Muḥammad bin ʿAbd Allāh bin ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib bin Hāshim (Arabic: مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ ٱللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ ٱلْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ; c. 570 – 8 June 632 CE) is believed to be the seal of the messengers and prophets of God in all the main branches of Islam. Muslims believe that the Quran, the central religious text of Islam, was revealed to Muhammad by God, and that Muhammad was sent to restore Islam, which they believe did not originate with Muhammad but is the true unaltered original monotheistic faith of Adam, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and other prophets. The religious, social, and political tenets that Muhammad established with the Quran became the foundation of Islam and the Muslim world.
محمد
أَبُو القَاسِم مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ ٱللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ ٱلْمُطَّلِبِ (12 ربيع الأول 53 ق هـ - 12 ربيع الأول 11 هـ) (22 أبريل 571 - 8 يونيو 632)؛ هو رسول الله إلى الإنس والجن في الإسلام؛ أُرسِل ليُعيد العالَمين إلى توحيد الله وعبادته شأنه شأن كل الأنبياء والمُرسَلين، وهو خاتمهم، وأُرسِل للنَّاس كافَّة، ويؤمن المسلمون بأنّه أشرف المخلوقات وسيّد البشر، ويعتقدون فيه العِصمة. عند ذكر اسمه، يُلحِق المسلمون عبارة «صلى الله عليه وسلم» مع إضافة «وآله» و«وصحبه» في بعض الأحيان، لِمَا جاء في القرآن والسنة النبوية مما يحثهم على الصلاة عليه. ترك النبي محمد أثرًا كبيرًا في نفوس المسلمين، وكثرت مظاهر محبّتهم وتعظيمهم له باتباعهم لأمره وأسلوب حياته وتعبده لله، وقيامهم بحفظ أقواله وأفعاله وصفاته وجمع ذلك في كتب عُرفت بكتب السّيرة والحديث النبوي، واحتفالهم بمولده في شهر ربيع الأول في كل عام. وحد محمد الجزيرة العربية في نظام حكم إسلامي واحد، حيث شكل القرآن وتعاليمه وممارساته أساس حكم الدولة. اعتبره الكاتب اليهودي مايكل هارت أعظم الشخصيّات أثرًا في تاريخ الإنسانية كلّها باعتباره «الإنسان الوحيد في التاريخ الذي نجح نجاحًا مطلقًا على المستوى الديني والدنيوي».
The artist Raffaele Ciotola was born in Naples on the 17th of October 1964. His loving and receptive family promoted his studies and supported supporting his artistic nature. He obtained the Artistic High School School graduation and got the Master of Arts degree at the state institute of Arts "Filippo Palizzi" in Naples in 1983. Since he was a boy he has been devoting his life to painting in a professional manner; after his debut in 1980 at an exhibition in his hometown, he kept on taking part in other collective and personal exhibitions set up in several Italian cities until 2002 (Piano di Sorrento, St. Anne in Naples, Milano, Viterbo, Milan). He was awarded the gold medal at the National Biennial of Sacred Art in Torre del Greco in 1980 by prof. Mr Franco Girosi, a famous Neaolitan artist of the last century. It was foundamental for his training, the meetings with prof. Mr Franco Girosi and with Mr Luigi Signore, an artist known as one of the best sculptors of cribs in Italy today.
He studied music and attended the voice class at the Conservatory of Naples, but the meeting he had in Rome in 1987 with Master Mr Renato Guelfi, opera singer and painter, was so crucial to his professional growth that he started performing as a singer in some Italian theatres (Lecce, Santa Maria di Leuca, Ronciglione, Villa Pignatelli in Naples). He got to obtained some rewards such as: the gold medal in "La Triade" Prize, Palazzo Sormani - Sala del Grechetto - Milano; the diploma of honor at St. Anastasia, Naples. His personal exhibition in Tuscia dates back to 2002 , in this occasion he exhibited for the first time at the Sala Anselmi in Viterbo. His painting style and production are characterized by an intense use of colours and by the chiaroscuro effects conveying a whole creative freedom and a boundless vital energy, without hiding any strong and eloquent emotion, leaving the viewer a hope, a light , the one that leads beyond any solitude and that blurs roles and social conventions.
So his landscapes and his dreamlike hermetic metaphysical views of the first period, they have been gradually replaced by works full of reflection and judgment which are well received by public and by critics, attracting the attention of Mr Jean-Louis Cougnon, Chief Excecutive at General Managment of European Parliament.
* The work of art "Italy against racism" dedicated to the fight against "racism" which was appreciated by correspondence by the President of the Italian Republic Sergio Mattarella.
