Who Was Prophet Muhammad?
An orphan who knew hunger. A husband who mended his own clothes. A leader who forgave the city that had hunted him from his home. Muhammad—peace be upon him—did not inherit a throne; he carried a truth that overturned one: one God, one human family, and no soul born above another. Within a generation, that message changed history. Fourteen centuries later, his courage, mercy and humanity still change lives.
“We have not sent you except as a mercy to the worlds.”
Qur’an 21:107
