Prophet Muhammad SAW

Muhammad ibn Abdullah was an Arab religious, social, and political leader and the founder of
the world religion of Islam. He is believed to be the final prophet of God. Muhammad united Arabia into a
single Muslim polity, with the Quran as well as his teachings and practices forming the basis of Islamic
religious belief.
Muhammad was born approximately 570 CE in Mecca. He was the son of Abdullah ibn Abd al-
Muttalib and Amina bint Wahb. His father Abdullah was the son of Quraysh tribal leader Abd al-Muttalib ibn
Hashim, and he died a few months before Muhammad's birth. His mother Amina died when he was six,
leaving Muhammad an orphan. He was raised under the care of his grandfather, Abd al-Muttalib, and paternal
uncle, Abu Talib. In later years, he would periodically seclude himself in a mountain cave named Hira for
several nights of prayer. When he was 40, Muhammad reported being visited by Gabriel in the cave and
receiving his first revelation from God. In 613, Muhammad started preaching these revelations
publicly, proclaiming that "God is One”.
Muhammad is a prophet and messenger of God, similar to the other prophets in Islam. Prophet
Muhammad was sent to bring grace to all nature. So that all beings must imitate all aspects of the prophet's
life.
