The history of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is extensive, but I’ll provide a brief overview from his birth to his marriage.

1. Birth (570 CE): Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was born in Mecca in the year 570 CE, during a time known as the Year of the Elephant. His full name is Muhammad ibn Abdullah. His father, Abdullah, had passed away before his birth, and his mother, Amina, passed away when he was just six years old.

2. Childhood and Early Life: Raised by his grandfather, Abdul Muttalib, and later by his uncle, Abu Talib, Muhammad (SAW) grew up as an honest and trustworthy young man. Even before receiving revelation, he gained a reputation as “Al-Amin” (the Trustworthy) among the people of Mecca.

3. Marriage to Khadijah (RA): At the age of 25, Prophet Muhammad (SAW) caught the attention of a successful businesswoman named Khadijah bint Khuwaylid. Impressed by his character and honesty, she proposed marriage. Muhammad (SAW) accepted, and their union marked the beginning of a loving and supportive partnership.

4. The First Revelation (610 CE): At the age of 40, during one of his contemplative retreats in the Cave of Hira, Prophet Muhammad (SAW) received the first revelation from Allah through the Angel Gabriel. The revelations continued over 23 years, forming the Quran, the holy book of Islam.

5. Early Challenges in Mecca: Upon receiving the revelations, Prophet Muhammad (SAW) began sharing the message of Islam. The early followers faced persecution from the Quraysh tribe, who opposed the monotheistic message.

6. Migration to Medina (622 CE): Due to increasing hostility, Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and his followers migrated to Medina in 622 CE, an event known as the Hijra. This migration marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar.

This overview covers the early life of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) from his birth to his marriage with Khadijah (RA). His life continued with significant events, including the establishment of the first Islamic state in Medina, numerous battles, and the conquest of Mecca.
