Prophet Muhammad – The founder, chief prophet and central figure of the major world religion, Islam, who is referred to by his title as Prophet Muhammad. According to Islamic belief, he was a Prophet and a Messenger sent by Allah (God) in the sixth century AD to present and confirm monotheism as conveyed by Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus. The Quran, Islam’s holy book, was first revealed to him by Allah whilst he was in Makkah at the age of 40, and revelation continued until his death in Madinah in 632 AD. Muslims globally revere Prophet Muhammad immensely and often utter a salutation of ‘May the Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him’ whenever his name is spoken or written.
