The Tale of Prophet Uzair (Ezra) & Prophet Muhammad SAW in Islam Faith

Prophet Muhammad SAW (Arabic: محمد‎; c. 570 – 8 June 632), from Mecca, unified Arabia into a single religious polity under Islam. Believed by Muslims to be a prophet and messenger of God, Muhammad is almost universally considered by Muslims as the last prophet sent by God to mankind While non-Muslims generally regard Muhammad as the founder of Islam, Muslims consider him to have restored the unaltered original monotheistic faith of Adam, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and other prophets in Islam.

Muhammad was orphaned at an early age; he was raised under the care of his paternal uncle Abu Talib. After his childhood Muhammad primarily worked as a merchant. Occasionally he would retreat to a cave in the mountains for several nights of seclusion and prayer; later, at age 40, he reported at this spot, that he was visited by Angel Gabriel (Jbril) and received his first revelation from God. Three years after this event Muhammad started preaching these revelations publicly, proclaiming that “God is One”, that complete “surrender” (lit. islām) to Him is the only way (dīn) acceptable to God, and that he was a prophet and messenger of God, similar to other Islamic prophets.

Prophet Uzair (A.S.) was one of the Jewish prophets and his name had been mentioned once in the Holy Quran. The Jews called him Uzra. His father and mother lived in a region called Jerusalim and the Heaven granted them two twins sons. One was Uzair and the other was Uzrah. Both of them grew up beside each others till they reached the age of 30. After marriage, Uzair (A.S.) decided to take a trip. Therefore, he bade farewell to his relatives, and took with him some fig and fresh fruit juice to feed them. On the way, he arrived at a village which had been frightfully mixed up and destroyed and even the bones of its residents had been decayed. Upon seeing this frightful view, he deeply thought how God can revive the dead?! In fact, his question was not due to his denial but was due to his amazement. But suddenly,God took his soul and joined him amongest the dead. After 100 years, God brought him back to life and an angel appeared to him from God and asked Him: How long have you slept in the wilderness? He thought that he had slept for an hour and in his reply, he said: One day or less.

The angel told him: You had been here for 100 years and now, look at your food and drinking and see how they are safe and sound and faced no harm by the power of God. If you want to believe you had died, look at your donkey and see how God separated and scattered all its organs. And now, look very carefully how God collects all its organs and revives it again. When he saw the view, he said: I do know God has power over everything. Now, I got peace of mind and understand the issue of the Ressurection wholeheartily and my heart became full of faith.
