Hazrat Muhammad, also known as Prophet Muhammad, is considered the last prophet in Islam and the founder of the religion. He was born in the city of Mecca in present-day Saudi Arabia in the year 570 AD. His full name is Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Abdul-Muttalib.
Prophet Muhammad is known for receiving revelations from Allah (God) through the angel Gabriel, which were later compiled into the holy book of Islam, the Quran. He began receiving these revelations at the age of 40 and spent the next 23 years of his life spreading the message of Islam and inviting people to monotheism, righteousness, and social justice.
Prophet Muhammad’s teachings emphasized the worship of one God, compassion for all creatures, social equality, and the importance of moral conduct. He also established the first Islamic community in Medina after facing persecution in Mecca, marking the beginning of the Islamic calendar.
Throughout his life, Prophet Muhammad faced numerous challenges, including opposition from the Quraysh tribe in Mecca, military conflicts, and the loss of loved ones. Despite these challenges, he remained steadfast in his mission and continued to spread the message of Islam with patience and perseverance.
Prophet Muhammad is revered by Muslims as the ideal example of piety, humility, and moral conduct. His character, known as the “Seal of the Prophets,” serves as a model for Muslims to emulate in their daily lives.
Prophet Muhammad passed away in the year 632 AD in the city of Medina, leaving behind a legacy that continues to guide and inspire followers of Islam worldwide. His teachings, actions, and sayings, known as Hadith, form the basis of Islamic jurisprudence and ethics, shaping the lives of millions of believers.
