Prophet Muhammad
(571-632), founder of Islam, born in Mecca. He belonged to the clan of Hashim, a branch of
the influential tribe of Quraysh. Orphaned as a small child, he was brought
up by his uncle Abu Talib. Like his fellow tribesmen, he became a trader. He
married Khadija, a rich widow.
Muhammad periodically withdrew to a cave outside Mecca to meditate and pray
for guidance. During one of these retreats he reported experiencing a vision
of the archangel Gabriel, who proclaimed him a prophet of God. He began to
preach in public, reciting the verses of his revelation, which came to be
known as the Qura'an. Muhammad's earliest teachings emphasized his belief in
one transcendent but personal God, the Last Judgment, and social and
economic justice.
Read All About Prophet Muhammad
The Qura'an,
sacred
scripture of Islam. Muhammad applied the name to individual revelations that
he received from Allah. The name was later used for the book
containing the divine revelations given to Muhammad. Recorded by secretaries
and memorized by his followers, the collection was compiled shortly after
Muhammad's death in 632. Arabic scholars produced an authorized version in
the early 650s. The earliest known work in Arabic prose, the Qura'an consists
of 114 suras (chapters) and contains the Islamic religious, social, civil,
commercial, military, and legal codes. The chief doctrines in the Qura'an are
that only one God and one true religion exist; all will undergo final
judgment; and when humankind turned from truth, God sent prophets to lead
the way back. Accepted by Muslims as the utterance of the Almighty, the
Qura'an is held to be above criticism. Copies of the book are treated with
great reverence.

Dua’a for seeking forgiveness
In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
O' Allah! I ask You as all the praise belongs to You. There is no
lord other than You, You are the one to bestow favours. You are the
possessor of Honour and Majesty for the Heavens and the Earth. I am poor
and indigent repent and seek forgiveness. O' Allah send blessings on
Mohammad and his progeny and forgive all my sins whether they are old or
new. All those sins which I have performed. O' Allah don’t make my
problems, difficult for me and don’t give my enemies an opportunity to
mock at me because there is no one other than You to ward off the
difficulties and ease the hardships.
O' Allah forgive my sins of which You are aware and if I repeat it then
forgive me again. O' Allah! I couldn’t get an opportunity to fulfill the
covenants done against my evil deeds, forgive these sins too. O' Allah
forgive the sins done by the action of eyes, mistake of the lips,
negligence of the heart and by the movement of the tongue.
