It began with one man.

You know, to be honest, it took me quite some time to appreciate how significant a man is Rasulullah s.a.w. When I became a Muslim, it is easy for me to take Allah as my God and though I did believe that Rasulullah is indeed His messenger, I just couldn't appreciate him because I guess it was because I didn't really know him that well. 

Alhamdulillah, I understand it now although it took me years to get to this point. So now let me tell you what I love about Muhammad, our Prophet s.a.w. (say 'sollallahu alayhi wassalam')

One, he is the best of all Muslims. He was kind to children, orphans, women, neighbours, pretty much everyone. He never lied, dependable and simply said, for us women, he's pretty much the guy of our dreams.

Two, he manage to bring forth the qaedah sulbah, or a flock of firm foundation of Muslims. If he did not start doing da'wah after he was approached by the angel, Jibril back then, we wouldn't be standing here as Muslims today. Nay. 

If I were to list down everything, I still do not think that it will do any justice to the essence of a Muslim like our Prophet Muhammad s.a.w was. But it is important for us to remember that he, was a man, like us. Allah did not create His messenger from other than our own kind so that we can ponder and reflect, and appreciate his perseverance and strength, until Islam is able to be known by almost everyone on this earth.
