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 Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

مَـٰلِكِ يَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ
Thee (alone) we worship; Thee (alone) we ask for help.
إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ
Show us the straight path,
ٱهْدِنَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ
The path of those whom Thou hast favoured; Not the (path) of those who earn Thine anger nor of those who go astray.
صِرَٰطَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ ٱلْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

This is the Scripture whereof there is no doubt, a guidance unto those who ward off (evil).
ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبُ لَا رَيْبَ ۛ فِيهِ ۛ هُدًى لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ
Who believe in the Unseen, and establish worship, and spend of that We have bestowed upon them;
ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْغَيْبِ وَيُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَـٰهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ
And who believe in that which is revealed unto thee (Muhammad) and that which was revealed before thee, and are certain of the Hereafter.
وَٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ مِن قَبْلِكَ وَبِٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ هُمْ يُوقِنُونَ
These depend on guidance from their Lord. These are the successful.
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ عَلَىٰ هُدًى مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ ۖ وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ
As for the Disbelievers, Whether thou warn them or thou warn them not it is all one for them; they believe not.

Allah hath sealed their hearing and their hearts, and on their eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be an awful doom.
خَتَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَعَلَىٰ سَمْعِهِمْ ۖ وَعَلَىٰٓ أَبْصَـٰرِهِمْ غِشَـٰوَةٌ ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ
And of mankind are some who say: We believe in Allah and the Last Day, when they believe not.
وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يَقُولُ ءَامَنَّا بِٱللَّهِ وَبِٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ وَمَا هُم بِمُؤْمِنِينَ
