Abraham's two lines of heritage and race are known
as Banu Ismail and Banu Israel. Banu Israel's centre is Bait-ul-Maqdis
and Banu Ismail's center is Makka. Banu Ismail's most famous tribe is
the Al-Quraish. Muhammad (PBUH) was born in April 570 AD in the Quraish
tribe. His father Abdullah died before He was born and His grandfather
Abdul Muttalib bin Hashim died when the Prophet (PBUH) was 8 years old.
His mother Amina, died when He was 6 years old. His foster mother's name
was Halima Sadia. He laid the black stone (hajr-Aswad) in its place when
Holy Ka'ba was being rebuilt. He accompanied his Uncle Abu Talib on his
trade journeys to Syria. When the Prophet (PBUH) centered trade business
he was named Al-Amin (the trustworthy). He married Khadija (RA) d/o Wahb
bin Munaf when He was 25 year of age. They were blessed with 4 daughters
and 2 sons. Prophet (PBUH) was 40 years of age when the Angel Gabriel
appeared to him and he formally commenced his Prophethood. He announced
his Prophethood on the mountain of Faraan. Abu Bakr (RA) was the first
man to accept and embrace Islam, then Ali (RA) was the first child who
accepted Islam. Khadija (RA) was the first woman who embraced Islam.
Uthman (RA) was the sixth man and Umar (RA) was the fortieth to join the
Muslim Ummah.
Abu Talib died in the tenth year of Nubuwwah (prophethood) and Khadija
(RA) died five days later.
The Prophet's (PBUH) journey to Taif took place in 628 CE, on His
return, he was met by a party of the Jinn. He was bodily taken to the
heavens on the Night of Isra (Miraj). He was greeted by all the Previous
Prophets at Bait-ul-Maqdis and he led them all in prayer. Five daily
prayers were mae obligatory.
During Hajj, the Prophet (PBUH) introducded Islam to the visiting tribes
and a number of men from Medina pledged an oath of allegiance to the
blessed Prophet (PBUH) during the 12 year of Prophethood. The
non-believers of Makka resolved to kill the Prophet (PBUH) and He
migrated to Medina with Abu Bakr (RA), the following year.
- At Medina
In the first year of Hijrah, Mosques were built
at Medina and Quba. Bilal (RA) called the first Adhan. In the same year,
Fasting in the month of Ramadan was made obligatory and giving of Zakat
annually was also prescrbed. In the second year of Hijrah. The Muslims
came under attack by the Makkan's and the battle of Badr was fought,
during which, through outnumbered, the Muslims defeated the Makkans.

Hijrah. The battle of Uhud took place and the Muslims suffered heavy
losses after an initial victory. In the fifth year of Hijrah the battle
of the Ditch took place. All the anti-Islam forces allied to siege
Medina but were repulsed.
In the sixth year Muslims traveled to Makka for Umrah but they were not
allowed to enter Makka, the treaty of Hudaybiyah was signed. In the same
year Muslim women were commanded to practice Pardah (put on a veil).
The following year, Muslims entered Makka and performed Hajj and the
prediction of the Qur'an was fulfilled. The treaty of Hudaybiyah was
repealed because of its violation by the Makkans when they helped the
Jews of Medina, contrary to the terms of the treaty. The victory of
Makka was in 8ah (630CE). The next year the Prophet (PBUH) performed
Hajjatul Wada (final Hajj).

(RA) to lead the prayers in his place. The Prophet (PBUH) passed away on
12 Ribul Awwal. His grave is in Medina.
The Ansar (people of Medina) held a meeting at Saqeefah and elected Abu
Bakr (RA) as the first Caliph of Islam. Then it was endorsed by the
Muhagerin (immigrants) in the Prophet's Mosque and he was acepted by
all, unanimously.
