Muhammad was the founder of Islam and the central figure in establishing and spreading the religion. He received revelations from Allah (God) through the angel Gabriel and preached the message of Islam to the people of Mecca and Medina. He unified the Arabian Peninsula under the banner of Islam and established Medina as the first Islamic state. Muhammad's teachings and leadership led to the rapid spread of Islam throughout the Arabian Peninsula and beyond, eventually reaching regions as far as Persia, North Africa, and Spain. Muhammad's role in establishing and spreading Islam was crucial in shaping the religion and its growth into a major world religion.
