Hazrat Muhammad (SM.) is the last prophet of Allah and the leader of all prophets. He is the greatest of men ever born on earth. There is none like him. He is an embodiment of all that is pure and noble.
Before his birth, The Arab's were ignorant and wicked, and they were worshippers of many gods and goddesses and were given to all kinds of vices. The people of other countries of the world also had fallen on evil ways of life by that time. Hazrat Muhammad (SM.) was then sent by the almighty Allah to correct the Arabs and show the world the right path.
He was born in the famous Quraish tribe of Mecca in 570 BC A.D. His father died before his birth. As a result, he became an orphan. His mother started to lay him. But at the age of 6, his mother also died. Then he was brought up by Halima, his milk mother. His grandfather and uncle took care of him.
His life started with sadness and suffering. As a result, he didn't get any chance to study. But he was taught higher things than book knowledge by nature and Allah's unseen and blissful hand. Allah sent Him to the world for the good of humanity. From his boyhood, he was honest, merciful, and thoughtful. He was called Al Amin or the Trust one. His uncle took him to Syria several times for commercial purposes. There he was appointed as a business helper under rich person Khadiza. He successfully managed her large business and won her trust. At the age of 25, he was married to her and became the owner of vast health. But he had no greed attraction for the wife and wealth. Then he started to meditate on the problems of life and death at the cave of Mount Hira. At the age of 40, light dawned upon him, and he got the truth. He preached: " There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah to preach this great truth to the world. This is the religion of Islam. The new faith was first accepted by Khadija, his beloved wife. A few others also accepted this and became his disciples.
But the other Arabian became furious when they heard about the new religion Islam. They gave an offer to Muhammad that if he stops preaching it, they will give him whatever he wants. But Muhammad ( (SM) didn't accept the proposal. Then they started to torture him by putting difficulty in the path, doing severe harm to His followers, and many other punishments. They also tried to kill him.
For the sake of Islam, he then migrated to Madina at 622 A.D. From this date, the Islamic era of Hijri began. This is called Hizrar.
The people of Madina warmly welcomed him. The Mecca people started to attack Madina to kill our beloved prophet and wipe the name of Islam. But they failed.
At last, Muhammad (SM) conquered Mecca in 630 A.D. and succeeded in bringing all Arabia to his faith.
This great prophet passed away in 632 A.D.
