أمك ثم أمك ثم أمك ثم أبوك "Michael Phelps"

Michael Phelps won his historic eighth gold medals out of 8 races, With 14 in total, Phelps now stands alone in sports history with the most Olympic gold medals. He did what NO man on earth has done before. The thing that amazed me is his mother. After every race he wins, he just looks at her and smiles. My title, one of our prophets’ saying, “Your Mother,,,,, Your Mother ,,,,,, Your Mother ,,,,,, Your Father".

A guy came to the prophet and asked him, whom one should love, respect and be their friend the most? The Prophet said, “Your mother" they guy asked then whom? The prophet replayed "then your mother" and he asked again and the answer was "then your mother" after repeating the question 3 times the prophet said “then your father.”

We have lots of things in our religion about mothers and fathers and its always saying the mother first. My mom used to tell me look at the successful people you will find most of them good to their mothers. If your mother is happy and if you’re going to do something that your mother will be proud of, god will help you doing this just for your mother. Michael Phelps is a great example.
He made history, and every time he is doing it the 1st one to look at, his mother.




I love you mom and I hope you’re proud of me being here in Canada and trying 2 get my masters
I wish I can put your head up in the sky just like Michael did with his mom.

Mohammed peace be upon him

I wrote this peace to my final essay but my teacher told me that it had nothing to do with my subject. So it took me a long time to write and I’m a Muslim and anything about my religion I think it’s my duty to talk about and tell the story of and explain.

"He was Caesar and Pope in one; but he was Pope without Pope's pretensions, Caesar without the legions of Caesar: without a standing army, without a bodyguard, without a palace, without a fixed revenue. If ever any man had the right to say that he ruled by the right divine, it was Mohammad, for he had all the power without its instruments and without its supports".

"My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular level".

“How could naked men, riding without armor or shield, have been able to win … and bring low the proud spirit of the Persians?” This question was asked by a monk called John Bar Penkaye, he was working on a summary of the world history in the 680s, and he was musing about the Arab conquest of the Middle East, he was further struck that only a short period before the entire world was handed over to the Arabs.


Those are quotes form books I looked at when I was doing my research; as you can see the names, they are not Muslims. This is the reason I quoted them.

It started in Mecca, The Arabian Peninsula. Muhammad (Peace Be upon Him) was born in 570 A.D. Like most of the people of that era, he was not educated (he could not read or write). On the age of 40, Muhammad begins to receive divine revelations (Words of God) through Gabriel. This was the Quran which guides the Muslims until this day. Other sources that guide the Muslims are Hadith & Sunna. Hadith is a separate compilation of Prophet Muhammad other sayings (other than Quran), and the Sunna is a compilation of his actions. The prophet is 63 years old, and he is performing Hajj. And he gives his will known speech in front of 100,000 Muslims “The Farewell Sermon” he starts by saying “I might not see you after this year” and he says “You would be asked about me (on the Day of Resurrection), (now tell me) what would you say? They (the audience) said, “We will bear witness that you have conveyed the message, discharged the ministry of Prophethood and given wise and sincere counsel.” He then raised his forefinger towards the sky and pointing it at the people and said, “O Allah, be witness. O Allah, be witness”. On that very day the following ayah was revealed where Allah says, “Today I have completed your religion for you, and I have perfected my favor on you, and I am satisfied with Islam as a religion for you” Gods’ words.

This was the completion of the religion. Now Muslims will continue what the prophet was starting to do. Before the prophet dies he was getting ready to send Muslims tribe to Persia. He died before sending them, so the new Khalefa Abu-Bakr carried on with what the prophet started and the Muslims started to conquer the world.
