Prophet Mohamed (Pbuh) , the last prophet from God to humanity , was born in the holy city of Mecca , probably in the year 570 AD , from Koreish Tribe , the custodians of the sacred Kabba Shrine . In his early life , he was a shepherd and a watcher of flocks by nights and the great religious teachers Moses and David had been before him . His father , Abdullah , the youngest of Abudl Muttalib's sons , was married to a lady from Yathreb named Amna , but he died in his twenty-fifth year , not long after his marriage . A few days after his death , Amna gave birth to a baby boy , who was named 'Mohamed' by his grandfather .
At only six , Mohamed (Pbuh) lost his mother and he was thrown upon the care of his grandfather . After the death of his grandfather (about 579 AD) , Mohamed was confided to the charge of his uncle Abu Talib who became the patriarch of Mecca . Mohamed passed his early life in his uncle's house .
From early youth , the Prophet was given to meditation . He traveled twice into Syria with his uncle . At his 25 , Mohamed (Pbuh) married a lady named Khadija , who was famous for
the nobility of her character . They had several children but all their sons died young , The Prophet's daughter , Fatima Az'zahra , outlived her brothers to see the great events of their father's life and she was married to Ali , the son of Abu Talib .
Mohamed led a calm quite life for the next fifteen years . He spent a month every year in meditation and spiritual communion in a cave in Mount Hira , not far from Mecca . The Prophet's soul was early and deeply stirred by the contemplation of those themes that ever attracted religious minds . He declared that he had visions in which Angel Gabriel appeared giving him revelations that he was commanded to make known to his fellowmen . The new faith he was to teach starts with the belief in the primary fact that "there is but one God , and Mohamed is His prophet" .
The first to accept his holy mission and to abandon idolatry was his wife Khadija , followed by Ali and several notable men: Abu Baker , Omar , Hamza and Osman(Radi'Allah anhom) .
For a long time , Mohamed (Pbuh) endeavored to gain adherents merely by persuasion , but such was the incredulity which he everywhere met that at the end of three years his disciples numbered only forty persons .
