Short Biography of Prophet Muhammad ‫ﷺ‬

Prophet Muhammad ‫ ﷺ‬was born in Mecca (Makkah), Arabia, on Monday, 12 Rabi' Al-Awwal (2 August
A.D. 570). His mother, Aminah, was the daughter of Wahb Ibn Abdu Manaf of the Zahrah family. His father,
'Abdullah, was the son of Abdul Muttalib. His genealogy has been traced to the noble house of Ishmael, the
son of Prophet Abraham (Alaihiwasallam) in about the fortieth descend. Prophet Muhammad's ‫ ﷺ‬father
died before his birth. Before he was six years old his mother died, and the doubly orphaned Prophet
Muhammad ‫ ﷺ‬was put under the charge of his grandfather Abdul Muttalib who took the most tender care
of him. But the old chief died two years afterwards. On his deathbed he confided to his son Abu Talib the
charge of the little orphan.
He was most honorable and trustworthy since his childhood. He lived a moral life among the people of
Makkah whereas good manners and purity of morals were rare among those people. The fair character
and the honorable bearing of the unobtrusive youth won the approbation of the citizens of Mecca, and by
common consent he received the title of "Al Ameen," The Faithful.
When Prophet Muhammad ‫ ﷺ‬was twenty five years old, he married to Hazrat Khadijah (May Allah be
pleased with her) who is the first person in Islam who believed Prophet Muhammad ‫ ﷺ‬as the prophet
when he brought the message of Islam.
For years after his marriage, Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihiwasallam) had been accustomed to
secluding himself in a cave in Mount Hira, a few miles from Mecca. To this cave he used to go for prayer
and meditation, sometimes alone and sometime with his family. There, he often spent the whole nights in
deep thought and profound communion with the Unseen yet All-Knowing Allah of the Universe. It was
during one of those retirements and in the still hours of the night, when no human sympathy was near,
that an angel Jibril (Gabriel) came to him to tell him that he was the Messenger of Allah sent to reclaim a
fallen people to the knowledge and service of their Lord.

Islamic beliefs about Prophet Muhammad ‫ﷺ‬

♦ It is the basic requirement in Islam that to love Allah and Prophet Muhammad ‫ ﷺ‬more than all others. If
someone does not love Prophet Muhammad ‫ ﷺ‬more than others, then he will not be considered as a
faithful Muslim.
Prophet Muhammad ‫ ﷺ‬said "None of you will have faith till he loves me more than his father, his children
and all mankind."

You Must Know This Man Muhammad (pbuh) The Ideal Prophet

"Every Prophet of Allah came to this world as a witness, or aharbinger of good tidings, or as a warner, or as
a summonner, but never in the past there came a prophet who combined all these qualities. There were
witnesses to Allah's majesty and, overlordship, like Jacob, Issac and Ishmael. Others like Abraham and
Jesus were the heralds of glad tidings. There were also warners like Noah, Hud, and Shu'yeb, the main
point of their warnings was terrible punishment awating the evil-doers. Then, there were the prophets like
Joseph and Jonah whose teachings set the tone for those who summon to divine guidance. But the
messenger par excellence who had all these marks of prophethood - a witness as well as a welcomer, a
warner as well as a caller and who was a distinguished Apostle in every aspect was none other than Saidina
Muhammad (pbuh). He was sent to be sent to the world as the last Prophet, the final one, after whom no
other messenger was to be sent again by Allah. This is the reason why he was granted a shari'ah or the law
that was perfect and final requiring no revision in the days to come.

Some saying about prophet Muhammed (sal) by non-Muslim scholars such as Michael hart.
M.K. Ghandhi , Thomas calyle sir.benarb shaw and so on….

1. Michael Hart in "The 100, A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in the History," New York,
1978., p. 33
"My choice of Muhammad (pbuh) to lead the list of world's most influential persons may surprise
some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in the history who was
supremely successful on both the secular and religious level. It is probable that the relative
influence of Islam has been larger than the combined influence of Jesus Christ and St. Paul on
Christianity. It is this unparalleled combination of the secular and religious influence which I feel
entitles Muhammad (pbuh) to be considered to be the most influential single figure in human
history."

2. M.K Gandhi, statement published in "Young India," 1924

I wanted to know the best of the life of one who holds today an undisputed sway over the hearts of
millions of mankind..........I became more than ever convinced that it was not the sword that won a
place for Islam in those days in the scheme of life. It was the rigid simplicity, the utter self-
effacement of the Prophet, the scrupulous regard for pledges, his intense devotion to his friends
and followers, his intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute trust in God and his mission.
These and not the sword carried everything before them and surmounted every obstacle. When I
closed the second volume (of the Prophet's biography), I was sorry there was no more for me to
read of that great life."
