Prophet Muhammad (s) was born in 570 CE in Makkah (Bakka, Baca, Mecca). His father, Abdullah, died several weeks before his birth in Yathrib (Medinah) where he went to visit his father's maternal relatives. His mother died while on the return journey from Medinah at a place called 'Abwa' when he was six years old. He was raised by his paternal grandfather 'Abd al Muttalib (Shaybah) until the age of eight, and after his grandfather's death by Abu Talib, his paternal uncle. 'Abd al Muttalib's mother, Salma, was a native of Medinah and he was born and raised as a young boy in Medinah before his uncle Muttalib brought him to Makkah to succeed him. Many years before Muhammad's birth, 'Abd al Muttalib had established himself as an influential leader of the Arab tribe 'Quraish' in Makkah and took care of the Holy sanctuary 'Ka'bah'. Makkah was a city state well connected to the caravan routes to Syria and Egypt in the north and northwest and Yemen in the south. Muhammad was a descendant of Prophet Ismail through the lineage of his second son Kedar.

Ka'bah is the first house of worship built on earth for the worship of Allah, the One True God. It was re-built (raised from the existing foundation) by Prophets Ibrahim (Abraham) and Ismail (Ishmael). Allah is the proper name of the One True God, creator and sustainer of the universe, who does not have a partner or associate, and He did not beget nor was He begotten. Unlike the word god, the word Allah does not have a plural or gender.

Under the guardianship of Abu Talib, Muhammad (s) began to earn a living as a businessman and a trader. At the age of twelve, he accompanied Abu Talib with a merchant caravan as far as Bostra in Syria. Muhammad was popularly known as 'al-Ameen' for his unimpeachable character by the Makkans and visitors alike. The title Al-Ameen means the Honest, the Reliable and the Trustworthy, and it signified the highest standard of moral and public life.

Upon hearing of Muhammad's impressive credentials, Khadijah, a rich merchant widow, asked Muhammad (s) to take some merchandise for trade to Syria. Soon after this trip when he was twenty-five, Khadijah proposedmarriage to Muhammad through a relative. Muhammad accepted the proposal. At that time, Khadijah was twice widowed and forty years old. Khadijah (ra) and Muhammad (s) were the parents of six children - four daughters and two sons. His first son Qasim died at the age of two. He was nicknamed Abul Qasim, meaning the father of Qasim. His second son Abdullah died in infancy. Abdullah was also called affectionately as 'Tayyab' and 'Tahir' because he was born after Muhammad's prophethood. The four daughters were: Zainab, Ruqayyah, Umm Kulthum, and Fatimah (ra).

Why is the Prophet Muhammad praised the most out of all the other prophets?
salam... prophet Muhammad is the last prophet. during israk mikraj all the prophet are meet together, they give salam to each other. finally they pray which we pray now today in Muslim and prophet Muhammad are the leader in that pray (solat) which call imam. in this case, prophet Muhammad was stand in front of all the other prophet, included prophet Jesus. that why all the Muslim today much more praised prophet Muhammad and he is the last prophet. that mean we now is the follower of prophet Muhammad. not Jesus. who ever follow prophet Jesus, call them self christian. Actually Christians are not resist. they are spouse joint Muslim and become Islam. Why this happen, the answer is because Israel and Nasrani (the Israel helper, what I seen today is America) jealousy at Muslim and Islam. Prophet Muhammad said, don't harm any body and be a friend to any body include your enemies. That why we didn't have a weapon to fight now, cause we are friendly to any body but Israel and hie helper try to sabotage Muslim and say Muslim is terrorism. Its not true. Hundred percent wrong.

Prophet Mohammad in buddahism?
What Buddhism Scripture say about Muhammad? The Buddha leader Gautama, has prophesized the coming of an inspired person. In the Gospel of Buddha by Caras (pp. 217-8) it is written that this great Buddha will come to the world known as the "Maitreya". The Cakkavatti-Sihanada Suttana gives him the name "Metteyya". Both these words mean "The Merciful One". By reference to the life-history of Muhammad (p.b.u.h.), This is utter nonsense, please show me what Buddhist would accept this nonsense, it is purely fiction written by Arab & Muslims to say Muhammad is legitimate prophet, it is nothing but a fantasy of Muslims that all other religions have mentioned Muhammad in there holy book. Bibble, Zoroaster, Buddha, Bahai, Judaism, Christianity have not now or ever mentioned anything about a mass murder of Arabia as a prophet, pure propaganda of Muslims & wishful thinking.
