Muhammad Ibne Abdullah founded the Islamic religion. Prophet Muhammad was born in Mecca in 570 CE. His father died when he was young, leaving his mother to raise him alone. Muhammad was raised by Haleema. At age 40, Muhammad married Khadija bint Khuwaylid. In 610, Muhammad began preaching Islam right after receiving his first Wahi, calling for people to worship only God and reject idolatry. In the beginning, Muhammad was not preaching publicly. After He started preaching openly, had backlash from society and migrated to Madinah. After returning to Mecca, Muhammad continued to preach publicly until he died in 632.
