Who was the Prophet Muhammad? (Pbuh)

In brief, Muhammad (Pbuh) was born in a noble tribe of Mecca in Arabia in the year 570 AD. His ancestry goes back to Prophet Ishmael (Pbuh), son of Prophet Abraham (Pbuh). His father died before his birth and his mother died when he was six.

He did not attend a formal school since he was raised first by a wet nurse as it was the custom in those days, and then by his grandfather and uncle.

As a young man, he was known as a righteous person who used to meditate in a cave. At age 40, he was given the Prophet Hood when the angel, Gabriel, appeared in the cave. Subsequently, the revelations came over 23 years and were compiled in the form of a book called the Quran which Muslims consider as the final and the last word of God.

The Quran has been preserved, unchanged, in its original form and confirms the truth in the Torah, the psalms and the Gospel.
