say: "O men! I am sent unto you all, as the Messenger of Allah, to Whom belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth: there is no god but He: it is He That giveth both life and death. So believe in Allah and His Messenger, the Unlettered Prophet, who believeth in Allah and His words: follow him that (so) ye may be guided."

Al-A'raf (The Heights) [7:158] [RECITE] View in Context  

 

The last and the final prophet and messenger of Allah to all mankind is called Muhammad (s.a.w.) and at the age of forty he received the message of Islam from Allah through angel Gabriel (Jibril).

He was the last of a line of prophets like Nuh (NOah), Ibrahim (Abraham), Musa (Moses), and Isa (Jesus).

The message of Islam was revealed to him in Makkah and Madinah in Arabia. He died at the age of 63 (lunar years) and his grave is in his house, which happened to be his Masjid in Madinah (Al-Masjid An-Nabawi).

Muhammad (s.a.w.) lived as an honest man, and he practiced the teachings exactly the same way he preached. He was a prophet, a messenger, a husband, a father, a religious leader, a political leader, and a reformer. He is the summation, the culmination, and the purification for all the previous prophets that came before him. He is the most influential man in the history of mankind.

He was born in Arabia about 570 and died in 632.
