Founder of Islam (c. 570 – 632)

This article is about the Islamic prophet. For other people named Muhammad, see Muhammad (name). For the Islamic view and perspective, see Muhammad in Islam. For other uses, see Muhammad (disambiguation).

Muhammad (c. 570 – 8 June 632 CE) was an Arab religious and political leader and the founder of Islam.According to Islam, he was a prophet who was divinely inspired to preach and confirm the monotheistic teachings of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and other prophets. He is believed to be the Seal of the Prophets in Islam, and along with the Quran, his teachings and normative examples form the basis for Islamic religious belief.

Muhammad was born c. 570 CE in Mecca. He was the son of Abdullah ibn Abd al-Muttalib and Amina bint Wahb. His father, Abdullah, the son of Quraysh tribal leader Abd al-Muttalib ibn Hashim, died around the time Muhammad was born. His mother Amina died when he was six, leaving Muhammad an orphan. He was raised under the care of his grandfather, Abd al-Muttalib, and paternal uncle, Abu Talib. In later years, he would periodically seclude himself in a mountain cave named Hira for several nights of prayer. When he was 40, c. 610, Muhammad reported being visited by Gabriel in the cave and receiving his first revelation from God. In 613, Muhammad started preaching these revelations publicly, proclaiming that 'God is One', that complete 'submission' (Islām) to God (Allāh) is the right way of life (dīn), and that he was a prophet and messenger of God, similar to the other prophets in Islam.

Moreover, the Arabs have been known to be excessively fond of prodigious genealogies and often traced their lineage back to Adam . It is a historical fact that no nation, except the Arabs, raised genealogy to the dignified status of a science.

Ancestry of Prophet Muhammad

Prophet Muhammad belonged to the generation of Prophet Ishmael (Ismail) , usually called Banu Ismail (Children of Ishmael).
