The sunni Muslims believe he became the prophet at the age of 40,and they also believe he was illiterate until angel gabriel squeezed him really hard 3 times.only then was he able to read the revalation from god.

but this is not true

He became prophet when he was 40 when angel gabriel told him to read and his answer was i can't read. then he said read in the name of your lord.

He was of age 40 when started the revelation of first verses of Quran to him, in year 610, by God through the Angel Gabriel; same Angel who told Virgin Mariam that she will give birth to Jesus.

Muhammad bin Abdullah had developed the habit of periodically withdrawing from Mecca's pagan squalor to a nearby mountain cave (located in present-day Saudi Arabia), where he would reflect in solitude. During one of these retreats he was visited by the Angel Gabriel - the very same angel who had announced the coming of Jesus to the Virgin Mary in Nazareth some 600 years earlier. Opening with the command "Recite!," Gabriel made it known to Muhammad that he was to serve as the Messenger of God. Subsequently, until his death, the supposedly illiterate Muhammad received through Gabriel divine revelations in Arabic that were known as Qur'an or Quran ("recitation") and that announced, initially in a highly poetic and rhetorical style, a new and uncompromising brand of monotheism known as Islam, or "submission" (to God's will).

Bismillah, Al Hamdulilah

Basically he was born a Muslim From the father and mother of Muslims.

So he did not accept Islam in a specific age, and anyway we were all born as Muslims even if you are called a Christian or Jew or a Buddhist or a Hindu you were born as a Muslim but it was your parents who taught you the religion they were taught from their parents.But this brother is talking more about the events and not on the topic.

Jazak Allah
