Detailed explanation-1: -According to the Quran, Muhammad is the last in a chain of prophets sent by God (33:40). Throughout the Quran, Muhammad is referred to as “Messenger", “Messenger of God", and “Prophet". Some of such verses are 2:101, 2:143, 2:151, 3:32, 3:81, 3:144, 3:164, 4:79-80, 5:15, 5:41, 7:157, 8:01, 9:3, 33:40, 48:29, and 66:09.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Prophet Muhammad is both a messenger of God and a personal role model for Muslims. Born in the city of Mecca on the Arabian peninsula in 570 CE, he was raised an orphan in his uncle’s house. He married an older woman, the widow Khadijah, for whom he had worked in the caravan trade.
Detailed explanation-3: -The voice called after him, “O Muhammad, you are the messenger of God, and I am the angel Gabriel.” This revelation was soon followed by others about the one true God. Eventually, the angel told Muhammad to begin proclaiming God’s message.
Detailed explanation-4: -According to Islamic teachings, he was the last prophet, or messenger of God, who received revelation. When Muslims mention Muhammad’s name, they ask God to bless him, as they do for other prophets such as Adam, Abraham, Moses and Jesus. Muhammad was born into the tribe of Quraysh, in the Arabian city of Makkah.
Detailed explanation-5: -Adam, the first man, became the first prophet and the first Messenger to whom Allah revealed.
