Demise Anniversary of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) received the first revelations when he was 40 and after 13 years of inviting people of Mecca to Islam, migrated to Medina as a result of pressures by his enemies.

The Prophet passed away in Medina on the 28th of [the Islamic calendar month of] Safar in year 11 Hijri (632 CE). He established the first Islamic government and devised Islamic rules while in Medina.
