“Allah is kind and loves kindness in every matter. [Riyadh-as-Saliheen volume 4, hadith number 633]”

Muhammad ﷺ the Apostle of God was a religious leader. Muslim religious belief holds that he is the Seal of the prophets, and that the Qur'an is the message of God revealed to him by the archangel Jibreel (Gabriel). Archaic spellings of his name in English include: Mohammed, Muhammed, and Mahomet. Born approximately 570 CE (Year of the Elephant) in the Arabian city of Mecca, Muhammad was orphaned at an early age; he was raised under the care of his paternal uncle Abu Talib. Periodically, he would seclude himself in a mountain cave named Hira for several nights of prayer; later, at age 40, he reported being visited by Gabriel in the cave, where he stated he received his first revelation from God. Three years later, in 610, Muhammad started preaching these revelations publicly, proclaiming that "God is One", that complete "surrender" (islām) to him is the right course of actiom (dīn) and that he was a prophet and messenger of God, similar to the other prophets in Islam.and that he was a prophet and messenger of God, similar to the other prophets in Islam.
