Nearly fifteen hundred years ago the Arabs were divided into many tribes, sects and group. There was no central govt. That could dominate the whole of Arabia. In the absence of any centralized govt, there were tribal wars which continued for decades. In the mean time Hazrat Mahammad (s.m), prophet of Islam, was born on the 29th August 570 A.D. He gave the Arabs the light of Knowledge. He was born in Quaraish family. His father was Abdullah by name and Amaina was his mother. His father died while he was in the womb of his mother He also lost his mother in early life and was bought up by a nurse named Halima. His grandfather was Abdul Muttalib. Mhhammad (s.m) had a religious type of mind even from his childhood. From his boyhood he was trusted by all. That is why he was known as “Al-Amin”. He wanted to receive the true light from Allah. He was fond conquests and sometimes his uncle sent him to suppress robbers. On finishing his regular duties of the day he used to go to a solitary mountain cave Known as ‘Hera’. There he passed hours together in deep meditation. He had devoted himself for many years to deep meditation before he attained ‘Nabuwat’ at the age of forty. To him was revealed that Allah is one and he is the Lord of the universe. The holy word was revealed to him through Gibrail. He was taught by Allah and he was the last prophet. He brought from Him many good tidings for mankind. He was ordained to preach. There is no other God than Allah and Muhammad (s.m) is sent by him.
