With this revelation, Muhammad saw himself as a divinely inspired messenger of God following in the line of the great prophets of Judaism. In 613 he had a second revelation from Gabriel and Muhammad proclaimed that the Qur’an or Koran was the last book of God and that he was the last prophet
Sunna is All the traditions and practices of Muhammad that have become models to be followed by Muslims; the religious practices, morals and normal lifestyle of the Prophet that became a unifying bond for all parts of the Islamic umma.

Muhammad is the model for Muslims because Muhammad taught that submission to Allah was a religion for everyone, not just special people. He presented equality of race and gender. Islam should maintain God's equilibrium between the body and the soul, supporting a full enjoyment of all the good that God has created and at the same time fulfilling duties to God such as worship, fasting and charity. Muhammad not only passed on this message from Allah but also presented an example of how Muslim's should live their life if they are faithful.
