Trade became common practice and is regarded as one of the stable income . Muhammad used to accompany his uncle to trade in the direction of North and news about honesty and trustworthy character spread rapidly , making many believed to be an intermediary realtors merchandise residents of Mecca .

At that time, Khadijah was approaching the age of 40 years old , but he still has a charming beauty to Muhammad . Much age difference and the status held by the widow Khadija is not an obstacle for them , though at the time the Quraish tribe has a culture that is more stress to a marriage with a girl rather than a widow . Despite their wealth grew , Muhammad remained alive as a simple man , he prefers to use his money for things that are more important .
He earned
When Muhammad was 35 years old , he went with the Quraysh in the repair of the Ka'ba . At the time of the Quraysh tribe leaders argue about who is entitled to put the Black Stone , Muhammad can resolve the problem and give you a fair settlement .

He could ponder for days ( brood ) and seek peace and his attitude was considered very contrary to Arab culture of the era were happy clustered . From here , he often thinks deeply , and pleaded with God to destroy disbelief and ignorance .
Muhammad was appointed first apostles on the night of 17 Ramadan / August 6 611 M , narrated by the Angel Gabriel came and read the first sura of the Quran were submitted to Muhammad , namely surah Al - Alaq . Muhammad instructed to read the verses that had been delivered to him , but he was evasive , saying he could not read . Gabriel repeated three times called for Muhammad to read , but the answer remains the same . Jibril said :
"Read in the name of your Lord who created man from a clot . Read , with the name of your Lord , Most Gracious , who taught man by the hand ( writing , reading ) . He taught man what he did not know . ( Al - Alaq 96 : 1-5 ) "

The verses are down as far as it is collected as a compilation called Al Mushaf which is also called Al - Qur ʾ an ( reading ) .
Most verses of the Quran have Izhar interpretation or understanding ( obviously ) , especially the passages about Islamic law , trade law , marriage law and regulatory framework set by Islam in other aspects . While most of the other verses revealed to Muhammad vague sense , in the sense that there needs to be more in-depth interpretation and assessment to ascertain the meaning contained in it , in this case mostly Muhammad gave an example of a direct application of these verses in social interaction and daily religious , so that his followers follow him as an example and a standard of conduct and manners in public life .

During the first three years since his appointment as an apostle , Muhammad Islam spread only on a limited basis in kalanganteman close friends and relatives , this is to prevent the onset of acute and massive reaction from among the Arabs at that time were already very assimilated culture with immoral acts , which in this context is contrary to what would be taken and offered by Muhammad . Most of those who trust and believe in the teachings of Muhammad in the early days were the members of their families and community groups lay close to him in everyday life , such as Khadija , Ali , Zaid bin Haritha and Bilal . But at the beginning of the year 613 , Muhammad proclaimed Islam openly .

After that , many people are curious and interested then come to Mecca and Medina to hear directly from Muhammad , appearance and personality were already well -known makes it easier to get sympathy and support in larger quantities . It is becoming increasingly easier when Umar ibn Khattab and a large number of other leaders of Quraysh tribe officials decided to embrace the teachings of Islam , although many also be given the antipathy that time a very large tribal sentiment in Mecca and Medina . It was also getting a lot of followers of Mohammed Farsi country ( now Iran ) , one of which is recorded Salman al - Farisi , a Persian scientist who later became companions of Muhammad .
