Detailed explanation-1: -The rise of Islam is intrinsically linked with the Prophet Muhammad, believed by Muslims to be the last in a long line of prophets that includes Moses and Jesus.
Detailed explanation-2: -When the Prophet first saw the light we are told that the men of Quraysh came to ‘abd-al-Mutlib, his grand-father, and asked him what name he would give the child. To this he replied, “I have named him Muhammad”.
Detailed explanation-3: -Most historians believe that Islam originated in Mecca and Medina at the start of the 7th century CE. Muslims regard Islam as a return to the original faith of the Abrahamic prophets, such as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon, and Jesus, with the submission (Islām) to the will of God.
Detailed explanation-4: -On Muhammad’s death (June 8, 632), the Muslims of Medina resolved the crisis of succession by accepting Abū Bakr as the first khalīfat rasūl Allāh (“deputy [or successor] of the Prophet of God, ‘’ or caliph).
