• LIFE IN MAKKAH & PROPHETHOOD

On the first day of 41^st year of his life, Muhammad (SalallahoAlaiHeWasallam)  received his first revelation from Allah ta'ala through Angel Gibrail Alihesalam. First  Muslims were Hadrat Khadijah, Hadrat Abu Bakr, Hadrat Ali, and hadrat Zaid (Allah be pleased with them). After three years of his Prophethood, Almighty Allah ordered him to invite people openly to Islam. Then he (SalallahoAlaiHeWasallam) declared his prophethood in an open gathering  on the top of the hill called Safa. People who used to love and respect the prophet (SalallahoAlaiHeWasallam) becomes his enemies and started persecuting the handfuls Muslims. Prophet's uncle Abu Lahab and Abu Jahal were in the forefront to oppose and torture the prophet and his followers. 
In the 5^th year, life in makkah for Muslims was becoming unbearable, so they were ordered to leave Makkah on individual basis. In the 6^th year, Hadrat Umar (RadiallahAnho) and Prophet's uncle Hadrat Hamza (RadiallahAnho) accepted Islam, and right after that time, Muslims prayed openly and collectively in kabbah. Between 7^th to the 10^th year the Quraish of Makkah really made muslims' life miserable. They drove them out of Makkah to the outskirts and bycotted them for any business or family relationship. This was the hardest time in Prophet's (SalallahoAlaiHeWasallam) life. In the 11^th year, a group of people from yathrab (Madinah)  and accepted Islam. In 12^th year on 27^thof Rajab the Holy Prophet (SalallahoAlaiHeWasallam) went on Meraj to Heavens and beyond, Where he met Allah Ta'ala and brought five prayers for Muslims as a gift of Almighty Allah. In 13^th year of Prophethood, in the month of Safar, the Prophet (SalallahoAlaiHeWasallam) migrated to Madinah in the company of Hadrat Abu Bakr (RadiallahAnho) leaving hadrat Ali (RadiallahAnho) behind so that hadrat Ali can return All the Amanats back to the people

Muhammed is the first founder of a major world religion, according to western scholars, who had biographies written by contemporaries, and about whom there are numerous records in historical texts, although like other premodern historical figures not every detail of his life is known.

For the Muslims, Muhammad is just the last prophet of the unique religion preached by the other prophets before him.

The Islamic prophet Muhammad was born and lived in Mecca for the first 52 years of hishttp://www.quranandscience.com/images/stories/kaaba1.gif life (570–622). Orphaned early in life, he became known as a prominent merchant, and as an impartial and trustworthy arbiter of disputes. He married his first wife, the 40-year-old widow Khadijah bint Khuwaylid at age 25. He would not take other wives during her lifetime.

According to Muslim tradition, Muhammad began receiving revelations at the age of 40. The key themes of his messages in Mecca were the oneness of God and the rejection of polytheism, generosity towards the poor and the needy, kind treatment and emancipation of slaves, and the equality between men and women before God. Some of his peers respected his words and became his followers. Many others, including tribal leaders, opposed, ridiculed and eventually boycotted his clan, and Muhammad and his followers were harassed, assaulted, tortured and forced into exile. Several attempts were made on his life.When his uncle and chief protector, Abu Talib, who was the head of the clan of Banu Hashim died, Muhammad migrated to Medina in 622, where he had many followers who agreed to help and assist him.

Muslims celebrate the birth of Muhammad, and Islamic tradition relates many events during this period that foreshadow his prophethood. They also believe he made the night journey to Jerusalem and the heavens while still living in Mecca.

The Prophet’s Birth

Muhammad, son of Abdullah, son of Abdul Muttalib, of the tribe of Quraysh, was born in Makkah fifty-three years before the Hijrah. His father died before he was born, and he was protected first by his grandfather, Abdul Muttalib, and after his grandfather’s death, by his uncle Abu Talib.

As a young boy he traveled with his uncle in the merchants’ caravan to Syria, and some years afterwards made the same journey in the service of a wealthy widow named Khadijah. So faithfully did he transact the widow’s business, and so excellent was the report of his behavior, which she received from her old servant who had accompanied him, that she soon afterwards married her young agent; and the marriage proved a very happy one, though she was fifteen years older than he was. Throughout the twenty-six years of their life together he remained devoted to her; and after her death, when he took other wives he always mentioned her with the greatest love and reverence. This marriage gave him rank among the notables of Makkah, while his conduct earned for him the surname Al-Amin, the “trustworthy.”
