Muhammad (saw)

No Human has left such a profound Impact on his followers as Muhammad (saw), the final messenger of Allah. He is an excellent model for mankind. He was born in Makkah, in Saudi Arabia, in the year 570 CE (Christian era). His father, Abdullah, died befor his birth and His mother Aminah, died when he was only six years. He married Hazrat Khadijah (ra), a noble lady of Makkah, when he was twenty-five and she was forty. His life as the messenger begins at the age of forty, when he received revolution from Allah through the Angel Jibraeel (a.s).
The people of Makkah used to respect idols. The prophet Muhammad (saw) invited them to Islam. Some become Muslims and others turned against him. Undaunted, he continued to preach as the messenger of Allah and gradually the number of his followers increased. He and the early Muslims under went terrible sufferings, facing stiff opposition from the idolaters.

In the twelve year of his prophet hood, in 622 Ce, Muhammad (saw) migrated from Makkah to Madinah, where there were already many new Muslims. The people of Madinah welcomed him as their chief and he established the first Islamic state there. The Islamic calendar begins as of this migration (Hijrah). He is the last prophet of Allah, He is the king of all prophets, he has sent as a mercy to mankind and out of all the Prophets he gave the most sacrifice.
Muhammad (saw) is the final and last prophet of Allah.
