Muhammad was born in Makkah. He belonged to the Hashim Clan. His dad died soon after Muhammad was born. Muhammad's mom (Aminah bint Wahb) sent him away to live with Bedouins in the desert for 5 years. When he came back, he spent a bit of time with his mom before she died too.
At the age of 25, Muhammad married a woman named Khadijah. Khadijah was the one that proposed to Muhammad. Khadjiha ran a succesful trading business and Muhamnad worked for her. They had sevral children afterwards.
When Muhammad was 35, he went into a cave to pray, and he was visited by the angel Gabriel. In the cave, Gabriel told him to recite in the name of G-d and then he said "You are a messanger of G-d". Then, Muhammad became a prophet.
When Muhammad was 46 years old, a winged horse took him to Jerusalem. He met (in spirit) all the previous prophets such as Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. He then went through the 7 levels of heaven, and finially met G-d. This is why Jerusalem is also holy for the Muslims.
When Muhammad was 47, He and his followers left Makkan. They went to a town called Yathrib. The reason he chose this place is because Arab pilgrims from there came over to Makkah and asked him if he could come to Yithrab to protect them. Yithrab was then renamed Madinah, short for "City of the prophet".
As Islam was spreading across the land and into makkan, some of the higher ups in makkan felt threatened by Muhammed and his new power. In 624 fighting broke out, but a truce was declared in 628. It was broken in 630, and Muhammed and his army marched to Makka, whos leaders surrendured without a fight. The Idols were torn down and enemies were forgiven.
In 632, at the age of 62, Muhammed led his final pilgrimage. He delivered the Last Sermon in the town of his birth, reminding musilms to treat each other well and to be faithful. Shortly after, Muhammed died.
