Who Was Muhammad?

Muhammad was the prophet and founder of Islam.

In 630, the Muslim army marched into Mecca, taking the city with minimum casualties. Of all the gods worshipped, it is believed that Allah was considered the greatest and the only one without an idol.

In his early teens, Muhammad worked in a camel caravan, following in the footsteps of many people his age, born of meager wealth.

This event marks the beginning of the Muslim calendar. The town of Mecca was an important trading and religious center, home to many temples and worship sites where the devoted prayed to the idols of these gods. Among our ranks are book authors and award-winning journalists.

The Angel Gabriel appeared and relayed the word of God: “Recite in the name of your Lord who creates, creates man from a clot! His father died before he was born and he was raised first by his grandfather and then his uncle. Most Islamic historians believe Muhammad was initially disturbed by the revelations and that he didn’t reveal them publicly for several years.

In the final major confrontation, The Battle of the Trench and Siege of Medina, Muhammad and his followers prevailed and a treaty was signed. He died on June 8, 632, at the age of 62, and was buried at al-Masjid an-Nabawi (the Mosque of the Prophet) one of the first mosques built by Muhammad in Medina. As of 2015, there are over 1.8 billion Muslims in the world who profess, “There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is his prophet.”

Quick Facts

FULL NAME: Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Abd al-Muttalib ibn Hashim
BORN: c.

There Muhammad was instrumental in bringing an end to a civil war raging amongst several of the city’s tribes. We have worked as daily newspaper reporters, major national magazine editors, and as editors-in-chief of regional media publications. Sensing a threat, Mecca’s merchants and leaders offered Muhammad incentives to abandon his preaching, but he refused.

Increasingly, the resistance to Muhammed and his followers grew and they were eventually forced to emigrate from Mecca to Medina, a city 260 miles to the north in 622.

By now, Muhammad had plenty of forces and the balance of power had shifted away from the Meccan leaders to him. Besides going against long standing beliefs, the condemnation of idol worship had economic consequences for merchants who catered to the thousands of pilgrims who came to Mecca every year. Most tribes were polytheistic, worshipping their own set of gods.
