The last of the holy prophets, the bearer of the holy Quran (not the writer). The most beloved of the almighty, for whom the entire world, the universe, heaven and everything that it contains -were made.\n\nLike for christians it is Jesus, who showed them the way to God and his glory, for muslims it is Muhammad (PBUH).\n\nIslam is not just a religion (like a subject, a department) it is a way of life and that is why the beleivers of Islam fight, to protect their way of life.

PBS had a great documentary on him, I'm glad I was able to pull this up: http://www.pbs.org/muhammad/timeline_html.shtml\n\nMany Islamic websites tell about his life:\nhttp://www.cair.com/Muhammad/\nhttp://www.al-islam.org/lifeprophet/\nhttp://www.islam-guide.com/ch1-6.htm\n\nWiki also gives a detailed view:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammed\n\nAnd if you are a reader, there are two great books I would recommend: The Sealed Nectar, and The Life of Muhammad by Haykal.\n\nThe reason I give these links is because the stories of his life are so detailed and it would take a very long post to include all of the important highlights of his life, both before and during prophethood. I wouldn't rely so much on some of the answers you are bound to get here, especially those filled with a muddy mix of ignorance and hate. If people stopped wasting their time on the two and replaced it with learning and just a little bit of knowledge, they'd be better off themselves. But, oh well. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink, right?\n\nGood luck on your studies!

Tell us a bit more about him.  Is he a prophet or a religious leader?  Is he the author of a religious book?\nThanks for the added info.  No, I can't say the name rings a bell.  Sorry and good luck.

First, let me clarify that I admire many women in history and it is dificult to choose whom I admire most. But, since you've asked us to choose, I pick Aisha bint Abu Bakr.\n\nAisha is arguably the most well-known wife of the Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) to both Muslims and non-Muslims alike. She was extremey well educated and had an incredibly sharp mind. Aisha also discredited many of the anti-woman ahadith after the death of the Prophet. When she believed that Islam was heading down the wrong path, she was steadfast and stod up for herself, and even led the Battle of the Camel.\n\nAisha is anexceptional role model for young women looking to find their voices. Aisha alway spoke her mind and always stood upfor herself and those in need. She is a perfect example how  women can be strong and loving, devoted to God and her husband but also to herself and other women.

I got this from the link mentioned in the source. Please read the whole article there\n\n\nIn the Name of Allah, Most Merciful & Compassionate \n\n02.153 “O you who believe! Seek help in steadfastness and prayer. Lo! Allah is with the steadfast.” \n\n\nAl-Haakim reported in al-Mustadrak, and al-Tabaraani reported in al-Mu’jam, that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Faith wears out in the heart of any one of you just as clothes wear out, so ask Allaah to renew the faith in your hearts.” (Reported by al-Haakim in al-Mustadrak, 1/4; Al-Haythami said in Majma’ al-Zawaa’id, 1/52, “It was reported by al-Tabaraani in al-Kabeer and its isnaad is saheeh.”)

Troy is a good answer and certainly a famous one, but I'm going to go with Gordion, capital city of ancient Turkey but now no more. I wonder whether it had anything to do with the famous "Gordion Knot?" It was fun looking this up. Thanks for the question!

The Qur'an (Arabic القرآن al-qurʼān, literally "the recitation"; also called Al Qurʼān Al Karīm or "The Noble Qur'an"; also transliterated Quran, Koran, and less commonly Alcoran) is the holy book of Islam. Muslims believe that the Qur'an is the literal word of God in Arabic and the culmination of God's revelation to mankind, revealed to Muhammad, the final prophet of Islam, over a period of 23 years through the angel Jibril (Gabriel).

even before the prophethood of the holy prophet (pbuh) he was known by the Truthful and the Trust worthy. people knew him very well and his follwers had absolute trust in him. \nSubsequently, in the second year of Hijrah, Allah revealed the verse of the Qur'an to Muhammad (pbuh) to change direction when praying from Jerusalem, and now face towards Makkah.\n\nMuhammad (pbuh) was facing Jerusalem; after he (pbuh) had already completed two rak'ats of the noon prayer , the Angel Jibrael (pbuh) communicated to him the command of Allah. He was directed by Angel Jibrael to turn completely around.\nSo he turned his body around towards the Ka'bah during prayer, and so did his followers. Hence, this mosque came to be called Masjid Qiblatain, the masjid with the two qiblas.\n\nIt is clear from the Qur'an itself that the change of qibla provoked controversy particularly among the Jews and the hypocrites who were their allies.\n\n"The fools among the people will say, 'What has made them turn away from the direction they used to face?' Say, 'To Allah belong both the east and the west. He guides whomever he will to a straight path.' Hence we have made you a midmost nation, so that you will be witnesses against mankind and the Messenger will be a witness against you. We did not appoint the direction you used to face except to know him who follows the Messenger from him who turns back on his heels. Though in truth it is a very hard thing except for those whom Allah guides. Allah would not let your belief go to waste. Allah is All-Gentle, Most Merciful to mankind."\n[surah al-Baqarah; 141-2]
