which encompassed the southern Arabia

and a part of Northern Africa

present-day abyssinia in 615 A.D

the kingdom of oxum was an ancient state

that existed in the region of Ethiopia

and Eritrea in East Africa

its capital was the city of aksun which

became an important political cultural

and Commercial Center in antiquity

the Kingdom of Aksum flourished during

the first centuries of the Christian era

and played a significant role in the

trade routes between Africa the Arabian

Peninsula India and the Roman Empire

farewell pilgrimage he fell ill and died

at the time of his passing most of the

Arabian Peninsula had converted to the

Islamic religion

the revelations Muhammad was reported to

have received until his death were known

as al-way which means sign of God

these Revelations were recorded as

verses from the Quran which Muslims

consider the very word of God on which

the religion is based

in addition to the Quran Muhammad's

teachings and practices called Suna

found in the literature of the hadiths

are also retained and used as sources of

Islamic law today

now some Curiosities about Muhammad's

life many people know and at the same

time do not know that he was a direct

descendant of Ishmael through his father

and that he descended from one of

ishmael's sons or at least from one of

the descendants of Ishmael named Adnan

although most claim that Muhammad was a

descendant of Ishmael through one of The

Descendants named at Nan there are also

some speculative views that suggest that

he could have other mixtures with

different Arab peoples such as the

midianites or other descendants of

Abraham that he had with Katura however

the general consensus in Islam about

Muhammad's origin is that he was a

typical ismaili

regarding Muhammad's physical appearance

in some books he is described by his

companions as follows

God's messenger Muhammad was neither

very tall nor very short neither

absolutely white nor dark brown in color

his hair was neither curly nor length

God sent him as a messenger when he was

40 years old after that he resided in

Mecca for 10 years and in Medina for

another 10 years

when God took him he had only 20 white

hairs on his head and beard

these descriptions help form a physical

image of Muhammad According to Islamic

tradition

however it is important to note that

these descriptions may vary across

different historical and religious

sources

it is true that according to reports

from people who accompanied Muhammad he

had physical characteristics typical of

a Semitic man with a Semitic ethnoracial

origin

his appearance was reminiscent of the

ancient semites such as the Arabs who

generally have a yellowish skin tone

neither very white nor dark and an

average height neither short nor tall

his hair was not curled or straight but

rather wavy as seen in the tombs of the

ancient hixos who were also people of

Semitic origin

as for Muhammad's wives there are

different accounts some saying that he

had about 11 wives While others

mentioned 13 considering some of them to

be concubines

among his best-known wives are Khadija

Sada and Aisha

it is widely believed that Muhammad died

in 632 A.D in the month of June and it

is likely that he was around 62 years

old at the time of his death although

some accounts mentioned 61 years

some people claim that he passed away at

the age of 62 this time in the city of

Medina

he was the founder of Islam and by some

accounts had three sons and four

daughters

it is commonly believed that all these

children were born to his first wife

Khadijah except for one son named

Ibrahim who was born to marry many

Shiite Muslims however maintain that

Fatima was Muhammad's only biological

daughter

furthermore he also had an adopted son

named Zaid IB and haritha

Muhammad belongs to the Arab tribe of

quraish which had an ancient ismaili

heritage

he was part of the arabanu Hashem Clan

which was a branch of the quraish

there is also a story that relates that

during his first sermons many Arabs told

him that their experience was not a

divine revelation but only a Jinn that

is an ancient pair of demon playing with

Muhammad

this interpretation or perspective was

widely held in Antiquity during his time

and many people even believed and

expressed it to him

however most Muslim Arabs do not believe

that it was a Jinn who impersonated the

angel Gabriel and conveyed such Visions

to him

Medina is where Muhammad was buried and

is home to the prophet's mosque which is

highly revered by Muslims

the city of Medina is seen as a place of

refuge and peace and visiting the

prophet's mosque is a common practice

for Muslims making the pilgrimage to

Mecca

I hope you enjoyed the origin story of

Muhammad which is the starting point of

the Islamic religion adopted as the

official religion in most Arab countries

as well as some other North African

countries with Arab or Berber origin
