Prophet Muhammad is a central figure in Islam, regarded by Muslims as the last prophet sent by God (Allah) to guide humanity. Born in Mecca in 570 CE, Muhammad received revelations from Allah through the angel Gabriel over a period of about 23 years. These revelations form the basis of the Quran, which is the holy book of Islam.

Muhammad is celebrated for his teachings on monotheism, compassion, and justice. His life and actions, known as the Sunnah, are considered a model for ethical and moral conduct. His leadership helped to unite the tribes of Arabia under the banner of Islam, and his influence extends globally, impacting various aspects of culture, law, and spirituality.
