trustworthy, generous, and sincere. He was so
trustworthy that they called him al-Amin – the trustworthy
one.

detested the decadence and idolatry of his society.

honourable widow at the age of 25 while She was 40
years of age.

reasons:
i) To take care of destitute
ii) To nullify caste systems and ignorant beliefs.

MUHAMMAD- Divine Revelations
By the age of 40, MUHAMMAD started to seek meditation
and peace of mind in the Mount Hira.
One day Angel Gabriel appeared before MUHAMMAD and
said ‘‘ RECITE in the name of God’’.
The beginning of the revelation of the Quran was on 18th
Ramazan, 1st year of Prophethood. It was Friday night

hinder their spirit.
