Muhammad was an Arab religious, political, and military leader who founded Islam. For Muslims, he is the last prophet sent by God to guide humanity. Born in Mecca, Muhammad received divine revelations that formed the basis of the Quran, the holy book of Islam. His initial preaching faced resistance in his hometown, leading him to emigrate to Medina, an event known as the Hijra, which marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar. There, he established a prosperous Muslim community and united the Arab tribes under the new faith.
