First Person

RASULULLAH Muhammad saw.

Muhammad, the founder of Islam, was a prophet who preached and confirmed the monotheistic teachings of various prophets. He was born in Mecca in approximately 570 CE and raised by his grandfather and uncle after his parents' deaths. At the age of 40, Muhammad received his first revelation from God in a cave. He began publicly preaching these revelations, emphasizing the oneness of God and his role as a prophet. Despite initial hostility, Muhammad's followers grew in number. To escape persecution, some of them were sent to Abyssinia, and later Muhammad and his followers migrated to Medina. In Medina, Muhammad united the tribes and established the Constitution of Medina. After years of intermittent fighting, Muhammad conquered Mecca with minimal bloodshed. He fell ill and died in 632. The Quran, containing the verbatim words of God, along with Muhammad's teachings and practices, form the basis of Islamic law.

The Quran is the holy book of Islam, believed to contain the words of God revealed to Muhammad by the archangel Gabriel. It primarily focuses on Muhammad's role as the Messenger of God and mentions historical events like the settlement of his followers in Yathrib and the Muslim victory at Badr. However, the Quran does not provide much information about Muhammad's life in a chronological or biographical sense. For a more detailed account, traditional Muslim biographies written in the 8th and 9th centuries are considered important sources. These biographies include Ibn Ishaq's Life of God's Messenger, which is preserved as excerpts in the works of Ibn Hisham and Al-Tabari. Other early historical sources include the campaigns of Muhammad documented by al-Waqidi and Ibn Sa'd al-Baghdadi. While scholars generally accept these biographies as authentic, their accuracy cannot be fully determined. Recent studies have highlighted the distinction between traditions related to legal matters and purely historical events in these biographies.
