First of all, we are Muslims, and we have certain beliefs. One of them is believing in prophets. There are 25 prophets mentioned in the Quran. We love them and know their life stories. Some prophets received special books, like the Quran. Prophet Muhammad is the last prophet of all time, so the last special book is the Quran.

A prophet is a special person chosen by Allah, and Allah gives them important missions, such as teaching people how to pray or explaining the Quran. These missions might seem easy, but they were very difficult, especially during Prophet Muhammad's time. For example, his era was marked by the age of Jahiliyyah, like killing children, slavery, and lots of bad things.

Let me share his life story. Prophet Muhammad was born, but his father, Abdullah, had passed away before his birth. His mother’s name was Amina. He had a challenging life. As a baby, he was sent to a wet nurse but would visit his mother occasionally. Unfortunately, he lost his mother when he was very young. After her death, he was cared for by other family members.

When he was 40 years old, he went to a cave named Hira, where he received the first revelation, marking the beginning of his prophethood. The first person he told was his wife, Hatice. Prophet Muhammad explained many important things to people and performed miracles by the will of Allah. One of his miracles was splitting the moon in half.

He passed away at the age of 62, but we can never forget him. Allahümme salli ala seyyidina Muhammed.
