Muhammad
Muhammad, the final prophet of Islam, was born in Mecca in 571 CE. When he was forty years old, he received the first revelation in a cave called Hira in Jabal al-Nour (Mountain of Light), approximately 2 miles from Makkah. In the year 622 CE, after an attempt on his life, he moved to Yathrib (now Madinah), which also became a holy city.
