tell me about the life of prophet Muhammad before becoming a prophet at the age of 40?

Question

what was his life like before becoming a prophet?

Answer 1

prophet Muhammad was an orphan man, who can't read or write. he wasn't a priest, neither own a church. but he was a simple man did not bother no one, and no one bother him. He was known by his people by two nick names, Al-sadik (one who speaks the truth) and Al-amin (the trust). He was married to only one wife which was older than him by 15 years. he stays with her for 15 years till she dies. and if he really was into women as people claim, he would done it in the age of 20s and 30s (the age of most high sexual urges). it was common in Arabia to have more than one wife, but Muhammad at that time was married only to one wife. he wasn't a person who drink or go to bars, while many Arabians are addicted to alcoholic and love going to bars.

when he gets closer to 40 years old, the first signs was true dreams. everytime he dreams it comes true. so he starts to like to have a time alone in a cave called "hera". he take whatever necessary (food, drink) and go spend some time alone in that cave called "hera". in that cave of Hera, he sat there thinking of God and the universal. and one day while he was setting, Angel Gibriel came down as a human form, and asked him to Read. Muhammad surprisely scared said "I can't Read?". then Angel Gibriel hold Muhammad tightly until Muhammad though he will die, then Angel Gibriel asked him again: "Read!". Muhammad was so frightening and told him again "I Can't Read"!. Angel Gibriel did it one more time "READ!". Muhammad said "What do you want me to Read?". then Angel Gibriel told him the first five verses from the Quran:

[1] Read! In the Name of your Lord Who has created (all that exists).

[2] He has created man from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood).

[3] Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous.

[4] Who has taught (the writing) by the pen.

[5] He has taught man that which he knew not.
Quran 96:1-5

Then Angel Gibriel left him alone. then Muhammad ran fast frightining and scared toward his home, he told his wife to cover him. so his wife starts to calm him down. and from this moment the verses of God came down to him piece by piece until the Quran was compeleted, and Muhammad died in his 60s.

Answer 2

Muhammed was born almost 600 years after Christ.

Then he tried to re-write history and falsify the teachings of Christ by writing the Quran....

Muslims (and Islam) say Jesus was a prophet but they reject all His teachings .....that is hypocrisy.

They reject Christ's divinity;
they reject his claim to be the Son of God;
they reject his death on the cross...
they reject His ressurrection..
They reject Jesus is the Christ/ Messiah...
Need I say more...?

Don't be deceived. The Islamic god is totally different than the God of Jesus Christ .

The Bible calls Muhammed a False prophet....
"Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is anti-Christ, that denies the Father and the Son. He that denies the Son, the same has not the Father." (I John 2:22)

Answer 3

Was Jesus afraid of Demons? No
Were Demons afraid of him? Yes
Was Muhammad afraid of Demons? Yes
Was Muhammad repeatedly attack by Demons? Yes

Muhammad was born around 570 AD in Mecca. He grew up poor and orphaned on the margins of society, which was controlled by tribal chiefs and trading merchants. When Muhammad was a child his wet nurse (being a nurse she would know the difference between a stroke or something else) and mother notice attacks from sprits creatures, “When she asked if I feared a demon had possessed him, I replied that I did." - Ibn Ishaq, page 72

Later when he was older Muhammad worked for his uncle as a camel herder. Although his uncle had some standing in the community, Muhammad himself did not rise above his lowly station until he was 25, when he met and married a wealthy widow who was 15 years older.

Having now attained a comfortable lifestyle and the idle time that wealth affords, Muhammad would wander off occasionally for periods of meditation and contemplation. During one of these meditation periods a spirit creature who saw Muhammad to be easy to manipulate and bully attacked Muhammad three times telling him to read when he could not.

After these attacks he tried to remove his life by jumping off a cliff only to be stopped by the same sprit creature so it can finish with Muhammad. Muhammad became its prophet and it shared with him knowledge of the spirit world.

Sura 81:22-25 says, "No, your compatriot [Muhammad] is not mad. He saw him [Gabriel] on the clear horizon. He does not grudge the secrets of the unseen, nor is this the utterance of an accursed devil."

Muhammad is saying to his critics that he really saw an angel, and his words are not from a devil, or from his own imagination. No doubt the people living at that time thought he was inspired by a devil, so Muhammad spoke these words, as the Quran, in self-defense.

With his wife’s influence and support, Muhammad began trying to convert those around him to his new religion - an amalgamation of Judeo-Christian theology and pagan tradition that grew more sophisticated over time. In the beginning, he did his best to compromise his teachings with the predominant beliefs of the community’s elders, such as combining all 300 of their idols under the name “Allah.”

This wasn't enough to prevent the resentment of the influential leaders of Mecca, who mocked his humble background against pretentious claims of prophet hood.

At first, Muhammad was only successful with friends and family. After thirteen years, “the street preacher” could boast only about 70 determined followers, called Muslims.

Relations with the Meccan’s turned particularly sour after an episode known as "the Satanic Verses," in which Muhammad agreed to recognize the local gods in addition to Allah. This delighted the Meccans, who generously extended their welcome. But Muhammad soon changed his mind after seeing his own people begin to lose faith in him. He claimed that Satan had spoken through him, and he rescinded recognition of the Meccan gods.

Muhammad's personal life became a picture of hedonism and excess, all justified by frequent “revelations.” According to his biographers, he became fat and lived on the enormous share of possessions taken from conquered tribes. In the span of a dozen years, he married eleven women and had access to an array of sex slaves.

When he wanted a woman, even if she were the wife of another man, his own daughter-in-law, or a child as young as 6, he was able to justify his lust and inevitable consummation with an appeal to Allah’s revealed will for his sex life - which was then preserved forever in the Qur'an, to be faithfully memorized by future generations for him whom it has no possible relevance.
