Hello hope you're doing well and you enjoy! Muhammad was born in approximately 570 CE in Mecca. He was the son of Abdullah ibn Abd al-Muttalib and Amina bint Wahb. His father, Abdullah, the son of Quraysh tribal leader Abd al-Muttalib ibn Hashim, died around the time Muhammad was born. His mother Amina died when he was six, leaving Muhammad an orphan. He was raised under the care of his grandfather, Abd al-Muttalib, and paternal uncle, Abu Talib. In later years, he would periodically seclude himself in a mountain cave named Hira for several nights of prayer. When he was 40, circa 610 CE, Muhammad reported being visited by Gabriel in the cave and receiving his first revelation from God. In 613, Muhammad started preaching these revelations publicly, proclaiming that "God is One", that complete "submission" to God is the right way of life and that he was a prophet and messenger of God, similar to the other prophets in Islam. https://alrashidmosque.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/The-Life-of-The-Prophet-Muhammad.pdf https://courses.lumenlearning.com/suny-hccc-worldcivilization/chapter/early-life-of-muhammad/ https://courses.lumenlearning.com/suny-hccc-worldcivilization/chapter/early-life-of-muhammad/
