Kenitra – Today, the world is going through war time, many terrorist activities
are targeting innocent people in different parts of the world and in most of these
activities Muslims are caught up as suicide bombers or terrorists in short.
My aim behind writing this post is to just give the most accurate and original
information regarding our most beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon
him).

Here are 30 facts about the prophet Muhammad -PBUH-:

1. He was a descendant of the Prophet Ismail the son of Prophet Ibrahim. -
PBUT-
2. Prophet Muhammad PBUH was born in Mecca.
3. The year was 570 A.D.
4. Shortly after his birth his mother died.
5. His father was already dead before his birth. So he became orphan.
6. During this time his uncle Aboo Talib and his grand father Abdul-
mutlib took care of him.
7. At the age of nine he started going on trade trips along with his uncle.
8. He met with people of different nations and religions during those trips.
9. His character was respected by all. People throughout Medina including the
Jews gave him the name of “The Trustworthy.”
10. In one of his trips he met a Christian scholar, the scholar said to his uncle
that he will one day do something great and I can see it because all the trees,
mountains and sea are in the bow in front of him.
11. When he got 25, he got a proposal from Khadija for marriage which he
accepted and thus they got married. Khadija was 40 years of age at the time of
marriage.
12. For the first 54 years of his life he had only one wife. His only wife till 50th
year of his life was Sayyida Khadija.
13. They had sons but they died in their childhood.
14. Prophet Muhammed married Sayyida Aicha when she was 9
years old. 1400 years ago it was something very common to marry young girls,
in fact they were not considered young girls, and rather they were considered
young women back then. It is a historic fact that girls from the ages of 9 to 14
were being married in Europe, Asia, and Africa, in fact even in the United States
girls at the age of 10 were also being married just more than a century ago. Yet
with these facts no historian claims that all these people were sick perverts,
historians would call anyone who made such a claim to be arrogant and very
stupid who has no grasp or understanding of history.
15. He never ate alone. He invited others and then ate with them.
16. He encouraged the washing of hands before and after eating food.
17. He regularly visited the poor and ill.
18. Upon visiting a person, he used to greet them and then take their
permission before entering the house and encourage others to do the same as
a mark of respect.
 19. He used to mend his clothes, repair his shoes and sweep the floor as well
as do the household shopping during his married life.
20. As people of Mecca at that time were involved in many sinful activities, like
they killed their daughters, did drinking, rape, and killing of innocent people,
Prophet Muhammad did not admire those activities at all and to have solitude
and peace he went to cave Hira.
21. Once when he was in the cave Hira he saw Angel Gabriel there. The angel
said to him « read in the name of Allah », Prophet Muhammad replied that I can
neither read nor write I am an illiterate.
22. After Angel Gabriel came again with revelations, he started preaching
Islam to people.
23. He used to preach to people, but avoided preaching to excess to avoid
annoying people.
24. He sometimes prayed so much his legs swelled. In one incident, he was
asked why he offered such an unbearable prayer and he replied with “Shall I
not be a thankful slave (to Allah)?”
25. He sent letters to Kings and leaders beyond Arabia inviting them to Islam.
26. Pagans and Non-Muslims did harm to Prophet Muhammad PBUH and other
Muslims by different means but Prophet Muhammad had patience and
perseverance.
27. His Prophethood lasted for a long period of 23 years, during which he
received Revelations from Allah.
28. He never proclaimed himself as anyone or anything Divine.
29. His name is now one of the most popular names in the world.
30. After 23 years of Prophet-hood Muhammad (p.b.u.h) died and after his
death Islam spread to other places too because of the efforts of his Caliphs.
The revelations of Allah on Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) were compiled
in Quran after his death.
