Chapter 442: Muhammad

Muhammad (Latin), full name Muhammad. Root. Abdullah. Root. Abdul. Talib. Root. Hashem. Compared with the Chinese name with the surname, plus the character and the number and so on, it is indeed long enough.

And this extra-long name is not taken randomly, but has a meaning: the messenger and prophet of Allah, who is highly praised by good people. To put it bluntly, Muhammad saw himself as Allah's messenger and prophet walking on the earth.

To a certain extent, Muhammad is the same as those emperors in the history of the Celestial Empire, who always like to shamelessly seal themselves with a long list of lofty words as titles, and they like to engage in the trick of "being ordered by heaven".

Muhammad was a statesman, religious leader, and Islamic prophet recognized by Muslims. Many people believe that he is the last messenger of Allah to send to mankind. Among Muslims, Muhammad is popularly known as the "Prophet Muhammad".

Born in 570 A.D., he died on June 8, 632 A.D., at the age of 63, and was buried in Medina. For the average life expectancy of ancient people, it can be regarded as longevity.

The reason for this is simple: in the 6th and 7th centuries of history, the Arabian Peninsula was in a period of intense social upheaval and change. The contradictions between slave owners and slaves, between clans and tribes, and between the national Arab light cavalry were intricate, especially the centuries-long wars of aggression of the Byzantine, Persian and Abyssinian empires, which brought great disasters.

In the case of intertwined internal and external contradictions and social crises. Only by unifying the divided Arabian Peninsula can we resist foreign invasion and promote social, political, and economic development. It was against this socio-historical background that Islam arose, and it ignited the first "holy war" aimed at the unification of the Arabian Peninsula.

In 610 AD, Muhammad claimed to have received a revelation from Allah and began to spread the Islamic culture of truth. As a result, in the process of spreading, because it violated the interests of those upper classes, he was persecuted by the Meccan aristocracy.

In the beginning, in order to avoid heavy losses, Muhammad decided to move the believers to Medina in batches. It was 622 A.D. Muhammad also traveled to Medina. The spread of Islamic truth continued with the support of some local tribes.

At the same time, a truly Muslim state was established regardless of class, region, ethnicity or tribe, which was later called the Muslim Commune. At the same time, the Muslim armed forces were formed to confront the Meccan nobility by force. to defend the truth they preach.

The result was careless. This Muhammad embarked on a journey to unify the Arabian Peninsula.

Merely. In Lee's view, this foreign leader, who has left a strong mark in the history of Arabia and even in the world, has been portrayed as a pioneer in spreading the truth and culture of Islam. As well as the historical record of forced rebellion, it is all fart.

Because according to historical records, this Islamic prophet was illiterate at all. His father died before he was born, and his mother died when he was six years old. Muttalib and his uncle Abu. Talib was raised successively.

At the age of 12, he went out to do business with his uncle, and went to Syria, Palestine and other places, and had a deep understanding of the social conditions of the Arabian Peninsula at that time, the situation of polytheism, Judaism and Christianity, as well as the mountains, rivers, and customs of the two river basins.

At the age of twenty-five, he was hired by the wealthy widow Heticher of Mecca to do business for him, and soon married the rich widow Heticher, who was fifteen years older than him. And with such a life experience, Li Anran really can't see the slightest meaning to become the messenger of Allah and the prophet of Islam.

The most interesting thing is that Muhammad was able to receive a revelation from the Creator Allah through an angel in 610 A.D. and make him a messenger on earth to revive Islam. The reason for this is that he often goes to the Hila Cave on the outskirts of Mecca to meditate on the mysteries of the universe and the value of human existence.

For such a statement, Li Anran's first thought was that in the ancient Celestial Empire, those local heroes who suddenly changed from poor eggs to rich people, or high-ranking officials in the court who were incomparably honest on the surface, always liked to use the sentence "Night meeting gods and people to give money" to explain where their family wealth came from.

It's just that Li Anran has to admit that the front half of Muhammad's body does have the meaning of the protagonist of an online novel.

first died his father, then his mother, and then he grew up with his uncle, and finally married a rich widow who was fifteen years older than him.

What is a rich widow, that is, a rich widow?

Regardless of whether Muhammad did this voluntarily or forcedly, the fact that the Islamic prophet was able to marry him shows how "stoic" Muhammad's character was, in other words, the plot was great.

Even in Li Anran's view, the reason why Muhammad did not contact Allah until 610, that is, when he was forty years old, was probably because the rich widow, who was fifteen years older than him, had been inspired by the Lord to fly to heaven.

Then look at what the man who added himself as the messenger of Allah on earth and the prophet of Islam did by openly calling on the inhabitants of Mecca to renounce idolatry, submit to and fear Allah the One.

At the same time, he declared that Islam was the right path for mankind since ancient times, and that he himself was the last messenger sent by Allah. It then advocated the restriction of usury, the encouragement of fair buying and selling, the almsgiving of civilians, the kindness of orphans, the emancipation of slaves, the suppression of blood revenge, the achievement of peace and tranquility, and so on.

How, seeing this, do you feel that the things done by this messenger of Allah and the prophet of Islam are very similar to the things done by certain people and organizations at certain stages in the history of the Celestial Empire?

The difference is that some people and some organizations succeed, while most end up with a failure. Of course, I don't need to say more about who the most successful one is.

And in the end, this messenger of Allah on the ground and the prophet of Islam did unite the Arabian Peninsula in his own hands. At the same time, through the preaching of religion. The power has always been in his own hands.

Even after his death, this tradition was continued, otherwise there would not have been four caliphs (the political and religious leaders of Islam).

The reason why Li Anran felt that the so-called holy war led by this Muhammad was just to put a layer of providence on his own struggle to dominate the world, mainly because this person's behavior was completely different from that of the real messenger of God.

In Li Anran's view, the real messenger of God should be like Jesus.

They are called the supreme beings of the Son of God, and they are much higher than the messenger of God of Muhammad and the prophet of Islam.

The most important thing is that Jesus did walk the world and spread his teachings, but he did not follow the path of Muhammad, who "sold dog meat on the head of a sheep". Believe in the fame of Jesus at that time. All you need to do is climb and shout. There will certainly be no shortage of responders, but they haven't done that.

Some people may say that Christianity also engaged in holy wars in the later period. That's right, yes. But can that be the same?

At that time. Jesus is dead, okay. Or that he has left the world. The so-called jihad. It's just the work of careerists who want to use religion to consolidate their rights. In this respect, it is a bit of a divergence from Muhammad's actions.

Fortunately, Muhammad really wanted to spread the truth of Islam. Whether it is to dominate the world or not, it doesn't matter to Li Anran at all.

And this time, the reason why Abramo said Muhammad and said that Canaan, that is, the future head of the Palestinian side of the country, asked to see Li Anran, because this prophet of Islam and the messenger of Allah was about to call.

This was not surprising to him, given that Muhammad had conquered the Jewish city of Khaybar in May 628 A.D. The Jewish tribes in other regions were forced to surrender, thus relieving their worries. Subsequently, the Muslims began to expand their influence in the direction of Palestine and Syria.

In May 629, Muhammad sent his son Zid to lead a "great" army of 3,000 against Palestine. The two sides engaged in a battle at Muta near the Dead Sea, and as a result, the Muslim army was defeated.

However, this defeat did not discourage Muhammad, but through various diplomatic tricks, he deepened his contacts with the tribes of the Quartet and made him obedient. In addition, the method of sending envoys to the surrounding powers was adopted in order to strengthen friendly relations, with a view to stabilizing the Quartet and making full preparations for the attack on Mecca.

In the end, through a method similar to the "curve to save the country", the city of Mecca was first taken, and then gradually occupied various regions of the Arabian Peninsula, and finally completed the great cause of unifying the Arabian Peninsula.

Although, according to historical records, Muhammad sent his son Zid to lead a "great" army of 3,000 to conquer Palestine, and the result was defeat. But the problem is that the Palestinian monarch does not know how powerful his army will be. Coupled with the fact that Muhammad is indeed very strong now, it is strange not to worry.

Of course, this strength can only be placed on the side of the Arabian Peninsula, after all, even 3,000 people can be regarded as a large army, and the Tang Dynasty is often tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of troops fighting on the battlefield, so what is it called? Giant army?

According to Abramo, the lord of Canaan should have misunderstood himself who brought magical elixirs and rare treasures from Datang, and should have hugged a "big thick leg" from Datang.

And the Tang Dynasty in this era does have the international status of all countries coming to the dynasty. In addition, although Abramo did not say that his master was a true god, the meaning of his words also made the lord of Canaan misunderstand that he was an existence with great strength and could be his ally.

As for the "deception" incident that almost scared Abramo out before, it was just that the lord of Canaan did not say it so low when he said that he wanted to meet the "big thick legs" behind Abramo.

After Abramo further explained the whole story of the request for this meeting, Li Anran, who did not want to meddle in things, became interested in this Canaanite lord. However, it was Muhammad, the messenger of Allah and the prophet of Islam, who was really interested.

Li Anran, who had a bad taste for a while, was very eager to know what kind of reaction Muhammad would have when he found out that this "true god" had appeared. In other words, if he supports the lord of Canaan, what will be the result of the other party?

Thinking of this, Li Anran's face couldn't help but smile, and then said: "Abramo, about this meeting, I agreed." If the Lord of Canaan is interested, if not, you should be ready to ascend. ”

"Lord...... The owner ...... "After confirming that he didn't have a problem with his ears, Abramo was completely confused.

And on the side of the younger version of "Audrey. Hepburn and her sister were also scared to the point that someone had made a fool of them. Just kidding, what he said just now was a proper rebellion, and if the lord of the country heard it, it would be lucky to cut off his head directly. (To be continued......)
