Prophet Muhammad
Muhammad, the founder of Islam and the proclaimer of the Qurʾān, is traditionally said to have been born in 570 CE in Mecca and to have died in 632 CE in Medina, where he had been forced to emigrate to with his adherents in 622.
This is the word "Muhammad" in Islamic calligraphy: 
Not much is known about Muhammad. He was briefly described in the Quran. Most of what we know about him is described in sīrah (Arabic: “biography”) literature. The literature was written more than a hundred years after the demise of Muhammad.
This is the biography mainly according to Islamic tradition. Muhammad was born about the year 570 CE into a respected Qurayshi family of Mecca. At the age of 40 in 610 CE, Muhammad is said to have received his first verbal revelation in the cave called Hira, which was the beginning of the descent of the Quran that continued up to the end of his life. Muslims hold that Muhammad was asked by God to preach the oneness of God in order to stamp out idolatry, a practice overtly present in pre-Islamic Arabia. Because of persecution of the newly converted Muslims, upon the invitation of a delegation from Medina (then known as Yathrib), Muhammad and his followers migrated to Medina in 622 CE, an event known as the Hijrah. A turning point in Muhammad's life, this Hijrah also marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar. In Medina, Muhammad sketched out the Constitution of Medina specifying the rights of and relations among the various existing communities there, formed an independent community, and managed to establish the first Islamic state. Despite the ongoing hostility of the Meccans, Muhammad, along with his followers, took control of Mecca in 630CE , and ordered the destruction of all pagan idols. In his later years in Medina, Muhammad unified the different tribes of Arabia under Islam and carried out social and religious reforms. By the time he died in about 632 CE, almost all the tribes of the Arabian Peninsula had converted to Islam.
