  • The Islamic prophet Muhammad was born and lived in Mecca for the first 52 years of his life (570–622). Orphaned early in life, he became known as a prominent and honest merchant; he married Khadija at age 25. According to the Muslim tradition, Muhammad began receiving revelations at the age of 40. The key themes of Muhammad's message in Mecca were generosity towards the poor. Although some converted, many others (especially the tribal leaders) opposed, ridiculed and eventually boycotted his clan, and his followers were harassed, tortured and forced into exile. Several attempts were made at his life When his uncle and chief protector, Abu Talib, who was the head of the clan of Banu Hashim died, Muhammad migrated to Yathrib in 622, where many had converted and agreed to help and assist him. Muslims celebrate the birth of Muhammad, and Islamic tradition attributes many events during this period that foreshadow Muhammad's prophethood. Before his migration, they also believe he made the night journey to Jerusalem and the heavens.
