The fact is that nobody knows. He never celebrated his birthday or anyone else's and this is why many Muslims don't celebrate birthdays; because Allah swt did not command us to and we were instructed what our two celebrations are to be and not to stray from what was Revealed.
Some Muslims celebrate a date, but it is randomly chosen as a possible date and no-one really believes that is the day he was born. I don't want to even mention its actual date, because it's a made up thing.
We do know this, though... Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was 40 years old when his prophethood began. It lasted for 23 years, and it thats how long the Quran was being revealed to him - the Words of Allah from the angel Gabriel (Jibreel). He died at 63.
The Islamic calendar begins at the year of Hijra (migration) from Mecca to Madina. It has nothing to do with his birthday.
His years of living were basically 571 A.D. to 632 A.D., but the exact date of birth isn't known.

Nobody knows, but maybe some time around 588 A.D.? I think Islam was established in 618, and i"m not sure if that's supposed to be Muhammad's birthday or when the Qu'ran was written. But if it's the latter, we'll say he was about 30 then, it'd be something like 588 A.D.

First, I am not sure. But, you can't say Prophet Muhammad (swt). You have to say (saws). SWT means Subhanahu wa ta'alla, which means Glory to Him, the Exalted. That title belongs to Allah only. SAWS means Salah Allahu wa alayhee wa sallam, which means Prayers and blessings be upon him.

"the best answer is:Prophet Muhammad(PBUH), son of Abdullah, son of Abdul Muttalib, of the tribe of Quraysh, was born in Makkah fifty-three years before the Hijrah"
