When did Muhammad go to Mount Hira?
In order to understand "Why did Muhammad PBUH go to Mount Hira?" one needs to know the conditions and situation at which He lived.
To have an idea about the conditions and situation of that time just think about this "People buried their first-born girls while they (girl babies) were alive just after they are born". Can you imagine this? And doing so was known as a heroic act. And too many other things. They were simply wilder than animals.
Prophet Muhammad(peace and blessings be upon him) used to go to the Mount Hira and look for a solution for this problem. He used to go there for about 2 years after which the Archangel Gabriel came to him and brought the first revelation of the Holy Qur'an which is as follows:
"
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
[96.1] Read (Prophet Muhammad) in the Name of your Lordwho created,
[96.2] created the human from a (blood) clot.
[96.3] Read! Your Lord is the Most Generous,
[96.4] who taught by the pen,
[96.5] taught the human what he did not know." (Qur'an 96:1-5)
In conclusion, he went there to think about a solution for the problems of that time...
Sincerely
The last prophet of Islam Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (May peace be upon him) used to visit Cave Hira and spend even weeks in solitude and meditation. It was there that the Arch Angel Hazrat Gabriel (AS) first came to him and revealed the first verses of the last heavenly Book the Qur'an: Translation:
Read in the name of thy Lord Who created; created man from a clot (of congealed blood): Read and thy Lord is most Bountiful, Who taught (the use of) the pen, taught man that which he knew not. (Quran, 96:1-5)
He was commanded by Almighty God to proclaim ONENESS of Almighty God.

سورة مريم
بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
كهيعص ﴿١﴾ ذِكْرُ رَحْمَتِ رَبِّكَ عَبْدَهُ زَكَرِيَّا ﴿٢﴾ إِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُ نِدَاءً خَفِيًّا ﴿٣﴾ قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي وَهَنَ الْعَظْمُ مِنِّي وَاشْتَعَلَ الرَّأْسُ شَيْبًا وَلَمْ أَكُن بِدُعَائِكَ رَبِّ شَقِيًّا ﴿٤﴾ وَإِنِّي خِفْتُ الْمَوَالِيَ مِن وَرَائِي وَكَانَتِ امْرَأَتِي عَاقِرًا فَهَبْ لِي مِن لَّدُنكَ وَلِيًّا ﴿٥﴾ يَرِثُنِي وَيَرِثُ مِنْ آلِ يَعْقُوبَ ۖ وَاجْعَلْهُ رَبِّ رَضِيًّا ﴿٦﴾ يَا زَكَرِيَّا إِنَّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلَامٍ اسْمُهُ يَحْيَىٰ لَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُ مِن قَبْلُ سَمِيًّا ﴿٧﴾ قَالَ رَبِّ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لِي غُلَامٌ وَكَانَتِ امْرَأَتِي عَاقِرًا وَقَدْ بَلَغْتُ مِنَ الْكِبَرِ عِتِيًّا ﴿٨﴾ قَالَ كَذَٰلِكَ قَالَ رَبُّكَ هُوَ عَلَيَّ هَيِّنٌ وَقَدْ خَلَقْتُكَ مِن قَبْلُ وَلَمْ تَكُ شَيْئًا ﴿٩﴾ قَالَ رَبِّ اجْعَل لِّي آيَةً ۚ قَالَ آيَتُكَ أَلَّا تُكَلِّمَ النَّاسَ ثَلَاثَ لَيَالٍ سَوِيًّا ﴿١٠﴾ فَخَرَجَ عَلَىٰ قَوْمِهِ مِنَ الْمِحْرَابِ فَأَوْحَىٰ إِلَيْهِمْ أَن سَبِّحُوا بُكْرَةً وَعَشِيًّا ﴿١١﴾يَا يَحْيَىٰ خُذِ الْكِتَابَ بِقُوَّةٍ ۖ وَآتَيْنَاهُ الْحُكْمَ صَبِيًّا ﴿١٢﴾ وَحَنَانًا مِّن لَّدُنَّا وَزَكَاةً ۖ وَكَانَ تَقِيًّا ﴿١٣﴾ وَبَرًّا بِوَالِدَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَكُن جَبَّارًا عَصِيًّا ﴿١٤﴾ وَسَلَامٌ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ وُلِدَ وَيَوْمَ يَمُوتُ وَيَوْمَ يُبْعَثُ حَيًّا ﴿١٥﴾
Meaning English translation:
{Kaf, Ha, Ya, 'Ayn, Sad. (1) [This is] a mention of the mercy of your Lord to His servant Zechariah (2) When he called to his Lord a private supplication. (3) He said, "My Lord, indeed my bones have weakened, and my head has filled with white, and never have I been in my supplication to You, my Lord, unhappy. (4) And indeed, I fear the successors after me, and my wife has been barren, so give me from Yourself an heir (5) Who will inherit me and inherit from the family of Jacob. And make him, my Lord, pleasing [to You]." (6) [He was told], "O Zechariah, indeed We give you good tidings of a boy whose name will be John. We have not assigned to any before [this] name." (7) He said, "My Lord, how will I have a boy when my wife has been barren and I have reached extreme old age?" (8) [An angel] said, "Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, for I created you before, while you were nothing.' " (9) [Zechariah] said, "My Lord, make for me a sign." He said, "Your sign is that you will not speak to the people for three nights, [being] sound." (10) So he came out to his people from the prayer chamber and signaled to them to exalt [Allah] in the morning and afternoon. (11)[Allah] said, "O John, take the Scripture with determination." And We gave him judgment [while yet] a boy (12) And affection from Us and purity, and he was fearing of Allah (13) And dutiful to his parents, and he was not a disobedient tyrant. (14) And peace be upon him the day he was born and the day he dies and the day he is raised alive. (15)}
[Quran, chapter 19, Surat Maryam (Mary the virgin), verses 1-15]
The relation between Zakariya and the virgin Mary (Maryam) is described in Quran that says:
فَلَمَّا وَضَعَتْهَا قَالَتْ رَبِّ إِنِّي وَضَعْتُهَا أُنثَىٰ وَاللَّـهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا وَضَعَتْ وَلَيْسَ الذَّكَرُ كَالْأُنثَىٰ ۖ وَإِنِّي سَمَّيْتُهَا مَرْيَمَ وَإِنِّي أُعِيذُهَا بِكَ وَذُرِّيَّتَهَا مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ ﴿٣٦﴾ فَتَقَبَّلَهَا رَبُّهَا بِقَبُولٍ حَسَنٍ وَأَنبَتَهَا نَبَاتًا حَسَنًا وَكَفَّلَهَا زَكَرِيَّا ۖ كُلَّمَا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا زَكَرِيَّا الْمِحْرَابَ وَجَدَ عِندَهَا رِزْقًا ۖ قَالَ يَا مَرْيَمُ أَنَّىٰ لَكِ هَـٰذَا ۖ قَالَتْ هُوَ مِنْ عِندِ اللَّـهِ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّـهَ يَرْزُقُ مَن يَشَاءُ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ ﴿٣٧﴾هُنَالِكَ دَعَا زَكَرِيَّا رَبَّهُ ۖ قَالَ رَبِّ هَبْ لِي مِن لَّدُنكَ ذُرِّيَّةً طَيِّبَةً ۖ إِنَّكَ سَمِيعُ الدُّعَاءِ ﴿٣٨﴾ فَنَادَتْهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي فِي الْمِحْرَابِ أَنَّ اللَّـهَ يُبَشِّرُكَ بِيَحْيَىٰ مُصَدِّقًا بِكَلِمَةٍ مِّنَ اللَّـهِ وَسَيِّدًا وَحَصُورًا وَنَبِيًّا مِّنَ الصَّالِحِينَ ﴿٣٩﴾ قَالَ رَبِّ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لِي غُلَامٌ وَقَدْ بَلَغَنِيَ الْكِبَرُ وَامْرَأَتِي عَاقِرٌ ۖ قَالَ كَذَٰلِكَ اللَّـهُ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاءُ ﴿٤٠﴾ قَالَ رَبِّ اجْعَل لِّي آيَةً ۖ قَالَ آيَتُكَ أَلَّا تُكَلِّمَ النَّاسَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ إِلَّا رَمْزًا ۗ وَاذْكُر رَّبَّكَ كَثِيرًا وَسَبِّحْ بِالْعَشِيِّ وَالْإِبْكَارِ ﴿٤١﴾
Meaning English translation:
{ But when she delivered her, she said, "My Lord, I have delivered a female." And Allah was most knowing of what she delivered, "And the male is not like the female. And I have named her Mary, and I seek refuge for her in You and [for] her descendants from Satan, the expelled [from the mercy of Allah]." (36) So her Lord accepted her with good acceptance and caused her to grow in a good manner and put her in the care of Zechariah. Every time Zechariah entered upon her in the prayer chamber, he found with her provision. He said, "O Mary, from where is this [coming] to you?" She said, "It is from Allah. Indeed, Allah provides for whom He wills without account." (37)At that, Zechariah called upon his Lord, saying, "My Lord, grant me from Yourself a good offspring. Indeed, You are the Hearer of supplication." (38) So the angels called him while he was standing in prayer in the chamber, "Indeed, Allah gives you good tidings of John, confirming a word from Allah and [who will be] honorable, abstaining [from women], and a prophet from among the righteous." (39) He said, "My Lord, how will I have a boy when I have reached old age and my wife is barren?" The angel said, "Such is Allah; He does what He wills." (40) He said, "My Lord, make for me a sign." He Said, "Your sign is that you will not [be able to] speak to the people for three days except by gesture. And remember your Lord much and exalt [Him with praise] in the evening and the morning." (41)} [Quran, chapter 3, Surat Aaal Omran, verses 36-41]

How did the first pillar the shahadah affect a Muslim life?
The First pillar of Islam deals with the concept of believing in ONE God and how not to believe.
The first pillar of Islam sets Islam way apart from Christianity and Hinduism. A distinct line is drawn between monotheistic believes and polytheistic believes. Here Judaism and Islam share the same believes.
The first pillar is also the foundation for the other pillars that follow. Additional to the first pillar is the believe in an inevitable Judgement day, the concept of Angels and jinn, the concept of prophets and messengers, the Quran as a holy book from God (Allah) and the idea of a paradise and hell.
Once the Person have a firm grasp on this first pillar, then he is already considered a muslim. And a it will be impossible to convert to a believe system other than Islam.
____________________________________________________________
In addition to the above that I fully agree upon, the shahadah learns Muslims to ask support and Guidance only from Allah and teaches him/her to be obedient to the commands of Allah and His prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Refer to question below.
The Prophesy of Mohammad (PBUH) in Parsi Scriptures. This prophesy is purely propaganda of Muslims that have made up the same story for every religion and say Muhammad has been mentioned. Zend Avesta is the holy book of Zartosht & nothing but invasion by Arabs & Turks exist which mentions how blood thirsty & greedy these people are.
- Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in Zend Avesta
It is mentioned in Zend Avesta FarvardinYasht chapter 28 verse 129
(Sacred Books of the East, volume 23, Zend Avesta Part II pg. 220):
This is actually what is written in the Zend Avesta, not the propaganda Arabs & Muslims put out about Zoroastrian holy book.
"And rule and sovereignty come to slaves, such as the Turk and non-Turanian of the army, and are turbulent as among the mountaineers; and the Chini, the Kavuli, the Softi, the Ruman, and the white-clothed Karmak then attain sovereignty in my countries of Iran, and their will and pleasure will become current in the world.
"'The sovereignty will come from those leather-belted ones and Arabs and Rumans to them, and they will be so misgoverning that when they kill a righteous man who is virtuous and a fly, it is all one in their eyes.
"'And the security, fame, and prosperity, the country and families, the wealth and handiwork, the streams, rivers, and springs of Iran, and of those of the good religion, come to those non-Iranians; and the army and standards of the frontiers come to them, and a rule with a craving for wrath advances in the world.
"'And their eyes of avarice are not sated with wealth, and they form hoards of the world's wealth, and conceal them underground; and through wickedness they commit sodomy, hold much intercourse with menstruous women, and practice many unnatural lusts.
Also Arabs & Muslims talk about Dasatir a Zoroastrian holy book? Dasatir is a book written by a Muslim, it is a fantasy book that has nothing to do with any Zoroastrian or religion of Zoroastrians, not now or ever. It is a fantasy book to promote Islam to Zoroastrians that never accepted Islam, remember Iranians fought Arabs for over 23 years before being forced into Islam & it took another 700 years to force the masses into accepting Islam by force of Taxation, Humiliation, lack of rights against Muslims, destruction of temples, religious bigotry, not permitted to get educated & many other tactics to get people to accept Islam.

Did prophet mohammed had not shodow?

A Jew named Labid ibn Asam al-Zurayqi was accused of casting a spell on Mohammed to make him impotent. But how do you prove an accusation like that?
In practice, it is very unlikely that the Jews believed in magic, or that a person who cast such a spell would admit it in public, or that such a spell would work in real life.
What is Muhammads wife called?
The muhammads wife are called the mother of believers according the following verse:
the prophet is closer to the believers than their selves, and his wives are (as) their mothers. and the owners of kinship are closer one to another in the ordinance of allah than (other) believers and the fugitives (who fled from mecca), except that ye should do kindness to your friends. this is written in the book (of nature). AL-AHZAB:6
How did Abu Bakr succeed Mohammed after the Prophet's Death?
