God sent him to deliver Divine Code to mankind. Muhammad was a Messenger of God. Prophet began preaching the truth in 610 CE. Prophet said God exists and Heaven and Hell also exist. If you reject this you will have terrible regrets. Prophet said God created the Universe and all things in it. God is creator is all life and matter. God has revealed these truths in His own perfect book the Holy Koran. God has shown people the right path and He has given choice to people to accept or reject it. Prophet said you will all one day die and return to God. He will then judge you. If you accept God and live an honest life, you will go to Heaven. If you do evil things to others and you reject God, then you will be punished in Hell.
Prophet taught pure and complete monotheism. God is absolutely one. There is no other god nor is there any equal to God. God has no partners. God is perfect, all powerful, all knowing and just. God created life and death. Life is a test and we are all being examined. God is watching what we do. This short and temporary life on earth is not all that there is. There is another life which comes after death. The soul is taken out of the body at the time of death. It does back to God to await judgement. One day, all humans will be resurrected. Then there will be a never ending life. People will be judged on their actions which they had committed during this life on Earth. What each man and woman had done will be shown to them.
Prophet urged people that they ought to submit to God and then live a good and honourable life. You should all live according to the Divine Law. You should love God your Creator. Prophet said that you must act justly. You must live an honest life. Do not be a hypocrite. Practice what you preach. Be trustworthy and keep all the promises. Do not commit adultery. Do not do shameless lewd acts. Do not kill innocent people. Do not worship false idols. Do not obey satan’s whispers. Do not fall into satanic temptations. Repent and turn to god. Only law is God’s Supreme Law. If you do these things, only then will you be saved. Otherwise, be warned that if accept sinners as your authorities, and you reject God and follow false paths and obey evil ones and do wrong, then you be judged by God, and you will have no friend on that day; and you will suffer eternally in the fire of Hell. This message was accepted by people of his time. People who think about important things see the truth in the teachings of the Holy Prophet.

Fatima is Light of God and His Messenger’s Heart.
Life in Brief:
Fatima is the Centre of the Holy Family. In the Holy Quran, God revealed the verse of Perfect Purification for Fatima, her husband and her sons. The 13 wives of the Prophet are excluded from the Status of Infallibility. “O People of the Holy House, God only wishes to keep away from you all evil and to keep you perfectly pure and clean.”
Loving Fatima is the true gratitude to God for the Guidance which He has provided. God told Muhammad to say: “I ask you no wage except to love my nearests.”
God revealed in the Holy Quran Surah Al Kawther in Honour of Fatima. God gave Abundant Good to Muhammad in the form of Fatima. Prophet knew of Al Zahra’s glory before the Lord. Whenever Fatima came to visit her father, the Holy Prophet, he would rise up and stand to receive his daughter. The Holy Prophet said, "Fatima is a piece of my heart".
Fatima is called the Lady of Light. She was called Al Zahra [Shining One] because her light used to shine among those in Heaven. Hadith tell us that, in form of a human Fatima is the Heavenly Woman.
Fatima’s mother Lady Khadija says:
“At the time of Fatima’s birth, I requested women of Koraishi tribe to come and help. They refused because I supported the Messenger of God. As my birth pains grew, to my great surprise, I sighted four strange tall women with halos around them, approaching me. One of them said to me "O Khadija, I am Sarah, the mother of Ishaq, and the other three are, Mary the mother of Christ, Asiya the daughter of Muzahim, and Umm Kalsoom, the sister of Moses. We have all been commanded by God to put our nursing knowledge at your disposal." Saying this, all of them sat around me and rendered the services of midwifery till my daughter Fatimah was born.”
Prophet Muhammad said,
“God is pleased when Fatima is pleased. God is angry when Fatima is angry.”
Prophet also said,
“Fatima is the Leader of Women of Paradise.”
Messenger of God warned,
“Fatima is part of me. Whoever hurts her hurts me.”
In her earth life, Fatima was very generous. No beggar who came to her door went away empty handed. Many a times she gave away all her food staying hungry herself. Fatima was the Perfect wife who loved her husband and never gave him any problem. She was very devoted to Imam Ali. Fatima never asked Ali for anything in her whole life. Ali used to ask Fatima to ask him for things. Fatima she was very happy that Ali was her husband. Fatima was tall, slender and beautiful. She married at the age of 17 and died when she was only 28. She gave birth to 11 Holy Guides of Humanity, the Divine Imams.
The death of her father Mohammad affected Fatima very much. She was sad and mourned her father’s departure from this world. But her suffering increased. She received ill treatment by the government. They confiscated her father properties. She asked for her right of the inheritance of her father’s lands. They flatly refused. The famous land of Fadak was denied to Fatima. They told Fatima that she has no right to her father’s properties. Fatima became angry. She could have brought down the Angels to destroy them immediately. But she did not choose to do that. Rather, Fatima asked her Lord to judge them for the wrong they had done to her and her family. When her husband Ali refused to recognise the new rulers, he was threatened by them. Fatima’s house was besieged by the security agents. It was set on fire. They broke in. Fatima was pushed. She fell behind the burning door. When he husband Ali tried to defend her, he was arrested. They bound Ali with ropes and took him away. He was forced to accept the new leadership. He came home. Fatima was crying. She was severely injured in the attack on her home. She had a miscarriage. Her unborn son Mohsin died. Fatima passed away two months later because of her wounds. She asked Ali to not allow her enemies to take part in her funeral. To prevent them, she asked Ali to bury her secretly at night. Ali carried out the last wishes of his wife. No one knows her grave to this day.

Life in Brief:
Imam Al Mahdi is due to return to Earth when God gives him that order. He and Jesus will be told by God to go and establish the Divine Law upon the Earth. Imam Mahdi is the last of the Twelve Imams whose coming was foretold by Prophet Muhammad. Jesus will serve Mahdi.
The Imam will be opposed by Dajjal, a horrible but very clever creature who is known as the one eyed monster. The creature will terminate many innocent people. However, Imam will win. Dajjal will be destroyed. The Terminator will be terminated. Those people who would side with the creature will also be killed. Then will begin on Earth the Divine reign of peace and happiness.
The Messenger of God prophesied the coming of 12 Divine Leaders:
The Prophet said, “After me there will be Twelve Caliphs.”
The Prophet told Jabir names of the twelve leaders:
“O Jabir, they are my twelve successors who will come after me. First of them will be Ali, then Hasan, Husayn, Ali ibn Husayn, Muhammad bin Ali, whom you will meet, say my salam to him, after him Jafar ibn Muhammad, then Musa ibn Jafar, Ali ibn Musa, Muhammad ibn Ali, Ali ibn Muhammad, Hasan ibn Ali and lastly Muhammad al Qaim.”
Prophet said,
“After me will come Twelve religious leaders, all of whom will be from my tribe of Koraish.”
The Twelve Imams are these sacred personalities and spiritual leaders about whom the Holy Prophet had prophesied. Prophet pointed them out as the source and means of guidance for mankind. Twelve Imams provide security for the Earth.
The Holy Prophet said,
“This World shall remain so long as my Twelve successors govern it.”
