About Mohammad .
Mohammad was a son whose father had died before his birth . His mother also died when he was 6 years old . His uncle ( Abu Taleb) took care of him, Mohammad worked as a shephered and sometimes in trade between Hijaz (KSA) and Sham (Middle East) with his uncle Abu Taleb .
Mohammad married (Khadija bent Khowaylid) and worked with her in Trade. Since his childhood , Mohammad was known in All Quraysh (his family) and all Mecca for his perfect ethics . He was know as ( the honest and the truthful). And Quraysh (Mohammad's family) was the most honorous family in Mecca.
Mohammad had many marks that let many of Christians and Jews who saw him to think that he was the coming prophet the Torah mentioned because all of the descriptions in Torah was matched by him .
Mohammad And Fetishes' Devotion.
During his life before being a messenger, Mohammad never believed in fetishes that were devoted by Arabs in Mecca . He believed (by logic) that those things had nothing to do , they can never help nor harm . Mohammad was used to go to (Heraa Cave) from time to time to think in the universe and the creator of it who can never be a fetish.
Mohammad And Prophecy.
During his presence in Heraa Cave and when he was 40 years old , Mohammad felt in a man begind him who shaked his shoulders and said : Read ! . Mohammad replied: I don't know reading ! . The man repeated it three times and Mohammad repeated the same reply every time , then the man said the first text in Quran which was :
اقرأ باسم ربك الذي خلق ، خلق الإنسان من علق ، اقرأ وربك الأكرم ، الذي علم بالقلم ، علم الإنسان ما لم يعلم
Quran ( Surah 96 : 1-5). Here is the translation :
Oh Mohammad read ! . Read by the name of your God who is the creator who created the man from sperm . Read that your God is the most honorous who taught the people to write and taught the man things that he never known .
This is my own translation , maybe you can find a better translation online.
After saying that , the man disappeared . Mohammad was very frightened and went to his home threatened from what happened to him . Khadija (his wife) had a christian relative , she went to him and asked him about what happened to her husband and he said : the man who came to Mohammad was the same who came to Moses and Jesus before , he is Gabriel . Go and tell Mohammad that he is the prophet of this nation .
Since that , Gabriel started coming to Mohammad from time to time to tell him about Islam and to teach him new parts of Quran .
A Very Very Brief Timeline.
Allah told Mohammad to go and tell the people about Islam and ask them to follow it . He was opposed by Mecca's people. People tried to kill him once , but Allah sent Gabriel and told him about it . Mohammad survived and left mecca to Medina with his friends and followers where the people believed in him and his followers were increasing day by day.
In Medina, Mohammad established the state of Islam. Three battles happened between Muslims and Mecca people , two of which muslims were the victorious . During his life in Medina, Gabiel continued coming to Mohammad to teach him Quran , and Islamic rules.
Finally, Mohammad decided to return to Mecca, he prepared his army and started way back to Mecca . He wanted to enter Mecca peacefully with no blood because Mecca is the Most holy place in Islam in which Islam forbids fighting. Mohammad achieved his goal and entered Mecca peacefully . All people followed him as he forgave them in spite of all harm they offered to him. They realised that there was a hidden power supporting him which is the God's power . He started as a one chased man , but ended in ruling Mecca and Medina ! and all the Arab Island later .
Since that , Mohammad started to expand his message. He sent to more and more places . Most places believed peacefully whereas some have killed the messengers of Mohammad and so the fight was needed .
Why Do We Believe Mohammad ?
Many people claims that Mohammad was not a true prophet. But all of us know that prophets had miracles and Mohammad was not an exception . Mohammad had many miracles that proved he was a real and a true prophet . The Quran was the most important miracle for him . Quran mentioned many historical events that happened before thousands of years before Mohammad , and Quran told the stories of many previous prophets which Arabs had never known before him . So how did Mohammad know about history and previous prophets ? Mohammad was neither a Jew nor a Christian and he didn't live among them , so the only way by which Mohammad knew about all that was angel Gbriel who was sent by God . This proves that Mohammad was a true prophet .
Mohammad also said expectations about future which he was told by the God . Many of them happened which again proves his prophecy .
Quran has some "scientific truthes" . Scientists discovered them in the last few decades where they were written in Quran before 1430 years which proves that Quran is from God and Not from Mohammad .
