About Muhammad.

Muhammad (c. 570-632 CE) was the founder of Islam and the final prophet for Muslims worldwide. Born into the Quraysh tribe in Mecca, he was an orphan raised by his uncle, known for his integrity as a merchant. At forty, he received his first revelation from the angel Gabriel on Mount Hira. For thirteen years in Mecca, he preached monotheism and social justice, facing severe persecution before migrating to Medina (the Hijra) in 622. In Medina, he became a visionary spiritual, political, and military leader, unifying the Arabian Peninsula through diplomacy and defense. He returned to Mecca as a conqueror in 630, granting general amnesty and rededicating the Kaaba to the One God. Muhammad’s life, preserved in the Sunnah, and the revelations he received, compiled in the Quran, continue to guide the spiritual and ethical lives of billions.
