I think you all know Prophet Muhammad. He was a prophet (nabi). When he was 23 years old, the first revelation came to him at Mount Hira. It started with:
"اِقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ"

This means "Read in the name of your Lord who created." Prophet Muhammad had excellent character. He prayed, read the Quran, and was honest.
Now, here is a question: How can we feel closer to Prophet Muhammad?
We can feel closer to him by reading the Quran, helping orphans, following his Sunnah, and sending Salawat on him. How do we say Salawat?
"اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى سَيِّدِناَ مُحَمَّدِ النَّبِيِّ الْأُمِّيِّ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلِّمْ"
This means: "O Allah send your blessing on Muhammed and his family
Another question is: Would you want to live in Muhammad's time?
Yes, I would, because I would love to meet him.
Lastly, if you could see Prophet Muhammad, what would you ask him?
I would ask him: "How does it feel to be a prophet?"
Allah sent our Prophet as a guide for all of humanity. If we do not follow the Prophet, we will fail the test. We must read the life of our Prophet and learn from his path.
