He was the son of Abdullah ibn Abd al-Muttalib and Amina bint Wahb. Muhammad was born approximately 570 CE ( Year of the Elephant) in Mecca. Muhammad united Arabia into a single Muslim polity, with the Quran as well as his teachings and practices forming the basis of Islamic religious belief. He is believed to be the final prophet of God in all the main branches of Islam, though some modern denominations diverge from this belief. According to Islamic doctrine, he was a prophet, divinely inspired to preach and confirm the monotheistic teachings of Adam, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and other prophets. Muhammad ibn Abdullah ( Arabic: مُحَمَّد بنِ عَبْد ٱللَّٰه‎, romanized: Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh Classical Arabic pronunciation: c. 570 CE – 8 June 632 CE) was an Arab religious, social, and political leader and the founder of the world religion of Islam.
