      MOHAMMED
.
.
.
There is a land called Arabia. It is mostly desert with very little water , and a hot , unfavourable climate. In this difficult land there used to live savage tribes who were always at war with
one another. They were so savage and ignorant that they used to bury alive their
own daughters just because they were girls, and women were no more
than slaves in those days.
.
But no matter how cruel those people were , they were still God's children and had to be educated . So Mohammed , the Prophet of God, was born among them.
.
Mohammed was a simple man. he was in charge of a caravan, taking camel loads and goods from Arabia to sell in other lands. Most of the Manifestations of God were simple  people. Even those who , like Buddha , came from higher ranks in life , gave up their princely positions to live simple lives. God wants to show that it is His  wealth  and  His  influence that work through His Manifestations . When charged with the Power of God , even the humblest person becomes victorious over all the powers of the world.
.
One day when Mohammed was praying on a hill-top, He received inspiration from God. He
had not been to any school. He could not even write His own name, but from that hour
the verses of the Holy Quern were revealed through  Him. From  then  onwards ,
Mohammed was no longer a leader of a caravan. he was the Messenger of
God. He went to the people with His Message. At first nobody listened
to Him. When He insisted that they should stop worshiping the
idols they had built, and should believe in the One True
God, the people of Arabia rose against Him. They
called Him a mad man. They ridiculed Him as a
poor poet. but Mohammed  went about saying:
.
" O people , I am the Messenger of God . I have come to save you and to lead to the Path of Truth . "
