Assalamualikum,
Prophet Muhammad(SAS) was born to Abdul Muttalib or Abd
al-Muttalib (son of Shaiba ibn Hashim) and Aminah bint Wahb..He was
born on 26 April 570 in Makkah, Arabia. He lived for 62 years. He
died on 8 June 632 in Yathrib, Arabia, died due to Illness (high
fever). He was the founder of the religion of Islam and is
considered as a last Prophet of Almighty Allah(SWT).He was orphaned
at an early age & brought up under the care of his uncle Abu
Talib. He later worked mostly as a merchant, as well as a shepherd,
and was first married by age 25. Discontented with life in Makkah,
he retreated to a cave in the surrounding mountains for meditation
and reflection According to Islamic beliefs it was here, at age 40,
in the month of Ramadan, where he received his first revelation
from God. Three years after this event Muhammad started preaching
these revelations publicly, proclaiming that "God is One", that
complete surrender to Him (lit. Islam) is the only way acceptable
to God, and that he himself was a prophet and messenger of God, in
the same way as other Islamic Prophets.
Muhammad gained a few follower early on, and was met with
hostility from some meccan tribes; he and his followers were
treated harshly. To escape persecution, Muhammad sent some of his
followers to Abyssinia before he and his remaining followers
migrated to Madina (then known as Yathrib) in the year 622. This
event, the Hijra, marks the beginning of the Islamic Calendar,
which is also known as the hijri calendar. In Madina, Muhammad
united the conflicting tribes, and after eight years of fighting
with Meccan tribes , his followers, who by then had grown to
10,000, conquered Makkah from his farewell pilgrimage, Muhammad
fell ill and died. By the time of his death, most of the Arabian
Peninsula had converted to Islam, and he had united the tribes of
Arabia into a single Muslim religious polity.
The revelation (or Ayah, lit. 'Signs of God')--which Muhammad
reportedly receiving until his death form the verses of the Quran ,
regarded by the Muslims as the "Word of God" and around which the
religion is based. Besides the Qu'ran, Muhammad's life (sira) and
traditions (sunnah) are also upheld by Muslims. They discuss
Muhammad and other Prophets of Islam with reverence, adding the
phrase 'peace be upon him' whenever their names are mentioned.
While conceptions of Muhammad in medieval Christendom and premodern
times were largely negative, appraisals in modern history have been
far less so. His life and deeds have been debated and critized by
followers and opponents over the centuries but the first to believe
Prophet was his wife Khadija that he was a Prophet.
The first Prophet of Islam was Adam PBUH and the last was
Prophet Muhammad PBUH..
