He had four daughters and two sons, all from his wife Khadija (May Allah Be Pleased With Her) except a son from Maria (May Allah Be Pleased With Her). Both the sons died in infancy while there is a dispute about a third son that was still-born by Ayesha (May Allah Be Pleased With Her). Of the daughters, three reached maturity. Two of them were married to Usman bin Affan, one after the another ( The first one died at the eve of battle of badr). The most beloved daughter, Fatima, was married to Ali bin AbiTalib and she survived the holy prophet.

How did Islam become a major religion in West and East Africa?
A bit of Info: The spread of Islam, from Arabia began to spread west through Southwest Asia and North Africa in the 600s.But Islam also spread east to central Asia, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Indonesia. The Muslim community in the country of Indonesia is one of the largest in the world.
Main answer: Islam became a major religion in East and West Africa, because there were many Muslim traders going to trade in that part of Africa. And at the time Mansa Musa made a pilgrimage and brought many people with him.
What did Muhammad borrow from Judaism and Christianity?
Theanswer to this question depends on belief as well as the research of historians. Muslims believe that Islam existed from the beginning of creation and that the Koran was written in heaven and dictated to Muhammad. There is little that Muhammad and the Islamic religion would have borrowed from Christianity.
However, Philip Jenkins (The Lost History of Christianity) says that the Christian impact on Islam was profound, and can be traced at the deepest roots of that faith.
Mosques look as they do because their appearance derives from that of Eastern Christian churches in the early days of Islam. Jenkins says that most of the religious practices of the believers within those mosques stem from the example of Eastern Christians, including the prostrations that appear so alien to modern Westerners.
The severe self-denial of Ramadan was originally based on the Eastern practice of Lent.
The Quran itself often shows startling parallels to Eastern Christian scriptures, devotional texts, and hymns. Some scholars have even argued that much of the text originated in Syriac lectionaries, collections of readings for church use.
Much of Islamic theology parallels that of Christianity or Judaism, but of course this does not prove that Muhammad adapted Christian and Judaic beliefs, rather than simply receiving them from heaven.

How old do you need to be to become an Imam?
Technically, one may become an imam at puberty - which is considered the time adulthood is reached - but most likely there will be others within a community who are more qualified because of equal or better knowledge and, of course, maturity. That is if what is meant by "imam" is a religious leader. An "imam" is also one who simply leads the prayer. That can be, as mentioned, at the time of puberty.
Who was the first Muslim convert in Madina after the Prophet Mohammad SAW arrived there from Mecca?

What is the difference between tawheed and shirk?
Okay first of all how can you compare two totally different subjects. Shirk is when you are no longer a Muslim and you don't believe in anything that they believe and tawheed is basically the study of the Quran and Allah s.w.t. in Islam.
mt ---> shirk means ascribing partners with God. Disbelieving in HIS ONENESS.
We must know Who Allah is and how we should believe in Him.
In a reply to the question posed by the Non-believers of Makka (Mecca), Allah Almighty revealed a Sura Ikhlas (112) in the Qur'an telling the people Who the Creator is: Translation from Arabic language:
"Say (O Prophet): He is Allah, the One and Only, Allah is Eternal and Absolute, He begets none, nor is He begotten, and there is No One like Him." The in-detail study of the holy Qur'an reveals to us the facts about Him. He is the Sole Creator, Sustainer, Provider, and Ruler of all the worlds He has created. He has No Son, No Off-spring, No Parents, No Associate whatsoever. He enjoys Absolute Authority over all creatures. He is Most Merciful, Oft-Forgiving, All-Knowing, All Listening, Omni-Present, Omni-Potent. He shall never forgive a person who associates anybody else with Him in His Absolute Authority.
ShirK means that you know that there is a Supreme Being Who has created universe. But along with that Supreme Being (Allah-God) some one attributes the powers to others-Idols, priests, holy men etc.- which only Allah Almighty enjoys. That is associating Partners, Son, or somebody else to Almighty Allah. If somebody prays to, begs from, takes somebody his beneficient, or thinks him to be capable of doing harm without the Wish of Almighty Allah, he commits Shirk.
Durin Shab-i-Mia'raaj. On the night the holy Prophet (SAW) went uponhisheavenly journey.
Why does Prophet Muhammad still have followers?
The same reason prophet Jesus still has followers and same reason prophet Moses still has followers; Peace be upon them all. Refer to questions below for more information.
Addition:
All three religions stem from the same source - the Yahweh (YHWH, Jehovah) of the Jews.
Christianity added Yeshua (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit in an awkward compromise trilogy.
Islam was a purified version with the god, in Arabic called Allah, with the war leader and visionary Muhammad as the principal prophet, but the prophets of the other two religions (including Moses and Jesus) also recognised.
They all continue to exist in parallel today.
Did Muhammad ever read the Old Testament?
It is generally claimed that he could not read at all.
Actually this is probably an exaggeration; there are hadiths from his later life that show him reading at least at a basic level.
However, he certainly could not read Hebrew. He probably could not even read well enough to read an Arabic translation of the Tanakh.
He certainly spoke an acted like a person who had not a clue what the Tanakh really said, or how the bits of it that other people had told him all fitted together in a coherent whole.
____________________________________________________
Sure, he didn't read the old testament or any other writings because the prophet (peace be upon him) was illiterate. There are many events that prove he was illiterate.
Who was born in anathoth that told god that he was too young to be a prophet?
Jeremiah, who was about twenty years old.
In Quran Allah said that He (Allah ) and his angels say Salath ( Yasuloona ) on the prophet hence O the believers you should also say ( Salloo alehay wa sallaymoo tasleema ) Al Quran Part 33 verse 55 .
Answer B (shia answer)
tasleema in above verse means a especial salawat. sahaba asked prophet how we should say salawat to you. prophet said: say:
اللهم صل علي محمد و آل محمد
O God! send peace on Muhammad and his family.
his family means Ahl ul Bayt. but who have envy with Ahl Bayt cut this part from salawat.
the correct form as prophet said is:
اللهم صل علي محمد و آل محمد
allahumma salli ala Muhammad wa ali Muhammad
anyway in salawat the Ahl Bayt should be involved.
How did wealthy people react to Muhammad's teachings and ideas?
They were worriesome because they didn't want "Some Man" to take their power away. They wanted to have power and rank over many citizens, and when this man made people turn their heads, the wealthy lost power.
What do most people think about Islam?
I truthfully don't know. People think and believe what they want to believe. 60% of the haters of Islam haven't even read about it or gave it a chance. Many people are Muslims though and love it. =D
Answer:
A "Sunnah Mu-akkadah" is a practice of the Prophet which was definitely done by him and, usually, many times.
Literally, the term means: "A Definite Practice". This is something that the Prophet definitely did.
Examples are: praying two rakaat of prayer before the obligatory dawn prayer, or praying an odd number of rakaat before going to bed.
