On April 20th of the year 570 CE a great prophet, and a great leader by the name of Muhammad was born. Born of the Qoreish tribes of Mecca, the main job of the tribe was trade. Muhammad was a simple man, who lived a life of poverty. His parents both died before they were able to see any of Muhammad's great works.
