Mohamed (PBUH) was born in Makkah on 12, 750 CE. His father died before his birth, then he lived with his mother Aminah bint Wahab, but she died when Mohamed was six years old, then he went to live with his grandfather Abdul Muttalib and he also died when Mohamed was 8 years old and then He was raised up by his uncle Abu Talib. At the age of 12 Mohamed went with his uncle to work as a merchant. Prophet Mohamed wasn’t educated & when he became a young man he was so known and all people used to trust him and he was called by The Trustworthy (AL sadak Al amin) and he got married to Khadiga (Mohamed's first wives) and their marriage stayed for 24 years and all this time was thinking and knew that Mohamed ( PBUH ) wasn't a normal person and she was the first woman to become a Muslim and she helped Mohamed so much.
Prophet Mohamed didn't believe in any Gods that were found these days, so he used to go to a cave called Hira' and pray for the one who made this life and this world although he didn't knew who was he ?!!!? He was the only God (Allah). Hira' cave was outside Makkah, there his soul tried to get into the mysteries of creation, of life and death, of good and evil, to find order out of chaos & one day when he was in Hira', he was 40 years of age, that Muhammad received the call, while lying absorbed in his thoughts in the cave, Muhammad was commanded by a soft voice telling him to read and as we knew Mohamed couldn't read so he ran out to his room so afraid from this voice that he doesn't knew its source so he went to his room telling Khadija to cover him. Days passed and Mohamed went with Khadija to Warakah Ibn Nawfal ( He was a wise man and a Christian man) & they asked about what is that who came to Mohamed he said that what came to Mohamed is exactly what came to prophet Moses and that Mohamed is now chosen as a prophet from Allah.
Khadijah was the first to accept the truth of Islam. Muhammad then told his experience to his cousin `Ali and Ali's son Ziad and also to his closest friend Abou Bakr. The prophet began to do his mission secretly first among his close friends, then among his own tribe & at this time The Quraysh tribe were the guardians of the Ka`bah, which was a source of great profit to their city, Makkah. They were, therefore, seriously alarmed and became actively hostile towards Muhammad.
years Passed by and many of the prophet's relatives died and he was extremely sad and in this time he was totally hated by most of the people in Makah & Quarish made a big award for the one who is going to find the place where Mohamed is or to kill Mohamed
So God ordered him to immigrate to Al-MAdinah, so prophet Mohamed soon tried to prepare for his immigration secretly and he told his closest friend (Abu Bakr), but this immigration was soon discovered by Quarish who decided to slay Muhammad before he escapes therefore they chose forty men, one from each clan, who took a solemn vow to kill Muhammad. They were to strike so that the murder could not be avenged on any one clan & on the night they were to kill him, Muhammad left Makkah with Abu Bakr without anyone seeing him although the forty men were standing in front of Moahamed's house, but it was one of Allah's miracles & he immigrated safely to Madinah and people there welcomed him and was so happy.
Many wars happened then and GOD with Muslims and we won lots of them and Mohamed was so patient and kind, but one day we lost the Prophet Mohamed, the one that no one can replace, he died.I n AH 10, Muhammad went to Makkah as a pilgrim, and he felt it was for the last time because the revelation he received there included the verse [This day have I perfected your religion for you...] (Al-Ma’idah: 3). On his return to Madinah, he fell ill of a mortal fever. It lasted for 15 days, but he continued to lead the prayers until 3 days before his death, when he deputized Abu Bakr. At early dawn on the last day of his earthly life, Muhammad came out from his room beside the mosque and joined the public prayers, but later in that day he died. The end came peacefully; murmuring of pardon and the company of the righteous in Paradise, the Prophet of Islam breathed his last, at the age of 63, on Rabi` Awwal 12, AH 11.
Here my story ends and I have nothing to say that although Prophet Mohamed died but he is still alive in all the true Muslims hearts and forever we will go with his sunnah.
