Prophet Muhammad is the founder of Islam and revered by Muslims as the final and seal of the prophets, through whom God revealed the Quran over 23 years. His life and teachings, preserved in the Hadith and Sunnah, have shaped the spiritual, legal, ethical, and cultural fabric of over 1.8 billion Muslims worldwide.
Muhammad ibn Abdullah was born around 570 CE in Mecca into the Quraysh tribe and orphaned at a young age, coming under the care of his grandfather and later his uncle Abu Talib. At the age of 40, while meditating in the Cave of Hira, he received the first revelation of the Quran through the angel Jibril (Gabriel), marking the beginning of his prophetic mission. He spent 13 years preaching in Mecca, facing fierce opposition, before emigrating to Medina in 622 CE — an event known as the Hijra that marks the start of the Islamic calendar. In Medina he established the first Muslim community-state, articulated a comprehensive system of law and ethics, and ultimately unified most of the Arabian Peninsula under the message of monotheism and submission to God (Islam). His exemplary character — described in the Quran as 'an excellent model' — encompassing compassion, justice, humility, and courage, continues to serve as the spiritual and moral ideal for Muslims across the globe.
Wisdom
The Prophet said, "A woman was created from a curved rib. If you try to straighten her, you will break her. If you leave her alone, she will become even more crooked. Therefore, treat her with kindness and care."
The Prophet said, "Suppose a man donates one dinar for a religious cause, another for freeing a slave, a third for charity, and gives a fourth to his wife. The act of giving to his wife surpasses the merit of all the other charitable acts combined."
The Prophet said, "I looked into hell and found many women there. When I asked why, I was told it was because they mistreated their husbands and showed ingratitude towards them."
The Prophet asked me if I wanted to see them, and when I replied yes, he lifted me up with his own blessed hand, and I watched.
In the name of Allāh,1 the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.2
[All] praise is [due] to Allāh, Lord of the worlds -
The Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful,
Sovereign of the Day of Recompense.1
It is You we worship and You we ask for help.
Guide us to the straight path -
The path of those upon whom You have bestowed favor, not of those who have earned [Your] anger or of those who are astray.
Alif, Lām, Meem.1
This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious of Allāh -
Who believe in the unseen, establish prayer,1 and spend out of what We have provided for them,
And who believe in what has been revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], and what was revealed before you, and of the Hereafter they are certain [in faith].
Those are upon [right] guidance from their Lord, and it is those who are the successful.
Indeed, those who disbelieve - it is all the same for them whether you warn them or do not warn them - they will not believe.
Allāh has set a seal upon their hearts and upon their hearing, and over their vision is a veil.1 And for them is a great punishment.
And of the people are some who say, "We believe in Allāh and the Last Day," but they are not believers.
