Who was Muhammad & how did his followers view him?

Answer: Muhammad, or Mohammed, is the founder of Islam and is considered a prophet by Muslims and Baha'is. Muhammad (c. AD 570-632) was from Mecca, a city near the Red Sea in what is now Saudi Arabia. An orphan from childhood, Muhammad was raised by an uncle, a man named Abu Talib, and became a merchant.

Muhammed was born in Mecca April 22, 571 AD and how he became Muslim was because an Islam belief says that an angel appeared to him and told him to spread the word of god. His revelation was soon followed by others about the One true God. Him and his followers go on many journeys to spread the news. Muhammad becomes a prophet, his messages went into the Qu'ran. He then died in June 8, 632 AD.
