Sensing a threat, Mecca’s merchants and leaders offered Muhammad incentives to abandon his preaching, but he refused. This was especially true for members of Muhammad’s own tribe, the Quraysh, who were the guardians of the Kaaba. However, when his message condemned idol worship and polytheism, many of Mecca’s tribal leaders began to see Muhammad and his message as a threat.īesides going against long-standing beliefs, the condemnation of idol worship had economic consequences for merchants who catered to the thousands of pilgrims who came to Mecca every year. Most people in Mecca either ignored him or mocked him as just another prophet. Soon, Muhammad (PBUH) began to gather a small following, initially encountering no opposition.
In time, Muhammad earned a reputation as honest and sincere, acquiring the nickname “al-Amin” meaning faithful or trustworthy. The family was active in Meccan politics and trade. He came from a poor but respectable family that was a member of the Quraysh tribe. His father died before he was born and he was raised first by his grandfather and then by his uncle. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was born around 570, AD in Mecca. This year’s passing anniversary falls on September 14, since the Islamic calendar is based on lunar months. The Prophet of Islam passed away at the age of 62 in Medina, located in Saudi Arabia. Muslims mourn his demise, but celebrate his legacy of humanity and equality. Islam's Prophet continues to win the hearts of Muslims across different generations, who remember him as the prophet of mercy. He was viewed as the savior who became a beacon of hope for those oppressed by the powerful.
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was born in a society gripped by violence, ignorance, and sexual and social discrimination. Millions of devotees of the Holy Prophet and the Infallible Imams from across the country, as well as a large number of foreign pilgrims, gather in the northeastern Iranian holy city of Mashhad to hold mourning ceremonies. Muslims attend the mourning ceremonies in different cities of Iran, especially the ceremonies held at the holy shrines of Imam Reza (PBUH) and Hazrat Masoumeh (PBUH).
