What is the underlying theme of the quote: “The Muslims move heavenward through Muhammad, whereas the Christians receive their Lord in his earthward condescension, which later moves toward an ascension.”

But when applied to Muhammad, it became a special term that denoted the category of exemplary words, deeds, and gestures that were destined to be authoritative in the life of the umma. Thus, the Qur’an is an idea as well as a memory, and even more, it is ideal for Muslim be­havior. As such it is engrained in the lives of pious Muslims and handed down by example and personal teaching.

Islamic tradition records a deep and meaningful relationship, based on love and mutual respect. Fatima was Muhammad’s strongest and most faithful supporter, believing in his call to prophethood even before he did. She was the first convert to Islam and supported his ministry, even through times of persecution and starvation. During their twenty-five year marriage, Muhammad had no other wives.  Although he married a number of women after her death, he always upheld Fatima as an exemplary wife and Companion referring to her as one of the four perfect women in Islam. The honorific Companion refers to Muhammad’s male and female followers during his lifetime.

 Though Christians consider Jesus to be divine and human and the embodiment of God’s Word, Muslims respect and revere Jesus as a prophet (someone who receives a divine revelation intended to warn people) and a Messenger (a prophet guaranteed the success of the message); however, Muslims believe that Jesus, like Muhammad, is strictly a divine being.  

According to Islamic tradition, Muhammad was born in 570 CE in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, and was called to prophethood in 610 CE at the age of forty.  

The first substantial and carefully sifted collection of hadith was made by Malik Ibn Anas, who lived in Umayyad times and worked mostly in Medina. His name is given to the school of jurisprudence that he founded, the Mâliki school. Malik was a descendant of a companion of the Prophet and was in a good position to preserve authentic materials from Muhammad’s time. His greatest work is the Muwatta’ (“beaten path”), which contains traditions of the Prophet, legal decisions of the early Muslim jurists, and reports of the companions.

This hadith has two main parts. The first is the opening citation of the persons who transmitted it, called the matn, a documentation process meaning “prop, support, backing.” It is the chain of ascriptions by which a report is authenticated. Each link is a person who has been involved in its transmission. The second and main part of the hadith is called the isnad, the “main text.”
