How did Prophet Muhammad become a prophet?
Muhammad became a prophet by God's revelation of the holy Quran, the Muslim Holy Book, to him through the Angel Gabriel (Jibril) that started in year 610 AD through the year 632 AD (year of death of prophet Muhammad PBUH).
For years after his marriage, Muhammad 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, in year 610 AD, and in the still hours of the night, when no human sympathy was near, that Angel Gabriel (Jibril) 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. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) then started receiving God Quran revelation to him, through the Angel Gabriel, from year 610 AD until year 632 AD (year of prophet's death).

Why did Allah send prophets to mankind?
There are many reasons to answer the above question. Among these reasons there are geographic and linguistic reasons. If we think of geography , we will find that in the 17th century CE, Arabia found itself far beyond the immediate sphere of influence of the two dominant regional powers, the Byzantine and Persian Empires. In other words ,these two powers would not let Islam to appear in their domain and Islam would represent a real threat to these two empires. The only possible place for Islam to grow at that time was the remote Hijaz area. Arabia at that time was the geostrategic center of the entire world. It is almost equidistant to Morocco and England , India and china. This fact would prove enormously auspicious for the expansion of Islam. Concerning the reasons and explanations of revealing the Holy Qur'an in Arabic m wee find that Arabic language is capable of conveying anything that words can convey and mean. No other language in the world has such a characteristic. Moreover, Arabic verb can be put into eight different modalities. Yet there is another point which shows that Arabic language can make temporally indeterminate statements. Another significant aspect was the propitious timing of the Quranic revelation. Before Muhammad entered the world remodeled the divine revelation they once had received without any prospect for reform. So Muhammad came as the last one of all prophets because all issue was no more , and no less than the restoration of Abraham's monotheism the natural religion in harmony with human nature. In fact , Islam represent the first significant attempt to reform Christianity. For instance, the Holy Qur'an explains to us that Jesus was created ,like Adam and not begotten. Moreover, the Qur'an shows us that Jesus didn't die on the cross nor is he the son of Allah. To say that God has taken a son is a thing most monstrous. It is obvious enough that the church is withholding the long overdue rehabilitation of Muhammad because it is still trapped in the mesh of its own home grown defamation against him. Even those Christians who have long since abandoned the notion of Islam as a heresy and of Muhammad as a fraud still find it hard to accept the Qur'an as a divine revelation of the same rank as the Bible. Exactly this is of course implied if Muhammad is accorded recognition as a genuine prophet. Therefore , moving ahead will require a deeper and more emphatic study of the Qur'an on the Christian side. In spite of the Christian's refusal of Qur'an as a divine revelation, both Christians and Muslims currently are sitting side by side in the same boat as they are riding the rough seas of contemporary hostility against religion. == ==

Did prophet Mohammed divorce his wife?
Answer 1
No
Answer 2
Muhammad divorced several women, but the majority of these divorces were before he had consummated the marriage, so they were more like what we would call a broken engagement. However, he divorced two women after he had consummated the marriage and two more with whom he had been in a compromising position of being alone with them, although these marriages were not actually consummated. These four women are not given the title "Mother of the Faithful" and they are often omitted from lists of Muhammad's wives. Here are their names.
1. Mulayka bint Kaab. She was from the Layth tribe near Mecca. She did not realise when she married Muhammad that his army had killed her father. When Aisha informed her of this, Mulayka asked for a divorce, which Muhammad granted.
2. Fatima bint Al-Dahhak. She was from the Kilab tribe. She did not keep the rules about veiling very strictly: instead of sitting at home, she would watch the men in the mosque. When Muhammad found out, he divorced her.
3. Asma bint Al-Numan. She was a princess from Yemen. Aisha tricked her by telling her that Muhammad would be pleased if she told him, "I seek refuge in Allah from thee!" Asma naively said these words on the wedding night, not realising that they were the divorce formula. Muhammad said he could not stay married to a woman who had said this to him, so he returned the dower and sent Asma home.
4. Amra bint Yazid. She was also from the Kilab tribe. Muhammad discovered on the wedding night that she had leprosy, so he divorced her before the consummation.
Muhammad began to divorce both Sawda bint Zamaa(because she grew old) and Hafsa bint Umar(because she was argumentative). In both cases, he changed his mind and took them back. It is also said that he began to divorce Rayhana bint Zayd because of her jealousy but that he later reconciled with her. However, others say that Rayhana was only a concubine. If this is correct, it would have been impossible for him to divorce her.
Mohammed (also Muhammad, Muhammad ibn Abdullah, 570-632 AD) was an Arab, born in Mecca, who engaged in solitary meditation for 18 years in the nearby mountains.
In Islam, he is the last Prophet of Allah, whose revelations became the oral recitations (and later the written texts) of the Qu'ran.

How are the teachings of Muhammad preserved?
According to Islamic Theology, the Qur'an was transmitted by the Archangel Gabriel from God to Muhammad. Muhammad's recitation was memorized by faithful Muslims and protected by God, to make sure that the Qur'an never change. As concerns, Muhammad's actual teachings, those are the Hadiths (Events) and the Sirat an-Nabi (Biography of the Prophet). The Hadiths have numerous origins and while some are legitimate, many track back to local cultural traditions, other religions' holy texts or prayers, and personal beliefs of local leaders. Islamic scholars sorted out the Hadiths and determined their accuracy by using isnads (chains of retellers) that would track back to one of Muhammad's Sahaba (Apostles). Those that passed the test were preserved in Hadith Collections. The Biography of the Prophet is a document written by Ibn Ishaq and redacted by Ibn Hisham roughly two centuries after Muhammad's death based on the stories, legends, and oral traditions surrounding Muhammad.
Secular History does not confirm any of the claims about the Qur'an or the Hadiths. There is still no coherent hypothesis of the origin of the Qur'an (as opposed to the Pentateuch's JEPD hypothesis), but scholars generally believe that the Qur'an was written by several groups of writers, editors, and redactors in the 7th and 8th centuries. On Hadiths, scholars like Goldziher have demonstrated that the isnad method of determining the accuracy of the Hadiths was misplaced and a number of Hadiths changed their isnads over time, meaning the tradition preserved in the Hadith Collections is not likely to be an accurate demonstration of what Muhammad did. It is generally agreed that the Sirat an-Nabi was composed from latent legends in the 9th century, but Secular Historians reject that these are in any way accurate about Muhammad, even assuming he did live. (The details of any historical event mutate within a few decades after the event, especially in a primarily illiterate culture, which the Arab Muslims were.)
Answer 1 Islam was not founded, God revealed Islam to Prophet Muhammad (S) to guide man to the righteous path and to the path of truth and heaven. Islam was revealed to mankind so that one may worship Allah (God in English) and surrender to him only. Islam is guidance to the right path. Islam religion is founded by God by start of universe creation to demonstrate full submission to god; the Creator. Refer to question below.
Refer to question below on why Quran; Islam religion holy book; was revealed and accordingly explains why Islam religion was founded.
Answer 2
Islam is God religion since start of universe and mankind creation and may be even before. Islam means submission to Allah (or God in English) with no partner and hence fulfilling peace both self peace and world peace. All God prophets called their people to Islam starting by Adam and ending with Muhammad (peace be upon them all). Islam per Quran that was revealed to prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) from God by the angel Gabriel about 600 years after Jesus' birth. The revelation started by 610 AD and continued until 632 AD, the year of prophet Muhammad's death.
The reasons of Islam per Quran revelation to prophet Muhammad are:
- One of the primary objectives of revelation in the Quran is to call people to worship one and only one God, without father, son, spirit, or duplicate of any kind. Also the Quran reveals that some of the previous revelations from God, including some texts of the Torah, the Psalms and the Gospels, have been changed and falsified over time, necessitating the need for a final revelation to correct for alterations introduced to previous God holy book revelations.
- Islam per Quran reminds people about the coming of the Day of Judgment and then urges that this Day should be taken into consideration during one's lifetime. You are urged to be grateful to your God by doing good works. Good works are characterized by being socially relevant, that is, of benefit to society. The preaching considers a central theme that people should be conscious of God during this life and follow the direction of the way of God. The way of God is not defined by dogma but is indicated operationally in two ways. The first pertains to carrying out actions characterized only by being beneficial to the welfare of humanity (society). The second involves the means of gaining faith in God through observing His creation.
- Islam per Qur'an stresses that all previous messengers and prophets of God are fully human and not divine.
- Islam per Qur'an also contains teachings related to previous prophets. This teaching involves reminding Jews and Christians of some aspects of their Scriptures and traditions, and their basic deviations from God's original revelations. Among the more important teachings are ones dealing with the divinity of Jesus and the concept of Judaic exclusiveness.
- the Qur'an; holy book of Islam; includes statements and principles that establish the position of mankind on earth, and that provide guidance and freedom of choice. As a consequence of granting freedom of choice to mankind, religious diversity is taken for granted, so the Quran contains the principles regulating the dynamic coexistence among the various communities, faiths, and cultures.
- Islam per Quran also deals with rituals such as praying, fasting, alms giving, and pilgrimage.
- Islam per Quran deals also with some aspects of social regulations like inheritance, punishment, marriage and divorce, and so on.
- Islam teachings per Quran laid down the principles of human rights, women's rights, equality of all people regardless of gender, belief, race, or culture.
- One of the proofs that the holy book Quran was not written by humans or extracted from other books and that the Quran was a revelation from God to Prophet Mohamed is that the Quran includes many scientific statements that had been only recently proved by science. These statements are considered to be scientific miracles of the Quran; they were revealed by God 14 centuries ago and were validated in modern times. In this regard some words are quoted below by Dr. Maurice Bucaille (an eminent medical scientist and a member of the French Academy of Medicine). He is the author of the book entitled "The Bible, The Quran and Science."
"Science and Islam's close relationship with it played a tremendous role in strengthening my faith and that of scientists throughout history - even today! This is a fascinating section - do take time to explore it!"
