Muhammad married Khadija at 25 when she was 40. Muhammad and Khadija had 7 children and only one lived to marry and have children. Muhammad’s call to prophethood came when he was after he was40 years old. Muhammad was probably illiterate but he was known for his solitude and spirituality. Muhammad would go to a cave to get away from the chaos of the city. One day when he was in the cave he had to recite: Recite- in the name of thy Lord Who created man from blood coagulated Recite! Thy Lord is wondrous kind Who by the pen has taught mankind Things they knew not ( being blind) Muhammad went home to tell his wife, his wife took him to the wise man and the wise man told him he was a prophet. Muhammad would get these revelations for a long time and told it to people who soon wrote it down. Why is Prophet Muhammad Important to the History of Islam? Prophet Muhammad is important to the history of Islam because he changed the way people in Islam thought. He also spoke the revelations of Allah. This made the Qu’ran which many people in Islam worshiped.
