Muhammad

Muhammad (c. 570-632 CE) is the founder of Islam, one of the world's major religions. Born in Mecca, he is revered by Muslims as the final prophet in a long line that includes figures like Abraham and Moses. At age 40, he began receiving revelations from God through the angel Gabriel, which were later compiled into the Quran. Muhammad's teachings emphasized monotheism, moral conduct, and social justice. He united tribes in Arabia, established a significant religious community, and left a profound legacy, influencing billions of followers and shaping cultural, political, and religious landscapes globally.
