The only way forward is to look back in history. Our whole religion is based on what was revealed 1400 years ago. But this was not the begining, this was the edited, final and complete way. The begining was with the first creation of man - Adam (Alayhi salam). Man came to know his Lord and from there the message spread all the way to present times......
Allah chose particular people to carry this message. He, subhana wa ta'ala looks into the hearts and knows which one would be succesful in carrying that message. Allah knows which one of His servants would be willing to bear the burden of spreading the concept of One God. He knows which of His servants would leave an impact on generations to come. These are special chosen people, these are the Messengers and prophets of Allah.
I have been looking to choose a prophet to discuss. I could very easily go with the best of all to walk earth - the final Messenger of Allah (salallahu alayhi wa sallam), but his seerah is so vast and i am still in process of studying his life indepth. So insha'Allah i wish to cover the seerah in the future. For now i want to zoom into the lives of some of the prophets. We cannot truly comprehend what these giants of men did for us. The struggles they went through, the sacrifices they made. I really won't be able to do justice, neither can i truly depict their lives, but God willing i will try to relate some stories in hope of deriving some lessons for us all.
Our history begins with Allah informing the angels
"Verily, I am going to place a vicegerent on earth......"
