*Roles of Muhammad in Islam* 1. Muhammad *advocated for monotheism* that is, worshiping of one God called *Allah*. He constantly reminded Muslims to *have faith in Allah* and he also wrote in the Quran, the objective of every Muslim to worship *Allah*. The fact that he surely advocates for monotheism can be shown when he *destroyed idols in Medina*. In the 1st pillar of Islam ( *Shahada* ), the declaration stated that " *Allah is the only God*" , meaning *no other gods* must be worshipped except *Allah*. 2. Muhammad also functions as an *intermediator*. He helps Muslims much whenever they *felt they are far away from Allah*. He could meditate for them. In other words, he stood as a person *who mend their relationship with Allah*. In most cases, he could acted as an intermediator for those *who get stumbled in the faith of Allah*. 3. Muhammad also *functions as the voice of the voiceless.*. Muhammad become the shelter for those who have been *denied justice by their rulers.* He repeatedly *encouraged fair justice* among Muslims. In some way, Muhammad *bared injustice* in the societies. He always stood for those who have *oppressed, abused, tortured or even faced any unfair circumstance* .
