Who is Muhammad?
Muhammad (PBUH) was born in the city of Makkah (Arabia) in the year 570 AD. At the age of 40, while engaged in a meditative retreat, Muhammad (PBUH) received his first revelation from God through the angel Gabriel. The revelations which continued periodically for 23 years are known collectively as the Quran. By the time the Prophet (PBUH) died at the age of 63, the message of Islam had spread as far as Spain in the West and China in the east.
