scripture of Islam.
Early Prophethood (610-622 CE)

The early prophethood of Muhammad, peace

be upon him, commenced at the age of 40 in
the year 610 CE. Initially, he conveyed the
message privately to close family and friends,
gradually extending his mission publicly. This
period was marked by opposition and
persecution from Meccan leaders, but it laid
the foundation for the spread of Islam, as his
followers embraced the monotheistic faith he
preached.

the local inhabitants. This event marked the

chapter in Islamic history. In Medina, the Prophet
established a thriving Muslim community, laid the

Constitution of Medina, a historic document that outlined
the rights and responsibilities of various communities,
ensuring harmony among Muslims, Jews, and other
residents. This marked a significant step towards the
realization of a just and inclusive society governed by
Islamic principles. Under his leadership, the nascent
Islamic state flourished.

and exile, the city that had once rejected him
embraced Islam. With a peaceful entry, the Prophet
cleansed the Kaaba of its idols, marking a historic
moment in the spread of Islam. The conquest of
Mecca was a testament to his mercy and forgiveness,
laying the foundation for the unification of the
Arabian Peninsula under Islamic rule.
 BATTLE OF BADR (624 CE)
The Battle of Badr took place in 624 CE, near the
town of Badr in present-day Saudi Arabia. It was a
significant early conflict in Islamic history, where a
small Muslim force led by Prophet Muhammad,
peace be upon him, confronted a larger Meccan
army. Despite being outnumbered, the Muslims
achieved a decisive victory, attributed to divine
intervention. This victory strengthened the fledgling
Muslim community's morale and demonstrated the
importance of faith and unity in the face of
adversity.

legacy lives on in the teachings of the Quran, and
his exemplary life continues to inspire millions of
Muslims around the world, making him the final
prophet of Islam.
Legacy and the Spread of Islam
After the death of Prophet Muhammad in 632 CE,
Islam's legacy and influence expanded rapidly. The
Rashidun khalifas, his immediate successors, played a
crucial role in spreading Islam across the Arabian
Peninsula, North Africa, the Levant, and beyond.
Through military conquests and trade, Islam reached
diverse regions, incorporating new cultures and
societies. The compilation of the Quran, the
establishment of Islamic jurisprudence, and the early
Muslim community's unity contributed to the
religion's enduring global impact.
