Who is Muhammad ?
Muhammad , peace be on him , is the last of Allah's Messengers and Prophets . His name is Muhammad son of Abdullah . He was born in Makkah 570 A.D. Due to the fine reputation he enjoyed among his people , they nicknamed him ' the Trustworthy ' . At the age of 40 , he was endowed with the prophethood when Allah the Exalted , revealed to him , througel the angel Gabriel the first Qur'anic verses , Muhammad , peace be on him , was asked to preach the belief in the Oneness of Allah and warn people against polytheism .
The Makkan polytheists opposed Muhammad , peace be on him , and his few followers harshly , but that did not shake his faith nor waiver his steadfastness ,nor did it stop more people from responding to his preaching .
Finally , when the majorty of the people of Madinah embraced Islam , the Makkan Muslims took flight to Madinah , Later on , the Messenger of Allah himself migrated to establish the Islamic State . Few years later the polytheists of Makkah and their allies succumbed to the growing power of the Muslims , and Makkah was conquered . Some thirty years after the death of the Paophet Muhammad , peace be on him ,Islam had already spread throughout the world sweep - ing the two greatest empires in existence ; the Persian and the Roman .
