Muhammad (PBUH) is the last prophet sent by Allah.
He was born in the Arabian Peninsula, what is now known as Saudi Arabia in a city called Mecca in 570. After Muhammad's name Muslims recite a small prayer asking God to bless him and give him peace. This is often shortened to PBUH ( Peace be upon him). Muhammad (PBUH) was poor, both of his parents died by the time he was six years old. He grew up honest and trustworthy. He did not like conditions where he lived and often went out into the mountains to think about life.
One day while he sat and thought, God's messenger the Angel Jibreel (Gabriel) came and gave him a message from God.

And day by day Jibreel (Gabriel) came and revealed Quran to Muhammad (PBUH) from Allah. Muhammad (PBUH) started to teach the local community but the people who listened to him were persecuted and eventually forced to leave the area. Then Muhammad (PBUH) migrated with his followers to Madinah, known as Hijrah. This marks the start of the Islamic calendar because Muhammad (PBUH) found the first Muslim community there. After some time Muslims marched into Mecca and had no opposition. Muslims forgave the people of Mecca and, as a result, the people from Mecca became Muslims.
