One night during the month of Ramadan, Muhammad reported having a strange encounter while half-asleep in a cave. Muhammad performed devotions each year on Mount Hira, outside of Mecca. When Muhammad was forty years old, he had a profound experience that changed his life and ultimately established the Muslim faith. As a merchant, he was known by reputation as al-Amin, the trusted one. He married an older woman, the widow Khadijah, for whom he had worked in the caravan trade. Born in the city of Mecca on the Arabian peninsula in 570 CE, he was raised an orphan in his uncle’s house.
The Prophet Muhammad is both a messenger of God and a personal role model for Muslims.
