Muhammad
Muhammad (c. 570–632) was the prophet of Islam, revered by Muslims as the final messenger of God, through whom they believe the Quran was revealed. Born in Mecca and orphaned young, he was raised by his grandfather and then by his uncle Abu Talib, worked as a merchant, and became known as al-Amin, "the trustworthy." He married Khadijah, who in Islamic tradition was the first to accept his message. According to that tradition, around 610, while in retreat in the cave of Hira, he received the first revelation through the angel Gabriel. He preached the oneness of God, prayer, charity and justice, and in 622 he migrated with his followers to Medina, the Hijra that marks the start of the Islamic calendar. He returned to Mecca in 630 and died in Medina in 632. Islam today has nearly two billion followers.
