Muhammad was a trader and camel train owner before becoming a prophet.
According to Islamic sources, Muhammad was a Trader under the employment of Khadija, who was so impressed with his conduct, they later married!
______________________________________________________________
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) worked first as shepherd then as a trader on behalf of Khadija (God be pleased with her) who admired his honesty, seriousness, and refraining himself from drinking alcohols and/or performing illegal sex without marriage besides his popular good characters and conduct among the Makkahns. Accordingly, she offered to marry him especially that the prophet was belonging to the highest family in Makkah (or Mecca). They later got married and Khadija was the best support to him when he was chosen by God as the prophet and when Quran revealed to him by God. She was the first woman to convert to Islam.

Why do Muslims go to Jerusalem?
They go to Jerusalem (AlQods) because that is where the Al-Aqsa Mosque (Masjid Al-Aqsa) and the Dome of Rock Shrine are, in addition to several other Islamic places. The Al-Aqsa Mosque is considered the third holiest place in Islam and praying there is a moving experience for many Muslims. There are also the remnants of Mohammed's footsteps from where he ascended to heaven from Al-Aqsa. See the link below for more information on the reasons why Muslims revere Jerusalem.
Answer A How to Convert to Islam
From your Islam Guide
If you believe in the teachings of Islam, it is recommended to make a formal declaration of faith. After careful study and prayer, if you find that you want to embrace the faith, here's how:
- For a Muslim, every action begins with your intention. Quietly, to yourself, make the intention to embrace Islam as your faith.
- Say the following words with clarity of intention, firm faith and belief:
- Say: "Ash-hadu an la ilaha ill Allah." (I bear witness that there is no deity but Allah.) "Wa ash-hadu ann Muhammad an-rasullulallah." (And I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.)
- Take a shower for whole body, symbolically cleansing yourself of your past life. Then you start your life free from all sins before entering into Islam; as if you are born again.
- Learn how to pray and practice Islam in your daily life.
- Read about Islam teachings and Islam 5 pillars (see related questions below for more information).
- Continue to learn, study, and grow in your new faith.
Tips:
- Before embracing Islam, be sure to spend time studying the faith, reading books, and learning from other Muslim Aleem/Scholer(Ordinary Muslim may not have enough knowledge).
- Your conversion should be based on knowledge, certainty, acceptance, submission, truthfulness, and sincerity.
- It is not required to have Muslim witnesses to your conversion, but many prefer to have such support.
- If you wish to go for Hajj (pilgrimage), a "certificate of Islam" may be required. Contact your local Islamic center to obtain one.
Answer B
To become a Muslim one must have faith in the religion, go to a mosque, and follow the directions of the instructors there, one of which is saying in Arabic: "There is only one god and Mohammad (PBUH) is his last messenger."
You have to recite the 'dua kalimah syahadah'. It goes like this (I made the words simpler for you to pronounce since you are non-Muslim):
Ashhadu alla illaha illallah
Wa ashhadu ana muhammada rasulullah
Please follow the related links for more information
people can be a member of the Islam religion by reciting the Kelime-i-shahadah. after entering Islam they have to start fullfilling their Islamic obligations and duties like praying 5 times a day and fasting and so on.

Answer D
Islam, a name given by Allah to this religion (Quran 5:4), is an Arabic word which literally means obedience and peace. ISLAM is derived from the Arabic root "SALEMA": peace, purity, submission and obedience. So 'Islam' would mean the path of those who are obedient to Allah and who establish peace with Him and His creatures. Its follower are called Muslims.
Islam is not a new religion. It is, in essence, the same message and guidance which Allah revealed to all prophets before Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. Allah says in the Qur'ân:
"Say, `We believe in ALLAH and that which has been revealed to us, and that which was revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and in that which was given to Moses and Jesus and other Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them and to HIM we submit." (Qur'ân 3-85)
Six main Articles of faith in Islam
- To believe in the Oneness of Allah.
- To believe in all His Angels.
- To believe in all His Books.
- To believe in all His Prophets.
- To believe in the Day of Resurrection.
- To believe in the Decree of Allah
The Five Pillars of Islam (Declaration of the Islamic Faith)
In order to enter into the fold of Islam i.e. to be Muslim, one has to know, believe, accept totally and sincerely apply the five basic principles (Pillars) on which Islam is based: Ibn Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allah - Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) said: Islam is based on the following five pillars (principles).
- Bearing witness that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah
- Observance of Prayer
- Paying Zakat
- Fasting during Ramadhan
- Pilgrimage to the house of Allah.
"Ash-hadu anla elaha illa-Allah WA ash-hadu unna muhammaden rasul-Allah"
English:
"I bear witness that there is no deity worthy to be worshiped but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger."
This declaration is one of the core beliefs in Islam.
The sunnah is the sayings and practices/doings of prophet Muhammad; peace be upon him
It means prophet Muhammad (PBUH) sayings and practices. This should be followed by Muslims together with Quran teachings.
Answer:
The word "sunnah" means a way, a practice. It is like the term "method of operation".
This word can apply to anyone - even God. God has "a way" of dealing with His creation.
In Islamic terminology, the 'Sunnah' means the way and example of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him - PBUH). The 'Sunnah' includes things that Muhammad said and did - even down to how he wore his clothes - and things that he approved or disapproved of.
The wisdom of this is that God reaveals a scripture, and the Prophet to whom He reveals it then shows his people how to live by that scripture. He is our example. For instance God, in the Qur'an, tells us to pray. Without the example of our beloved Muhammad (PBUH), we would not know how or when to pray. He showed us.
Therefore, we follow the Qur'an, and the Sunnah. That is why we are called 'Sunni' Muslims. We are the majority. 85%. We are the true, orthodox Muslims. Other groups - like the Shiah - are off in left field, inventing all kinds of incorrect things and falling away from what Muhammad taught.
What is Prophet Muhammad' cousin's name?
All I know that one was named Hanniya because hanniya is my name
In what year and date Hazrat Muhammad was born?
Muhammad (pbuh) was born in Makkah on 12 Rabi` al-Awwal 570 c.e.
His father, `Abdullah Ibn `Abdul Muttalib of the Banu Hashim clan of the Quraysh tribe, died before his birth.

Prince Khalifa ibn Salman Al Khalifa is the Prime Minister of Bahrain since 1970 to present.
What is the full name of Muhammad the prophet that chosen to Allah?
Abū al-Qāsim Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib ibn Hāshim
Both, to a relatively strong percentage.
Muslims in world are near 80% sunni and near 20% shia. researchers have counted up to 260 sect for Islam that they all belong to categories Sunni and shia. the main category of Shia is 12 Imami shia and other sects of shia are nearly extincted.
there is at least 300,000,000 shia Muslims in world, but there is no clear stat. shias always have been controlled and killed during history and so usually they hide their beliefs. all 12 Imams of shia have been killed or spent their life in prison by Omayyads and Abbasids.
What was the age of hazrat zainab bint hajash?
She died at the age of 53 in either 641 or 643 (the historians disagree).
This probably means 53 lunar years. If we assume the pre-Islamic year was identical to the post-Hijra year (which is not, in fact, a safe assumption) and convert all dates to Gregorian (which is an anachronism), this is what I calculate.
Her earliest possible date of birth is 3 August 588.
Her latest possible date of birth is 18 June 592.
Mean = 11/12 July 590
She married Mohammed in April 527, so she was about then 37 years old, plus or minus quite a bit of inaccuracy.
When Muhammad tried to convert the people of mecca what happened to him?
Upon initially preaching the message of Islam, Muhammad was met with mockery and taunts. However, as he progressed and became more influential and more of a person who posed a threat to the present paganism, the Makkans took serious action against Muhammad; he was branded a 'magician' and a 'liar', he was ridiculed by many, for example Abu Jahl once rubbed the entrails of a camel against Muhammad when he was praying. The wife of Abu Lahab would lay down thorns on the paths Muhammad was expected to take, however, some people also listened to his message and consequently accepted Islam, establishing him as a leader.
Id-ul-Fitr is celebrated on the begining 3 days of Shawwal (10th Month) and comes as a reward or celebration after a whole month of fasting in Ramadan (9th Month).
The Islamic calendar is based on Lunar system better known as the Hijrah Calendar and therefore the months on lunar calendar are not fixed and vary as with the general Gregorian Calendar being followed. Every Hijrah year has few less days than the previous Gregorian year and, therefore, cannot be pre-determined as opposed to the Gregorian Calendar. The main reason being that the months in lunar calendar can vary from 28 - 30 days depending on the lunar cycle.
For Example, in 2005 Id-ul-Fitr came on 3rd of November, in 2006 it was nearly on 26th of October and in 2007 it was celebrated on 12rh of October.
