 Islamophobia Text size: A | A     If we study the history of
Arabia and the history of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings
of Allah be to him), it is really astonishing. In the 7th
century there were two super powers: one was the Roman Empire
and the other the Persian Empire. In between these two empires
was the Arabian Peninsula where there were little resources. 
There were nomads, camels and less educated people.  This same
atmosphere was prevailing when Prophet Muhammad was born. He
faced lots of challenges in his life. He was born an orphan, and
then he lost two of his caretakers – grandfather and uncle. He
did not have any formal education. Until he was forty years old
he lived like an ordinary man. However, even before becoming
prophet as an young man, he commanded great respect in Makkah
and was called Al-Sadiq (the Truthful) and Al-Ameen (the
Trustworthy).  Other than that he did not perform any
extraordinary things in the society.
