An Evaluation of Muhammad(PBUH)

We have already set forth the Muslim belief that Muhammad is the last of the prophets, who brought forth the full and final revelation of God to humankind (see Chapter 4). The fact that the Qur’an declares itself to be God’s last word, superseding all other revelations and religions—indeed, the claim that Muhammad is a prophet of God, a belief held by one-fifth of the world’s population—commands our attention.

Prophet Muhammad's Life

Prophet Muhammad's Life

Mohammad was born in 570 A.D in the city of Makkah. The name Mohammad itself means "Higly Praised". He was the only son of Abdullah bin Al-Muttalib and Amina Bint Wahb. His father, Abdullah, died before his birth and his mother, Amina, died when he was only six. Mohammad's parental grandfather, Abdul Al Muttalib, the most respected leader of Makkah, took care of him until he died when Mohammad was eight. He then remained in the protection of his uncle, Abu Talib, for many years. God, the Almighty, reminds Mohammed of his blessing in the Holy Quran, "Did God not find you an orphan and give you shelter and care? And he found you wandering, and gave you guidance. And he found you in need, and made you independent." (93:6-8)
