The final Prophet and Messenger of Allah, sent to all of humanity and the Jinn for all time. He is 'Rahmatan lil-'Alamin' (a Mercy to all the Worlds). His Sunnah (practices and sayings) are preserved with unprecedented precision. The Quran, revealed to him, is the final and perfectly preserved divine book. He is the most beloved of all creation to Allah. Sending prayers upon him (salawat) is an act of worship with immense reward. He will be the first to intercede on the Day of Judgement and will have the most followers of all Prophets. He is referred to as 'al-Nabiyy al-Ummiyy' (the unlettered Prophet), making the Quran's eloquence an even greater miracle. His character was described by his wife 'A'ishah: 'His character was the Quran.'
