About the author
Born in Mecca around 570 CE, he is recognized in Islam as the final prophet and is the figure through whom the Quran was revealed. Historical reference works also describe him as a religious, political, and military leader whose teachings and community-building changed the course of Arabian history.
According to the traditional accounts summarized by major reference sources, he began preaching in Mecca after receiving revelations, calling people to worship one God and to live with moral seriousness, charity, and justice. After facing opposition, he and his followers migrated to Medina in 622 CE, a turning point that helped establish a growing Muslim community.
By the time of his death in Medina on 8 June 632 CE, he had become the leader of a movement that would expand far beyond Arabia. For believers, he is not only the founder of Islam in historical terms but also a model of faith, character, and devotion whose words and example remain deeply influential.
