Muhammad ﷺ was born in Makkah. He lost his father before he was born and his mother in childhood. The Quran itself recalls this, together with Allah's care:
As a young man he was known for honesty and trustworthiness. At times he went to the cave of Hira to reflect on Allah in solitude.
The first revelation
❝ Hadith'A'ishah narrated: in the cave of Hira the angel came and said, 'Read.' He said, 'I am not one who reads.' After this happened three times, the angel recited the first verses of Surah al-'Alaq. Trembling, he returned home and said to Khadijah, 'Cover me.' She comforted him: 'By Allah, Allah will never disgrace you. You keep the ties of kinship, bear the burden of the weak, give to the destitute, honour the guest and help those struck by misfortune.'Sahih al-Bukhari 3 · Sahih
Twenty-three years
For twenty-three years revelation continued. In Makkah he called people to Allah alone and endured mockery, boycott and persecution. Later, by Allah's command, he emigrated to Madinah, where a new community took shape. At last, on the day Makkah was opened, he forgave those who had harmed him.
Of his character Allah said:
And of the purpose of his coming:
He is the last prophet; no prophet will come after him. A separate series on each chapter of his life is coming, in sha Allah.
