Prophet Muhammad

Description: (Founder of Islam)

Prophet Muhammad laid the foundation of one of the most widespread religions in the world - Islam. Some ancient branches of Islam claim that Muhammad was the last messenger sent by god, but some deny this fact. He is also credited with uniting the entire Arabia into one single Muslim Polity and all his teachings were collected in the holy Koran/ Quran. Orphaned at a very early age, his uncle took care of him, but Muhammad got tired of the material world and desired enlightenment. His regular meditation sessions in the ‘Hira’ cave, where he was supposedly visited by Gabriel, allowed him to gain a new perspective of life. He claimed that the revelations came to him inside the cave and he started preaching what he learned in there, ending up uniting the tribes into one ‘constitution of Medina’. He kept preaching his teachings and gained followers in hordes, eventually becoming the subject of Mecca’s elite’s hatred. Several years of conflict later, Muhammad finally barged into the City of Mecca with several thousand newly converted Muslims and took over the city, with a very little bloodshed. He continued receiving revelations from the god till his very last breathe and died in Medina at the age of 62. Other than Quran, his teachings also found a way in Hadith and Sira literature, highly regarded by the Muslims.
