Hazrat Muhammad (Peace be upon him) the prophet of islam, was born in 571* A.D at Makkah. He belonged to the noble family of Quraish. Hazrat Muhammad (Peach be upon him) asked the Quraish not to worship their false God. He told them to worship the one and the only true God. Most of them refused to accept Islam . Their opposition to Islam become so fierce and terrible that he had to ask the believer to migrate to Medina. In 622 A.D the Prophet (Peace be upon him) himself accompanied by his faithful friend Hazrat Abu Bakar, migrated to Medina. This event is known in history as the "Hijra".
In Medina, the Prophet (Peace be upon him) founded an Islamic Society, based on the three principles, that all Power belongs to God. Muhammad (Peace be upon him) is his Prophet, and all Muslims are brothers to one another. In the 10th years of Hijra, the Prophet together with his followers went to Perform Hajj at Makkah. on this historic occasion he addressed a very large gathering of Muslims on Mount Arafat.
Although the Prophet (Peace be upon him) is no more with us, we have the Holy Quran to give us guidance. We should read it daily and try to understand what it teaches.
