The First Muhammad

There is Muhammad and the nature of islam in the Fatihah.

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَۙ

الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِۙ

مٰلِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّيْنِۗ

اِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَاِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِيْنُۗ

اِهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيْمَ ۙ

صِرَاطَ الَّذِيْنَ اَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ ەۙ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوْبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّاۤلِّيْنَ

In the Qur'an which contains 6348 verses, the word مُحَمَّدٌ (Muhammad) only appears 4 times, only in 4 verses. The first word مُحَمَّدٌ is in Surah 3 / Ali Imran verse 144. The second word مُحَمَّدٌ is in Surah 33 / Al-Ahzaab verse 40. The third word مُحَمَّدٌ is in Surah 47 / Muhammad verse 2. And, the fourth word مُحَمَّدٌ is in Surah 48 / Al-Fath verse 29. Through the study of each verse that explains each other, I obtain the following interactions:

And the manifestation in life is as follows:

So, there was Muhammad with flesh and blood, born of Abdullah and Siti Aminah couple; There was Muhammad, a figure created by religious elites with their dogma and doctrine as the Prophet / Apostle Muhammad, through what are called as hadiths, and even culted by following the "sunnah" of his physical appearance. Though there is also a prohibition on visualizing him. He can only be visualized in the form of his name in a center of a light. So, even here the contradictions of teachings are found. Following the "sunnah" of his physical appearance is not actually found in the Qur'an.

The true Muhammad existed long before the birth of Muhammad bin Abdullah, even before the existence of the first human. The first and foremost Muhammad is Nur Muhammad, the second Light. The first Light after the Light above Light, the Source of all Sources of Existence and Energy: Allah.

Thus, the First Muhammad is the Nur Muhammad who is actually existing in every human Self, whoever he/she is. Nur Muhammad is the divine potential that exists in every human Self to develop its personal Self, with the nature of God who is rahman and rahim (the first and the third verses of Fatihah) and because of Allah, to sustain the worlds: natural environment and the universe.

What is "hamdu"? The meaning of the word hamdu consists of the same root word as muhammad, namely ح (ha), م(mim) and د(dal). and can be understood from the context that connects Allah and Rabb. So, hamdu is a dzahir design or real application.

A verse of the Qur'an will indeed be very shallow if only interpreted in the language 'ajam (the language of a nation), because it will be trapped in the meaning of the nation's culture. Though the Qur'an is a holy book of universal value, arranged in Rabb. Valid anywhere, anytime, and for anyone. So, not by translating it but transliterating (iqra') it, learning it by heart.

Al-Qur'an in the form of the book with sheets of paper was not the main one. The primary Qur'an is the human Self and the Universe. And even, the Human Self is a miniature or resume of the Universe. Every human being is a muhammad, that is, the person who has compiled him/herself. If, and only if that person is able to awake the Nur Muhammad of him/herself.
