The Messenger - The meaning of the life of Muhammad/ Tariq Ramadan - Encounter with the Sacred

Islamic monotheism has always stood in continuity with the sacred history of prophethood. From the beginning, the One God sent humankind prophets and messengers entrusted with the message, the reminder of His presence, His commands, His love, and His hope. From Adam, the first prophet, to Muhammad, the last Messenger, Muslim tradition recognizes and identifies with the whole cycle of prophethood, ranging from the most famous messengers (Abraham, Noah, Moses, Jesus, etc.) to the lesser known, as well as others who remain unknown to us. The One has forever been accompanying us, His creation, from our beginnings to our end. This is the very meaning of tawhid (the Oneness of God) and of the Quranic formula that refers to humankind's destiny as well as to that of each individual: "To God we belong and to Him we return."
