Who Is the prophet Mohammed -peace be upon him-?

Mohammed -Peace and Blessings of God be upon him- was born in Makkah in the year 570 C.E.

Since his father died before his birth and his mother died shortly thereafter, he was raised by his Grandfather and then his uncle who were from the respected Arab tribe of Quraysh.

He was raised illiterate, unable to read or write, and remained so till his death. The Arabs in that time were not the most civilized. His people, before his mission as a prophet, were ignorant of science and most of them were illiterate.

As he grew up, he became known to be truthful, honest, trustworthy, generous, and sincere. He was so trustworthy that they called him Al-Ameen (In Arabic, which means the Trustworthy).

Mohammed was a Unitarian, and he had long detested the decadence and idolatry of his society.

At the age of forty, Mohammed received his first revelation from God Almighty through the Angel Gabriel. Mohammed was the last prophet sent by the God Almighty. while many prophets were sent before him to many nations, he was the only one sent to the whole of mankind.

The first word revealed to him was "Read" (or Recite) which meant that this religion is based on knowledge.

The revelations continued for twenty-three years, and they are collectively known as the Qur'an. the Qur'an isn't a book. it's the message brought by the prophet Mohammed -peace be upon him-.

As soon as he began to recite the Qur'an and to preach the truth which God had revealed to him, he and his small group of followers suffered persecution from the unbelievers of Makkah.

The persecution grew so fierce and bitter that in the year 622 the God gave them the command to emigrate.

This emigration from Makkah to the city of Madinah, some 260 miles to the north, marks the beginning of the Muslim calendar. today we are in the year 1434 A.H

After several years, Mohammed and his followers were able to return to Makkah, where they forgave their enemies.

Before Mohammed died, at the age of sixty-three, the greater part of the Arabian Peninsula had become Muslim, and within a century of his death, Islam had spread to Spain in the West and as far East as China.

Among the reasons for the rapid and peaceful spread of Islam was the truth and clarity of its doctrine.

Islam calls for faith in only one God, Who is the only one worthy of worship.

The Prophet Mohammed -peace be upon him- was a perfect example of an honest, just, merciful, compassionate, truthful, and brave human being. Though he was a man, he was far removed from all evil characteristics and strove solely for the sake of God and His reward in the Hereafter. Moreover, in all his actions and dealings, he was ever mindful and fearful of the God.

Muslims regard the prophet Mohammed -peace be upon him- as a role model, a guide and a teacher.
