My name is Haseeb and I'm a Muslim. Today is Mawlid al-Nabi, which means the birth of the prophet. And it's when we celebrate the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.These men and women, for example, are not praying for the harm of non-Muslims when they bend their knees in prayer—they are reminding themselves of the positive attributes of God.

A Muslim is blessed with the marvelous religion of Islam that is characterized by its ease, lenience and comprehensiveness, it caters to the needs of a human being, and provides the guidance in all the matters in life.

A’ishah also reported that once, when she went on a journey with the Prophet (SAW), she challenged him to a race, and won. Later, when she had gained weight, she raced him again, but this time he won, and told her, “this is for that.” [Sunan Abi Dawud 2578] This dual religious and social character of Islam, expressing itself in one way as a religious community commissioned by God to bring its own value system to the world through the jihād (“exertion,” commonly translated as “holy war” or “holy struggle”), explains the astonishing success of the early generations of Muslims.

The first and foremost rule of being a Muslim is believing in the one and only Allah (accent on the second syllable). Allah is the only God, the only Creator and the Almighty. He is the only one you should be doing your good deeds for and the only one who shall be worshipped. There should be nothing standing in His place. Allah's messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the messenger and the last Prophet who came down to Earth, and there will never be any prophets after him.
