the prophet Mohamed is the leader of Muslims because Allah chose him for his good habits (tolerance ,merciful for oppresses ,strengh against unjust , respect women ,manumission slaves ,etc)
but the prophet Mohamed never been dominate lonely he taught humanity the consolation

about the Islamic history :
Islam was preached by an important verse in quran:
no force in the religion
so all nations converted to Islam were completely free

five pillars are :
the witness that (there is no god but Allah and Mohamed is the prophet of Allah
pray at 5 times in the day
zeka (a percentage from the money been given to poor men
fasting all the day in Ramadan (only if you can)
pilgrimage to mecca (if you can)

believing in Allah and his slave Mohamed is necessary to be Muslim
pray means in Arabic the relation this relation is very important to be sure you are in the way
the zekah is .025 of the annual income only if your fortune more than 80 grams of gold
fasting in Ramadan is for learn the Patience and to feel like poor hungriest to be more merciful
programing is an Islamic trip to the birth place of Islam to know more and be forgiven by the god

Islam is just one dictatorship religion...the worst of all religions.

Muhammad was only an intelligent leader who knew how to manipulate the ignorance of the Bedwins ( The Arab Nomads) and only ruled by the power of the sword. He was more of a political leader. gathered people under the Name of one God.

We learn that any dictatorship is a failure in many domains, you can see what's happening to the islamic world nowadays!

The five pillars don't strengthen anything, it just a chain on the neck of muslims, something to keep them under control.

A frank answer!

1.Muhammad pbuh was an effective political,commander in chief and religious leader because he had the best character.His character was the same with the willingness of God as stated in the holy Qur'an.He was so dicipline.He obeyed to all of the prohibitions and instructions of God those are stated in the Qur'an.He was so entrusted man.He was never tell a lie.He was very wise and had many wisdoms.He conveyed the religion without force and he was so patient.He treated well all people who came to him.He was a best husband who loved his wives and children.He helped others who needed help.He freed slavery and treated and respected women tenderly..He loved God very much aAtough he had no sin.,he always asked for God's forgiveness.
2.From his historical way of life we can learn his best behaviour and we should try hard to follow him as the best example of muslim,leader and husband.We can follow him for treating well our enemy,control our desires,and hard doing without forget the role of God any time and any where.
3.We muslims should know well and practise the 5 pillars of Islam in everyday lives e.g 1)remind our syahadat that there is no other God except Allah and Muhammad pbuh as the last prophet and messenger of Allah2)we muslims should pray compulsory praying on time at least 5 times in 24 hours.
Praying focusly will avoid us to do bad doings.3)we muslims should pay zakat or islamic taxes in the right amount and right time for helping the poor,orphans and others who need help.4)we muslims should do compulsary fasting during ramadhan as a training center for a better controling desires or lusts and for a better social feeling in helping and loving others and 5)we muslims should pay a haj pilgrimage at least once during our lives if we have enough money and healthy and no other thing will hamper us.By doing the 5 pillars of Islam we can strengthen our faith and make a better muslim community.We muslims should work hard for searching livelihood given by Allah because we should pay zalat and go to the sacred places in Medina,Mecca,Mina and Arafa..Mus
lims should have well education and should be rich.But all muslims should remind that part in their incomes are the right of other people who need help so we should pay zakat.

No offense to any Muslims but I believe Islam is the most demanding of all religions. It exploits every form of the human mind to listen to their superior. Read up on hasshassins if you want to understand my way of thinking (hasshassins are what we modern people view as assassins). Islam is the religion by the sword because that killed everyone that didn't believe in their religion. I don't know about you but that seems too harsh. I'm not sure if all Islamic forms are like that but to my knowledge that is how it began. Zoroastrianism was destroyed to Islam because of the brutal way of spreading Islam. No one should be prosecuted to what they believe no matter what it is.

Muhammad married a 6 year old girl when Muhammad was 53. By fooling many people into thinking such a man was a prophet, Satan has elevated one of his own and caused problems for humanity.
Wake up and smell the jihad...

It is interesting that Mohammed was a Traveling Salesman in his early years and became quite a good salesman.. He learned the trade from his Grandfather who was also quite a good salesman. Mohammed met his first wife who was 12 or 15 years his senior and quite well off. This is how he got his financial footing to make his beginning moves.
