUHAMMAD (2)

Orang Arab diajak oleh Muhammad untuk menerima Islam. Ada beberapa yang menanggapi dengan senang hati, tetapi sebagian besar dari mereka menolak Islam. Mereka juga melawannya. Pada tahun 622 Masehi Muhammad berpindah ke Madinah. Itu merupakan 12 tahun kenabiannya.  Dia diterima di Madinah sebagai pemimpin Negara islam. Disana ia mendirikan hubungan yang mendasar antara sesama orang Muslim dan antara Muslim dengan orang non-Muslim secara umum.

Kalender Islam dimulai dari masa berpindah (Nabi). Perpindahan di bahasa arab disebut Hijrah. Di Mekkah ia mencoba menegakkan kepercayaan pada satu tuhan di antara orang Arab. Di Madinah ia mencoba mendirikan sebuah kehidupan social di antara banyak orang yang berbeda. Ia meneruskan untuk menyebarkan Islam di Madinah. Ia bekerja dengan kesabaran tiada tara dan kebijakan yang luar biasa.

Waktu yang singkat setelah kematiannya pesan Islam telah menyebar ke sebagian besar dunia. Islam menyumbangkan sejarah dunia. Islam juga memberikan sumbangan untuk peradaban dan perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan. Hari ini ada 1.000 juta (1 Milyar) Muslim lebih di dunia menerima Islam.
