Muḥammad ibn ʿAbdullāh (
570 – 632), in short form
Muhammad, is considered in
Islam to be the greatest
messenger (Quran ) and
prophet sent by God to guide humanity to the right way (Quran ). Muslims believe that
Muhammad is the
final prophet sent by God; and the
Quran, which is the central
religious text of Islam, was revealed to Muhammad by God. According to Muslims, he was sent to restore
Islam, which they believe to be the
unaltered original
monotheistic faith of
Adam,
Ibrahim,
Musa,
Isa, and other
prophets. The religious, social, and political tenets that Muhammad established in the light of Quran became the foundation of Islam and
Islamic civilization.
