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.

Refference: The Book of Al Sirah Al-Halabia (Another name of the book, Insan Al-Ueoun Fe Serat Al-Ma'mun), V1 page 128
"After the death of Qathem Ibn Abd-Al-Mu'taleb (Muhammad's Uncle) at the age of nine, three years Muhammad was born, his father Abd-Al-Mu'taleb felt so bad, so when the prophet was born, he named him Qathem.

Additional Comments:
The verse alluded to above is when God had told Moses that someday He would send another prophet to Israel, "and I will put my words in his mouth. He will tell them everything I command him" (see Deuteronomy 18:18). In the New Testament, we are told that Jesus was the prophet who fulfilled that prophecy (see Acts 3:20-25 and 7:34-40).

To the best of my knowledge, the prophet's first job was as a shepherd who looked after the sheep He said " every prophet worked as a shepherd......". This is because taking care of the sheep develops the ability to take care of the humans afterwards.

What do you have to do to be a Muslim?
First you have to believe sincerely that there is only One God and Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is the messenger of Allah (God). Then you say the shahada (declaration of faith) "I testify that there is no God but God and Muhammad is the messenger of God." Ashahu ana la ilah ila Allah WA ashadu ana Muhammad Rasool ila".
if your going to believe in Islam you need to follow it you cant just say you re a Muslim you have to believe it you have to read the quran and pray but being a Muslim isn't just about praying or reading your quran you have to be honest and sincere and loyal to Islam in the quran it says if a man doesn't pray 5 times in a day they are a non religion we spend 1 hour approximately on praying the rest on to our business's. the only reason Allah created humans was so that they could worship Allah.

Untill they prove the opposit
Was Prophet Muhammad educated?
No, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) couldn not read or write that is a sign of his prophethood. Because he brought such a book which is full of scientific facts which were unknown to scientists 1400 years ago such as:
The Big Bang Theory
The exanding Universe
The Uniqueness of Finger Tips
The Water Cycle
Moon's light is reflected light
The Sun will extinguish
Darkness in the Depth of Ocean
The Flight of Birds
Foetus protected by 3 veils
Pain Receptors in the Skin
ALIENS IN THE UNIVERSE (God said you humans are not alone in the universe 1400 years ago!!!!)
and many more discoveries. Quran is not the book of science but the book of SIGNS. Because its the final book to humnity since human beings are getting progressed in Science that's why God Almighty sent such a book which can be believed and suppose to believe.
ANOTHER ANSWER:
The prophet Mohammed pbuh was an "ummi"(illiterate).
that time nobody was educated , (except the rich and the priests ,etc).
Mohammad pbuh had no parent, was a sheep tender, and was not so much in the "city".
Now you can ask who wrote the Quran (if it is not mohammed pbuh)?
Remember that the prophet pbuh always (when a revalation/inspiration came) he first repeated it so many times as he needed to memorise the verse or chapter.
dictated the revalation/inspiration (slow and clearly) to the people around him,
and immediately they started writing it down (and others memorise it).
The prophet always asked after they had written it down to dictate what they had written down (or memorised).
If it was fault, he then asked to write it down again and began to dictate the verse/inspiration again, if it was good he would say that it is good.
After a few wars many Muslims could write and read, because of the prisoners of war. They could get freedom back if they learned ten Muslims to write and read.
When Muhammad pbuh was on his deathbed, he gave order to write the quran, But Umar ibn Khattab ra said, no we have something betters (all the writings of it on a safe place and it is in our memory). Maybe Umar was scared that it would be a to difficult/ to heavy for the prophet pbuh because of his state (he pbuh was very sick) .
But it was Uthmaan ra that collected all the quran pieces, and made of it a book. Many quran hafiz(memorisers) of that time came to him from everywere (Arabic countrys) and they checked the quran. After they all agreed that there was nothing edited or incomplete. He pronounced to all the people that the quran is now in "book-form" available.
sahih bukhari Volume 5, Book 58, Number 155:Narrated Qatada:Anas said, "The Quran was collected in the lifetime of the Prophet by four (men), all of whom were from the Ansar: Ubai, Muadh bin Jabal, Abu Zaid and Zaid bin Thabit." I asked Anas, "Who is Abu Zaid?" He said, "One of my uncles."

what Jesus says about false prophet?

Does the above mentioned teachings of Prophet Mohammed is evil fruits?
Read the Holy Bible...Believe in Jesus what he said see Bible- John 16:5
But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?
16:6
But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
16:7
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
16:8
And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
16:9
Of sin, because they believe not on me;
16:10
Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
16:11
Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
16:12
I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
16:13
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.
16:14
He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you.
16:15
All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you
Jesus says about a upcoming man who speaks what the wrong and what the right.
We know that After Jesus Prophet Mohammed came.He said what is wrong and what is right.Believe what Jesus said...
There are some sayings of Jesus this : Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me. John 14:6
but the above passages are the additions in bible by man. Because we now know that how big is this universe and earth is nothing in front of universe. Islam says that God is the creator of this universe so that if god came to this small earth the earth will deform.
You can believe what Jesus said AND believe Islam. God bless you.
